1t is said well regulated license system wil
confne tine sale Of intoxicating drinks to men O
character, and thus exclude our low groggerie
from becoming places for disturbing the public
peace and corrupting the community. But such
has not been the effect Of any license system eye
tried. We had our high and our low grogger'
les under our license system. Besides. which
do the most hurt, our high or low grogger-
les No person ever became drunkard Oi
common tippler, all at once. Though the des-
cent to a drunkard's grave is often rapid, ye; II
is never perpendicular. The work Of our high
groggeries is &c enlist men, and especially young
men, from the common walks Of lire and from
our best families, and to prepare them by a
course Of assiduous training to be handed over
as recruits for the low groggeries, that they
may finish them up for the punishment that
awaits the druukard at the bar Of the judgment
seat It Is said by some thata stringent license
system is what experience has shown We want,
to aid the cause Of temperance The argument
IS, if a high price is exactei f-r license, you
thereby c1ufnc the granting Of licenses to a few,
and render the price Of liquor so high as to
put it beyond the reach Of many to obtain IT,
The history Of the two last years in this state,
shows that the application OF ,1ch a proposition
has but little practical truth when pplied TO in
to1icating drinks Those who love liquor viii
not stand for the price, cost what it viii. There
can he no doubt. that the license system in re-
straiumc the use Of intoxicating drink. wa- bet
ter than nothing though founded upon false prin-
ciples Of legislation. when We regard the tra'sc
as = moral wrong; yet It did not. and never viii
meet the necessities Of the case It was the
right and the duty OF the Legislature of this
State, 70 protect and defend her citizens aglius,

drinks and in 1852 they rerul.4tel the license
system, and put the axe at the rolt Of tle tree.
