Slat.• --WO wore rather surprised to see
the vigorous attempt you macre of the
drinking traffic, under a license law.
You tell us the Scott Act party can bo
mot on every hand with a back -set to
every argument they utter. Now Sir
we challenge the truth of this state-
ment,indeed the opposite is just then
truth, which will appear to every :stili -
did mina that will compare objections
tho.antis have published to,,tlte electors,
in this•rotrntl*, r lth,the i swers given
to these objections in the Scott Act
lferaid,published by the temperance
party, and also distributed to the elect-
ors of the county. Tho drinking traf-
fic is an evil, The Bible deolares,
"cursed is he that puns the bottle to
his neighbors mouth." Now a license 11
law does this. A license law is there-
fore, against the Eible. The Scott
says thou shalt not sell. The Ss:ott
Act is therefore in harmony with the
Bible, and carrying' out the divine law.
Now Sir, why is not this divine law
kept, simply because liquor men will
not keep either the law of God or of
man. Look at this for a moment:
About three years meo the Scott Art
(which is a prohibitory act) was passed
in the County of Huron by the large
majority of 1650, as soon as it was
passed it became the law of the land
and every law abiding citizen was in
duty bound to respect and keep that
law, just as much as any other law,and It is only necessary to say m reply
had this law been kept we would have to the above, that our correspondent,
J. BLLIOT, I had prohibition. B3ut . liquor niers like a great maty others at the present
ould not keep it unless they were day, deliberately misquotes the Bible,
compelled to do so. They rebelled and strains its evident meaning and`.

d iu St. T'rill's time. A'innongst all
ase the use was permittee, the .abulia
be heard, and these liquor men must
submit to the law of the land whielr. is
founded on the kmaGod. Let me
say
say the teeruperanee people are not try-
ing to make money out ofthem by way
of fining then, but is trying to makethem keep the lawn. This is the only
object of the teluperance party, hence
your reference to money grabbing
divirlual , has no force whatever. You
tell us that. the sentiment of the vast
people'of to -day, in °n aia]o, is against
the Scott .Act. Now Sir, this you can-
not say for you have no proof of it
whatever. You tell us that seven
years ago Balton adopted Scott Act to
its sorrow,aud that seven years a rperi-
ence convinced the people of every S.
section and concession line of that
county that tyle net was a fraud of the
first water. Now Sir, the act never
had a large majority in Halton, and
temperance sentunont in .Halton has
not declined. The chief reason why
the net was defeated in Halton this
time, because according to the voters
]let used hundreds were disfranchised,
the great majority of then! were Scott
Act Wien. \Ve understand this was a
game to defeat the act which you stated.
Now I will pass your attack (as I
understand it) ou ministers of the
gospel- Their charaeters and lives are
well known and the more you say
against them the worse it will be for
your evil cause. Temperance people
are not depending more on the police
baton and sneaking whiskey informers
than on the power of the gospel. The
baton will not be used if men will not
resist the officers of the law. And now !,
Sir you know that the immorial aspect'.
is on the liquor side and not on the
temperance side. What have you to
say to this! Compare their actions
with ours and who can vote with them'
This is a war between the church and
the powers of darkness, between right
and wrong, between God and devil.
Then let every one who respects his
Bible and his God, and who desires to
act in the interests of a common hum-
anity. Come out on the 19th and vote
against the petition,to repeal the Scott
Act.

(4) Outside of the great principle of

ion of those who voted. for the act,Iireek

attemped enforcement! Supposing the
law is right in principle cad. Biblical in
its origin; isit right in slur trieed's
opinion to do et siutill god that tt, vaei:

the people. The public buy acid drink,.

(G) Our friend give; the old exploai
reason for the defeatof the net in
alton. Why does Meuse such a real-
9tlt blind! Every one knows to the
tont nary. Re says the voters list ere
its ,..ault, The auti's say that had they
ri proper aird full voters list the major
ity for repeal would be at least 4tW.
Why not allow at once true reasons
viz.—the deenerite of the gets, its ex-
pensiveness, its inutility, the evils it
introduced, the fall aud ample expo 'i
erico of the people after G years faith-
ful trial of the net. Our correspond-
ent knows those are the true reasoutt.
Then why be dishonest about it.'
Whether the people of .Huron have had
cutlicient experience yet, to day wilt
tell, but if not today, like Halton
another three yeas will be more than
enough. Repeal, if not carried today$
will count its majority by thousands
then.
(7) For clergymen generally' And
their calling we have the highest
respect and always endeavor to show
it. But when clergymen step out of
their legitimate sphere and try by vire
dicative denunciation and vituperation
to read out of the pale of the church
and respectability all who differ with
them on this. Scott Act dogma, e4,s
doubt their wisdom, while we may not
impugn their motives. En such cases
(and they are numerous) we may feel
called on to criticise their actions and
words, and we xuay tell our friend that
no pulty fear shall prevent us doing
our plain duty.
(8) Our friend says all the immor-
ality and crime, is on the anti's We:
all the virtue and goodness on his. }1e
is mistaken. How many men of the
John Stonebuuse stripe to -day in
Huxon,loudly tall: Scott Act? Scott -Ac
is to -day a shibboleth by which num-
bers of men of the worst stripe, will
try and cover their pharisaical forces
with a cloak of seeming respectability.
According to you Sir, all those who
shout aloud for Scott Act are Christian
gentlemen, all others imps of hell.
and by that same classification yon
force, those without reputation, char
atter, or any good, to take shelter
under your cloak. Vast masses of
people of unimpeachable :character and
unblemished life with sufficient intelii
gence to third;, for themselves, who heed
not your denunieiations, who stand on
their own innate manliness, who care
no more for your praise than your
blame,taking the Book for their guide,
will to -daffy go forth and vote for the
repealof that hydra-headed monster of
evil,called Scott Act.—En.
vately and publicly breaking the law
of the land in which they rivet!, They
thought certain laws ineust, because
they interfered with life and private
convictions of a small aninority of the
people. They gloried in breaking those
laws and gloried in dying for the
breach. If our correspondent is right,
they must have been wrong and bad
citizens indeed.
(3)This is not a question of the
liquor Wien at all as our correspondent
states, It is a case of a vast part of
the best people in this county, who be-
lieve this matter of drinking or other-
wise, is a personal matter, beyond the
domain of law, that so long as no of-
fence against society is committed,
they have a right to judge for them-
selves in this matter. Ordinary law
provides for the punishment of the
drunkarcl,as for all other offenders
against society. This is a fight be-
tween personal liberty and intoler-
ance. And it is one of thesad phases
of this fight,that people like our corres-
pondent, by attacking the foundations
of that dearest, best,blood bought Brit-
ish privilege personal liberty,unwittnig -
ly array the best men in the community
against temperance. Voluntary temper-
ance is
emper-anceis assailed by no than. But the only
tewpe anee known in Huron is forced
total abstinence, Against that par-
ticular kind of temperance, there will
always be hosts of rebels. Just as
long as 75 per cent of the people in
Huron and Canada, believe in the
Bible and found their faithand prin-
ciples on i'ts teachings just so long will
compulsory total abstinence meet with
strong opposition. And: a sad day for.
Canada when the reverie occurs. Our
correspondent and men like him, will
one day find that they have ridden, this
