which by possibility. may do him Injury, u
guilty Of precisely this Inconsistency.
One Of tho best evidences OF the hope
lcssness Of the opposition Is, that In no
case do they attempt TO defend dram
selling by direct argument. No one at :
tempts to show that /, Is beneficial to
the living orthe dead--to individuals or
to community. But such evasions and
misrepresentation asthe above are their
only plea. Who ever asked for law
to prevent suicide! If n man wants to
kill himself let him do Il. But that Is a
very different thing from licensing men
to kill him, "with poisonous food or poi
sonous liquor"
The insinuation that law is asked,
or that law has been passed that "de-
nies to the sober citizen the right to
drink in his own domici'' is purely gra-
tuitous, and shows that Mr.. Buell., like
his fellow laborers, is unable to defend
the tipping house system.
To enter. vi eli arms. the house of ones
neigubor, aud pill age from bis Closet bottle
Of brandy, IS the liberal, republican, and
magnanimjus maxim of the liquor law Of
Maine!
We have been accustomed to regard
Mr.. Buell. as nan of at least ordinary
intelligence, but, unless we regard him
as dishonest man, we must abate some
as to his intelligence. Every intelligent
boy in this state knows, or ought to
know, that the Maine Law no more au-
thorizes the search ofprivate residences
than does the law chartering bridge
company. On the other hand such
search is positively prohibited, Unless it
can be proved that liquor is sold there.
But this is as near the truth as can be
expected. 1t is indeed the stereo,yped
objection TO a prohibitory law, and being
forced to falsiiy the law, before an OBJ
lection can be raised against it. shows
that the essential features OF the law are
unobjectionable
Force will be resisted by force; the greal
body Of tbs community believe the right Ia
cal aud drink whatever they may desire, 70
BE- AN inalienable che, of which they cannot
be Invested by any human enactment Let
"prohibtory law" such Us Is described e
US, be passed. and let officers undertake to
put Il Ia force, absolutely, and a spirit Of dis
satisfaction la regard TO our Institutions
would at once be engendered, which would
tina ~, result in reaction altogether unfa.
vorable to the onward march OF temperance
" not IN a storm Of general Indignation very
disastrous to the advance Of morals in thu
country.
The DIRECTORS to prohibitory law are
the most consummate towards in the
land. They have been so long under
the dominion ofliquor sellers, that they
think every body else is, and when they
can not frighten men by threats o
searching houses, pumping stomachs
cutting down orchards and such hobgob
Inns, they just end the controversy BY
saying you never can enforce the law.
Tut! The law has been enforced in
seven states, and we know Of but one at.
tempt to resist it by force, and that was
signal failure. Try again, Mr.. Buell.
We want the liquor sellers to have the
benefit Of your talents and your posi-
ton, but we expect to succeed notwith-
sta ndinr.
