We've pitched our tents on campaign ground,

1t is a common supposition that the sntire
and whole responsibility rests upon the drunk
ard--that he, knowing the sinfulness of his
crime and the misery he brings upon himself
and family. still he continues in his intemper-
ate and debasing career. There is undoiibted-
edly a fearful responsibility resting upon the
consumer. But it rests not on him alone
The liquor-seller has large share of the res
sponsibility. The man who stands behind his
bar and deals out rum and ruin, must share
largely in the guilt of the traffic. q Wo unto
himthat giseth his neighbor drink, that potteth
the bottle to him, andmaketh him drunk,'' &c.
Again. many suppose the responsibility rests
upon the Legislature. It is true, many lend
themselves, soul and body, to. the rum power

sponsible, in a great degree, for all the evil
growing out of improper laws. If you or
cast our vote for a. man who viii support and

sible for the evil growing out oft. And in my
opinion the burden of guilt pre-eminently rests
upon each Individual voter. This being the
