This body convened on the gath Of
May, and adopted platform certainly
novel for that party, in this age OF the
world. They have embodied in their
platform the following rhisky plank,
which boldly proclaims them the
enemies Of prohibition. 1t reads
thus:
Resolved, That intemperance is a
great moral and social evil, for the
Restraint aud correction Of which leg.
islative interposition Is necessary and
proper; but that we cannot approve
Of any plan for the eradication or cor
rection Of this evil, that must neces-
sar;lv result in the infection of greater
ones: and that we are therefore op-
posed to any law upon this subject
that will authorize the searching for
or seizure, confscation and destruc-
ton Of private property"
Then they think Legislation may
legitimately throw some mild restraints
around the liquor traffic. but must not
presume to enact any law that would
prove destructive to SO darling an item
Of private property This is mere
bubble. fiimsy as it is contemplate,
and designed to betray the real friends
of the cause. But we rejoice to see
that they are meeting a just rebuke
from the best and wisest men III the

What are those alarming evils,
which must result from the passage ol
law similar to that in Maine and sew
eral other States? They have carried
the law into successful operation. and
bear universal testimony as TO its good
effects. but have realized none OF those
monstrous evils which seem to exist in
the distempered imagination OF our
democratic friends. The only serious
evil they intimate, is, thata little 'pri-
vate property"--a few barrels Of rum
may be destroyed. This is OF infin'
tely more importance, in their estima-
ton, than all the tears and blood
