record in the Senate Of 1852, and such are
his votes upon the subject Of the prohbl-
torv lidunr which passed the Senate
that year, as proved bg the journal of tue
Senate, which is the only authorized record
of proeeedines. Aud yet his ptrtzan
friends, and thc unpIipciped press which
supports him for Governor, are mean enough
and reckless enongh, to deny that he IS or
ever was III favor OF prohibition, aud roand-
1 ly abuse all who asssrt that he voted for
prohiiitory liquor laws. We say again
have these Seuate Journals in, our once,
aud can show them, day, and date, and
page, to any man who wishes to see them;
Or who desires 10 know the whole truth on
this subject. And we will here remark that
not oulv did Gem. Packer Lake speeches
/ in the Senate in favor of the bill, and vote
as here proved, but according to the we'll
remembered logic OF the Bedford Gazette,
1 he irdus the c4Sting rote on the fhat passage
of this ntoHStrduS .uqilac liquor Laao.
! For on locking al the final vote, It will be
observed the bill passed by Il yeas TO 10
nays. Consequently il GenT. Packer had
voted nay, the bill would have been defeat
ed on its fnal passage, bya tie vote, and
evidently his vote for the bill was what sa-
we'd it. s
! But the same recklessnass and disregard
/ of the truth WHICH has heretofore denied
that Packer MAS a prohibtionist. may also
/ deny that the bin which passed the Senate
I in 1852 was prohibitory Maine Law.
+ Tae biil was inlade up Of fifteen sections,
aud is therefore too long fer publication
entire, bat in order that all doubts may be
removed on this point, and all mouths stop,
i ped, we will give our readers some extracts
