Qx Thursday last the Scott Act met
its fate in Huron. This tyrannical act
has been in force for nearly three years
and after a three years trial, the peep.
le an Thursday declared it useless, and
a, disgrace to our Statute Book. For
tjaree Ns.eekas previous to the. election,
the people were balaraged from plat-
form and pulpit, to allow it one rs.1ore
trial, as if they had bad the proper
machinery the act would have tu:enn
suecee:r. The people wan not to
bulldozed by the irreligious bigots ar
fanatics, to vote for this hydra-headed
aket Thee years of it has convinced
the people of every section in this
«;]aunty, that the Act was n total fail.
bre and a fraud of the first water, and
w,€tis' 1141 workable; net only that, but
z$ irreligious tut tyrannical kr. all its
whits., A nice state of affairs, when
tair and' wide minded people must be
told and :regulated to what they nnust
eat and drink, by a few cranks and
silver tongued oratical poltroons. Is
i4not fanaticism, is it not bigotay, is
it not tyrannical. The Act is now re-
pealed, and every fair minded pian will
agree with us, when we say that the
.Act is a swindle, operated by a few
ptitizan wire-puilera, together with a
few,hpoerits, who loudly boast of
their temperance principles, and at the
setae time have none. Furthermore,
Abet has been .the .result of the Scott
Act in this county, has it not caused
the•mest aggrandised; ill- feelings which
never before existed, has it not caused
bloodshed, has it not caused. numerous
r ws,, in which numerous assaults Have
then place,, has it not increased drink
-
big i eseorett has it not. increased bad
wtiskey.. We all know full well it has
dpne all of theformer. Has.the temp-
elance,cause been strengthened by the
Seett;Aot? . We say it has not, but the
eeuse•has been weakened, And it will
rgquire,twenty years of hard and true
temperance work, to, bring, it back to
the same footing that it, held three
yeats.age.. Who is responsiblel Why
tl fa}natacs, cranks, hypocrits and
bigots., Those are the men who want.
te,,further the temperance cause, but
t12qtemperance,they: want to . advance,
is for .thei5,ewra particular gain. The
people, despise the Act,,, and. all who
belong,to it, and why should they not,
because, naught.:but evil, and that of
the worst kind, has &,slowed in its
teal. The Act,, financially speaking,
he dirty a freted simply because what
fines were imposed and collected, the
nzoa of ;which was shot; into the pock.-
es.ofthe,Scott Act. money, suckers.
We, this week drew the,. affair to a
close, and,hope thae when the Crookes:
Act becomes law, that ib will be. striate

be a sober and industrious people, and
when the next three years rolls around,.

that we this week, are called upon to

pneumonia and seccumbe:l to its
fatal results on Saturday last at

profoundest regret prevails throuuht

man, we know we express the senti-
ments of the vast population and irt
habitants of this Dominion, and in
