AvoIR--I1 Dear B1rother: In ninswer to your request, I will give you rho clearest, statement, I am able to make of the present aspects of the "Mlaine Law" in Maine and Vermont, and of tihe chief grounds oftarguinent by which the wisest and ablest defenders of lie law maintain it. Of' course it has many advocates that are neither ivise nor able, as every similar cause will have.-- ( We shall not, concern ourselves with such' i in tle two tates of Maine and Vermont, I fle prohibitory law, so generally called "the t Maine Law," is intact, and is conferring ines-, timable blesnings upon those States. The 3 law in general ie as well exuted as any oh, t, er law. In some cities, as in Augusta and I Baingor, it is viohited inl a shaiefiii manner- I Thicie are many reasons wily those places 3 should have a tinajority of drinking or drunk- i en people. Let, a city have at ilij maority of 11 lieves, aiil gooo.-nnatured relatives of ltieves, I wlo cai't bClr to IILVe aniybody puniished, and I tie law againist theft, would be laxly executed, I aspecially it lie olieers are thieves or thievish. n But inl I lie 11ouiitry (owns aund villages. amnoig L all [ie fariaing popti i ion, the law is held d With a firm grasp and steady hian1d. It shows I 1o sig1s of weaikening. 'IThe great liqpior in, s erest of' lioston, con rolled by imeii of great !I ivealth and small morads, is spending money s it, every accessible point to weaken it. I That they uiteceed inl making some drnmk .rds, I 1d1iit. The law does not Iilertake e o pireven I a nin From bu3 ing a cask or a ease i it 'liquors for his owin use. Wit it forbids is e ,il m11anlutf:ci tire aniid reta:I sale 01 intoxicants. i \'heni you have shilt ti al thie driin shopgand ti losed all tile distilleries, 3ona have removed LIne-teth lis 8 'I Iie drntitkenniesS and its many itinshitii evils tha11 cluser thick around the ranii-oIaps. This work has been done, and I vll done, in Maine and Verimotit.

'The -- a 1970 roAve an annual Oexenditure 600. ,000 of dollars per annum 'for aloo 0110 :i ke Alcohol Is a poison of 11ttle teal ase, exoept iu the arts and in rnedieine, and we may safely say that five hundred and fifty inllions of dollars are thus wasted every year nd abstracted from our possible growth in wealth. This, however, is but a very small item, rreat as it may seem In the vast. account... It ised to be said forty years ago that 60,000 Irunkards die, every year, a drunkards death, n the United States. This is an old estimate. 4o one will now estimate the number as less han 100,000. Every drunk urd, on the aver ge shortens his life fiom twenty to thirty ears, as the statistics of Life Insurance abun. bintly prove. You will find careful statistics ulting it higher than this, no tie lower. Then ore is the astounling loss of two nillions of Cars Of hunian life to our country every year. L man's prodictive power in (lite various aria nd employments, while lie is in the primue of ife, ought not to be less than $400 per annum. n Imany Stater the comnioni laborer gets that, lie skilled artisan twice (hat.. Here we have nother grand iten of loss of $400.040,00), iaking a grand total of one billion four hun red and fifty millions. We have not added lie crite, the idiocy, the insanity which re, uilt front alcohol, for our resuit is already eyond our futll comprehension. When men lall begin to discuss this fearful drain upon e )OSiblC WeaLlth of the land, and the mad revalence of paupaery andcrime, the indiffer nee of governient, will not be tolerated. It. i even now, to Some extent, a bribed indiffer nee, for the liquor int etest foresees tle comu rig storrn, and knows whose friendship it iust seek. 4. Crime and poverty make a strong and irect appeal for prohibition, outside of the 'iew of the political econoimiist.. His accoint 3 m:de up in dollars and cents. Bitt here re conteiplate tlie ruin of souls and the st erings ot our humanity. "Three fouritls of lie critnes of the land are from intoxicat, ng drinks." Tlis sentinent has bect attered iy the Juiges of Englaind aid Ai crica for wo hundred years. Its accuracy cannot be tiestioned. The s:-nae propoetion will hold rie ol poverty. A iarge share of this is en atiled upon the innocent, up~on womken aind luldren. When we say it is the most solein Luty of' the govern IIIIt. to punaish tle crime, nld protect, tle itinocent and detenceless from 11 this wrong-we incan it is the duty of tle )eople.

Of the character and rellability of the au thor of thebabove letter, the Southern Pres byterian Review editorially says: "The author of this letter Is the Rev. Cy rus llamlin, D.D., for many years a mis7on ary to tke Armenian people, and President of Roberts College, Constartinople, desi ned for their enefit Circumstances beyon 1' control, in (lie providenice of God, kept him from returning to Constaninople. and he Is now tle! honored President of Middlebury College, Vermont. A most acceptable article from him on the Maine law appeared in tills Review for July 187R. Being solicited to report the real state of public feeing in that region now, touching the eperation and ef fects of (lie Maine law, (about which unfavor able reports have been very sedulusly circu lated amongst ourselves,) it ha- pleased him to do so in the form of a letter to one of u1s. Perhaps this form of communication my draw the mAre attention from our readers to his testimony. Dr. Hamlin is both a good nnd a great man, and lhis name must carry weight wherever lie is known to any position which he advocates We accept without qualifica tion his testimony to tie exceedingly great advainages derived from the prohibitory laws of Maine and Vermont, and we earnestly wish thai. all our State Legislatuires would come to adopt thg same expedients against Oie drealful vice of drunkenness.''
