pie, the poor blacks Of the Eastern Argus
stamp have been in agony, and rayins he
cause the liquor question Is to b. taken from
the political arena and finally settled by the
people themselves. The chop-iallcn Le-
c,mptonite- are truly in sad dilemma,
they have had their noses held on to the
crinI..,onc by their southern masters 50
long. and bccomo in such had oiour with
the people, that unless they can g, up some
local hobby. they know their only future
place OF residence is to be at the bead waters
Of salt River This is the reason Why they
arr opposed to the settlement Of the question.
Temperance, with the black democrats, is
only question Of party policy-we mean
with The ieadr, Of the party. Many Of the
rank anil Gle are in fayer Of the new law.
and will vote fer il. but all this will De

wake Of the srus shops. They can look on
coolly and see men made rlvins maniacs,
wives made widows, children made orphans.
they can smile at the wide spread dcsola'

community where rum Is sold without legal
restriction.
The di.graeeiul campaign Of 1855 i'prooi
OF all this. Now le, the people turn out on
the 9Th Of. June and give such decided vote
as will put this question at rest. We have
no doubt great and overwhelming majori-
" Of the people are in favor OF prohibition,
and the only danger to be apprebended Is
that they will fail To come out. We there
fore repeat, let the sturdy, patriotic citizens
Of" Old Oxford rally from every valley
and every hill top; let them devote one day
To the cause Of temperance let them rally
around the right standard, and discharge
their duty to themselves, their children,
their country, and their God.

Stand up for Your Law.

We call upon the friends Of tho License
Law OF 1856, to sustain their law on the
seventh Of June. II you are sincere, YOU
really believe In the doctrine OF hoen", 80
to the poll. and say -. twill be no evil
dcnee Of honesty or moral courage to stay
away from the polls upon tho day when the
people are called upon to settle tho matter
between license and prohibition. None Of
your special pleading aud ret,iiocging about
the ocH'niuiiondliy Of the submission will
avail you anything. The question Is fairly
presented for the action Of every legal voter
in the State. Now let our valiant friends
who swear by the law Of 1856. walk up to
the polls and show their hand. II they have
no confidence in what they s,y. II they are
talking Cor political effect, II they are try
Ing to trot on, the run question and make
1t political hobby a, the next State cleo.
ton. then they viii doubtless stay away
from the polls, and then declare the people
have not voted, aud the question Is not set
tied.
We trust the License party are not
ashamed Of themselves. or Of the law they
have 80 much extollcd II they all come
out, /, may prove that they are in a woeiul
minority (; but, nevertheless, # they are men
OF courage. men Of ncrve,-if they are honest
in their pretended love for " license" they
will show fight. and ties, their sincerity by
appearing a, the polls and meeting their op.
poncn,. face to face at toe ballot box. We
again siy to our &" license" friends, march
up to the ballot box like men. Voters,
show your pluck II you have 81, any. and
then let the voice OF the people b. final
settlement: Of the question. We have no
Gath in tho courage Of that class Of soldiers
who run away from the hattie before single
gun is fired, who are no, only afraid ola
bullet. hut faint" even a, the smell Of pow.
der. We can confidently assure the friends
~ license tina, the prohibition " army IN
Maine will march up the polls IN solid
phalhnx on the 9Th OF June. You need mol,
ila,ier your.elye. that thy are To be caught,
mapping. for as sure rs that day come. they
will show their faith BY their works. and
like honest men avail themselves Of the OPP
portunity afforded Of giving ut,erancc to
we'll sc,tlcd opinions through tho potent
agency Of the balloi.hoK.
Once more We call upon the friends Of
Z" license, To fdo, n, muue. come up to the
hattie like men NEE, you opponents face IN
face strike strike Tor free rum and libsr-
~ and then Il you get sounily whipped.
DON, say there has been no hattie, no defca,
Of one party or victory Of the other.
