Is held bv Coke and Rutbford In their
Institutes: we hold that our laws and
INSTRUCTIONS are founded ON the cana
biIity Of man for SELF Government:
that rood and evil are placed before
him; and that reward or punishment
is the result Of his choice: whereas on
the contrary, the principle on which
the temperance act is based. is that
these articles are not of themselves an
evil flor they are allowed in the law
for certain nses necessary and benf;.
ciall but that il is in the abuse where.
in the evil consists. and ms man Is IN
capable of using them Alright they
shall be placed so as to prevent him
from obtaining them, unless for these
useful purchases. This shows a want
of confidence in the manhood Of man.
in his oower to regulate his appetites
and desires. il DESTROYS or strikes at
the principal Of SELF government and
sustains the plea of the tyrant when
he claims tba r;obt n command his
subjects what f6ev shall eat and what
