- Tue Maixb EtEOTios. Much ado ia being
made by the Liquor Leagues, and the oppo
nents of Prohibition generally, about the re
sult of tue recent election in Maine. The sim
ple fact that but one member of the Legisla
ture of that State, who voted for the passage
of the Liquor Law, has been re-elected, is
held forth us conclusive evidence that the sen
timents of the people Iwrve undergone an en
tire change, and the result is regarded as an
indication that the reign of that Liw is over.
Gwvc discussions are had over it, und even
ridicule and ribaldry are resorted to unspa
ringly, by those who would rejoice at the
downfall of a priuciple so glorious as was in
volved in that lawv The opposition papers
teeni with squibs ; and paragraphs, while the
orators and devotees of the rum interest ure in
ecstacies, and anticipate th.it it must have' a
powerful effect upou the coming election in
this State. It seems almost cruel in us to
knock away with one blow the beautiful prop
our enemies have thus set up to sustain their
tottering fabric, but the love of truth and "the
cause we cherish commands us to do so. ' In
the first place, then, the question of the repeal
of the present Liquor L:tw of Maine was in Uo
way made an issue at the recent election in
that State The issues before the people, and
upon which that election turned, were entirely
distinct f rom the question of temperance in
any shape. Principles purely political, meas
ures, of importance to the State, and, in some
instances, men rather than measures or princi
ples, were what guided and controlled the peo
ple of Maine during their receut canvass and
at the polls. " In their late sublime devotion
to the single cause of prohibition, othor mat
ters ol importance had become somewhat neg
lected, and to these it became necessary ' to
attend. It was not, therefore, polic3" to re
turn the same men to the Legislature who bad
been originally sent there to carry out a sin
gle object, many of whom, perhaps, were . not
fully calculated to legislate on general sub
jects. Ot course, also, those men had brought
themselves into odiura with the opposers of
the law, and it was better, under all the cir
cumstances, that an entirely new class should
be selected, and we cannot but applaud the
wisdom of the people of Maine in pursuing
this course. But, as we said before, the ques
tion of repeal was in ho w ise an issue . at the
election. And then, in the second place, to
break the prop in pieces after having pulled
it down, the very men who have been elected
are just as good temperance men as those
composing the Legislature which created the
presetit law. Ys have this on the most relia
ble authority. They even claim to be better
men, and stronger advocates of the cause of
temperance. They avowed these sentiments!
openly, before and during the canvass, and on J
such avowal received the advocacy ana sup
port of the people and were elected. How ab
surd, then, to claim the result of that election
as a triumph of the anti-Maine law men! It
is completely falsifying the. record, and buil
ding a structure on the rottenest foundation
imaginable. If onr opponents can bring to
bear no better arguments, no truer facts than
these, they must indeed feel that their cause
is hopeless. VetrustTthat our friends through
out the State will give the extremest publicity
to this true version of the case, and thus coun
teract what little evil may have been done by
such perverted statements.
" Thu IsqcuitioS AT Work.. John Weikert,
a consistent Democrat aud the ellicietit aud
excellent Poatmaster at Greenniount, Adams
county has been removed; and Daniel Kee
fauver appointed in his stead. As Mr. Wei
kert is not a 'Know Nothiug,' . his removal
could not at first be accounted for. But at !
last, the reasons are known. We find them in j
the last Gettysburg Zt.tr. Read the suljoined:
v We have learned that some two or three
weeks ago, a gentleman, representing himself
to be a Mr. Ellis, Editor of the "Organ," a
Know Nothing pper published ut Washington,
drove up to Mr. Weikert's store, and profess
ed to be very solicitous to gain accurate in
formation as to the strength and progress of
the Know Nothing movement in Adams coun
ty. Mr. Weikert was unable, to give the re
quisite Information. The stranger wanted to
know how much 'money 'might be" used to ad
vantage in the, approaching political caai.vass
Mr. Weikert replied tlyit he did not think the
votes of our people could be influenced by
money that they were generally intelligent
and thinking men, and could not be bought. 1
The latter was then asked whether he would -promptly
deliver any Know Nothing p ipers
that might be sent to the office to which he
replied that of course, as Posttn istei , he would
regard it "his duty to deliver all papers sent to
his otJice with names endorsed on them.
Whereupon the str inger drove off, net, how
ever, without having bad a conference with
Keefauver, the accomplished successor of Mr.
Weikert. This "Mr. Ellis," who, by-the-hv,
has a rich Irish brogue to betray his mission;
had a companion with him, who, however, lid
not make his appearance during the confer-,
ence with Mr. Weikert, but rejoin-.-d the bug
gy a few hundred yards from the store, and
the two drove oil'. Mr. Weikert's next infor
mation on the subject was a notification from
Postmaster General Campbell, that his servi
ces were no longer needed ! '-
These are sober, substantial facts, every word
of which we are prepared to prove, if coutra
dicted. We dare a denial. The inference is
irresistabk- that this Mr. "Ellis" was no other
man than a spy in the employ of Mr. Camp
bell and his Jesuit advisjrs, traveling through
the country, and seeking to prostitute the Post
Office Department to Jesuit purposes. Who
doubts that if Mr. Weikert h id evinced a pro
per disposition to destroy Know Nothing pa
yers and refuse to deliver them, he would nev
er have baen reported to Mr. Campbell, and
still be Postmaster at Greenniount 1 We leave
these facts to the reader. They are impreg
nant with important thoughts, and justly de
man I attention. Fellow citizens the Inqui
sition is at work, in your midst! Look to your
rights!

Aural Surgery has not met with that attention

by ''Medical Vapors" particularly in chronio or

of Aural Surgery; such cases yielding in almost '
every instance to this new and powerful agent. -This
