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.

Clerical tyranny awl ignorance combined, sue- teed in passing such laws as this Scott Act, but the great moderate, independ- ent, thinking, self-reliant masses of people quietly wait till the craze has spent its force and re action comes.

Yours Truly, Joseph Foster, Exeter full well, that the whet ripture teaching is against se of alcohol and excess or Abuse of anything else.

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.

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.

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.

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.
