look for e moment to the past, and to passing
events:
About the cloee of 1853 the liquor Inw of
that year waa declared unconatitutional bv
the Supreme Court, in tbe case of Maize vs.
the State. That decision roused the i-e of
tbe Republicans end wee followed by m-
cressed ectivity, in the premise, on thsir
part. Aa early aa January 11th. 1854. a
State Convention wte hold at tbe Masonic
Hsil, in Indienspolis, the printed proceedings
of which, in pamphlet form, sre now before
us. Tbe Convention wne in eession two

all the other prominent Republieena ef the preaent day. Tbe ball thus set in motion waa rolled on by tbe Rspublicaa leadera. till
the 13th of Ju'y, 1854, when their State
Convention wne held in tbe Masonic Halt,
in Indianapolis which nominated their State ticket of that year, Judge Oookibb being the
nominee for Judge of the Supreme Court.
Tbe third resolution passed at that Con

Well, tbe Republicsns triumphed la the
election, through the efforts ef Lara, Peels. Mobtoh, Pobtkb, CoBTJtB and others, snd
their prlneiplea were carried net In tke oa-
ectment of the Mains Law by the Republican legislature. What that moaeter law
waa, ita terrible provisions of search, exam
sre, cosllaeaiton, etc.; Iramplinx under foot
ine iioerty of the citisen, we need not tell
loo many know h, by sad experience, during
ii. violent and remorseless execution t th-
Republieena. We bave before no now the aroeeedine

Tbe Demoertts petcefully resisted tb.

All tbe Republicsn judges suetsioed and en forced tbe law, till it waa annuled be a ma
jority nf tbe Supreme Court, Judoe Gookibs
tbe Republican, upholding every provision
of it till the laet.
Thia decison wss made in December, 1855. Wkat followed! Denunciation ol
tbe Court for not enforcing tbe Isw. accom
panied by continued deelsrstions that it etil1
constituted t priociple of the Republican
party, to he put ia operation whenever
tbey were firmly enough totted io power to accompliah it. Thie was tba eourae, aa all
know from memory, of Hon. H. 8. Laex.
Mobtob, Poena, Peele, and all tke leading
Kepobncm men and presses.
This law waa a part of tbe Republican
platform in 1855.
In the Preee, a Republican paper, printed
at Lawrence burg, of tbe date, July 27, 1855-

at Aurora, which waa address, d by tbe Hon

the Supreme Court, tbe Republieena at ill
adhered to the prohibitory plank in their
platform. Thia io within the memory of all;
but we quote from a letter of Hon. Will.

and sobriety; they tbe, Democrats, for grog
shops. Should we succeed, it w4il cloee the cereer of tbe Willerde end all sack shame leaa demagogues. It will give as a sound
prohibitory law."
In 1858, our lest State electioa took place.
What wee the course of the Repablieaas
then? We baes before ue copies of the Indiana American, the Palladium, tbe Broad
Ax, the Ruehville Republican, and other
papers of that psrty, which aaeert thst tbey
ara ia favor of a prohibitory law sad sre
fighting for tbe success of their parly ia tbe
xpeetation of oecoring euch t law thereby. Further, ia that year, (1S58), "a meeting of
the extrem temperance, or prohibitory men
wee held in Indienapolis to determiae what tbey would do ia tbe coming electioa. It waa then stated lo them by e leading Re
publican lawyer and ex judge, that tbe pro
hibitory liquor law, la tbe opinion ef the first Republicen lawyers ia tha Bute, of
1855 wss valid and blading, eotwitboteadiag

any thing to inspire confidence in tba nao-
pie that the Republicans will not, if success
ful tbis peer, do ae tbey beve done heretofore? Look at tbe men Ihev have out for-
