The Greencastle Banner Of recent date
comes out in lengthy article in favor of
Hon. EDWARD Bates, Of Missouri, for
President If Ifnominated by the Republi-
can Convention, we can eheerfully support
Mr.. Bates. The Banner's article concludes
as follows: ...,.,ts,, f.r. .4,.if
Without, for the present, multiplying
words or .enumerating influences and rea-
sons, or attempting in detail to demonstrate
the correctness of our opinions, we honestly
believe that for success, q wise policy
would point unerringly to the nomination
of Edward Bates, of Missouri, as most
likely to accelerate and consolidate the
proposed union. So far as we arc apprised.
there is nought in his history that would
render him Objectionable to practical
common sense Republican. While he,
perhaps. has not been as "noisy' upon
the subject of free labor as others, yet his
acts of emancipation afford overwhelming
proof. of his devotion to the cause.
Although not a member of the American
party. yet we have every reason to believe
that he wouiA be acceptable to the united
American vote Of .he North. There are
thousands of old Wings who years since
quietly retired from the field of political
conflict who, for such man, would put on
the armor and contribute their mite to the
cause of reform. That he would be accept
able to the powerful German vote Of the
North, we have only to point to his popu-
larity and standing with the controlling
German vote of ST. Louis. He has the
elements of character to inspire the conf
dence and support Of men of all parties,
save the regular administration Democracy
Whether you view him as a private Ameri-
can citizen, as a professional man. or as a
statesman, his rank is among the eminent.
In short, with such man, the Opposition
would equal to the contest in every doubt
ful Northern State The people of Califor-
MIA, Oregon, Kansas and Missouri would
feel that upon his election the Pacific Rail
Road would become one of the certainties
of the future. The men of Pennsylvania
would hail his nomination as an omen Of
better days for the paralyzed and neglected
interests of their manufactures. And in
all those doubtful States his nomination
would silence the cry of sectionalism and
inspire confident hope of success
Without presuming to dictate, we believe
that as matter of common Justice the
voice of the West should lie respected in
the approaching contest.

Physicians are generally IotTto speak a word

that they have found a medicine peculiarly adapt

country, during the summer months, the demand

THE BoURBoN TEMPERANCE FEsTIvAL.-
We publish the resolutions adopted at the
Bourbon Temperance Festival OH the Sd
inst, in another column on this page,
without, however, intending to endorse
them altogether. We have our own views
on the subject of temperance laws. and are
willing that others should enjoy the same
privilege We arc an advocate Of sobrie-
ty and temperance both in theory and prac
ticc, still, we differ respectfully with ultra
temperance men in regard to the proprie
ty or utility of prohibitory liquor laws,
and especially to search, seizure and con-
fiscation, believing as we do, with the ex-
perience we have in such matters, that
public opinion in this State would not
now if ever sustain such a law, and that it
would be dead letter on the statute, or,
if it could be enforced that it would create
greater evils than it would destroy. Be-
sides, our Supreme Court having decided
such law unconstitutional it is altogeth-
er useless to talk about cnacting another
until the constitution is changed But,
we shall not stop now to discuss these
points. We only desire to define our po-
sition briefly on the temperance question
at present. We are content with the law
we already have in this respect, with a few
exceptions. The provision requiring
uniform fee of $50, in all cases. for the
privilege of retailing liquors, we regard as
absurd. ridiculous. and unequal in its op-
erations, for which Gov. Willard is res
ponsiblc, las he wo ald net approve bill
leaving it discretionary with the Commits
sioners ofthe several counties We also
think it unwise to include beer, ale,a cider
and native wines in the list ofintoxicating
liquors. They are comparatively harmless
bevers ges. and as a general thing, their
unrestricted sale would rather promote the
cause Of temperance than otherwise. we
think. At least. such is the opinion of
temperance men in localities where the
matter has been tested. ''spi @

Grand Temperance Festival.

The inhabitants Of Bourbon and vicinity met on
the Sd Of September for pic mic, addresses and
ton on the subject oftemperance.
The procession was organized by f. r. Coxen,
Esq, who was appointed Marshal and President Of
the day. TIE Good TempIars led the procession
and were followed bya large concourse Of people,
to a beautiful grove west of the town, when after
Ingiug by the choir, which was most delightfully."-
executed, and an appropriate prayer, the meeting
was addressed by the Rev. Henry Chance, the
buckeye Broadax," in his usual unique style and
spirit, for the space of more than two hours, when
with cheerful hearts, and sharpencd appetites, they
fell upon the dinner and enjoyed it hugely. After
short recess. for congratulations. the meeting was
again called to order and the committee or resolu-
lions presented the following which, some with and
some without discussion, were unanimously adopt
ed: ft
1st Resolved, That the influence of intoxicating
drinks is in alli its bearings, against the best inter
ing them should be regarded as dislmbers of the
peace and enemies of mankind.
ID That remote and possible good is not suf-
icient excuse for engaging ina business. which is
demoralizing in its nature, and ruinous in its ef-
fects. M
3D. That it is not violation of the naturalrights
of any to prohibit the use of his property, when
he uses it for the injury of community; nor toseize
and destroy it, when he will not dcsist from such
use oft, and, therefore, that prohibitory law in
vclving the principle ofsezurs and destruction is
both equitable and just l
4th- That great amount Of good has been ac-
complishcd 10y the different Or CARNATIONS oftemper
ance men, and that we recognize in each successive
organization an Improvement on the past
5th. That the association Of female influence,
with that Of the male population, is indispensa
bic to the accomplishment of much good; and that
while in the great work before us they may imper
il their persons, we viii pledge to them our sympa
thy, our protection and defense.
9Th. That the temperance reform demands shc
cooperation of abs mcns women and children. and
that it is the duty ofal to connect themselves with
temperapce societies, and thus take stand in this
great question.
7th. That VIC believe in doing all we can BY NOR.

can neverbe cfectually checked, until We have a
stringent pruhibitory law; and that will use ev
cry means in our power to secure the enactment Of
such alaw by ourlegislaturc, as early as possible
9Th. That although we donot approve the prin
ciplc, onwhich our present liquor law Is based yet

byit, andwe pledge ourselves 70 use all proper
