For the American CITIZEN
Mr.. EBIToR ;---As business called me
to Court on Monday of March 4th, / was
sstonished' to find all the Taverns except
Mr.. Jacks, closed against the citizens Of
the county. Upon inquiring as to the
cause, l was informed it was on account
OF their being deprived oftheir liberty to
sell intoxicating liquors, which is driving
men to premature graves, and destroying
the peace and happiness of families;
causing all the misery and woe that flesh
is heir TO. Oh such liberty Where
is thy shane? | have made Mr. Zim-
merman's my only lodging place when
in Butler, for the last fifteen years or
more; and as far IS feel interested,
shall never patronage any Of the houses
or individuals who have been engaged iu
closing their doors against the citizens Of
the county. ! do hope and pray that
King Alcohol and ignorance cannot pre-
vail in this enlightened age. l would
respectfully refer those who are 80 fond
of selling liquor, to the second chapter of
llubakkuk. Perhaps they have never
read it, Or forgotten the. fifteenth verse,
which reads thus: "Woe unto him that
givcth his neighbor strong drink, that
putteth the bottle to him and maketh
him drunk, also, that thou niayest look
on their pakedness"
