EPITIIH, Sir: lam pleased to see your paper always free to articles on the liquor question. Why don't those men who sign petitions for jicense, favor ; us with HOUIC reasons, why we should i havo license in Uutler county ? The | question is open for discussion, and now, j while there is no excitement on the sub* j ject is certainly the time for the whiskey j uien to couie forward and show cause,why j we should have license. They choose I darkness mther than light: their cause | will admit of no argument, sate, such as j can be used in the "dark cellar," where | the law is violated, and men made <Je j mons, and tl\pn pointed to as examples of | the "necettity for license '' Why don't I they point to every iLStance of horse stealing, and demand that men be licens ed to steal horses ; because horses will be Btq/en. I Would it not be as legitimate for the i gQVcrnniept to make money out of man's I propensity to steal, as out of his propen sity to sell or drink poison? Which is ihe greater crime—to murder, or steal ? 1 The license system is a premium upou the ' part of tjhc Stste for the cultivation of all tli-G evil passions of depraved human 1 nature. If you want to make a husband J cross and disagreeable; it you want to ' make a ton foolish and reckless; if you | want to make a wife and mother miscra -1 blc; if you want to clothe a family in ! rags, and Spread their table with pover ty; if you want to make a quiet town a den of howling demons—l know of no | instrument so potent, for the work, as a I licensed bar ; where Tom will say, come, ) John, let us have a drink, in memory of ! old times." Now, "Tom, it is your treat." J "Come boys, John, Bill, Sam, here npw, | Jim, take some ; auoth.er glass, Landlord, j—What will you have 'boys.'" Here I is the evil of license, it brings the pois on right to the public parlor. The Land- I lord and his Lackeys always mould the i atmosphere of the Barr Room, so that a man is no man at all if he don't treat; and in this vav, the best moo —whole- souled, generous, clever creatures arc led to drink, lest the Landlord, or some of their fellows, would think thcru churlish, stingy, narrow-hearted. Thus ; the li censed Barr, from day to -day corrupts tkc most gifted and generous youth of the State, who, under proper training, might fill honorable position! in life; but in a whiskey at mosphere, they will never fill anything but a drunkard's grave aud ! drunkard's hell. Some men are so fool ish as to say . "Give us license, it will help to pay the Nation's debt." Well, suppo ;c a mar. earns three doll irs per Jay, 1 after he has labored hard all day, he goes nearest Barr Room, meet? his ! neighbors, has a pleasant time, drinks a ' quart of whisky, goes home, feels bad, ' scolds the family, whips the wife, vomits ! on the carpet,•feel» sick, can't work next ! d&y, falls out with his neighbors, gets into ' a fight, gets a sorehead, &e.. &c. Well, the tax on the quart ot whisky was fifty cents , now, would not the Government he doing a kinduess if it would tax the mau fifty cents, and not manufacture the temptation and place ii before him? Even if the man only lost one day's work he would gain two dollars and fifty oeats by paying his tax and drinkiag no whiskey. Our county is yet new ; what we want is more labor, to tame the wilderness, drain die swamp, cultivate the field, de velop the mine; but whoever heard ol a man niakiug a* country Tieb , by stand ingbehind a board—watching his chance to take Ten cents out of his neighbor's pocket, and pour poison in his stomaah taking the very dis?e that might have carried a copy bf the Last Will and TCB tifflent #f Jesus Christ to solre worship er of idols within the reach of our Mis sionaries. Alas ! how can men profess* ing Christianity, sanction a Dram Shop? The fact is, there has been a great rev -1 olutioD in public opinion in this connty lately on the liquor question, and revo lutions never go backward. Tho major ity arc bound to rule, aud an overwhelm ing majority of the people of Butler coun ty are opposed to license. It is no party matter ; it is a matter of right and wrong, and a man that will not cease to do a wrong thing, because it is wrong, will not do a right thing becaose it is right. The time is about gone when it is to be considered honorable to take the firo that should warm the children's feet—to burn the father's stomach and seer his con> science and dry up his tender affections. Mansion houses are no longer respect- I jk't'e when-built with cakes, stolen from the mouths of little childicn, that live in squalid hovels of misery. l'iuunis no longer give qweet music, when every key but ri-echocs the dying groan of the drunkard, or the wailing sob,s of his wid ow, or the crips of the orphan. Silk dresses no longer shine when every ruffle tells but of some ragged orphaq child, doomed to degradation, misery and want. Our county is improving, and I know there are many ladios in this town, who, like myself, feel that they canndt express their thankfulness to the gc,od citizens, and especially to the good Judges, who saved us the nuisance of half a dozen dram shops. Now, that we are getting along quiet ly. I would ask what good is to be accom plished by granting license ? Is the widow, the orphan, the lame, the blind, the well, the sick, the citizen, qr the traveler, or any person else, to bo bene fited ? If we have no vote, I hope we will always have a hearing on the license question. We never bad such an order ly, quiet town as we have had for the hist year- No good neighbor, citizen or christian will sign a petition to place us as a com munity at the mereyof King Alcohol. If others do, we give notice that the ladies of Butler will again be heard from. EMMA. Butler, February Ist 1867. JFpr the C'mxsx. MR. EDITOR :—I presume it is some time since you have heard from the little village of CentreviUe. We arc still alive aud moving iu the line of improvement. Our village is bound to be something yet, in the eyes of the traveling community. We have one tin shop jyitb any amount of tin ware, and toys of every descrip tion ; three dry goods stores, qne grocery store, one fancy store, two uiillinery es tablishment, three blacksmith shops, one chair shop, one tailor shop, one cabinet shop, two wagon shops, and one foundry. We have three churches, —one Metho dist, one Presbyterian, and one United I'resbyteriau ; two schools, No. 1, taught by Mr. Sullivan, No. 2, by Mr. Pattet son. These are welt and are in a flourishing condition. W r c liave two taverns, both on the decline, so far as sell ing liquor is concerned. One more strug gle, such as they passed through last spring, will end their mortal career, for the good people of this place and vicin~ ity have determined to pift a stop to the sale of iutoxicating drinks. The work of reform has fairly commenced since liq uor has been banished from the place.— I'he laidies, who took an active part in remonstrating against tbe sale of the soul-destroying beverage in our midst, have often been made to bluab at the abusive an i vulgar language of t'le rum suckers who infest those places where the intoxicating draught was formerly Bold, particularly, has this been the case w : th certain widows who had just caute, and were active iu their cjusrtiont to free our community of the evil consequences re suiting from the use of l : quor These vile persecutors should hide their guilty heads, or goto the depths of the forest amongst the vneivilizcd Lilians. They should be ashamed to vent their rage on the widows and orphans, aud particularly against rtiose whose husbauds and fathers suffered and died in the defense of their country; better, far better, lend » helping baud to them, than try t« injure them. I have sat and listened to these men utitil my blood boiled with rnge, but dare not say a word, for they are of such a disposition that their revenge would havo been hurled at mc with a two fold vengeance. But those brave women bore it all without a murmur; and they arc determined that if their voice oau be heard, the vile traffic shall bo kept from this place. It is their fondest hope and fervent prayer, that the Judges of the Butler Court will never grant license to another tavern or drinking saloon in Cen treviUe. Since intoxicating drinks have ceased to bq Bold here, men who were in the habit of drinking, look better, work better, and are better. Their wives, poor heart broken creatures, are beginning to lcxjk cheerful and happv, and they are begin- think of taste and comfort. New houses are being built, old ones remod deled, and work is going on with a rush. So much for reform, God bless the wid ows, and all the ladies who lend a help ing hand in the work of reformation.
