THE TEMPERANCE CoNvENTIoN.-Among |
the prominent local events of our town |
the past week has been the State Temper
ance Convention. The attendance was not
so large as has sometimes been the case at
such conventions, arising no doubt in part
from the prevalence at the time of eX-
treamly cold weather. But what it lacked
in numbers was made up in concentration
of material. There was enough force in it
for two such conventions. The fighting
for reform has been largely of the guerrilla
order. What they wanted was to get to-
gether and lay systematic plans for the
best success of the cause. The first session
was entirely given up to discussion, and
free and unrestrained expression of thought
was the result. On the general principal
of ftemperance-totala abstinence-there was
not diverging thought. 1t was the legal
restraints that claimed their attention.
And it was not the restraints they a0ould
but what they could get, and while the ex-
preston of the convention was for "local
option" as policy, the sentiment of the
entire delegation had much deeper root.
Local Option as democratic expression of
the voice of the people was unquestioned,
but the claim was that there was higher
ground still,-a Divine prohibit, "thou
shalt do no wrong" and to license the sale
of alcohol as a beverage was to legalize a
traffic whose only tendency is to do evil
1t was claimed that it should stand on q
par with theft, arson or any other crime
that affiicts society and be prohibited as
they are. The men of largest experience
were mainly on this side, while expediency
and numbers were on the other. The Oh
servations of those who have had the op
portunity to carefully investigate tn,
various modes of dealing with the liquo
question was, that while restrictive laws ar
beneficial tho Maine Law" is the onl
one that will bear the strain of battle an
grow strongeryear byyear While dispose
to take the best they can get from tn
Legislature, they put themselves on recor
as fighting for a principal which is as in
violable of compromise, as the Decalogu
itself. They planted themselves on thi;
not only because it is Divine command
but because it was the spirit that permeate
our Declaration of independence and mad
us a free nation. They find in the domir
ion of rum the most abject slavery an
cruel oppression, and it is to break thes
bonds and free the children suffering fror
these wrongs for which they are strivin!
With such odds against them of politics
partisans, administrators of the law, th
combinations of the liquor league, &c,
insure success they must be backed by
strong public sentiment. In fact, one
the last acts of the convention was ii
passage of a resolution looking forward
ultimate results" when prohibition enac
ments shall be fully endorsed by the peop
of Delaware. 1t may be proper befo
closing to say that to the temperance sen
ment Of this town and especially to Il
persistent and unt;ring labors of two me

principles of the temperance forces.

expect the high estimates are incorrect. There
