The National Known 0thing papers in the
North echo the stupid cry of their National

of Slavery is to let italone." Yet they know
full well that it is impossible to let it alone.
They know full well that when they say let it
alone, they mean: Let it have its own way.

" the Nominations of the Slave Oligarchy; wear

ON THE BENCH AND OFF.

IL is an old saying that circumstances alter
cases and this was never more strikngly Illus
trated than in al opinion against the Prohibitory
Law recently published by the Hon. Samuel
Beardsley. This opinion, as its author informs
us, was given on q professional retainer, and
however it may be opposed TO bis Judgment Ut
tered under other circumstances II certainly
does credit to his present distinction as an in
gcpious counsel.
We published letter the other day contain
ing the Judgment of the Supreme Court of this
State in the ease OF The People rs. To,cnsey, Mr..
Beardsley being then member Of that Court
and We believe at the time its Chief Justice.
This Judgment was delivered by Mr.. Justice
Whittelsey, but Mr. Beardsley must have fully
concurred in it. The discrepancy between the
opinions of the then Chief Justice and present
Counsellor illustrates the wonderful difference Of
impression which even q strong mind may re-
ceiye from the presentation of the same state Of
facts OF the same line Of argument when adj
dressed to it at different times under different
circumstances.
In the opinion of the Court to which we refer
tie following sentiment will be found:
1T seems 70 me that this j. precisely nearly the
resuli OF which the Legislature intended to arrive by
tie passage Of the act statute of las enabling towns
10 vote on the question Of license or license) and
fearing that tty the LEGISLATURE had not indicated
such intention with sufficient c'eqraess they inserted
the fifth section Of the act 70 make sch inteHt0R more
0PDareni.
The Court is here making an argument TO
show that the Legislature intended by certain
enactments in the law Of 1886 TO enable the
electors ofthis State TO abolish the power 10
grant licenses to retail Intoxicating drinks in
their respective towns, and at the same time 10
retain in full force and effect the penal sections
of the Revised Statutes. With the view to
give effect TO that apparent intention, the Court
adiudred that the fifth section of that act "is
.sbut more explicit declaration of what was
made reasonably certain By other provisions
contained in the same law. SO sacred Did the
Court on that occasion consider the dRty de-
yolyed on il to realize the intention of The Leg.
islature and to give effect to all the sections and
clauses of the act of l-45, that it construed the
fifth section to be only explanator: Of the third,
and in consequence of that decision poor
Townsey was punished.
