me unexpectedly, rind against my expressed
wishes, in nomination ; and under circum-
stances whtch did not leave lite at liberty to
decline-. -
Since the "iii:-peril of the lsbsir of 18'-lS,I
have had little faith in efforts to restrain or
rerziilate the liquor traffic by legal coercion ;
yet, i have hot been an rnarcsmm observer of
the how isslle-, iiirliiecd by the eilraorrliniify
adécess of the proposed enactment; in rho
State of Mattie. It is appafent that tllb‘ cori-
test will d'el'el-'r'ninc, whether any efficient at-
tempt to restrain the sale can prevail in this
State, or whether it must be abandoned for-
ever.
If, in such a contest, l should not he fodnd
with the friends of temperance and humani-
ty, I should be false to my conceptions ofthe
evils attending the tratiic,—'.’to niy~sense of
duty, as it citiien, and of fraternity, as a
man-— to my recollection of the many person-
al friends and acquaintances, iii every condi-
tion in life, who have gone of are going,
blighted and bligliting, to prerhtiiilre graves ;'
and to the bonvicliomthai no inconsiderahle
proportion Oflllc young men, who are how
ripening into manhood, will, in all hurita'_n
probability, be enticed into the some fatal
steps, unless the--sblmfes of temptation are
removed. -
There seems to be much rnisrtipfeséiitalidn,
and some misconception of the proposed law.
The Gentleman who drew it,inten”dlttg doubt-
less to prelfent all possibility of 'ei5a‘s'i0'fi, i'ricdr-
poritted ohb or two prdvisiofis; itot absolutely
essential to its efficiency, which striltc some
sincere minds tinfatior;-tbly, and may life]! be
rtiodilied-‘—'-and pcrhzifis the power tti seize
the liquor olllererl or exposed for sale should
be somewhat more carefully guarded from
all danger ofabttse. In all other respects,
it is as free from candid objection, as any
enactment can be, which looks to a certain
destruction of the tralfiic.
In common with my fellow citizens gen-
erally, l have an instinctive aversion to all
liberty. They can only be justifled by the
existence of great eriiergencies,dr pressing
cVllS. In my judgment, the riidgbitude of
the evils to be remedied, and the priceless
blessings to be attained, by the adoption of
a law substantially liké that of Maine, are an
ample justification for any sac'rific‘e of person-
al liberty, or pecuniary prosperity, which it
may require (if any member of the communi-
‘.Y- .
All important éhuiigés "iii long? Eitisiing
laws, should he so made as to challenge the
assent ofthe people, nndvsecure a permanent
support. Attempts to regulate and restrain ’
the sale of intoxicating liquors, have been
coeval-wiiii our history-, but no one so pro-
hibitory has before been passed or proposed.
it is natural thin many of its sincere friends
should desire that it riiziy be submitted to a
vote of the people for their approval. That
horveiier, is it question of mode only, and
may be left to the soiind discretion of the
Legislature, enlightened as they will be, by
the developement of public opinion here, and
further" eiiidéticé in relation to its permaneu.
