The Indiana Free Democrat, Of tue lstinst
says:
We understand the Supreme Court Of this
State, now in session, in this city, made de-
clsion, on Tuesday last, declaring the present
liquor law OF this State unconstitutional, on
tine ground of its being an act of special leg
islation. The effect OF this decision, we pre-
sumo, will be to cause all fines heretofore i'm
posed for the violations of the present law to
be remi,tcd, and it allows anybody and eve
rybody to engage in selling liquor in future
without let or hindrance. This decision may
be sound law, but the heart stands appalled,
in contemplation Of the food of intemperance
that is 10 be let looss upon our ute Tor the
next year, by its opperation. Tho result Of
tthis law shows the folly and uselessncss Of
halfway legislation; and we hope the people
may be aroused. in view Of It's Importance, to
go in for something stronger and more eff
clcni. that shall extirpapte the internal traffic,

and we are very much mistaken if this is not
10 be the leading issue of our next State elec
tioD. Things have been tending that way for
some time past; and this decision will, no
doubt, hasten that "consumaion so devoutly
TO be wished" Let the friends of temperance
