In Rtihsfant lullv claimed bv the friends Of Jol. Hoyt tbat If be should be elected Governor tie will enforce tbe dispensary law more ?fiectually than has Governor McSw^eney taring his administration; Ibat while be resards the dispensary law as a most iniquitous ieraorallzlng and wicked law. and while he considers the State's engaging in the sale of liquor as most shameful and as unbecoming a mgbtoned Christian people; still as a conicienclous. Christian mac, having a prooer regard for the oath of office which he would >e required to lake II elected governor, be vould honestly endeavor to enforce thai law lowever much he might disapprove of It. It Col. Uoyt really believes it sinful for in individual to engage in the sale of liquor, ind It would seem that be does from his jtterance on the stump, or for the State, which Is merely an aggregation of lndividiaiR, to engage In the liquor traffic, I can't understand how he can hope to escape Incur. Iok a very considerable portion of the guilt indsin attaching thereto, while engaged as governor ol the State in enforcing the law providing for such sale. I can undersland how a Christian man may ictasa civil ruler when properly called by mis fellow citizens to do so, and bow such an jne should feel bound to enforce the laws to lupport which be had taken a solemn oath, aotwlthctandlng many or said laws might nr?t ro/'Alva hiss nnnmvftl hill I (UMi't see bow iny conscientious Christian can seek a j.?osl Lion the obtaining of which would necessitate tns doing that which his own conscience tells blm Is grossly wrong and sinful. It occurs to me that no real friend of Col. Hoyt, one bavlDg a care for tbat gentleman's peace of conscience, conld vote to put him In & position where he would be forced every day of his official career, to do vlolence'to the same. Col. Hoyt, when at Abbeville, asked the voters, whom he addressed If any one of them would like to see his son occupying the position of dispenser?as much, as to say that be regarded It as a disgrace to any one to All such a position?and yet he Is seeking to become the head and front of the dispensary system, the chief mogul of all the bar rooms of the State. Oh consistency ! 1 call upon all the true friends of Col. Hoyt to come to his rescue ated save him from nuch a disgrace,?save him from himself. H. B'eau'Ufal Goods.
