MoARTH UR, OHIO,
THURSDAY. FEB: 10. 1874
Prohibition State Convention.
The Dolitical cormorants


ing tor the spoils of battle
They have issued a call for a
convention on The 26th, at Mi.
Vernon, to nominate candidates
for State Offices. We are in
favor of temperance, and glory
IN tile womau's work, or any
other honest effort at reform;
bot we have no use tor these
temperance bummers, Tor the
one substantial reason that
they do the cause more harm
than good; that their only in
terest in the matter is to
squeeze enough money out of
their dupes to keep them in
bread and butter. They adopt
temperance as a business just
as saloon keepers adopt dram
selling as a business, and they
need praying for quite as much,
as the saloon keepers, if not
a little more. They have been
slashlng away in this State for
years, spending thousands of
dollars In salaries for lecturers,
secretaries, presidents, editors,
etc, whose efforts have not
been to subserve the cause of
temperance, hut to put money
Ia their own pockets. They
have met with no success what;
ever, for the reason as We veri-
ly believe that they are wolves
In sleeps clothing. In their
years of existence we have
never heard of one saloon
closed or Its keeper converted,
or even one person induced by
their efforts to abstain from the
use of liqnor, while tie wo
men, who are earnest in tenn
perance, have caused during
the past week, counting only
those reported in the Cincln-
natl Gazette, the closing of
131 places where liquor was
sold, and it is estimated that
10000 persons have signed the
personal pledge. Not only this,
the "Prohibltionlsts" have been
positively injurious TO the
cause of temperance. Wit
ness the present Legislature Of
the State. BY chioanery and
a multiplicity OF candidates
they have divided the temper
ance vote, causing the Legisla
ture to be so constituted that
the friends of temperance are
In the minority, and if the
Adair law-one of the best
practical temperance laws ever
devlsed-is not repealed, it
will be because the efforts of
the ladies have aroused public
feeling to such a height that
members have fears of their
official heads.
We believe Do Lewis, when
he estimates the temperance
people Of the State when
aroused to be three.tourths of
the men and, nineteen.twen-
tieths Of the women, under
estimates rather than over
estimates the strength. Why
Is 1t then that the Prohibition
lists have failed as a political
partya Because they have no
ground 10 stand on; they have
made no effort to assist the
cause they profess. Our peo-
pie are emineDily practical
ana they can see no good the
party has done or striven-to do.
The laws heretofore has been
stronger than public senti-
ment. II remained a dead. let.
ter upon the statute books, yet
their cry has been for more,
while they having the power,
failed to. use what they already
had. If they had used the
meansi in their hands and found
1t inadequate to meet the evil,
they might have had grounds
for q new partyllf the old ones

In this paper will be found letter from
Hon. Clarkson n. Potter, the popular Dem
ocratic congressman from the Westchester
| New ork, district, to Hon. Samuel j. Til
den, the Democratic Liberal candidate fo
governor 1t was written before Mr.. Til
! den was nominated, and when he wa;
chairman of the state committee. We
publish it because it suggests very import
ant reforms which the people of the whole
Union should consider, Mr.. Potter is {
son of the late Bishop Potter, and is one
letter evinces comprehension of political
necessities and grasp Of the present sit
uaton which has not been surpassed or
equalled by any recent utterance. 1t marks
him not merely as a thorough Democrat, but
as liberal progressive statesman. Mr..
Potter has the sagacity to see that pOllt-
zeal party cannot live on dead traditions
and stale formulas ; that it must keep pace
with the march of events, He perceiyes
that country has new needs in the sue
cessive stages of its growth, aud that it is
the province of true craftsmanship to keep
up with and anticipate the developing
wants of a nation. He has the rare tacul-
~ OF discriminating between genuine aud
sham remedies. He understands that It
amounts to nothing to expose abuses aud
denounce corruption without pointing cut
practical remedies. 1t is not enough for
physician to tell a patient he is sick-the
patient knows that himself Unless the
physician can prescribe the right medicine
at each stage of the disease he is ofno use
Mr.. Potter perceives that the essential
thing in this juncture of affairs is to put
new checks and curbs on our legislative
bodies to dry up the sources OF corrupt
ion aud extinguish the lobby by interd.ct-
ing all private and special Legislation to
root out the extortions practiced upon the
people by gigantic corporations by bring
ing this foIm of aristocracy under the
stern control of law. He sees, too, with
clear penetration. that TO declaim against
these evils aud denounce them in party
platforms is as idle as "a bull against the
comet. and that the only remedy that can
20 to the root of them is an efficient reyi,-
ion of the national and state constitutions.
Ii il refreshing to find a statesman with
capacity to see and courage to say that our
affairs ought to be lifted out of the old par
ty ruts, and t. expose the folly and quack

We have rarely read an article in the
Union with more pleasure or whose sentl-
ments we could as heartily indorse as that
appearing in yesterdays issue under the
head of business notice" wherein MIR. L.:
NJ. Haverstick announced the withdrawal
of his name from any connection with the
paper. For the last eight years Mr.. Hav
erstick name has been at the head of the
Union, during which time he has made it,
first good then bad, and for the last two
years entirely Indifferent to every principle
and requirement of honorable journalism.
We do not give expression to this view
with anything like partisan or personal
feeling, but because it is fact which hon
estly admits of no other treatment. While
claiming to be the exponent of political
principles, the Union has been the organ
of its proprietor, subject to his likes and
dislikes, INDUCING at times in the most I'M
reasonable and unwarrantabe attacks upon
public officers and well-meaning citizens.
For such course no public journal can
have any excuse.
