viii not outsiders jecr at our CHI
zcus, when their utter infant like
belplcssncss is 30 forcilly made man
ifcst, by so nurse.like a law as is now
in force?
Will they not exclaim : what a
miserable set of dlunkards poor
Mississippi is infested With" II
drunkenness can, or does, influence oul
Representatives in their acts, tEen !
say, let US send men of moral worth
to our Legislative Hall D.; men in
who c makeup the great essential Il
will" is ret lacking ; men Of stability
and character ; men who will go
ahead in the good work Of retrcnch-
ment and reform in affairs of State,
leaving the morals Of the citizens to
the management Of our ministers, our
sisters, mothers and wives men who
will not assume virtues they have
not" but whose own virtues will make
them shine forth bright particular
stars; ornaments in the Hall, where are
now seen r~ottcnncss and corr upton,
and where once was reflected the spleq-

side heavier than the "cash'; and
men to whom large families look for
support.
Times arc not as they once were.
X man man must do now, what lie
can, not what he wishes. | dent
b'ame the bar owners /; they are not
responsible for a mans drunkenness ;
for a man can get drunk at home as
well az in a bar-room !; they don't run
after him in the streets and beg him
TO drank , if lie drinks, he drinks Of
his own free will ; if not, but through
feelings Of delicacy, then his compo
is incomplete /; he is no man at
all. Since men will drink as long as
liquor can be had, the only way to
correct the evil, is TO get at its root /;
but its root runs through the whole
