Circuit Courts, that the pernio,, must

contain the names of voters who actually voted at the last preceding election while others hold that a number eijnal to a majority of the names on the poll hooks at such election is sufficient. In case the right of appeal is established, then there will be a ijueslion for the Supreme Court as to what constitutes a majority of the voters in any ward, town or town-hip within the! moaning of' the law.

which tend to lead tho innocent and I young into evil habits, and to conliim those who haie already nci|iiircd a taste for strong drink, thus destroying the I hope of their reformation. Then mv motto is,''Touch not, taste not, handle not the unclean thing." The experience of every one who drinks teaches thai wine is a mockery. Not one wiio drinks wine ever expects to become a drunkard, his character ruined and his life rendered wretched by the use of strong drink.

Not one who drinks alcohol ever expects to fill a drunkard's grave. The description of the fearful effects of intcmpcrance written thousands of years ago is the best representation that can lie given of them to-day.

Wlicivii". Many aspirants to office indulge in the disgraceful and corrupt practice of spending their lime and money in olYering irea's, bribes, and rewards for the purjiose of onlriinin^- nuntiiiufioiis al potiiieal conventions, thereby nltempiing through tlic disgraceful and corrupt mlluences of whisky and money lo control the elective franchise, which has Ivcn virtually acquiesced in by the people in supporting such men for :dVice. after they have thus obtained the nomination. And

Wliercis, The use of such means in electioneering either before or after nominations are made, is a fruitful source of corruption, (after elections). The argument is often used in favor of increasing the per diem of legislators and salaries of officers generally that the oflice-hohlcr has to spend so much time and money in procuring the office, that he cannot afford to serve without an increase of pay and in order to put down such an immoral, disgraceful and corrupt practice of electioneering, be it therefore j, ltesolved. That we, as Patrons of Husbandry, will not support any man for office that will spend his time or his money, or offer any treat, bribe, or reward, either directly or indirectly, by himself or another, for the purpose of obtaining the nominniion of convention: or that will spend his money after having received the nomination, in treating, or bribery, or in any wny calculated to corrup' the ballot-box. lie it further

That all the papers of this county, and the Indiana Farmer, be requested to publish the foregoing preamble and resolutions, and that all the papers of the .Stale favorable to honesty, economy and roforin, copy.
