According to the promise *nale lost week,
" we lesorne CAT exposure ut GENUAL PACK- )
■ EU'S views ami votes on th* Maine Liquor
Law which passed the Senate iu 1852, as
exhibited by the Journal of the Senate fur
that year.
On the 3d March, 1852, Mr. Oarothers,
from the Committee ou Vice and Immorali
ty, reported' Senate Bill, No. 419, entitled j
"„? act to piohibil the manufacture and \
sale of intorienting liquor*.'' See Senate ,
Journal, Vol. 1. p. 303.
March 18th, a motion was made to con
sider the bill. This was objected to, aud j
the orders of iLe lay called. A motion ;
was then made to suspeud the orders to get !
at the consideration of the bti!. On this
motion the yeas and nays were called, when
the yeas were-89 and the nays 11, so the
■ notion was lost, —two-thirds being necessa
ry to suspend the orders. On this motion
PACKER voted yea. bee Sen. Jour., 1 ul.
I,p 480. |
March 22d, the bill was taken up for
consideration: and on the question whether
the first section should pass, the yea* and
nuys were called, and the section passed by
a vote of 19 yeas to 14 nays. PACKER be- j
ing one of the yeas, bee ben. Jour., Vol.
I, p. 5 Id.
The bill was further debated and consid
ered during that day, and the day follow
in", as appears by the aauie volume of the
Journal, at pages 515, 532, 533. &c., aud
the yeas and nays were frequently called on
different sections of the bill, and in every
instance the name of IV JI. K. PACKER IS
found recorded in Jamr cJ the bill, and
along with the names of the other warm
friends of ihat prohibitory Liquor law.
March 315t—1852, the sections haviug
been all agreed to, the bill cuuie up oil its
final passage; and on the question, "shall
"the bill pass' The yeas aud nays were
"required by Mr. Crabb aud Mr. PACKER, ■
' and were as follows: viz:
"YEAS. Messrs. Barnes, Carothers, Oui
"son, l'lvans, Foruon, Guernsey, Hamilton,
♦ Hauilin, llaslett, Lioge, McFarlaud, Me
"Murtrie, .Malone, PACKKK, llobertsou
"Sanderson, and Slifer. ; —l7.
"Nays. Messrs. Bailey, Buckulow, Crabb,
"Darlington, Frailty, Fulton, Jones, Kiu
"zer, Kunkel, McCaslin, Matthias, Muhlen
"burg, Myers, b'uimer, and Walker, Xpeak
"er —15.
"So the question was determined in the
affirmative." See Senate Journal, of 1852 '
Vol. 1, p. Gl2.
Such is GENERAL WM. F. PACKER'S
recoid in the Senate of 1852, and such are
his votes upon the subject of the prohibi
tory liquor law which passed the Senate
that year, as proved by the Journal of the
* Senate, which is the only authorized record
of proceedings. And yet his . p-irtizan
friends, and the unptineipled press which
supports him for Governor, are moan enough
and reekless cnongb, to deny that ho is cr
ever was in favor of prohibition, and rouud
ly abuse all who asssrt that he voted for
prohibitory liquor laws. We say again, we
have these Seuate Journals in our office, i
and can show them, day, and date, and !
page, to any man who wishes to see them. '
or who desires to know the whole truth on j
this subject. And we will here remark that j
not only did Genl. Packer u.aJrs speeches j
in the Senate in favor of the bill, and vote ;
as here proved, but according to the well
reiutuibered logic of the Bedford Gazette, j
he save the casting vote on the final passage i
•of this monstrous .Maine Liquor faw. \
For on looking at the Glial vote, it will be j
observed the bill passed by 17 yeas to 15 j
nays. Consequently if Genl. Packer bad !
voted nay, the bill would have been defeat
ed on its final passage, by a lie vote, and
evidently his vote for the bill was what sa
ved it.
llut the same recklessness am] disregiwd
of the truth which has heretofore denied
that Packer was a prohibitionist, may also I
deny that the hill which passed the Senate I
in 1852 was a prohibitory Maine Law. !
The biil was undo op of fifteen sections,
and is therefore too long for publication
entire, but irrorder that all doubts may be I
removed on this poiut, and all mouths stop
ped, we will give our readers some extracts ,
from the bill as specimens. As before sta
ted, it was entitled, ".In .let to prohibit
the. manufacture and sals of intoxicating
liquors ." And to demonstrate that the bill :
itself corresponded with the title, wo pub
lish the first three sections of it, as follows: j
Sec. 1. Br it enacted, fee. That no person
shall he allowed at any time, to manufacture, or
sell, by himself, his clerk, servant, or agent, j
directly or indirectly, any intoxicating liquor*,
whetk- r the same he spirituous, vinous, or !
malt, or a mixture of the same, or any of them, ,
or af.y other liquor possessing intoxicating
properties, except as hereinafter provided. !
