which indorsed the majority of it, as "good temperance! men" to them let that paper look for the reason of theiil Tho bill which was substituted for Mr. Owen's, anrl which passed the House, so far from containing a pro vision in favor of license, expressly prohibited it. (Sei jHouse Journal, vol. I, p. 1587. sec. 7) This was ontj reason why it failed in the Senate, The Chart says the Senate refused to pass this bill, and pre.ends to give the ayes and noes by which it wail rejected. A vote never was taken on its passage After being reported to the Senate from the House, i was amended in several particulars ; ordered to a thin reading by ayes 23, noes 19; (Senate Jour., p. 1051) afterwards, referred to tbe committee on Revision, witl instructions, by ayes 27, noes 16; (Senate Journal, p 105S) ; and, finally, after tbe Senate had passed anolhe bill, reported back by that committee with a recommendation that it be laid on the table, (Senate Journal, p 1265), which was concurred in, and the bill never bean of afterwards. Where the Chart got its ayes and noe (on tho passage of this bill in the Senate, with Mr. Tod. toBNo such vote is given In tbe benate Journal. The Chart then says: "The Senate then struck out this bill." we have jusi shown that it was finally di.-poed ol by laying u on ih table, "and passed one nlhrving license to tie granted n any city, town, or township, unless a majniiiy of lh. vnipranf nch ni'v. town, or townsbiM. shall remonstrati - .:,., ,he game ; writing, tbe geuuineness of tbe sig j . . . inlnatures to be proven by two qualified voters, and file. The foregoing paragraph, so far as stating the pro visions of the bi II in relation to allowing or prohibiting license is concerned, is correct: but the following paragraph, purporting to give further provisions of the sam bill, contains one of the most wanton, barefaced, ant reckless misrepresentations we ever witnessed i

then tue ciera snau give tninyuay ouvmv, o. shall be nranted for thiitv days. Thee the same proces is ta be gone over again, and license is again siuvcu ou for thirty days.' The bill contains no such provision, nor was such b proposition, or any thing resembling it, before cithei branch of the General Assembly last session, and, wt venture to asseil no member of either branch evei thought of such a proposition. The bill reported by Dr. Berry, and to which the Chait refers, provides that, aiaa a a 4Xt 1 B. . 1 ..a.I ter a remonstrance shall hnve Deen uieu m m ueojm of any township against selling liquor, it shall not bt sold forever afterward until a majority of tbe voter snail Detmon 10 lavor oi . iiumiu m v as V f ? B.T - U : I. uasf I ta t AO 11 m by any possible means, be tortured into the constructia iven by the Chart, that the prohibition to sell, alter tb filing of the remonstrance, should only continue ioi thirty days.
