NICHOLSON, Jan. 29
| Mr.. Editor AFTER much skirmishine. and great
preparations, for the past two months, the second
battle between the Tempars'' and the license men
has been fought. without any decisive advantage to
either party resulting in much expense to the coun-
ty, and lndividuals-ospecally to the prosecutors,
and prosecuted-besides engendering much hard
ness and rancorous feeling between neighbors that
for years heretofore were in peace and harmony in
the pursuit of their several calngs As there can
not be another general engagement until April,
would it not be well for all concerned to take such
measures as will promote be tier and generous
feelings?
1t must be plain to all conservative and unpreiu-
diced minds, that to enforce unpopular Law upon
an unwilling people, only makes bad matter worse.
1t having been admitted by Good Templars and true
temperance men. that the prohibitory law for Wyo-
ming County was prematurely enforced upon people
that were not sufficiently ducated to receive it
which has been fully demonstrated az among the
numerous tried, not one conviction has taken
place. Under all the circumstances would it not be
better to take measures to get the act repealed If
not directly by the legislature have it referred to
vote Of the people, by ct of the same, sufficiently
in case the vote repeals the act
We all profess to be Democratic and are willing
to be governed in such cases by majorites. 1t
strikes me that a compromise Of the kind will have
tendency to bring US back to more healthy posi-
tion
Whatever the decision might be, the minority
should be satisfied and no doubt would conform to
the will Of the majority. At all events the better
part of society would have sufficient influence to cf
feet acq uescence. There doubt if we are per-
mitted to fall back upon the general License Law
which is sufficiently stringent and guarded for the
morals of cOmmunity-if it is enforced--that the
prohibihonsts would command the sympathy if not
the assistance in the enforcement of it, Notwith-
standing your correspondent is classed among the
outlaws, aud set down as drinking oafer, &C., by
the great Rev. Davidson while deli vering his Tenn
par Sermon at the Stark Church on the 18th inst.
he will be found at all times in unison with those
that have the welfare of society in keeping and will
aid and assist all good and conservative men in the
enforcement of all just laws. B.
