But every intelligent person knows that tills hnital nntl unpro voked uflmult on Supt. Lee is prompted by personnl spite nnd jiar tiwih rancor. Ho Is a democrat, ap pointed by a democratic administra tion ; and this is his unpardonable sin; lie has licen advertising for bids lately, and his patronage went to his own party organ. This hccijih to have tilled the Statesman editor with frenzy, and his ravings the last week or two betray his uncontrolla ble mood. Mr. Lee is very hand somely endorsed by his fellow-countrymen in Indiana, and the mer- chant) of this city, with whom he has dealing, sjieak highly of his per sonal qualities and business integ rity. Some ill will may be felt to ward him by discharged employes, pcrnous it was incumbent on him to remove for the good of the service ; but has a newKtMiper no better use limn to listen to their spile, and be foul Its columns with detraction and scurrility? We have been prompted to say this much 111 defense of a useful man entrusted with a dllllcult and responsible position, and in reproba tion of a misuse of the Journalistic olllce which suboidinatcM the public interest to personal rancor, and ii willing to trample on worth and merit to Indulge in partisan spleen.

Speech delivered by Senator Win dom at the unvcilingof the statue of JosluJi Uartlettat Amesbury, Mass., July 4th. Tho discussion of this subject seems to me quite appropriate to the occasion. Perhaps the highest hon or we can Miy to the founders of our government, is to accept with pro found gratitude the blessings which, under Ood, they have transmitted to us, and to face with manly courage and patriotic determination what ever problems remain to be solved. Among thc-c problems none are so grave and pressing, and none threat en consequences so disastrous to all that Is most sacred In our Institu tions, as arc involved in the Ameri can saloon system. In the wide sweep of its malign influence it touches, and threatens the very warp and woof of our social, political and ludjwtrjnl organism. How to curtaillmnpiiiully destroy this evil is the gieaf problem of the hour. Its solution stands next on tho world's calendar ofprogre&s. It has been curled for trial, and cannot be dismissed or po'-poned. Thosuloon has boldly cntcled politic, and it has come to stay until vanquished or victorious. lirielly stated, thequestienis: Shall tho liquor power with its diro and deadly liiilutnce rule and ruin, or Ishall it bo utterly destroyed? Tills malign power has organized and massed Its mighty forces for the conflict. IlhasraWcd the black flag, and proclaimed that ho who will not swear allegiance to It and there by beenmo particcps criminis in its work of destruction and death shall politically perish. The tinio lias therefor come when, the issuo must be met. Political parties can no longer dodge It if they would. Pri vate cltleus must tnko sido openly for or against tho saloon, with its methods and results. "Neutrality Is henceforth' Impossible; Indlfler cnee is henceforth a betrayal of the trust involved in citizenship." To maintain this right the Mdoon power has organiz.ed its vast forces formed Its political alliances, and now, conscious of its strength, bid ,i... .irriMiico to law and public sen timent. To maintain the rkdit to get money by the wholesale destruc tion of life, health, and property, It corrupts the Imllot, lulbes legisla tures,! tampers with Juries, and seeks to Intimidate, the weak and coward ly by arson and assassination. Not less than .SO,(HM victims go an nually to the drunkard's grave from the homes of tills laud Alas! how true and terrible Is this Indictment of the saloon. Oh, (lint from every hilltop and valley, from mountain and prairie, from city and hamlet, from lakes to gulf, ami from seu tosea, there might this day in ise the united voice of our sixty millions of people In nuM solemn declaration of imlcendeiiee of this cruel king, whom Injuries and usurp ations threaten the destruction of our five governieut, As did our di thers when they lesolved to throw oil' the alssdute tyranny of a bad king, so let tisglve certain facts to a candid world. This monster, sit ting supremo in the x!ttlcs of this country, has enacted laws authoriz ing him to open in all our tow ns and citic slaughterhouses of men, wom en, and children, ami of all virtue. lie has enacted laws H.rmlttlug htm to transform men Into beasts. lie Is the direct cNUsc of nlue-tciitlta oftho woo and sorrows which blight and curse our jKHiple. He, hiding his monstrous deform ity under the forms of law enacted by his own vassal, over whose head he cracks the slave-driver's lash lu halls of legislation, maintain at our oxR)iiso an army of miscre ant wh, at the very dHtrs of our homes and In the shadow of our sMuctuarius, prosecute the work tt murder ami death. He has denivolled UUhw, burdened with excessive taxation. sacrificed at tho Burine of the drunk ard's Moloch. He sits supreme in the national congress and makes laws in the country's capital. He governs courts of justice and makes ministers of the law and legislation his lackeys. He silences the preacher in his pulpit and muzzles the editor at his dek. He wastes, directly and indirectly, in his revels unnually more than n thousand millions of our dollars, and marshals in his staggering proces sion to death and hell a half-million of our people. He is a cold, heartless, cruel mur derer and assassin of the deepest dye. He counts his victims by millions, butcheries go on daily and nightly within sight of the portals of our homes. We can hear the shrieks of his victims and the wail of the bereaved. The time would fail me to tell the thousandth part of the evils, multi plying and destructive, that flow out of the liquor trufllc, and in all this vast throng the great evil has no friend. Hear friends, liavo we tl-c courage this day to issue, and thereto ulllx our signatures in the pronounced handwriting of John Hancock, our now declaration of independence ; and Avith a firm reli ance on Divine Providence pledge our lives and fortune, and our sacred honor, that from 'this day hence forth, no word or act of diirs may be construed into allegiance to this felon king? Ho must be driven from ids placo of power and utterly orei thrown. Tho coulllct is upon us. It Is a life-and-death struggle. Oh, for an uprising of righteous indigna tion, for an aroused American con science, for patriotic devotion to home and country llko that which gave inspiration and faith to Jonas Parker and his neighbors when they reddened the village-green of Lex ington with their blood on that glorious morning a century and more ago, when the old revolution bin st into magnificent blossoms as the shot was fired that echoed round the world; for an enlightened pub lic opinion, tho mightiest advocate of any question for tho combined forces of Christian home, Christian church, and Christian common wealth in battle array against the (rattle in theft ami murder until it shall bo thundered from every polit- I1 Htiml, national utut state, "Thou shalt not, and there shall benolegal iz.ed saloon where lloats the starry flag of tho free." Not until then will the infamous business cease; not until then will we be delivered from its siitanic .sorceries. Tempor izing policies are a failure. Under nil systems of license regulation or tax, tho work of ruin and death goes on. The prohibition of the liquor traf fic is tho doinand of the people, and politicians and statesmen who fail to heed It are treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath. Prohibi tion is in the air. Nothing can resist the onward march of a genuine reform. Kverv hitch movement enters into and lie conies a part of the Messianic pur port to set judgment in tho earth. Agitation on this question is the duty of tho hour. Let it go from presH, platform and pulpit, in the prayer-meet lugs, ami at the ballot box, until every patriot who loves ids country, every Christian wlio loves his God, every philanthropist who loves hUrace, every father who loves his child, every son of the re public will, a marshalled host, up lift the constitution a-a banner of reform and under Its folds march to tho ballot-boxes of the land, and un der an avelanehe of freemen's ballots bury beyond resurrection the Amer ican saloon. Then shall our whole union Ivconie the citadel of sobriety, the national name be purged of this groHt shame, and our glorious banner, "WtHta lew amKll uf ttvu lis rw( ifttMiu mK aje; TIM wUHimi. uf tk whnm Th biu rf Humtliw ski NEW ADVEnTlSEMKJfTS.
