though ships are to be scarce and freights high

THE ABOLITION LEAGUE At SYRACUsE-THE
MAINE LAW REPUDTATED BY IT'S VERY APOSTLES.
One of the not least curious and remarkable
facts in the history Of the abolition league in
augurated in Syracuse on Thursday was the
reputation Of the Maine Liquor law by Gree
ley, Culver, Jay, Leigh, and the other temper
ancc apostles and philosophers. Mr.. Stebbins
Of Monroe county, having presented minori-
ty report from the Committee on Platform,
pledging the convention to resist the efforts of
the opponents Of the Maine law Horace Gree
Icy moved to lay such resolution on the table.
On this motion the yeas and nays We're called,
and in the list of those who voted to lay Mr.
Stebbins' resolution on the table are founl
the names of Horace Greeley, E. d. Culver,
John Jay, G. C. Leigh, and host of Others
who have been prominent in the temperance
agitation. If this fact does not open the eyes
If Maine law men to the perception that they
have been all along made the SHALLOW dupes
political tricksters, why then their stupidity is
more chronic and incurable than We could have
even supposed 1T to be.
We we're obliged, in consequence Of the tre-
mendous pressure upon our columns yesterday,
10 withhold cur detailed report OF the pro.
ceedings which preceded and followed the in
auguration of this abolition league. We shall,
!. owever though at much inconvenience, make
room for it tomorrow, As well because 1t is of
inte. rest at the present mo uent, as that rcka-
lie historical record of the event may be pre-
served
