If President johnson advocates the
policy laid down in the Union Platform
upon which he was elected to the Vice
Presidency, and opposed by the SO called
Democrats and Southern Rebels, how
happens it that every one Of those who
opposed his election, including Southern
traitors, are the warm friends OF the in
cidental President and his policy? Has
the President gone over to the Butter.
nuts and Rebels, or has the Butteruts
and Rebels come over to to tho Preis-
dent? 1t seems to us that in order to
bring two extreme ends Of political par
ties together to work upon the same
platform, one or the other must have un-
dergone a radical change, or both must
have sacrificed portion of their former
principles. Who has changed? Will
the President, or the Butternut party,
acknowledge an inglorious surrender Of
principles to the other?

TUE NEW LIQUOR LAW.
The liquor law which was recently
enacted by the Ohio Legislature, and
against which every Democratic member
voted, compels dealers to give bond OF
one thousand dollars that they will not
sell any liquors except Lager Beer and
Wine made out Of the pnrejuice oigrapes
raised in the State-of Ohio. Cincinnati
and Cleveland were exempt from its
operations. Its one of the most absurd
laws ever placed upon the statute books,
and sc do not believe can be enforced,
because Of Its exemptions.
This alleged law is the resul! Of our
neighbcr'S fruitful imagination. He
can't abide any Infringement by law up

examined the acts passed at the late ses.

come to the conclusion that the editor Of
the Register has made an erroneous
charge upon the Union Legislature Of
Ohio. If not, will the editor be good
enough to publish the law entire, or ac-
knowledge that his statement is incor-
rect.
The only law we see, that was passed
on the liquor question, is the one which
