The. -Good Templars' retition We noted in legislative proceedings ' last week the presentation of a petition of the Good Templet's of Penneylvania, asking fort tlie supression of the liquor traffic. We regret that this petition is too long to he published entire in these columns. However we give some ex tracts from it which , speak directly to the point. The petition sets forth that the license system is a nuisance and proceeds: What we complain of is that the re tailer of intoxicating drinks enjoys spe cial privileges, under cover of which he seeks his own private emolument, to the manifest injury of the public welfare. Unlike other citizens, he can inflict incalculable damage upon society, with out being held responsible. He makes money by dealing destruction around him, and the statute gives him an ex clusive right to the work of ruin in his neighborhood. This we regard as a sad perversion of the powers of government. By this law-authorized occupation, he can instigate men to the commission of the most horrid outrages and the most diabolical enormities. He can make widows and orphans, and paupers, and felons, with impunity. lie can make rich men destitute, wise men fools, re spectable men loafers, good, men bad s and bad men worse, without check or hindrance. He can levy a turn-pauper tax, and compel people who never drink rum topay it. He can levy a rum-crimi nal tax, and force sober men and wo men to ehear the unnatural and cruel burden. He is permitted by taw to take money for a poisonous and deba sing article, while for a much less of fence, the provision dealer is indicted and punished. - For sordid gain he may infuriate his customers with drink, un til they commit assaults and batteries. lirderuas and murders; but unlike other criminals he escapes, while the, law inflicts its vengeance on the poor dupe of his guilty traffic. This we re geed as a flagrant wrong and a glaring absurdity. ; it is overlooking a cause, and striking a cowardly and useless blow at an effect ; it is letting the prin cipal go, and punishes the agent. It not unfrequently happens that the rumseller himself is called to sit upon the very jury which is empannelled to try one of his own victims for a crime committed under the maddening influ ence of his liquor. What a scene to be enacted in the sacred name of justice! In our opinion there would he little violation of righteous principle in com pelling such a juror to chane places with the criminal at the bar. But what renders such trials a still greater farce, is the revolting fact that the same court who sits in judgment on the wretched rum-matte culprit, grants a license to the rumseller to pursue his demoral ising vocation. Can such things be and not excite our special wonder? How long, or in other words, how much lon ger, will the Legislature of this enlight ened State permit such monstrous ano malies such iniquitous enactments, to disfigurei our laws, and Shed blight and mildew upon a suffering people? "We say this because we know we• are dealing with a matter in which the innocent are forever doomed to suffer with the guilty, and we would call your special attention to the fact that the in nocent "are the greatest sufferers. The most frightful accidents and casualities are constantly happening from intoxi cation ; horses are driven by persons , inflamed by liquor through town and country, at the' top of their speed, endangering the lives and property of all in their way ; fire is carelessly lean-. dled by drunken men, and extensive conflagrations are the consequence. We have no security against such disasters 1 so long as the law remains as it is.. We cannot enter a stage coach, railroad car, steamboat, or packet ship, without put- ' ting our lives in jeopardy from the be sotted heedlessness of drivers, engineers pilots and captains. How many steam ers loaded with human beings have been blown to atoms •, how many ships freighted with untold wealth have been foundered in the ocean; how many cit ies., laid in ashes, through the direct and indirect agency of alcohol ? There is no safety for any one in soci ety, male or female, old or young, rich or poor, where intoxicating liquors are sold as a beverage. Whether at home or abroad, riding or walking, lying down or sitting up, the life property and happi ness of every human being, endau gered the continuance of this horrible traffic. We ask to be protected from this state of things. Vtie believe it is in your power to protect us by the pass age of a law forbidding the sale of such beverages, and we feel that we have a right to claim this much at your hands. It was for such protection as this that our Government was organized ;- it is for this that we pay our taxes and bear thtepublic