Such ara the first three sections of this
beautiful liquor law in full, and the sub
stance of the fourth and fifth; aud We doabt
not they are more than sufficient to satisfy
alt that d more ultra, radical, out aud out
rFnhibitorv law wa4 never passed IN the
State Of Maine or anywhere else. 1t not
only probi6itsstlie sale, nnler severe penal
ties, Of ali sorts of liquors, ands BY every
quantity great or smaI /, except .tffors sacra-
mental, medicinal, inechanica(, and artist
cal purposes, but it absolutely prohibits
the manufacture Of ans and all liquors, ex-
cept for The purposes just mentioned. If
this be not prohibition with vengeance, we
know not what woull be-, 4 subsequent
section ass,aa tho right Of eoarch aud the
right to s:ez4 and destroy the liquors kept
contrary to theact; AMI in short, the law
seems to eentan ia itselfall the ultraisriro
this subject that ,were ever helrd Of, and
! some Others which strike us as eaiirely new
AID original, especially that registry which
is TO be 'Fsi-net! at the end therof' By the
man who purchases tie allquor, stating for
wtet purpose he goiS if.
We have now given our readers a true
and full explanation of Gepl Packers views,
votes, and position prohibitory liquor
law man: and We will await with pleasure
such explanations as hs pariizon friends
may manufacture for this desperate ener
