The GovEREoR OF. MAINS ON THE LIQUOR
LAw,--Governor Wells in his Message TO The
Maine Legislature, says OF the liquor Law,
which was ths great question upon which
the September election turned, that, with The
light of experience, a new law may be form.
ed, which will meet the wants OF the com.
munity. The sale Of liquors, he admits,
should be restrained, bui only as far as is
consistent with the rights of the citizens:--
"Whether person will or will not use in
loxicaiing liquors as beverage, is a ques-
lion TOT his own determination. One may
persuade another as TO what he shall do 10
relation 20 himself in morals or religion, but
coercion in respect 10 such action is perse-
cution. II is founded in tho sentiment that
one knows what IS better for his neighbor
than The neighbof knows for himself, and O
unity OF will :nust be made by compnlsion- :
An attempt OF this kind is at war with the
very elements or civil libsfiy. The wants
OF the community will be satisied with a
very restricted sale, by granting licences in
each city, town aud plantation, TO no more
sellers ihan will conveniently accommodate
the purchasers. II Is a desirable object TO
place tho waffic in The hands OF respectable
citizens. InRholders furnishing liquors 10
TO their gnests aud travellers alone, would
stand in the same situation as the heads oi
| families. Importers under the laws Of the
United States shonld be allowed to sell In the
original packages. And there are some clas.
Sos Of persons 10 whom sales should be yrol
hibiteJ, those whose habits show them uhf.
to be trusted with wha. they are sure TO use
improperly.
The public good requires that no ihtoxica
ting liquors should be allowed to be drank
in the shops where they are sold. Such prac
tices lead 70 breaches of the peace aud oihe
conduc. injurious TO society. II does not ac.
cord with wise and consistent laws to for5it
the manufacture of an article which is per.
mitied to be sold No doubt the Legislature
will enact lew, with suitable penalties, thai
will fecisys the appreciation of the people and
will accomplish althat legislation can be ex
pected to do in promoting the cause of,em.

Although many we'll meaning persons have
approved Of The existing law on this subject
believing ii to be the best insirumeniality tc

animation and understanding of it, and tha
