The repeal-of the Liquor-Law of Jag sess
ion 1 •
_!
isitne greatest topi6;of interest,'• brought
before the ;Legialaturei - this winter. Your
readers, - of course, are aware that - a Bill for
the repeal Of the I Jug . Law" - Was introduced
in. the 'Howie, early in the session, .and passed,
.that, branch without 'ranch diflictilts, and
went to the; Senate. It Passed - that body with
amendments-and went to the House for-con
currence, and has . .ngaini , pris,ed the House,
with amendments, and gone: to the Senate..
There ia , a d iversity of opinions here in,regard
to it. Some thihk the . law . of last session
just andlrig,ht,--.otherslsay the State -should
not have‘beendiSgraced by so mean nn .act,
others say . it is an exact jearblance of the
know nothings who gave it to ns: and that,
; -
,they shOuld„ feel proud of their offspring and
nourish it with all-eare,--and now that- we
have•got-it we should give it a- fair trial.--.
With this latter class I fully agree, and think
the trial; I4s been given, and that the- bill
has b,een fOund unfair, a s well its unn ecessary.
Considerable. I interest iSe cited' on the
