My conviction is that if the law should '=peS ed st present, nothing better could be sule ured Tor it. The good people of Connecticut not in coIji- tion to employ their good sense. through their ,- resentatives, in the making of law which shall le eIuCleNG CO regulate the OI especially in the commercial and manufacturing towns, where the evils of an unregulaed sale are | now manifest. On the one hand there are those who hold that the sale of aii intoxicating liquors | by the glass ought 10 be- uurostraiued the | sale of bread. On tho other hand there are those who hold that it is better to have anything short of | complete prohibition" which is the name they give to the Maine Law. These two classes will 1 operate q no not say Comblne) to make tho enact
 ment of any practically useful law impossible. hope the time may come when good citizens of all 1par ties and all religious denominations will unite to obtain for society sope efficient protection against the evils inseparabfe from an unlicense and unrcgulated traffic in the means of intoxcat.cn
 But that time is net yet, and till 1t comes the pres l ent law may well stand in the statute book as any other. 'f :H.' '.'
 Some of our best people, in various parts of the State, are$sendirg petitions to Legis lature or an additional enactment which they think will an swer the purpose of making the Maine Law effcc- lively. Temperance, the report goes, is making wonderful progress in Massachusetts by means of 'sState constabnlary;' therefore, they conclude, we must have 'State constabulary" ill Connecti- cut to enforce our Maine Law. If anybody desires
 to know my opinion on that question, it is this:- Tho good people of Massachusetts can afford to try
 experiments upon their body polite, which would l be to hazardous for us We are too near to New
 York, and too near to Ireland and too near to the l late Southern Confederacy and the not yet reCon structed States for certain class of eXpcrim msst by which Massachusetts may work out great prot lems in the science of government, not for her own l benefit only, but for the benefit of her neighbors | 2lSO ana or the WOrlo. WneI tlo cApelIhehG ol a | ''state constabulary" to execute the Maine Law shall have been carried to it's result in Massachu-
 setts with manifest success-when i'll the great ho-
 tels of Boston there shall be tthrough fear of the constabulary) neither wine nor strong drink for the guests when the. solid men of Boston shall
 find that the supply Of fluids for their wine cellars has been cut off by tho constabulary shall have [ suppressed in Boston, and throughout the oom- monwealth all club-rooms i'll which one of the
 privileges is the privilege of drinking the prohibited 1iduors-when the State of Massachusetts shall @ not merely, as she now is, the only lawful trader in alchohoc and fermepted liquors within her iu- risdicton, but shall have put down completely, by i by the might of 7her .constabulary all unlawful | competition with her commercial agents-then 1t will be practicable for to do likewise If Hive to see that day, will give my vote and voice for . ssState cohstabularyf in Connecticut Meanwhile l let us remember-''The attempt and not the decd 4 tconfounded us."
 F For myself, do not give up th9 great principle l of the Temperance reformation, cOluntd'y dlStt- and pledged union i11 such abstinence for the ske Q
 doing good. In regard to the Maine Law, and all
 other Legislation in the interest of temperance mako no opposition to those who think that good can be done in that way. I only claim for myself, land for others,I the privilege of having our ewn out being regarded as uhfaithful to the Temper ance reformation. v LENoARD BACON. l New Haven, May 11th 1867.
