THE LIQUOR SELLERS BOND.

Kind readors, have you ever thought why il
is that the liquor seller is required by law to
give bond and security for Tho prosecutinn oi
his business. The mechanic, the mannfactur.
or. the farmer, the merchant the lawyer, the
physician, all engage in aud prosecute their
business without giving eth, bond or securi.
ty. But the Liquor seller in the eyes of the
law cannot thus be trusted. The lay comes
to him and says: :Sir your business is dan
gerous one, ruinous effects flow from II, wretch
edness want and vice are its legitimate results
and therefore you are required to give bond
and security" Nooiher business man is look
cd on with So much suspicion none other hound
up Under such penalties; none other required
to give bond for keeping an orderly house
fit IS a good and reputable business. if good
results flow from it, if it is a nursery If virtue
and purity, if it inspires the youth of our land
with exalted principles and noble aspirations.
If il breathes an ardent md glorious PATRIOTISM
into the hearts OF men, if il instills into the
mind grand and elevated principles, why en-
cumber it with bonds. securities and penalties? ?
Why thus check its freedom? II is regarded
as fountain Of unmingled. unm,igared evil,
whose broad and sweeping streams are bur-
dehed with ten thousand hnmar victims.

The Germans in all parts OF The country,

conspicuously hostile TO the Nebrasks ewindle
This hostility is perfectly natural and proper;
because their coun,rymen. In greater numbers

and Territories Immediately on their arrival in
this country. They are therefore deeply intor-
osted in the character of the institutions to be
established in chose States and Territories.-
II was knowledge of this fact, and to guard
against their anti slavery proclivities, which
induced the Senat 10 adopt the amendment tn

from holding Office or voting in the new Terri

The object of this is to discourage German
and Irish emigrants from coming to settle in
Nebraska. In the meantime the Shareholders
from Arkansas and Missouri will go there in