burdens. We know it is contended that taverns are necessary for the public accomoda tion, and that they cannot be kept without the privilege of selling liquor. We grant that public houses are needed, but deny that more are necessary than can live by supplying the real wants of the public. Are we boundto foster base appetites and depraved habits, in order to suoure a sufficient number of taverns. As well might it be argued that we are bound to take medicine when we are not sick, in order that the public be womodated with physicians and apoth ecaries when wanted. Thatthepresent number of taverns could not be suppor ted if confined to the useful pain of their business, is quite probable. e Granting this, it follows that at this time there are more taverns than the public con venience and public good require. And what else does it show? Why, clearly that the whole excess over and above what is really eequired for the public accomodation, which, for aught we know, may be one-half of the whole number, owe their existence to a traffic whidialteither promotes nor seeks to promote thepublic good—e. traffic which is not only a waste of all the money it involves but which is the source ,of near/YAW:the Poverty. crime and suffer ing ehetrixisesin th.C: Etate. The Public , wants tiveres, and must and will so- 1 port *p many and such as are needte but they do not want dram-selling to ems. netter a thousand times weed e d it be to have none at all, than to lit , such as produce infinitely more evil' than gooa. We are aware that the render pleads poverty as an excuse for continuing the traffic. He says he must sell liquor to support his family. This we deny. We do not believe that Providence has so ordered things that men cannot live without preying upon each other. Ninety-nine out pf a hundred of our people live without the privilege, and think it no hardship. As well might we rave everlasting war among the na tions of the earth, for the mere purpose of giving steady employment and high wages to officers and soldiers, or as well might the makers of idols in heathen lands opposed the introduction ofelpiet- Malty because it would spoil their teade. But if those engaged in the Homer bus iness cannot -support themselves and their families by some honest and use ful vocation, then we say let the public support them. We would much rather be taxed to maintain titan than the paupers and criminate which they are constantly throwing upon the public. We are willing to bear all necessary burdens, but we are tired of sustaining. the onrceSiste load which is heaped upon us by a legalized vice." • - itatc, WELLBBOEO, PENN'A WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY, 21, 1866 With wales toward none, with cnAttrri for ALL, with firmness in the RIGHT, let usAtrire to finish the work we.are in. to- hind np the nation's , woundq, to care for him who dial( 'hate horns the Gatos, and for hie widow and orphans, and to do all which may achieve and chelish a Just and letting peace among oureelvee ,and with all nations —A..

Had we believed it Possible for both branches of the Legislature to pass so unwise 'II Measure we should have raised a protesting voice against it ere this. The precedent is a bad one. The rigors of war, are hard and bitter, but they must be borne by those upon whom they fall. Let this measure triumph and next session ! ' will witness a new batch of like bills for the relief of vari 7 OILS people who suffered by the rebel raids. This kind of legislation should be throttled at once. Kill it. . It is to be hoped that some friend of humanity will hunt up some small case of assault and battery wherein Senator COWAN may be employed for the plaint iff. The'sooner he resumes practice be fore a Justice of the Peace the better it will be for the country. Those who read his argument against negro suf frage, in which - he opposes it on the ground that ,white men will break the negro's head, will surely agree with us. If the negro race are possessed of skulls half as thick as Senator Cowan's that argument will pass for nothing. WHO - ISRAEL BE GOVERNOR? Fair play, however hard it bear upon us personally, we delight In. Misrepre -sentation, vicious misconstruction, con cealment of pertinent facts, and vicious misstatements, in general and in par ticular,—against these, separately and collectively, we protest. Therefore we complain of the Pitts burg Gazette, which, in its zeal for Moorhead, takes occasion to misrepre sent the facts touching publicsentitaent throughoutthe Commonwealth. When it states that such sterling Geary pa pers as the Muncy Luminary, and Jer-• sey Shore Vidette, are flying Moorehead's name at the head of their columns, it states what is a patent blunder; to call it by no