Scamman, Nathan Noble, L. T. Mason, and
all others who entertain tho opinion that the

stringent, besides being unconstitutional
Our reporter has not had time 10 write ont
fully the speeches made, but no promises
them next week, but IN the meantime. as

ourselves arc believers in tho doctrine that
when party men address. public meetings,
tie public have right 10 their views be-
fore they gel cold, we will give our readers
some little idea Of the ideas which were
expressed. VIM. P. Haines, Esq, did
the greatest amount OF spscchmaking, pitch.
ing into the Maine Law, Wells aud Cary

Il was no more harm to sell the (" cril,er Z"

in large. by the hogshead, and in this con-
nec,ion he hit some Of the Temperance men

Mr.. II. thinks il ought to DO continued.
Mr.. Haincs said he never kcpl.a Rum Shop

Mr.. II. said the PcppcrilI company paid a

one way Of explaining this and some other
remark made by Mr.. Haines. and |, !, THU
