Some time during last spring in view of the sad
havoc which the habit of intemperance was max
ing among our youth, the good people of our city
sought TO check, if possible, the rapidly increasing
evil. To this end they formed themselves into
voluntary association, called IL Carson League
the specific object of which was, the enforcement
OF the Liquor Law, passol May |, 1851, by DEM
ocralc legislature .
This effort Of or ciliz2ns 10 preserve and rescue
our SONS from the ignoniny of a drunkards life
and grave, was hought by him whose name heads
this article to jeoplrlize the success oil the dem.
ocraiic ticket in the then impending spring election.
Hence the evening before election, be called to-
geher the degraded victims OF Ntemp-rancc found
III the various cass-pools of vice and pollution
scattered throughout our city and addressed them
upon the attempt making by the members Of the
Carson League, TO rob them Of their "Constitu-
tonul Rights" What constitutional Right None
other than the right 10 manufacture themselves
and Others into loathsome drunkaardS
And to mark his devotion to that right he Of
ered the following resolution: Resolved, that
the Democratic Party Is opposed to the Carson
League" and under the influence of his spirit
stirring eloquence it was adopted not only unani-
mousIy, but with pAreuzicd scream OF delight
Why was this done? Why this base pandering
in the detes,abc spirit of the low demagogue to
the vitated appetites of these unfortunate be-gs
1t is patent to ali men that it was done to secure
their votes to the mis-called democratic ticket
\ lower descent into the guttcr-an act Of more
perfect aud revolving iniquly was never witnessed
Not only was it humiliating, but most intensely
disgusting. Even the poor victims of his cold
hearcssnes5 must, in their lucid Intervals, utterly
dcspsc, nay execrate him for his ready willingness
to drag them and their children down to utter
ruin, that thereby he might or may be elevated 10
place and power. Deliberately did he appeal to
the worst AMI lowest passions Of the ignorant and
besolted, aud call into activity the most cruel ap-
| petite in hunanity, TO promote base selfish and
partizan purposes Thus openly, boldly and pub
| lcly did he proclaim himself the friend Of intcm
perancc, that thereby he might obtain the votes o
drunkurls and dcbuuchees. Thus, with LiendSh
ness of spirit from which all good men involun
tarily shrink with horror, did he invite our youth
l to the drunkard's home and the gamblers hell, a
Il necessary preparation for the support of himseI
and conGrccs.
The good man, sckcned at heart by the con
temptation of such cold bIooded vil!any, turn
away, and in heayiness of spirit calculates, & how
the public mind has become corrupted, ,debasedm
pros,ituted, when the name of such Il creature cal
find place upon the State ticket ofa great party,

The Cenyent on.

We devote much space this week to the pro-
ccedngs of the Republican State convention
which are compiled from the official report in the
Ohio State Journal
Perhaps lurgcr or more respectable nomlna-
ting convention never assembled in the State. II
embraced full delegation from every county
composed OF the best men of the party and OF the
State. The proceedings were harmonious and
much good feeling and enthusiasm prevailed
throughout
The nominees, though not just as we desiredare'
nevertheless good, and aside from our personal
preference we could not have been better suited
with the exception, perhaps, of tie candidate for
Board of Public Works.
The platform adopted pIcases us better than
anything of the kind we have ever before rcad.--
1t breaths a spirit of true Republicanism, sympa-
thizing with suffering humanity, whether found in
tie person Of slave clicing out lis miserable
existence under the masters nercess lash, i'll the
span,ing fugitive fleeing from oppression, or the
Tree white laborer who is ground to mere sus-
tenance by the oppression OF Il too greatly concen-
trated capital 1t is in word and spirit, purely
l776 document, one which must meet the appro-
baton of all friends to humanity, right and JUS
tico. 1t sends no man to the PenitentiaTy without
far and impartial hearing at the hands of a. jury
Of his country nen-it has no words for mere
empty show-but very simply states important
principles with confidence in their correctness
aud determination that they shalt succeed
which ever charactcrizes the language and con
Aunt nf those who are buttlinr for Freedom auL
Right against Oppression and Wrong.
