DAVID q. MONTGOMERY AND THE MAINE
LIQUOR LAW.

II appears that Mr. Montgomery and
some OF his friends are displeased with the
remarks OF some of our correspondents,
made a few weeks since, charging him
with having voted on both sides OF the
Maine liquor law question. We have
since had the curiosity TO look into the
matter more fully and tind that although
he voted against the bill on its first intro
dnction into the House, he did give it his
most unqualified support when the second
bill came before the HOUSE, on the 22d
March last. He not only voted for the
bill, but voted with The friends of the
measure TO call .he previous question, so as
cut of all debate, as will be seen by refer
ring 10 page 2l0 of the Daily legislative
| Record.
On the final passage OF the bill, the yeas
and nays, as given on the same page, show
that M. Montgomery roted for TIE bill, as
follows -
