REPORT

REPORT:
That they fully respond to the de-
claration in the address, "That the
people Of the State demand a law suf-
fcently stringent to close effectually
every haunt Of intemperance within
its borders, is undeniably trOe,'' they
also feel that it is justly a subject Of
congratulation that the State Of Maine
should be the first community ''tO erect
by legislative enactments, which in
the hope and faith Of those who
framed them, could be neither avoid
cd nor evaded, a barrier beyond which
intemperance was not to pass" 1t
has been the object Of the committee,
in preparing the act which they now
submit, fully to sustain the honor of
Of the State in being the first Of the
sister States to enact an efficient law
for the purpose so indicated. They
have not intentionally taken single
step backward. Nmtum Vestigia re.
strosum, in dragging the giant from
his den, has been their maxim in
adopting thechanges by them propos-
ed. The great principle of the act Of
1851, which they regard as discov-
cry in legislation, as applied to this
subject, that will rebound to the last,
ing honor of its author--that is, The
seiling thestTenghaad the law
and destroying by the order Of the
court, the great agent Of the mischief
they have designed scrupulously to
preserve. 1t may truly be said to be
a discovery in legislation, on this sub
iect. Legislation has been at war with
intemperance in drinks for very long
period Of time, and has been thus far
constantly foiled and defeated. For
the earliest enactments of England,
upon this subject, we must go back to
the days of black-letter law, so far
certainly as the reign of Edward vi.
At parliament entitled, Of the 9th
and 9th years Of his reign, an act was
passed Of which the preamble is as
follows: "Forasmuch as intolerable
hurts and troubles to the common
wealth of this realm daily do grow
and increase through such abuses and
disorders as are had and used in COM
mon ale houses and tippling houses, it's
therefore enacted, nc. From that time
to this the same complaint has been
renewed almost every year, and the
statutes of England, and those of our
pilgrim fathers, Of our colonial gov
ernment, and Of our States, down to
this day, are full Of enactments on this
subject, constantly defeated, evaded
and rendered of no effect; showing
on the one side, a strong infexible
Anglo Saxon resolution to do some
thing to restrain and check the evil,
and on the other, an equally unyield-
ing determination to render every
thing so attempted nugatory and USE
less. The attempt in all this legisla-
ton heretofore, has been to restrain
andkeep within bounds the evil; and the
result has been that all these attempts
have been successfully met and resist
ed; and the lesson of experience to be
learned from these facts is, that the
principle upon which such legislation
is based, is wrong. The idea of this
legislation is to regulate and restrain,
1t has had its day, and failed to an
swer its end. The idea of the act
