This ia subject which, happily with u.s. has never in
any respect been brought within the dominion Of party
either civ religious Such however has been il lot
in the New World and il affords the most remarkable
illustration OF tho evils which aifct the United States
from the practice Of their constitution, main tanning
every part the country ncessaut by
The distribution Of patronage and change OF Offices Every
subject Of nature interest the muny and thus
TO create difference OF opinion becomes the ground OF
controversy TO contendng parties, and so the Maino
Liquor law becomes . question upon which Governors
chosen and moved. The evils which the sGspen-
sion OF that law occasioned IA the great increase OF
persm and crimes which had, VI der H benefcent
operation, been reduced within an incredibly narrow
compass. but which rapidly revived. so seriously
impressed mems minds with the mischief Of having made
party question that . resolution passed NJ the
State Convention against treating the subject
hereafter the repeal OF the suspension law eeced
and all attempts against the Maine law were after yards
defeated by reference 10 the resolutions OF the Conven
tion. Nothing rebound more TO the honor Of the
American people than their thus firmly perseverng 10
their just nnd righteous determination But IL s mpos
sible AVOID feeling how great happiness In this
country 10 be free from the influence Of such disturbing
forces upon most important measures We discuss
them freely their merits, apply 10 the
sderaton Of them those principles which, on mere mat
tiers Of scencesu science reduced practce-snould
guide the Inquiry and dictate the conclusions We arc
removed absve the storms raised by popd0 ny, nor
ever stunned by the noise which the psaiuua COM
pares 70 that Of the raging and vision OBJ
scured by the clouds which faction drives together.
