Temperance aud Common Sease.--When
law discriminates between man aud man,
man must then do the next best thing he
can, aud he would not be subject to a
Lord, must bravely chuck the tea over
board Under the laws Of our State and
Nation person may keep a hotel or inn,
subject to a special tax or license and GER
tain conditions, &c, and when applca-
tion is made to the court such license is
usually granted. About all the towns
and villages throughout the State aud the
United States have licensed hotels, except
poor henpecked Lambertyille, land if we
may judge from the extreme solicitude of
her temperance clan, she is about the
sourest pickle in the pot. Now why is
this, if il is lawful to keep hotels else
where in the State, why does not til e
same rule apply to Lambertville, and il
Council have the right to preclude one
branch of lawful business, why not all?
Is it just and fair for Council TO depre-
ciate the value of private property in the
city and not reimburse the owner? Have
they done II? We hold Council violated
the spirit. if not the letter of law, and if
SO, such conduct on the part of officials
makes revolution iusti6able, and it is
dangerous ground to occupy. Great king
doms have gone down under similar cir
cumstances. King Charles the First of
England lost his head on the scaffold by
trucking between justice and expedency.
Is it possible, the temperance cause,
the twin sister of religion, must be boil
stored up by unfair means? We hold all
such bolstering Injuries the cause. Is it
necessary to wage war with the devil to
convert sinners Let him alone and look
after your own. adding fuel does not de-
crease the flame, or blowing of horns
capture city.
Still charge and cold steel was old Gen.
Meade's doctrine. The famous rebel yell
never spilled any blood or secured VIC
tory, and forced-up prohibition will never
succeed. To prove this, measure the fu-
ture by the past license may be pro-
/ hibited, but the manufacture, sale and
consumption of the ardent, never Moon
sinners are already at work Law is intend
ed to do justice between man and man,
and when it fails in that lisa failure. We
don't take much stock in judges. Auner-
isms have occurred and if we must except
Mrs. Lancet's doctrine, false in one thing,
I false in all. We are in a very bad fix.
High license will kill small grogshops
Go west for proof, where it has been
tried.
The bone OF contention or name adisor-
DERBY house, applied to the last miss
move of the clan, we must believe to be
the same old charge brought under new
name, and we stay by Conkling all the
same. He's too old bird to be caught
by chaff ha! ha ha! Why don't you
laugh? That nothing has come of com.
plants brought before the courts is due tt
the presumptuous manner of procedure
from the beginning, and no fault of jurors
Old Hunterdon is level-headed in every
thing but politics, and is righteous dis
criminator. "Mene, Meme, Tekel, UpAar
sin Cross examine the witness.
Dear Mrs Lancet, your not oppressive at all:
Bear down harder when you next call;
Wade in affecting sentimentals up to your knees
And use all the big DIS you dare please.
Quote Burns on he bridge of Leith at night,
Where poor Robert was found in pItilul plight,
T'would be bunckum indeed and make you mor'
frisky,
To show the folly of drinking poor whiskcy
