In accordance with the provisions Of a
law passed in April last, vote Of the
people vas taken, at the October election,
On the policy cf prohibiting the manuflc-
,lrc and sale of Intoxicating Eqlorz; l5Ss-
3i2 rytez were cas, in favor of the n@a-
sure, and I63 SO votes against it. Tie
proper regulation Of this So Jet grca''y
concerns the moral welfare Of the people,
and for that reason will claim your anxious
consideration. Perhaps no other morll
question within the range of your authOri-
" - deeply interests the people Of every
class, race and condition. Id ef, the in
moderate use Of Intoxicating drinks Is an
evil thu: has left It's fatal marx IN every
yiciuage It's progress, f.r;uaat.ly3 has
been steadily resisted b. iniiTidrals and
societies, wLo lave employed ;ac power Of
truth and reason a-ains: il. These eE-rts
have done much, AMI mag % more here-
af;e. to mitigate the evil Avoiding a..
ye,atio1s epcIoacdmeuts upon the rights
and privileges Of every citizen, there Is
clearly uo reason Why the influence of I
well designed law, regulating and Restrain
ing the sale Of intoxicating liquors should
no, be brought to the ali Of these inGivi-
dual Efforts. A,;Lo' Tie vote Of The people
would sacm 70 indicate their aysrsion to
the par:icu!a, measure Of reform proposed,
i: is 10. to be inferred, for that reason
they are averse 70 all attempts Of ref].Iua-
ton. Such al inference, l an cous!ent,
would not be true reflection q their sen
tiInen;s. 81 far from this, they acknow-
ledge the existence Of the evil, and the ne
ce>si,y of proper remedies. Oar present
license laws, to this end. nigh; in NJ opt
MON, be usefully reyised-;he object Of
such revision being to lessen the vice ofia-
Temperance. That those laws need suca
revision, is conceded. So far Is ,elaies 70
the city of Philadelphia, they are peeuii-
arly preju1icial to public morals, and seem
to have been constructed to promote the
convenience of drinking, "a: more than to
restrain i,s evil consequences. The o'j-ei
IS worthy Of your early AM deliberate con
siiera;ion.

The interests of Agriculture are ardent

made to disseminate correct information

Science Of Agriculture, with a model farm