SEC. 2. the judges of the court uf Quarter j
Sessions, and the County Commissioners, on
ihe first Monday of July, annually, or as soon I
thereafter a* may be convenient, may appoint '
suitable persons of well-known, honest, tem
perate, and stber habits, to buy, or roanufac-I
tufoand sell at some convenient point in such !
ot Hie Townships, boroughs, and cities, within
the county, as they may deem expedient and I
jWoper, vines find other liquors, for sacramental, |
medicinal, mechanical and artistic*! purposes,
SMI fOR NO OTHER t'IBI'OSES WH tfTSOE VKtt.
Such jiersou shall Ue ajqioint*for the term Of •
one year, but may be remove. 1 at any time at ■
the pleasure of said judges ; • d commissioners
for violatingthis act.
SEC 3. That each perso"- appointed to sell
liquors as aforesaid, simll k ;ep an accurate ac
count in writing of all ' e liquor bought or
manufactured by him, specifying the quantity
of each kind purchased or manufactured, the
price of that purchased, the name of the person
Irom whom it was purchased, and the date of
the purchase, the quantify of each kind sold,
and the date of the sale, its price, the name,
residence, arid occupation of the person to
whom it was sold, and the purpose for witicli it
was purchased by Itiui; aud lie. shaft cause Ikf
pcrs-n to irliom the sale is made, to sign the said
specification at the end thereof; be shall serai*
a! Ml illy, if required, on a day and at a place
t<> fea appointed by said judges an*! commis
sioners, whereof public notice shall he given in
one or more newspapers published in the coun
ty,-exhibit ujion his oath or solemn affirmation
the book or books in which said account and
sjiectßcation are kept, to 'he said fudges and
commissioners, together with a balance sheet
showing the quantity of -ach kind of liquor
bought and sold by him during the period
which has elapsed sinee his last exhibit, and the
aggregate cost and proceeds thereof; and if it
shall appear to the said judges and commis
sioners that the profits of said business amount
to more than what would be a fair and just
compensation for transacting the same, they
shali fix the amount to lie retained by him for
such compensation, and shall requii'e him to
W the surplus to the Treasurer of the county
for the use of the Commonwealth.
fee. 4 I'rovidea for the giving of a cer
tificate of appointment to tfio persou au-
thorized to sell, upon his giving Loud with
at least two sureties in the penal sum of
five hundred dollars, conditioned lor bis
faithful observauee of the law,&c.
See. 5. Imposes fines of from thirty to
two hundred dollars, & costs, for violations
of tho act together with mtudry terms of
imprisonment of net less than two, nor more
than six months.
Such are the first three sections of this
beautiful liquor law iu full, and the sub
stance of the fourth and fifth; and we doubt
not they are more than sufficient to satisfy
all tliat a mote ultra, radical, out and out
prohibitory law was uever passed in the
State of illaine or anywhere else. It not
only prohibits the sale, under severe penal
ties, of all sorts of liquors, and by every
quantity great or small, except "for sacra
mental, medicinal, mechanical, aud artisti
cul purposes," but it absolutely prohibits
the manufacture of any and all liquors, ex
cept for the put poses just mentioned. If
this be not prohibitiou with a vengeance, we j
know not what would be. A subsequent
section gives the right of search aud the
right to siete and destroy the liquors kept
contrary to the act; and in short, the law
seems to contain in itself all the ultraismou
this subject that were ever he ird of, aud
some others which strike us as entirely new
and original, especially that registry which
is to be "signed at the eud therof" by the
man who purchases tho liquor, slating Jer
what purpose he gets it.
We have now given our readers a true
aud full explanation of Genl. Packers views,
votes, aud position as a prohibitory liquor
law tuan; aud we will await with pleasure
such explanations as bis pariizun friends
may manufacture for this desperate emer
gency.
But for the great length of our article we
would finish it off with a few choice extracts
from the Bedford Gazette, showing what an
infamous and unconstitutional outrage it is,
aud what a narrow-souled, and diabolical
fanaticism it exhibits, for any man to speak
or vote for a prohibitory liquor law. We
will at our leisure hunt these matters up al
so, and in the mean time console ourselves
with the reflection that for the proper use
of a few choice extracts there is uo doubi
"a good time coming."
