Under this heading, we propose to
show up in their true co'ors thoso who
pretend to reprnont ,bhis County in
our Otato Logiblat tire, and who, in the
estimation of every decent and intel

signally failed in their unuler1aking.
We have personal knowledge of the
entire delegation, with opo single ex.
ception, and the history of their sever
al careers %sill bear us out in'assurting
that they, in their character of legis

short of dkisharging their whule ifuty

Fiarst on the list, lot us t ike up the

We next come to the three repro

Is Mr. S. M. Smart. Of this muan, we
will say but little as mnost of our
r-eaders probably knaow him as well as
ourselves. His brief career as a legis
lator ha., in our opinion, added no
laurels to his ante bellum reputation,
and, in justice to truth, must be pr.
nounced a iniserable failure, The

claim thii fact without fear of suo

House. vo are not awaio that they
have ever opieted their iuiuhs ex.

sense than sote of their colleagues.
It is, however, their mannor of voting
that we condemn. On eury question
affecting the corrupt, mulangeuent of
the State financets, their votes have
ever been on the side of fratud,
and against the interests of those who
uaturally look to them for protection
from sWindlers atnd -coundrels.
To sum up it ) rief, the en'ire rep
sentatioi from this county has proved
itself in every way nothy of siup.
port and coniidor co, and we tin t the
people will repudiate them at the
next election.
A Specti r rWong.
The fNt has come to light recently
that the " United B1rotherhood of South

of the General Amismbly, means
nothing more not lesa than the band

Once more we say, Watsh.
Of all thre d at ressi'ng evils that mnor
tal fiesh is hier to, nonIe has proved so
disastrous to) the htuman tace as the
cvii of intemponrance.
That it, is growintg stronger every
day, and gaitning a cheecr hold upon
tihe people of t he resent age, is a sadt
and indisputable fact, oi-e that
is eveit now eansing grief anid misecry
to thousands of the~ ihabi h nts of this
coun try', and surely calcunlate~d to en.
tail, unrless c'hecked, untold woi s upon
future generatio..s.
Letus cast ourit Oyes over' hIds once
fair lamnd of ou rs, anid note w elI whIat

ournoc of our race, in emitperalic, thatu
Ialready consigned butt.Ireds ai d thonts.
ands of poor deluded souti. to the low..
est depthis of perdition.
Let us mark too the hatrrowing
nices that inevitably folloe' in the
track of the groat mini of intemrperance,
an~d which eharaotorize the earcer of
the degraded, besotted, wretch, who
saer~bcos fiate, reputation, even man
hood, to . gratify base and Ignoble
passions. .How frequently .do we find
it the oase~that the atan 6feh...a
life s tWe ,roshl& of inteproA
tha6 the Wind of mn is to orazodly
intepperato Indulgence, that he In
Ais ftenuy, strikes down a fellow
eredtures, fnd by the act blackens his
immortal soul to all eternity, and puts
a foul stigma upon his name that no
duration of time can efface or destroy.
How often is it the case that the un
happy drunkard, whose conscience
cannot bear the weight of his misor,
.ia, puts an end to his odios . exis
tence by vislonee, Rhd seids his soul
lto lie fpresenice Jhis Muher, recking
with the funes of intemperance and
pollution. This pioturo is indeed re
volting; but iieverthele-s true.
Agin, let us go into our large
Cities, and vi-it the homes of those
thoso *ho are not blessed with much
of this world's goods. We behold
men, woion aid chi dres, grovelhitg
in squalid poverty, and when we in
quire into the causes of their mi-for
tunes) we are told there places are the
haunts uand abodo of dltikatrd,. of
mien and women who roam day tad
niht overconmO by intoxication from
ititemperance,
Alas I how many noble ininds have
filled early graves, aid passed forever

great evil.
We might alsa add that this evil

filling high places in the governmeont
of this country, aud we say it. as a re

The momentous quiestion arises,
how Is this eidl of inteniperancn to lie
remedied, and its growth arrested ?
It is certainly emi6LIOJl to Ierious coll
ideration. ThiS appalling vice mu t
be hecked, or our country will ere
long be ruined. Temporance associa,
tions, total abstinence societias and
philarithropiats generally, may no
complish a swall measure of good, but
the effectuA1 mc:uas must be obtained
fro:n legilative enbcncts. 'T e

a "l'rohlbiry Liquor Jiw,"' with

of evils in order to eradicate them,
and we believe the passage of such a
law, nive have indicated, would of
fectually destroy this grent evil of
intonphrance, by removing the cause
that condu-.- to its growth, viz: the
wholoeale granting of liquor licenses,
whereby temptation is sown broad,
