era. The Cincinnati Gazette and sew.
cral other papers come out in favor Of
closing all the grog shops, on the day
Of the election. The Gazette says

to them. If there is any heart siekn-
ipg scene, it is--a full grown man, stag
gering to the polls, to exercise the
dearest right of a Republican citizen.

of tho United States to the day that
