U. fnd ttie Editor claims no part or credit for the same.] , M :; _ The Idonue System a Falsehood. | - That our license system restrains in­ temperance is a falsehood so bald that it excites our special wonder. The very mucliinery of drunkenness not responsi- ; .ble for the products of its movements! Our authorities might as well circulate the virus of the small-pox, and then , claim that their action was designed to remove the infection! Or make the breeding of vipers a lawful business, for ' r the sake of suppressing the reptiles! The intemperance which shadows our land and race, is the legitimate effect of regu lation. None will pretend that illicit whisky is more apt to produce drunken- i ness than that of the licensed dramshop. :; The 500,000 drunkards of this nation are creatures of law. Fifty thousand of : them probably, every twelve months, die ; by law. By these new graves, while look­ ing upon the beggared hosts of widow- hood and orphanage; upon our squalid j ; paupers and hardened felons; the army of living drunkards; in the midst of wide- / spread violence and litigation; of mur­ der by day and assassination by night, the friends of this system still advocate ? ; "regulation." Such have been the re­ sults of more than two • ages o! regula- . > tion. In the name of humanity how many ages more will it need to make a L wrong right, and its effects harmless --Thurlow W.
