Every H eiam of oar etitoros would partake of the benefits of a wise imatameut of capital, aad non* more thaa the bender, who would find an adequate compensation for the destruc tion. of his business, in having new sources of wealth opened to him. The change pro posed, tons looks even to hie permanent in- id many who now sell are so fully of this fact, that they are willing to forego this source ef gain, it others would voluntarily or under the compulsion of law, relinquish it. These would be a few of the results of a profitable investment of the money now spent annually in drinks, and which, if burned up or buried in the ocean, would be un more certainly a dead kaa to all the eco- nomiaal interests of the community than it now te. But there is another view ti the case which adds strength to tha argument. - The money thus spent not only makes no profU-- able return, but its expenditure ia this way makes such a return as diminiahee very considerably the amount of absolute capital in tbe country. Labor te foa. poor man’s capital, aad iatempenase destroys bote the disposition aad tim ability to labor. The proof is feaad ia the multitude of area ia oar State, who have hoi or, worm atill, have mearaUy diseased foam indulgence ia strong drink. If collected they would make as ar toy—aa army afeaaroatarc, a dead weight an the eommaaiigr, producing nothing to add to foe general wealth; aa arxqjr inoaraiidatbyteqRqaor traffic. that all ear citiecns were such; whore would he out Ayrieulturc, our Internal ImprwtoMatr, the grooral Prosperity of onr Empire State ! -Ww would iato barbarism, and envy iadmdaal rajg ,ro af tba alam specified, toads to drag as task to that ooadttom, or bin dvr **r program to a higher Bat.toots arc, townie earh, aai foe public iaterevts lon-lly demand that tee eradicate th* traffic, to* prolific aenree af tote elate af aapndaetiv* eitimaa. In view af them fecte we maiataia that the public weal demands the suppnsrien of the Traffic; aad now assert, upon the axio matic principle, that aaeh eitisea te bound to advance the public weal, that itteour da ty to suppress it if we have the moral power and toe Constitutional right to doit. Whether we have the moral power is an open question, te now submitted to your selves. In many counties, without doubt, the Traffic can be easily abolished;- and this Committee te loth to believe that there te a country or even a community in the State, where the « Liquor Influence” predominates over the power of sound morality, patriotism and good citizenship—where these elements of onr prosperity shall succumb to the de mand of tbe liquor dealer and his bessottod adherents. Experience has proven are eaanot extirpate tote vice by m moral >n.” What can be done in this way has been done; but inexperienced youth te too easily seduced from the petit of sobriety, —the slave is too entirely the subject of bis appotites,-4he moderate drinker is too secure in his own strength,—the drunkard is too much under the dominion of a diseased physical and moral nature and of depraved habita to avoid tbe snares which erery whore around spread for their feet;—and the ven der, ready to take advantage of this fact, and anxious to accumulate gain, even at the sacrifice of every private sad public inter est, will not abandon the traffie, and with draw the temptation, while a victim nonius to be ruined, unless the Law compels him to da sa. •> Moral Suasion” can do nothing with him. nor save his hapless victims;—the moral power of the commuaity mast do its acting through the Law: We believe that this ssoral power does not lie into toe erring yoaag or the moderate drinker, or the ine briate, or the vender, and that, therefore, we caa array it against the traffic, and. on tbe ride of right, virtue and humanity; and we now invoke every eitisea to do his duty to hia raoe and couatiy. icaofanchamoraliataolhamnyad.wheua false toadnaga have ie teidod toeomtpititt aortkev* fceart, otter!/ 4eMr»lise* to political life.

Quitman for Yiee Prcridcnt I do not intend, Mr. Chairasaa, by this motion, to make any factious attempt at di vision among ourselves, but believing, as I do, that the rote proposed is utterly st va riance with all the antecedents of the politi cal history of tbe State, and ia opposition to her principles aad her interests, I cannot suffer thr consummation of the deed with out entering my protest. Aa able writer of the century has welt said, that there is a parted which precedes national decay, which siay be described as the period of national vanity, when we build monuments to our warriors and our states men who have past away, and laud their principles and their deeds, yet foil to- emu late thrir examples. I fear the iadieatioas of our present show, that we rapidly approach this painful epoch of inconsistency. We have but yesterday buried, our great est statesman. We mourned for him as children for a Father. We quote his precepts aad culogiae hte life.. W*are form ing associations to raise * ndtenfit to Iti* memory, but already we abandon bis prin ciples and repudiate his counsel. If his lifeaad labor taught us any great rale of action more than another* it . was, that •« principle should never be compro mised for expediencies.” If there was sny one political heresy be resisted most ."seal- ously, it was centralism. Yet are we now proposing to violate the one and endorse the Sir, what human ingenuity eau'eoa- tlie fact, that in voting for the *»~ i Tr of the democratic party, we vote for its plat form, now only important for its compromise feature. All our resolutions an<f protests cannot make history. History te aeted, not thought and spoken; posterity will recog nise our vote as tbe adoption of the com promise, our mental reservations may excite in than a smile of derision, but will hardly elevate their estimate of our sagacity or sin cerity. I fear that notwithstanding our long, and earnest opposition to the compromised meas ures, we do not yet fully recognise the prin ciples they establish. We have hero so much taken np with the examination of its details. So outraged by each individual in stant! of wrong, that we do aot see fully ton great principle underlying the who)* movemeat, nor the full consequence of our proposed veto which, I maintain,, gives foem and this principle our sanction. It is very central rale.
