ness than all the Temperance Associations
IN the land You have only to let it be known that int
perance is an insupsrabs bar to official prefermen and
YOU will at once bring the vice into disrepute.
The people and the political parties of the country
have much to answer for in this particular. They have
heretofore locked only to the party relations Of candi
dates without regard to their moral character or tness
for the sta ions they called on to I'LL Hence, many
seats in our Legislative Assemblies both State and Fed
sra have been filed by Incorporate men. The old
Congress was often the theatre Of drunken braws and
our own Legislative balls have witnessed similar exhibit
tons. l. is matter of public notorety that, within
few years past the Senate Of Virginia several occa-
sons has been compelled to adjourn, at an early hour in
cons quence eff the turbulent conduct OF some Ct its
members, superinduced by intoxcaton. Nor has the
House OF Delegates been exempt from similar disorder
As the old system has passed away, We hope these
evils will pass away with it. We might as well expect
figs from thses as sober legislation from drunken e-
gislatOrs.
We call attention to this subject at this early day, in
the hope that patriotic contemporaries CT the press
and the people generally, will unite with US in an earn
est effort to root out, escualy, this crying evil Let
US all unite heart and hand in the effort to exclude from
all public Offices all incorporate men. We care not
where it strikes or whom il strikes. At tho next cleo
ton let this test be made paramount to all others. 1t
matters not how shining mans abilities may be, how
extensive his capacities for usefulness we know that If
he il a drurkard, we cannot rely on him. He may be
unfit for service when there is the most urgent demand
for his assistance Let the line be distinctly drawn, and
IL. no incorporate man be elected to Congress, or
the General Assembly or any other public station The
men who fiji the high places Of the land ough. to be
bright eI .mples to the By elscng incorporate
men to Office, we give dignity and responsibility to the
vice itself.
This is the way to cut up the evil BY the roots. II
will not do to dodge the issue by war upon whisky,
and make the innocent farmers pay the penalty OF the
misconduct of drunken men. II not the whisky that
is in fault bu. the bad men who abuse it. Whisky will
bur. no one if he will let it alone. 1t is very good
thirg in its pace-pay, almost necessary. Tbs abuse,
aud not the use of it, is the evil aud those who war
against it act with much the boy who breaks
