The bill allowing the People OF the several Cities
and Towns of this State TO decide by majority
vote whether they will or will not license the sale
Of Ardent Spirits in their midst, was on Monday
evening defeated in the Senate, by of Is 10
H. By this vote the whole bill was stricken out
and Mr. Lofts substitute inserted (by IA to 12)
prescribing that charge shall hentsforth be made
for Licences. In this shape we presume the bill
has been sent back 10 the House.


We thank the enemies Of Temperance in the
Senate for the manliness with winch they have
met this question; we thank MIR. Lott for his
amendment. Rum has triumphed over Public
Good, as usual, but not in the usual sneaking, un-
derhand way. It's votaries have given US the Yeas
and Nays on a direct vote and though our cores
pondens letter has failed Gas 1t always does when
we particularly want it,) go that we have not the
Yeas and Nays before us, we shall pay our respects
10 them In due seas n. BY abo!lshns The pay Tor
Licenses, the adversaries Of Temperance have
cleared formidable obstacle from the path Of
Reform Henceforth the question will be asked
of every candidate for Alderman or Supervisor,
+" Aye you in favor of granting Rum Licenses 10
sioen our Pauper Idrcs by thousands and not con-
tribute farming toward paging thcn?" We
should have preferred a more simple and direct
issue; for the Rumseliers will all act together and
with an eye to the main chance, while The adver-
saries of their traffic will be split up by politics and
other matters. But this will work clear-the Peo-
pie will be enabled to vote directly this simple
question and The trGde Of drunkord making 'ciH
cease to be legalizsd in tie STATE Of Ne1r- York
This result may be postponed bur cannot be pre-
vented
