The first OF which is as follows:
Are you in favor of a law prohibiting the sale
OF intoxicating liquors as beverage?"
The secOnd-"Will you if elected, recommend
to the Legislature the passage of such law at an
early period in the session."

pointed delegates to the State Temperance COnven-
ton which was sit the 29d Of February, is to BE-
taken as a correct Interpretation Of the first inter
rogatory which you have propounded to me, and
is as follows:
g Resolved That as friends Of temperance reform
and of the community in which we reside, we
pledge ourselves to vote for 10 man, for either
branch of the Legislature, who does not advocate
and support the principles Of the Maine Lar; in
other words, law prohibiting the manufacture of,
aud traffic in alcoholic liquors. with the necessary
provisions and penalties tor the enforcement OF the
same and the enactment Of such a law at an early
day of the next Legislature of Tennessee:

a word about the Temperance Issus.-Americans
Look Out


The attempt recently made to connect the
name of Philip s. White and the Temper
apce issue with that Of Col. Gentry and the
American cause, to the prejudice OF the latter,
suggests a timely toarning to our American
friends to be on their guard against any and
every effort that may be made to prejudice or
misrepresent our candidate and his cause on
this question. 1t may be, for aught we know,
that in certain localities, where it shall be
deemed available, the effort will be made i'm
mediately preceding or on the day of the cleo
ton, to produce the impression that Col. Gen
try is in favor of prohibtory liquor law,
such as the Maine law, or something similar.
Such charge would in fact be most unjust
and unfounded, but not whit more so than
some allegations that have already been boldly
put forth by our opponents during the present
canvass. AS the best means of refuting that
or any kindred Misrepresentation, VIII be
reference to his letter to the Temperance Com
mittee, we here repablish that letter, and we
advise every member of the American party
to cut it out and preserve it for reference in
case of emergency, from this till after the
election: While it contains frank and manly
declaration of a conservative and Republican
position on the Temperance question, in favor
of what is known as the District Ian, it is
seen that such law as that he here suggests,
is very essentially different thing from the
A1iDs law. Here is the letter. Read and
preserve it:

A story is going the rounds of the papers of a mer-
chant in New York who, when first married, told
his wife, that for every ''scion she produced he
would place at her disposal So, 900. After lapse Of
years he failed, and upon informing his wife o:
his endorsements she quickly placed in his hands
bonds to the amount of $4,000, as the products
of her industry, remarking at thesame time: You
see, Charles, that have not been idle, and if you
had been half as industrious as your brother over
the way, l should now have 100000.

STANDING CoNMTTTEEs.-As an evidence of
the dreadful strait to which our opponents are
driven, we are credibly informed that they
have committees appointed in many of the
counties, cities and town in the State, whose
business it is to hunt up persons who have
joined the American party, from the anks of
the old democratic party, that was, and at
tempt to draw them back to the support of
Jacobs Ladderisn. What deeper insult could
be offered to an intelligent man than such q
movement. Where is the boosted liberty of
thought, Of which our opponents prate so
much, while they are practicing such base pur-
poses as these2 What man of independence
and self will would tolerate such an INSULT
We predict, though they may succeed in some
few instances, that even this last resort of a
disconnected party will prove abortive.

UTOur readers, we presume, do not need to be
told who Lucy Stone is; and that she has recent
" been married TO a Mr.. Blackwell, will mol be
news to many. We do not rscur to the matter
with the iden that getting married is in any wise
aVerse TO woman S rights or inconsistent with Miss
Lncy's professions aud P:oclnmations; We do not
think so, bnt consider that it depends entirely on
the results Of the union whether any rights have
been invaded or sacrificed. Lucy however seem.
to think otherwise, as she and the man with whom
she lives have united in solemn protest against
the laws and customs of society in connection with
marriage, aud a proclamation Of their intention
10 maintain their separate interests and sepa rate
IDENTIFIES in the new relations they have assumed
We don't think so much of Miss Lucy as we did
before the uttefance of this protest. When cou,
pie feel it necessary to make such a proclamation
ii is TO us significant that they never should have
been united and moreover that their union will be-
Of but short duration.
