The Old Liners have hoped, and some anti
Nebraska men have feared. that the opponents
OF Slavery prep agandism in the New England
States and in some of the Western States
would insist upon such ultra anti slavery
ground that there could be no union in the
Presidential contest next year. We think the
hopes Of the one and the fears of the other
the North will be as liberal as anti slavery men
out Of the order. there will be no obstacle in

paper of decided ability published in Massa-

that as we'll as all other congressional legisla
ton on the subject unconstitutional They
desire to abolish slavery in the District Of Co
lumbia and everywhere under the national ju
risdiction. They regard these as vitsl meas
ures. But they do not demand their incor-
porstion into the creed Of Free State move
ment because they know there are weaker
brethren who cannot yet accept them. They
believe that if the North will stand up long
enough to regain one single lost right and ef-
fectuallv resist slavery extension, the whole
field will be won. The liberation which they
cordially extended 10 others, they demand for
themselves. All they ask j. that all other
questions should be postponed 10 the grsnder

that issue and that alone in the next Presiden-

unbroken phalanx and the domination of the

This is the issue which the abolition Of free

PROHIBITION Law DONE FORA writer in
the last Jeffersonian signing himself 'Philom.
(whose rerdaney is truly refreshing.) labors
to render the Prohibition Law unpopular with
the people. by raising the cry of TAxArIos
This is trick often resor,ed to by third rate
demagogues. when they possess neither hon
esty or brains enough TO advance any other
argument. but it seldom produces the effect
desired, in an intelligent community.
This astute writer bases his whole argu-
ment on palpabe misrepresentation Of the
law, and then follows it up with a false state
ment in order to make out even the semblance
of case. He SAYS:
"we have ss5 townships in the state AMI hence a,.'
have 1876 groceries. suppose that $500 will fun Sd
grocery With the necessary Of liqGorsthi
low estimate then furnish the who'll wall require
200 dollars The tale = but half tod YET must
have Agent for each shop, whose services Will cost
s--o,to0 making the enormous sum Of Soo5oo 70 Dc
rat.ed By taention"'
Now, if the writer had ever once looked AT
the law be would have discovered that 1t
does not require the appointment of two
Agents to every township; it only permits
that number to be appointed if the County
Commissioners think they are necessary. but
they have not thus far appointed TO exceed
one for every three townships; nor will they
probably ever appoint more than one to each
township. The assumption that it will re-
quire Jus. $500 for each agency. no matter
where situated and that the agents must in
variably be paid just $3.50 per annum no
matter what amount may be sold, is simply
ridiculous, and needs no farther notice.
But the writer not content with these po,o-
ertui appeals TO the peoples pockets. must
needs add the following cl:ncher:
The profits on worth Of liquors will only
be s93 only about re-third enough to pay the
Agents. This will be profitable business fer the tax
payers of the State.
Just Sl8, 100 TO be met by taxation tits
truly startling bill to be footed up by the
unsuspecting people, There is some conso-
laton in the fact that the fine crops this
US examine the matter little. The writer
assumes that only 5000 worth Of liquors will
be sold at each agency. when it is quite certain
that at least twenty times that amount will be
sold at some of them. and should there be
but one agent appointed to a township. there
will not be a single one who would not will
lingly take the profits Of his sales for his SER
vices. Indeed, we venture the assertion that
it will be a source of income rather than loss
to the people; but even should it cost them a
trifle, the benefits TO accrue from the abolition
Of intemperance. poverty and crime caused
by the numerous drinking houses which have
lately disappeared as by magic from our midst
will present a larger balance in our favor than
can be estimated by dollars and cents.
