Of melting violence and bloodshed, strikinsy
dimipisbes crime of all kinds, but especially
crimes of violence. For the last three months
the Liquor Traffic has for the first time been oa'-
lawed in Connecticut, yet that State was never
more tranquil, more law-aHding, more exempt
from violence and crime, than during these months.
Who believes that it will be otherwise here
How can there be more violence, crime and muir
der under Prohbtory Law than under the pre-
sent Rum licensing system
The case lies in nutshell: All do know that
it would be better for all that the Rum Traffic
should be abolished, but the Liquor men vainly
imagine that their special pecuniary interest is
promoted by keeping the business going asatpres-
ent and they are pouring out their money to buy
verdict contrary to the Popular Conviction, to
Justice, Morality and the Public Good. Can they
buy IT. Shall the money they have wrung with
out equivalent from the debauched and infatuated
enable them by its lavish expenditure to pro-
tract if not perpetuate the evil and crime Of
which their Traffic is the source Answer at
the Polls

We knOro to be capable and worthy so thoroughly

against Rum and Rowdyism in Brooklyn when to

found to be pure gold. He is a worker has spent
almost his whole life in Brooklyn, though he was
born in this City, and understands the duties of
the Msyoraliy better than almost any other man
can. His election will cause an immediate
migration of scoundrels and ruffians from Brook
Ign to parts unknown. E. ID. CULVER is man
of the same stamp, and has labored effectively in
the Temperance cause for many years His cleo

BEWARE OF TREACHERY,

There are probably few Election Districts in
which Rum and Know NOthingism have taken
away those who would naturally be relied on to
procure and distribute the regular Wing ticket.
The friends of CLARK and RAYMOND must every
where be prepared for this detection, and ready
to obviate its natural effects.
Reader! do you know that the right bsllots for
your ewn Election District are already in good
bands, and will be on the ground when the poll
opens IfyOu don't kno,o this, let not this days
sun go down on your ignorance, but see where
the ballots are to be had, and who will be hand
ing them out at the poll when 1t opens. Now is
the time to guard against surprises and disasters.

CONsIDER!
Congress

Nobody fears, nor pretends to fear, that there
will be too little liquor drank in case the Trai
is Outlawed. On the contrary, the Rum party
insist that more will be drank than is at present.
Nobody fears, nor seriously pretends to fear,
that Liquor cannot be had under Prohibitory
Law whenever it shall be really needed On the
contrary, the Law makes express provision for
agents to sell Liquor in all cases where there is
genuine need of it.
Nobody really fears that any quiet, private
dwelling will ever be broken into by off ,ers or
others in search of contraband Liquor though
lying harangues and hsndbills continually assert
the contrary. The Law of Prohibition has now
been in force three years in Maine, yet to this
hour there is no single instance Of even pre-
tended violation of the sacredness of the domicil
by virtue Of any process issued under it by friends
of Prohibition. Here are more people than this
City contains, who have lived for three years
under Prohibitory Law, with all the provisions
for search sDd seizure embodied in our pro-
posed act, yet 10 one of them has ever been az
noyed by yexatiOGs prosecution and search, un-
lees il were solitary prosecution SET on foot by
Rummy sgsinst Temperance man, to crafty
& personal spite. Even of such prosecutions,
We have hesrd nothing for eighteen months past.
In fact, the danger lies entirely the other way
that prosecutions and searches will be forbOrne
when they should be undertaken, aud NOT that
they will be attempted where they should be for
borne. Yet the bugaboo clamor against this ex-
ecrated Right of Search-whieh is just such as
our laws now provide for in cases of suspected
CONTRIBUTING, gambling, &c.-is about all the
capital now left to the partisans of Seymour aud
Bronson.
No man really believes that riot or bloodshed
would result from the passage and enforcement of
Law Of Prohibition. On the contrary, we have
abundant testimony, in the experience Of six of
our sister States, together containing nearly Three
Millions of inhabitants, that Prohibition, instead

WOOD Is 1871.

On the 9TH of November, 1851, the Grand Jury
of this City and County found bill of indictment
against Fernando Wood, now candidate for
Mayor, for alleged fraudulent transactions grow
ing out of the business of partnership between
him and Edward E. MArvine. These alleged
frauds were of serious nature, and very nu.
merous, embracing forged bill of sale, forgedlst
tiers and papers, and forged or altered bills of ac
count. relating to the partnership. civil suit
founded on the same transactions, was pending and
still depending, before referees, in which the test

it as soon as we can conveniently. But the inaict
ment was sumnsrly disposed of by the then Re-

The very fact of pleading the Statute OF Llmisa-

ably. An honest man, having done no act OF 8
criminal nature, would not be likely TO make
such plea But that such plea was set up in
behalf of Mr.. Wood, and sustained by the Re-
corder is beyond doubt. The case is summsrily
reported in The N,r- York Legal Obserrer, Vol.
X, for 1852, Up. 6l-63, to which periodical We
refer oil who feel an interest in the matter. We
are assured that a check of 500, drawn By Mr..

G.. II. ANDREWs-T. n. WHITNEY.

One year ago, Thomas r. Whitnty, the Editor
of Sunday paper of very moderate force and no
political character, became candidate for the
State Senate, and, through the secretly exercised
power of the Order of United Ameri ,ans, to
which be belongs. secured the Wing nomination,
and thus the election. He was very little known
to the Wing voters, and was elected without
much inquiry or consideration. He has, there
fore, served one year in the Senate, where he has
distins uished himself only by the itteness as well
as bieotIy Of bis Nativism.
Elated by bis success, he this year aspired
to a seat in Congress, and, by the aid Of the
Know Nothing machinery, almost, but not
quite, secured the Wing nomination. GEORGE
II. ANDREWS, of WILLIAMSBURG, was preferred.
Now Mr.. Thomas R. Whitney, holdingOne good
Office a, the hands of the Wing party, is bolt
ing candidate for another, and doing bis utmost
to defeat the regular Wing candidate. More than
this-he is doing his best to defeat the Wing State
ticket. by drawing off votes upon UlImann, Scrog-
gins & Co.
Is this honorable Is it decent He is the
candidate of the I" Know .Nothings," and has prob
ably right to their support. But he is not the
Whig candidate, and has no claim tos single Wing
vote. On the contrary, he is lending what little
power and influence be may have to de- feat the Wing
candidate for Congress and the Wing State ticket.
He calls on Wings to support him as the Wing
candidate, while he is nightly plotting in his Sc
cret cabal to PROSTATE the Wing party and defeat
its candidates from Governor down Is not this
beyond endurance
Electors of the With District who love open,
manly dealing and fair play do not fail to vote,
and ask your friends to vote, for GEORGE II. An
DREws for Congress!
