This question of the PsaImist might with
much propricty DO put 10 many protesting
christians in our State to-day. How any man
protesting the divine preccpts Of our holy re-
lgion could have fellowship with the iuiquity
OF party politics, especially when that party
unblnshngly hoasted that il they got the power
they would frame mischief hy the cnacting
Of the license law, is q question leave them
to determine
II ever mischief was framed 10y a ltw, The
late Legislature Of Delaware can lay claim to
that honor. These legislators. If they have
any souls above that Of snrdid party, must feel
ever they go abroad. They came into power
with the prohibitory law on til" statute book,
not fully enforced / grant, but it was The lar,
and as snch had its restraining elect. order
and decency every where prevailed; rimo was
lessened, and individual prosperity and family
happiness increased to an extent never before
Witnessed in our borders. The wife Of the
poor inebriate looked mp to The prollibitory
law as n talisman which should shield her trem
her former unhappy condition. The dranhard
hailed il as his delivcrcr from the wugst Of bon
dage. Tho parent as he lay down on lis can
and quiet bed Of death, thanked tho Gircr Of
every good and perfect gilt that under this
law, the temptation was renewed. and the dan
ger lessened that his child should die drunk
ard.
How stands the case in DcliwarR To-day, after
three months of the licen4' h,wl Crime is
running rife through the state, 'rw" trials for
murder at the last court lgEtinlately the re
suit OF the rum traffic. Drinking houses multi
piled to an extent never before Witnessed.
Peace and quiet baniShcd from among tis. The
streets filled even on the holy Sabbath with
drunken meu and boys, yelling rs i. PandimO
MUM had broken loose among us. .-.
No security for lie or prNpcrty--all j, sub
ui.trd to the rrcklcssucES Of disotdur and
drunken insanity this is the state Of things
under that h, tier law which tn" Cditor 1.-THE
| Gazette was wont To mdku his readers believe
| would result from Tue ltBlSMtlpH W ItNllNSs
| politicians Tor purh party purposes. This Is
the condition Of things brought about by the
! all Of piouS cllss-lclders who mOch heaven by
their petitions Thy kingdom come, Thy viii
I've done on earth, !" wi lie Tor the sake Of filthy
lucra. they deny their master, and vote for The
establishment of the DEVILS kingdom. If there
be one corner OF hell more tOrmenting thar
aUOtller, surely il is in reserve for such hypO
critics. And tho world is iull OF them, yea
| hnp hnl nd (,
the infamous voting of these miserable hypo
critics, who arc ready to say, " The Lord ahaI
not see, neither sh I'll the 6 ID of JACOB reElr,
it," To all such, we say in the words OF tn
Paulniist, {. Ye fools, wnen will we DO wise
lie that planned the ear shall he not hear! IL
that formed the eye, SHAH he not see r.
We ask the sober, rejecting portion Of com
munity TO look at these things and take tmel
, measures for eradicatins them from amongs
us before il is too late. Let tho friends q
temperance rally and light again the battles u
l virtue and lbeIty--mu;G grand rllly Tor I'll
next Legislature, and repeal This lnihmOu
anti-democrItic license law, and again .l,lOf
