A LIcGSsE LAW, -Tho Reader will bear in mind
and remind all his neighbour rs that tho Dsm9eya,
tie Party Of Deaicdreha resoiVsd to license grog-
geries agaiH ,hatpary admits that intemperance
is a great and crying evil THAT drunkenness is
high crime against the dignity and pence of the
State that the liquor traffic is eyil-:hat it Is tho
imme diats, great producing cause Of intempeance
and drunkonnsss-aud II admits, that no man
with decent self respect denythat the liquor traffic
oughtto DO strictly restrained as an eUii by the law
Of the State. The Delaware Gazette has said, and
INV man hn will rand and undAraland
the law for the suppression Of nemperance will see,
that ii o'ty restrn ms The sale Of Intoxicating
qaOys eVik -notwi ihstanding all this the Dem
oeratic Convection at Dover resolved to repeal the
law, and re.Iicense the grOgshops. Now We ask you
-virtuous reader-bow is this why is this Is
It not to conoiliate the political power of Rum, and
to secure the Rum vote l-vote for US and we will
restOre to you your Grocsh hops and tippng houses.
Christian reader, you know that the liquor vote
Of all parties will be vsy generally cast at the shrne
OF the Democratic oVertui e2--yes you knew III But
will tho christina, will the solid, good man, lend
himself TO such msye to bring about such sad and
injurious results 2 We must walt and hope that tao
vote tho legislative ticket on the 4ih Of November
will proclaim that the "virtuous impulse is the vic
tor. Here lies fear, that the christian and ten
perance citizens will not be SO true aud faithful T.
temperance the liquor vote will be to rum Liquo
men win foIegO the claims Of party to support run
much more promptly and decidedly, than christian
and virtuous men will to support virtue, we meal
as a genera thing; yet there many noble exoee
tons. Such Ia still the fell prepondsrance of vic,
/ over human nature that virtue has fearful conaic
aud often fails in the struggle dod grant that ou
hopes In this case may not be disappointed. For tn,
reasons assigned in edtorialo OF Thursluy last
again call on the friends of order, morality aud re
/ gon to vote the American Legislative ticket on thu
4th OF Nov next. That is the reliable temperance
ticket in the present crisis ndepe ndently of poticA
party. The temperance men OF all parties, and o
no party ratfy and espouse il as the ticket Of the
| temperance cause. II you are Democrat, Iemem.
Der it will be very small sacrifice of party pred
lection at the shrine Of the highest moral md reli
glous interest ever presented 10 your support In
everything else vote for your party, in this vote for
God and your fellow.men. 1 -..-"
Aiter all we have snid, or all that we could say,
our friends must allow us to say. that we have NO
idea that tho temperance sentiment Of the State can
be fully brought out at Tie approuctIAg election
No in tho State truly believe that the friends
Of the temperance law will all vote for legislative
candidates who wall sustain it, without respect to
party. No. hundreds OF temperance men, friends
Of the law, will vote for those who are solemnIy
bound tie repeal II and relicense the grogshups onr
knowledge Of human nature, the power OF party
conflict and victory the national question and int,
rest involved The officers to be elected, National
and State and the patronage to be bestowed and
Delaware Is u Southern and slave state, and
her citizens have always feared the rising spirit
OF ultra aboltionism These consid CREATIONS induce
US To believe that the interests Of temperance never
could have fallen on less propitiuus times, Many
Vsters in such circumstances will not and dis
crminate. And yet ull the interest Of the dountry
and the State may be supported on strictly parry
grounds and the interest OF temperance secured by
simply voting State LsgiskatRre favorable to hi,
great cause Will you do IL
