For the lust few yearrf past, t It ir? important qucftion has been at itsue, and every year, undoubtedly notes a gradually increasing influence over the people in general. Like every other measure inl induced, it has its fiipportoiH and opj iu nls, and in (his ninth r, peradvctiture, the latter is greatly superior in numbers to the for mer, lint not stronger in that ardent zeal which inspires its adherents to put forth their greatest ellbrt. This mat ter may be considered in a number of wave liit. in a financial view; second, in it criminal view; thiid, in a moral view, and fourth, in a. social viov,-. Xrnv. the wav in which it edicts the people in general, is the social calamity , it causes, and in that view it should be considered by society j while that class j .. 1.. ...1. .. ....I. It. li.i.-ti.ir flu. t III pCUpiU IIW lllll HIU ', IMIWHH iin- piohibition ticket defeated, should ar gue the case to their own interest. So in a social view of the case, we cannot refrain from saying a few words. In the first place, the only position one can take is, that the sale of intox icating liijuors is a decided injuiy to society. This question is not for po litical pnrtica to consider. If docs not appertain to politic in any sense of the word, but fatally -licet the interest of society. It telling eU'ect may be recognized in every community in the United Shite. See that poor, struggling uian-brtite, hi eye bluodsbot, hi face nglov from the burning essence of bad whiskey, bis clothe torn and muddy, and hi general appearance indicating the low est typo of humanity; his wile and hungry ehildtcn weeping and wailing bisiet'urn to their empty mid ehcerles home. Hi children are. clolhed in rag's; grow up on the sheet corners, to an age when they can prowl and steal for a scanty and miserable living. Their wives are slave to a master limit! cruel and wicked than ever a southern slave dieained of. Is not this degrading to society? Can that per fect sjate of harmony exisl which is the foundation of a pleasant stati of society? Where children me' begging for a morsel of bread to quell that ra gin appetite, c.une:l by a grog shop and poor mothers are entreating and begging for a little work to do in order to feed her starving babe at, home, can net n in belter circumstance enjoy themselves, or can an equal state of cniovnient be nossibl Young men glow up under the stilling inlluenceof the saloons, indulge in drinking bad whiskey, and finally, in I In- nriiiic oi lilt, wnen mcir nisi dollar ha' been tossed over the they take to crime as a last resort livinir. and so end in a drtinl ; & kaid' grave, or on the gallows, a life which might .otherwise have been -in honor to the huniaii race. If the sale of intoxicating liquor In creases in the coming century in-in Uie last, pireiiis will be dead drunk all the time, and children will be born drunk. The advance of the monster should be cbeel o 1, or our penitentiaries will be overt u i, ami the social condition of Ibis r public will be -perfectly demor alized. Crime and vice will increase tn mi iivtent. which will threaten llie government, if a check rein is not, juit Oil t his 11 111.' ItT with .tl II t llOl t. t illlC. Of course the people nave tlie power to check it hy vote, but if no attention should be '11a id to it, then the final I coiiM-qiionces will be terrible. .Morali 1 ty and virtue will give place to degre l d'alioii and"crinie, and such a change , will not be lieuelieial to the high slauil j ing of the inhabitant of Ibis grand I repnblje. Some measure should bo ta I ken to check the advance of tho sale of liquor. Communities should take up the matter and crush it in ceitain ' district if the general vote doc not deliver the state.