harsher name. Neither of these . : papers have ever wavered in their advo cacy of Gen. Geary as the candidate of the Union men of the State. And the obliquity of vision which caused the Gazette to discern what had no visible existence, leads us to doubt if more than' one, or at most two, of the remaining journals named in the list of Moorhead papers, are supporting that worthy pub_ lie servant for the GovernshiP.. We now reiterate our decided prefer-, enee for Gen. Jottri W. GEARY as the, nominee of the Convention to be held. in Harrisburg on - the 7th of March next:" We do this, for the reason that he seems; to us to be the best man' named in con nectioq with the place. Against Messrs. Moorhead, Ketchum, and - Cessna, we have r no word derogatory to write. They are givery worthy men, good Repub licans, good citizens, and honorable, so far as we are advised. Brit- neither of these gentlemen is superior to- Gen, Geary in these requisites, while neith;i er of them is his equal in respect to sera. vice in the field. From the beginning we said, and to die end we will reiter ate—that, other qualifications 'being equal, the man who bears the scars of the great war of the century, deserves, and shall have, our hearty preference for public place and civil honors. Knowing Gen. Geary to be eminently qualified intellectually and morally, we therefore did, and do still prefer him, above all others named. He understands, and is as zealous fob•, the interest of the Commonwealth, ss any man in her borders. He is °pent* pledged to the full protection of her it;- terest by tariff regulations. He is a ni tive of (and a resident as well) the wes tern part of the State—Westinorelan.d County—and in that respect must prove acceptable to the Western counties.' Add to these facts the other and not less powerful fact, his services in the late war for freedom, and there is no man in the State who can compete with him for public favor. The hero of fifty desperately-fought fields, always foremost in battle, and never vanquish ed, he wears his honors and his scars modestly, as becomes a brave man, and deserves the highest recognition the people of Pennsylvania can give him. Mr. Ketchum, of Luzerne, is a very good man ; he. is true as steel and hits considerable strength in several cotin ties. But his reputation is local, siot general, and his location the reverse of favorable to his nomination. The nor thern portion of the State has had the Governorship for nine years. The West has not had a Governor in nearly twice that number of years, unless Bigler be counted to the credit of the West. In a State so large in area, with such vast and varied resources and interests, something Must be deferred to locality. It is not thgt, a western man is expect ed to favor that portion of the State in Particular, but that being reared among, and identified with, its various indus trial interests, he may be supposecito carry v. - ith him, into the office, fivsh, zeal in the promotion of the COMI4O/1 interest. So much, then, we subr t ait, ought to control in the choice of a can didate. Against Mr. Moorehead we haiienot one word to say. He is a man of more than ordinary abilities, and has served the country hip councils during many year , .i. His particular friends claim for him superiority to any other named. We do not agree with-them. We 're gard Gen. Geary as a man of excellent executive abilities, and in every respect equal to Mr. Morehead. He is a fine - speaker_popular in his, manners, and wguld carry the State overwhelmingly. He can be elected with less labor than any other man. And that is something of 'an object-to- those who triennially ro,'d up their sleeves and bid farewell to their wives and children during the Gubernatorial canvass. We earnestly ask that the working men of the party be- heard in a matter so fraught with labor to them. It is their right to. de mand consideration on this point: It _makes a difference whether the candi date must be carried, or whether he can carry himself. We therfore enter an earnest: protest against the control sought to be exer cised by the men who stand by to catch the fat places in the gift of th e Executiye and who do nothing to elect him save tW shout and. swing their hats like a pireel of lazy boys. t!To show that we are not alone in our preference we cite attention to the fact that the Lancaster Examiner, Lancas ter Express, Philadelphia Press, Read ing, Record,-Greensbuyg Herald, Har risburg Telegraph, Muney Luminary, Jersey Shore Vidette, McKean Miner, Potter Journal, Dauphin Register, and many other leading papers iu their region of the State, all advocate the nomination of Geu. Geary. XXXIXth Congress- - -Ist Session. Our synopsis commences with Feb tuary 8.
