In the interest of prohibition several
clcrgymen in Frederick county have been
delivering sermons and urging their con
grrcations recently not to attend the conn-
ty fair to be held at Frederick this week,
or to encourage it in any way, because OF
the privilege granted by the managers al
lowing gaming devices and the sale of in
toXicating liquors on the ground, which
they claim,o be disgrace and an injury
to the community. In referring to this,
the officials OF the society state that while
the sale of liquors in moderation will be
permitted as in the past, it has been de-
trrminrd To allow no gaming privileges
this year. At Middctown on Monday the
Good Tcmplar organization passed Il reso-
luton requesting members no. to counlc-
nance the fair by exhibits or their pres

dav" to secure their presence at the cleo
ton polls, should cover all that was to be
said on our part, except III case that we
were replied TO in Il manner that demand
ed rrjoinder. We have received no such
reply for publication, but have been APP
preached, personally, with the argument
that bv our course we would do an Unjust
ice to the poor and laboring man.
We are ready to acknowledge that he
WHO would make money by the method
referred to- would he just SO much the
worse off, financially, but we decline to
agree that this lcsscning Of his income is
not legitimate any more than we should
agree to say that the man who systematic
ally robs his ncighhor is being uniustly
dealt with, by having Tie strong arm OF
the law applied to him.
A mans vote may not be placed lcgiii-
mately in the market as a commodity and
there is not brazcu assurance enough in
any man that we know, to carry him ihro
the assertion that it is anything else but
Tie vote, for which the wages (?)arc paid
A poor man, Il laboring man, nor any
man, is justified in dehauching himself for
gain of any kind and the former especially
will suffer when il comes to be accepted
that his opinion and influence may be di-
rcctcd and controlled by such as are will
inr to invest the amount of Il days wages
in him.
The brbc-takcr falls one degree lower
only than tic brihcr and by rendering it
impossible that there should he an exist
cncc OF either class, we would the lift by
JUS, tina, one degree, the former higher
than the latter and therein feel that II IS
from them rather than the hribing class
that we should expect support AM coun-
tcnancc in ,hc matter.
4 vote is one of IA number OF things,
with which one may not do as he plcascs,
simply because ii belongs to him.
