NJ Editor What take TO be the two
great barriers to the progress OF temperance,
are the license system as established by the
State and moderate drinking as upheld by
very many excellent persons In their theory
and practice.
The first of these assumes formidable pro-
portions, iuasmuch as it bears the seal OF
power and law. Why the State should legal
ze aud uphold by its authority that traffic
which panders to the worst passions; which
is the fruitful cause of the most abhoIrent
and heinous acts which contributes most to
fill the criminal docket of the courts; which
makes the most paupers; which sends the
most subjects to the jais, penitentarics, and
the galows which in word does most to
put the State to an expense and deplete the
treasury, is an anomaly in political economy
that cannot be justified on any righteous prin-
ciples.
If it be said, that the State needs the rev.
cnue and its action is therefore justifiabie, it
may be put in bar, that what it receives, it Is
compelled to pay out, ard that with interest
ia support Of the paUpcrs. the criminals, the
prisons, etc stalled by the system, where it
is largely the loser If it be said that it is
necessary for the State to throw its protect
ing aegis around the practice of selling or
drinking liquor in order that it be kept with
in certain limit otherwise it would become
rampant and not in excess, it may be said
with force, the State in one way is giving
permission to infract its own laws aud in an
other it lays its hand upon the offender and
Furnishes him for that act TO which it lends Its
countenance. \ most glazing in consistency,
and certainly, Mr.. Editor, most unwise legis-
lation
If it be said that the State has no right to
interfere with the individual in his personal
habits and tastes, it may be responded if that
habit be demoralizing, and its abuse become
dangerous to life and property, as the pro-
tector of right, good morals and the WELL
being of the whole community, the State
should exercise its power and defend these
great interests and this is not to be done by
licensing and giving liberty to a traffic and
practice which may, with truth, be called a
modern Pandora's box, the opening of which
floods the country with evil, but in refusing
its sanction thereto, and welding its power
against it. Total ABSTINENCE.

AGooD STocK.-On a recent visit to Hall

the select stock of goods on exhibition at the
Brick Store House, of which Mr.. d. F. Engle
has charge. The only purchases we made
consisted of few groceries, and in this line
we certainly feel warranted in recommending
the stock of Mr.. Englc. lie is selling Coffee,
and Sugar, and Syrups, at prices which seem
to US astonishiugly low. His assortment of
Dress Goods and Domestcs, is very full and
complete, and we should judge abundant to

he is located. lie has an article of Rio Coffee
of which he presented us large paper
which we believe is equal, ifnot superior, to
any we have ever used.
