Notice is published that at tile expiration of ton hays after publication there \rill be ddpositecl with the proper officer at (ioderich a petition praying -fur it revocation of the order in Council bringing into force Ili this ,county the second part of the Scott Act. We axe opposed, and we think every good citizen . ought to be opposed to the repeal of the Scott Act in this county. That which affects either directly or indirectly, to advantage or disad- #.•vhntage, the moralinterests of aconrntutity, ought to coln'fiiand'the. careful and thought. .

Nooriewhoseopiuion is woithy of any respect will deity that temperance 1 prWeiples and, praoit are -factor's illiliii•al . and material advancement, and t}t•tt Sniteni- perance retards true progress. Weare firmly of the belief that the Scott Act, enforced as it ought to be enforced, is such a factor. In the autumn of 1864,afterlong discubsiou and thorough ventilation of the subject through the press and oil the I)lntfornl, the doctors of this county, by tut immense majority, ' adopted the Scott Act as a measure suited to that end, and the panic has now been in It iii the county since the ist of May, •1685,. The people engaged and interested favorably in this movement of repeal must either be of opinion that the Scott Act,upon trial, has been proven unfit as an instrument of temperance advancement, or the -'mutt 1.0 VAe friends of intemperance. With the latter i vie will not for the present attempt to argue, bid i to the former Tot us airy that before such a serious stop as the contemplated repeal of he second part -of. the Scott Act in this oounty-a step wLioh.would appear and be regarded as a retreat -be; taken, it becomes every elector, before recording his vote; to weigh the question well, and non can object to -every one who wishes to vote rightly will court -the fullest discussion of the question. The Scott Act has as much virture now as it had three years ago. We hays not heard any valid. argument raised against it since,that time, and no new circumstances have, arisen in our county to render it less valuable as a moans of moral advancement, of as a protection to the intorests of oto citizens ; on the other'lland there have boon a large number of vexed. questions finally sealed in the courts.
