WE, the Grand Jurors of Rowan, Pres
ent--Thatthe most of the business brought
before US curing this Term, has been in
consequence of Drunkenness and that a
great deal of it has been occasioued by and
through the public treating of candidates
for public offices at different times and pla>
ces. consequently we cannot help but view
the practlce as an evil. and a growing evil,
for 1t Is manifest to every one that 1t is an
nually becoming worse,a and we cannot help
but feel alarmed for the good order and NOR
ality OF the community al large, If not for
lbt rty itself; for it has almost come TO
pass that those who treat the most are Ger :
tain to be elected, consequently those no
are unable or unwilling to treat, have no en-
couragement to become candidates IS they
are almost invariably defeated no matter
what ;heir qualifications are and we can
not help bul think it is high time for the
friends of good order and morality, and for
every Patriot without dis lnction of party,
to come out and put the frown Of condem
nation upon the practice, and hereafter use
their influence In endeavoring 10 prevail
on all the candidates to abandon the prac-
uce and trust to their own merits rather


than the merits of the whiskey barrel.
