Sycamore Township.

A correspondent of the Commercial
gives the following account ofth state
Of feeling in Sycamore township:
ut perhaps would not be amiss
with your consent, to let the people Of
Hamilton county know, through the
columns of your valuable Daily, what
the good people of Sycamore township
are about. We have long been asleep,
but I am happy to say we are now
fairly and widely awake. 1t is well
known that for long time the calls
from the democratic party have been
faithfully responded to by triumphant
maiorites in favor of their tickets; and
twill still be SO if clear ticket be
presented ticket composed of dem
ocrat temperance men. And this
feelingis not confined to the one par
ty. The most influential men of both
parties have declared their intention
no longer to sacrifice principles to ag-
grandize party-no longer to vote for
men because they are on the ticket
though devoid of moral frmness and
regardless Of the demands Of the peo-
pie. In short there is general ris-
ing up of the mass of the people
throughout the township, with a de-
termination to do their utmost to send
men to the next Legislature who will
reflect the will Of their constituents by
at least endeavoring to secure the pas.

tanning the fundamental principles Of
the Maine Liquor Law
zone instance to show the interest
manifested on this question. In Read
ing society has been formed and en-
grated in their constitution is an ar.
ticle pledging every member to vote
for no man at the coming election who
is not an uncOmpromising enemy to
the liquor traffic and who, If elected,
would not aid in the passage Of such
a law as the above. Meetings are
held every Monday evening at which
the subject Of a prohibitory law is be-
ing thoroughly discussed. Not an
opponent of such law can be found
in our midst who will take the stand
and oppose it from principle. We
only wish the public to know that we
will hereafter be trammelled by no
party, but will vote at the coming
election for men who will carry out
the will Of the people on this ques-
tion-the all important, and l might
say, the only important test question
now before the voters of the State; for
along side of this all others sink into
comparative insignifcance."

From the Christian Press.
The Maine Law.


The cause of temperance in this
Territory is decidedly progressive
1t is probably known to the friends of
the cause in the State, that we have
once had prohibitory law here mod
eled after the Maine Law, and also
that it went into effect and was sue
cessfully carried out for several
months, until Chief Justice Hayner,
then newly appointed, among his first
official acts, declared the law uncon-
stitutional, because it had been refer
red to the people and by them sane
toned and declared.
But the friends of a prohibatory
law were not easily discouraged. They
were determined to have law that
would be constitutional in the eyes
and faces Of wine-loving Judges. Last
winter the petition of l 857 inhabitants
Of the Territory went up to the legis-
lature, praying them to pass consti-
tutional prohibitory law. A remon-
stance to this, faithfully circulated in
every grog shop and gambling saloon,
could bring out but 388 names. But,
Notwithstanding this array, the legis-
lature refused to pass any such meas
ure, allowing, as the primary reason,
that it would be carried into politics,
and injuriously effect the position of
parties. But Temperance men saw
this trick, and determined to put the
question at once into polotics, and de-
clared in large meeting at st. Pauls,
500 to 2, that they would not vote for
any man for Office who was not the
known and pledged friend Of pro-
hibitory law on the subject Of the liquo
traffic.
On the 4th of the present month,
a Territorial mass convention assem-
bled in st. Paul, and after a full dis
cussion, resolved TO act in concert with
themselves, either securing the nomi-
nation Of the right men on the tickets
of their respective parties, or prepar-
ing a seperate ticket, on voting with
the party which may nominate Tenn
perance men, casting no scattering
vote, and casting no vote except for
known and reliable friends Of pro-
hibitory law. And here we stand
From this position we will not recede.
We mean to remember this pledge at
the fall election, and then 10 vote as
zoe pray.
One great disadvantage under
which we have heretofore labored, is
now removed. With four papers
published in the Territory, we have
not had one to advocate the law, but
now a new paper, the a sNorth-western
Democrat" has just been started at
St, Anthony, which will be decided
Temperance paper, and will do good
service in the cause this summer.
Write it down in capitals, We WILL
SUCCEED. We willshake hands with
Michigan next winter.

ophers, you haze 8 temperance law,
which, Though us constitutionality is
to be doubted,) is sufficiently strin-
gent, if made use Of. "If made use
Of" is well put in. This contempt
Bile compromise of the temperance
cause with the whisky influence of
Cincinnati, is disgrace to Ohio.
A law to benefit a whole State, must
be uniform: but this may have as
many notifications as there are town
ships in the State; and therefore it is
worse than no law at all, for when we
have none at all upon the subject, we
can with more assurance, ask for a
good one. But this miserable, con.
temptible shadow of a temperance
law, is not worth the paper it took to
write it on. Much has been said and
written upon the right Of the Legisla-
ture to enact a prohibitory law. In
the course of these papers we will
discuss the question.
AS we propose a series of papers
upon the subject Of temperance, we
shall make our articles short. We
propose to discuss the subject at some
length; provided our articles meet
with appreciation on the part Of those
who have charge Of the "Organ."
We feel deeply interested in this
subject, and we are witness, every
day, Of the sad state of affairs, in
which the absence Of law upon the
subject leaves us. | say the "abSence
of a law" for do moi regard the act
of the Legislature of last winter, au-
thorizing the trustees Of townships to
regulate the liquor traffic. in the light
Of law. Trustees, everywhere, re-
fuse to assume the responsibility thrown
upon them. If we can have no bet
Ter law than this we may just as well
have none, for what is the use of be.
ing Knocked with a law which is desti-
tute of uniformity, and its penalties
uncertain?
Having said this much, by way of
introduction, we will close this article,
and prepare ourself to open up bat
terry against rum castle, with such ar
guments as we think the nature of
the case demands at our hands-and
now, after wishing the "Organ" the
most unbounded success, we will take
our leave of the reader for this time.
