We have all along deprecated the wretched at- tempts of certain cliques of politicians to make po litcal capital out of the law. passed by our last Legislature, for reguatngth sale ardent spirits. Such efforts are unworthy of the great cause which that law was designed to advance, and sure we are that no honorable man or discreet friend os Tenn perance. would engage in them. late number of the Waterbury American (a neutral paper,) thus speaks of the course of the Hartford Times this subject: ..- LET, ,'.'"

 "Thc man, therefore. who would seek to assail the law by stigmatizng its as political measure, must be bronzed with impotence up to the very eye brows, tnk the people greater fools than he (tke edtor) has proved himself to be aknave. The Hartford Times has not hesitased to be guilty of this mean tvs nsgressioH. II is welknown that le- gislators of aN parties have shuaned this subject, although petitioned again and again by the friends of temperance. Last spring the petitioners pressed their suit in such formidable manner, that fur ther daliance would have been unjust, and know ing this the assembly feared to give it the go by and by thus complying with the prayers of tbe peo. pie, acted righteous and noble part-with the DO. iticGl classification of that body, the petitioners had no part or lot in the matter" .aL ate

 'The Times may rave and buster as much as it pleases but the Washingtonans and the great phal- anx of temperance allies who surround them, cam not be intimidated by their threats, and base att tempts to overthrow the Tdnperance Reformation by falsely seeking to identify it with political ma. chinery--it is too late in the day to sound that treacherous cry. Theirs is cause which appeals not to payty, but to the human race at lsrge-to common sense. and the consciences of men. And he who impiously attempts to clog the car of tenn perance, or impede its progress by exhibiting false iures will find himself in the position of the unskl full engineer who was blown up by his own petard. 1"

 "We have noticed the Times in particular, be- cause it is the only political paper, either whg oE democratic, in the State. which has sought to vify tso far as our observation extends) the cause, by branding it as a political measure. That paper knows betterand it is not uncharitable denounce its object in the highest degree incendiary. mean, and iniqutous. We would put the temperance l community on their guard-let chem maintain an front. and wait the proper time for action
