o. JAMES DENsMoRE had communication in
he SAYS the Maine liquor law cannot be justified on
principle, but can erp.diency, on which latter
ground he goes for it. We confess to an utter in
ability to understand the distinction made by Mr..
d., and the world generally, between principle and
eXpediency. The popular axiom is, whatever is
right is expedicnt." Would it not be more philo-
sophie and sensible to say, whatever is expcdicnt
is right" That which is expedicnt is that which
it is best TO apply under all the circumstances.
What then is principle Independent of this. If any
thing, ii is simply the idea of an individual or in
diylduals that there is something still better beyond
this " best thing" which, under the circumstances
cannot be applied, which idea may be true or may
not, but the merit of which, for the time being at
least, cannot be determined As we take it, prin-
ciple and expedicncy only different degrees of
the same thing the former being the expedicncy of
the minority and the latter of the majority. Mr.,
ID. perhaps sees higher, broader, and clearer than
the great mass of people, which makes it cxpedi-
cnt TO apply TO him much higher rules of action
than to the mass. This difference he calls princi-
pie; but the time will come when the great mass
will stand, perhaps, where he does when his prin-
pie becomes their expedicncy, The human mind
is progressive, consequently there can be nothing
but eXpedicncy for it, and the strife of the world is
only to apply in its social, political and religious
forms, the highest expediency, of which the mass
is cognizant. On this liquor question, the point
involved is, is prohibitory law in harmony with
Il l..s -
that is, is it cxpcdient, which point seeking
by vote to determine. Should it be determined
in the affirmative, while it is quite possible Mr.. D.
may see clearer and better, cal! it for the pre-
sent correct in principle

The Vote on the Liquor Law.

The voting on the Liquor Law, last
week. has resulted quite differently. in
many respects. from what people general
ly anticipated previous to the trial
When we last went to press, having heard
only from our large towns, and those too
reported as likely to 90 against the law
appearances indicated. as we then re.
marked, that the State had gone nearly
two to one for the law But the sybse.
quent returns have shown the curious fact
that nearly all the large towns which are
presumed to have the greatest interest
in the liquor traffic, have gone heavily
for the law. while The smaller towns have
gone as heavily against it, For this re.
suit two-fold reason may perhaps be
safely given: The most populous towns
embracing as they do our large villages
have suffered much more from the traffic
than the farming towns, and hence their
greater anxiety to suppress it and in
addition to this. nearly all the abcst lee
turers have been thrown into the vii
lagos, and a deeper interest in the tenn
perance effort has been awakened Some
counties. also, such as Windsor, which
were confidently counted on as for the
law, have gone against it This may have
arisen from the fact that in those coun
ties the old law has been so efficiently
enforced as to have insured the object
and that consequently the necessity fol
new one was not so much felt. and es
pecially one of some Of whose provision,
so much doubt has been expressed. But
whatever the causes of the result. the re
suit itself is no longer doubtful. The
expression in favor Of the law, or rather
of its going into operation this spring
has prevailed, and probably by about two
thousand majority. And we hope it vii
now be received as a law, and SUSTAINED
in good faith, as should ever be the lie
gally expressed will of the majority b,
every orderly and law abiding people
and We further especially hope that those
who, for years past, have been featuring
the Free Democracy on the duty of ODE
diencc to the laws. in reference TO the
execution of the Fugitive Slave Law
will now attest the sincerity of their pre-
cep,s by practical examples. Mon,pcl
