Tho 0)d Chieftain ia for To alpara ri - bat Ito ntHtniBtu New Fangled Lav, Galveston Now s, Hean voir, .M ?ss., July 20.-Colo nel E. lt. Lubbock-My L>ear Sir: Yours of tho 12th inst, with its enclosure has been received. I ha ve heretofore declined to an swer any of tho many Inquiries, made for my opinion on the const! stitutior.al iimoiidment now- pend ing In Texas, My reason for not replying wu an unwillingness to enter into a controversy In w hich my friends lu To xas stood arrayed against each other. In departing from tlx? rule here tofore observed, l trust lt will flot ho an unwarranted intrusion. Beared In the creed of Democra cy, my fttlth 111 its ten?is luis grown w it li its grow th, and I adhere to the maxim that tho world is gov erned too mindi. When our fut bo rs achieved their Independence, the corner stone of the government they constructed wits individual liberty, and tho so cial organisations they established were not for the surrender but for the protection of natural rights. For this governments were estab lished, deriving their Just powers from tho Consent of tho governed. This Was not to .subject themselves to the w iii ol tho majority, as ap pears from the fact that mich com miinlty Inserted in its fundament al law a bill of rights to guard tho Inalienable privileges of the indi vidual. Thora was thou ft two fold pur pose in government-preelection and prevention against trespass by tho strong upon tho weale, ( tho many on tho tow. Tito world hud l-oig suffered from tho oj-prcssions of government un di r the pretext of ruling hy divine righi, and excusing tho invasion Into private and domestic affairs on the plea of paternal caro for tile morals and good order of tho poo plo. Our sires rejected all such pro tensions, their system being: Gov ernment by the pooplo for tho peo ple, and resting Ol? tho basis of natui al inalienable rights. Upon tho basis of these genoral proposi which il la submitted would bo moro fatal than that for which it was offered ns n remedy. Tho abuso ami not UK? USO ofstimulcntH tioiiH 1 will briefly answer tho in jury in regard to Ibo prohibition nmendmon t at Issue : "Ho yo temperate in ?ill things," was n wisc, injunction, and would apply to intolerance ns well ns to drunkenness. Thnt thc Intempe rate uso oif intoxicating liquors is an evil, fow, i f any, would deny. Thal is tho root ol' many social disorders ls conceded, but then tho question arises, what ls tho appro priate remedy, and what tho pres ent neeossily? To destroy individ ual liberty ami moral responsibil ity would be '.o eradicate ono evil by the substitution of another, ll mud be confessed, ls tho evil to In' remedied. Then ii clearly fol lows that ni lion should bo taken against thc alni-o rather than tho use. [fdrunkenness he tho cause of disorder and crime, why not pronounce drunkenness itself lo bo n crime mid attach to il proper and itdequute penalties, I! it be objeo ix'd that the penalties could not bc ruf ?rei d. I ?int Is un nd mission that popular opinion w ould lu> opposed to the law; out il it ho (rue thul ju ries could ort bo empaneled who would convict so degraded n crim inal ns n drunkard, it necessarily follows t hnt a statutory prohibition against tho salo nd use of intoxi cants would be a dead loller The next branch of inquiry is as to the present necessity, 1 might appeal to men not ns oM as myself lo sustain tho assertion that tho eon vi vin I use of I u toxican ts and the occurrences nf drunkness, had become less frequent within the last I wen ty years than ii was before. The rod nine; influences of education mid Christianity may be credited with this result. Why ?Nd allow I hose ldc -el hiind-muideus of virtue and morality lo continue unembarrassed in their civilizing work. Tito parties to I Ids discuss ion in your Stale have no doubt brough! forward the statistical facts in regard to tho effect produced in other States by this effort tocontrol morals by legislation, mid I will nol'onoumhorjlhi- letter by any re ference to those facts.

They believe the law fulls to reaeb people who have money or Influential friends. Therefore they form u kind of concurrent court or it court of correction, in Which the people may meet lind re vise the verdicts of Hie jury. That is the higher law doctrine '.ind out people uro drifting In thnt di reel ion. This higher law doctrine iv pleasing to the popular m i 0(1.
