THECONYERS WEEKLY
gpFHISKY.
Our clever brother of the Solid South,
Speaking of Col Pe t's whisky bill, says
• he has in possession a petition claim.,
Ing t j represent the mass of the people
of his county ; such is false” and 4 there
kt another petition asking that the p es
entloca law be repealed, and we learn
that Mr. Peek has dedined to have any
thing to do with it. If such is the case
he faila to represent the wishes of his
pe jple at home ." Now, as to the peti¬
tion which it is said Mr. Peek had in bis
possession (we doubt the correctness of
the assertion) failing representing the rna
jorityormass of our people, it does no
such thing. It not only represents the
wishes of the Chritians hut of every lover
•f peace and order, and who will say
they do not constitute the mass of the
people of Rockdale county ? The other
potion represents the wish !* of those di¬
rectly interested in the whisky traffiic.
The charge or insinuation that this class
predominates in this county is an
insult to our people; one which our es
teemed contemporary can well afford to
throw in their teeth. As to our tepre
sentative, who ever knew him to betray
a trust or disregard the wishes or inter¬
ests of his people ? Has he not always
proved true and faithful ? But we say
i he knew a petition signed only by five
r presented the best interest of the mass
of his people, he should support it in
preference to one signed by a thousand.
Bill Peek was elected by our people as
their representative; they knew he was
a Christian gentleman and a strong sup¬
porter of temperance, and if lie fails to
do his duty like a true man, (even tho
threat* of ostracism stare him in the face,)
he will belie his former record.
We 11 ust confess that we are surprised
to see our ooutemporary take the stand
it baa; publishing articles so much at
variance in sentiment with the Church
and all that leans to the elevation of the
morals, intelligence and happiness of our
people. That the sentiment is condemn¬
ed by oar people all know.
No doubt about Mr. Peek being re¬
membered in the future. As at the bAl
lott box heretofore our people will glad¬
ly decide the issue in favor of temperance
and every step they may make will be
towards the extinction of whisky.
