Such is GENERALa WM. +. Packers
record IA the Senate Of 1852, and such are
his votes upon the subject Of the prohibi-
Tory liquor law which passed the Senate
thattyear, ms proved by tine journal of the
Senate, whichis the orly authorized record
of proceedings, And yet his .p.rtizln
friends, and the. unplincipled press which
supports lfiA for Governor, are tAean enough
and reckless icnongh, to deny that he is or
ever vas IN favor Of piohibition, and round
liz abuse all who assSrt that he voted for
,prohihitery liquor laws. We say again, we
shave these Seuate Journals in our uince,
and can show them, day, and date. and.

or who desires TO know the whole truth on
this s,snblect. And we @tlIhere remark thas
not onlg did Genll Iacker u.aSe spcechet
