The leading citizens Of Montpelier have
united in the effort to suppress the sale
Of intoxicating drinks. It would seem
from the tenor of resolution which was
unanimously adopted, that if the liquor
sellers do not come down when tuft OF
grass is used, they will try what virtue
there is in stones.
The ladiourned) Citizens Temperance
meeting, on Wednesday evening last, was
very fully attended, and was ably adj
dressed BY the chairman, Col. Hopkins,
Rev. Messrs. Wright, Ballou, Holman
and Lord, also by DR.. Brigham, George
w. Ripley and others. After the ad-
dresses, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted, by rising vote:
ResOleed, That committee of twenty
be chosen by this meeting, who are direct
ed to request each person in town, en-
gagged in the illegal sale of spirituous Ii
quors, to discontinue such sale. And if
the request is not complied with, said
Committee are directed to use all the
means which the law furnishes to sup
press the sale in each individual case
and this meeting hereby pledges itself to
sustain the Committee in their action in
this matter.
Subsequently the following Committee
was chosen under the foregoing resolu-
ton:
j. A. Page, Charles Reed, Joel Foster,
Denison Taft, w. G. Ferrin, Albert Jo-
honnott, John w. Clark, Charles FL.
Cross, Jacob Smith, G.. N. Brigham, d.
Mcdonald, ]. T. Thurston, Charles M.
Chandler, Sumner Putnam, III. d. Hop
kins, Joseph Poland, Mahlon G. Taplin,
?. P. Pitkin, T. G. Phinney, George w.
Ripley.
We need only add, that the Committee
have adopted Iplan of proceeding, and
will be heard from in due time.

A free and Intelligent use of the ballot
never should be denied because this is
consistent with the principles OF free
government, and when such alone il
welded, we may hopefully look forward
to glorious future land in oomparison)
to an iknoble past! Should the ballot be
given to women on the present basis Of
qualification, we cannot see how the bal
lot would be purified, or even bettered ;
but in fact would make the system worse,
for the intelligent and refined would not
so readily embrace an opportunity to vote
as would the the low and vile. What re-
fined lady would be seen at the polls of
New York, with the thousands of aban-
doned women of that God-forsaken city 2
Not one.
But the tendency should be, and is, in
some portions of our country, to respect
the intelligent, whatever. may be their
pecuniary condition, and when this noble
feature of free government is recog-
nized, then the ballot may be given to all
such without fear of abuse.
Never, as long as republics live, will
free system of schools, and all civil and
religious institutions be sustained except
upon the basis of intelligence, and that
attained through the ordinary channels of
education. Let the present system of
voting continue, and ere long the great
Mississippi valley will witness people
environed by an impregnable wall of
ignorance and superstition, whose CO.
horts will stretch their lines of contest to
the very heart of New England and west
ward to the inviting fields of the broad
Pacific slope.
In seeking to ameliorate the condition
Of man, let us look well to the laurals al
ready won, and let it not be said, to our
shame, that the crimson tide which flowed
for freedom in the rebellion, flowed in vain,
and the lessons of the last rebellion taught
without effect. lem
