motive of the National Liberal party is to
realize more fully than ever. yet has been
done the main object of government by
the people, as expressed by the Declaration
of Independence and the preamble to the
Constitution of the United States, to-wit:
That it shall be made true as far as possible
in our country that all persons shall here
after be born free and equal and be en-
dowed with certain rights, among which
shall be liberty and the right to the pursuit
of happiness.
That to secure these purposes it has be-
come necessary in our judgment, that
new party should administer and reform
the whole of our national and State Gov
ernments so as to effectually Establish
Justice and secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our prosperity"
That as the best governmental policy to
effect these ends we adopt and rely upon
the noble maxims of Jeffersons inaugural,
which he said were 'the bright constella

age of revolution and reformation" and

The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1879-09-15

by the Representatives of each State, as
for instance the Representatives of Ohio
in Congress, who would assemble some
where by themselves, and if majority
of them were Republican they would
proceed to vote and naturally decide to
cast the vote of Ohio for the Republican
candidate. If a majority were Demo-
cratic then they would give the one vote
to which Ohio was entitled to cast for
the Democratic candidate. When they
all meet in the House of Representatives
for the election the matter therefore is
decided by each State thus casting its
one vote for the candidate of its choice.

THE thrifty people of Connecticut
have for so many years been busy turn
ing out their wonderful wooden nutmegs
and clocks that the venerable Blue Laws
of the moral old State have become so
loose about the slaves that they fail in an
emergency to hold water. The old Sun
day Law of Connecticut, whose indigo
tints have done duty for so many years
as type of strictness are really about
as straight-laced as those of Ohio or Ken
lucky, and perhaps less so than those of
Texas. Among them, however, is one
which prohibits labor on Sunday, except
those of mercy or necessity; keeping
open shop or exposing merchandise for
sale; engaging in sport, game or play
between the rising and setting of the
sun; travelling except from necessity or
charity; running stages or any public con-
veyances except for carrying the mails.
This law has for some years been disre-
garded in many instances, and particu-
larly by a little steamer which for the
last year or two has been accustomed to
make Sunday excursions from Norwich
to Watch Hill and back, in which it was
very largely patronized. A Congrega-
tional clergyman of Norwich has felt
called upon lately to stir upa severe agi,
taton on the subject of Sabbath desc
Grafton by this steamer, and calls on the
civil authorities to prosecute her owners
for the violation of law. The Mayor al
first refused to prosecute, but the public
agitation over the matter was such that
the officials were at last constrained tC
take cognizance of it. Happening as
this does in Connecticut the incident is
not without interest, showing, as it seems
to. the drift Of public opinion in Con
necticut.

IT is curious to observe that the United
