Mr. Daniel Hunt was nominsted for Assembly on
the strength of essarances from those VINO knew n
th.t he was in fsver Of Prohibi.Ory Liquor Law
TIE Temperance Convention immediately assembled
expecting and desiring TO iodorse bis nomination;
when hi. reehbors declared that he ras not az adj
voc1te Of Liquor Prohibition. Thereupon auo.her
candidate was named in bis stead aud committee a.
te- committee sent n Mr. Hunt o. ascertain bis
with respect 10 Prohibition expecting him to declare
in favor Of the principle, w0ereupon Mr. Babcock
would have been withdrawn ana the Temperance
vote thrown for Mr. Hunt But the latter refused to
take ground the Liquor question, choosing ss he
had perfect right to owe his election To Run De no
craft rather than to Temperance Wings, and thus is
be elected. But for those Democratic votes, Mr.
Bsbeock would have been chosen. Tais may be
practical Temperance" but it is not the sort tina;

Mr.. Howe ssys the whig ballots for Ssmers "rere
"placed in charge Of William Ted, Bsq.,
otIer member OF the Whg County Committee "
Does Mr. Howe know whether this same "Wn. E.
"Teed ESQ" supported Clark or Ulmann for Gov
erporl Has be looked at the vote ri Soners and
COMPARED it with its vote of former years Ii he
has be knows that the Whig party there dead aud
a good part of il rotten Has he scruiinized the
votes Of Greepburgh Of Bedford and OF Northcasile
the homes respectively of the rest Of his colleagues
or the Wing County Committee II ne has, be rs
aware that more than hGf their Wkig rotc ot 40, "A
and As was this year cast tor Ulmann and Scroggs.
Now it may be presumptuous on such Uncomfortable
data TO assume that the Wing party is no more but
il cannot be unsafe to infer from it that the West
chester Wing County Committee is desd-very dead
indeed. We believe majority Of its members had
"feen Sam before Election. an1 did their utn ret
to SECURE votes for the Hindoo ticket And we have
ample data for our averment that of the twelve hun
dreo and odd voters for Daniel Hunt, Jr the regu
s'lar Wing candidate FIR Member OF Assembly, not
over one third voted for the Wing candidates for
Governor and Lieut. Governor.
Mr. Howe volunteers his certificate that NJ. Seua-
tor Robertson's long and wel-known attachment to
1.-The Wig cause is sufficient guaranty th.t none
other than the regular Wing State ticket found favor
or encouragement from him." We trust this is in
accordance with the fact; but, as there are some
lpaturei suspicious afoat, and as the vote OF Bed
fore has rery ugly look, we will thank Mr.. Robert
GOD to state explicitly through columns whether
he did or did not heartily support and vote for the
State ticte, beaded Myron II. Clark. We make the
same request of Mr. Lemon B. Trip, to whom MI
Howe sent part of the votes; also of Mr.. Howe's
colleagues, Messrs iced, Durrin, Bates and Merritt
respectively. Like Gen. Tay or sending for the Cuba
boodhounds TO hunt Indians in Florida, we have no
desue to worry these gentlemen. but only to ascertain
where they are to be found. There has been gross
treschery somewhere, and if they have acted honor
ably and in good faith they will thank US for afordinS
them an opportunity to show it. I'D.
