Thus, sir, throughout the land, your boasted regula- tions make the Sabbath one of the great days of bar- room festivity, and such is the result of regulating a wrong. The idea is not more absurb than infamous. It is a foul compromise with iniquity ; a yoking with saint and devil ; a compound of heaven and hell ; an infernal adulteration, which lifts up and legalizes wrong and pulls down the right ; a draping of the three-mouthed dog of the pit in the habilaments of a guardian angel, to stand a...nd smile at the door sills of the pits of earth. The principle would associate the arch-fiend with Deity on the throne of heaven, and mingle the wails of the lost with the praises of the redeemed. It would unite the worlds of bliss and woe, and place angels on a footing with devils. Does God, sir, in his government, recognize such a principle ? Do His laws regulate theft, swearing, perjury, murder, etc. ? Do His retributions slumber, when so-called respectable men trample on His laws? Yet, the license system is a creature of legal enact- ment, and stands before the world this day as the great fountain head of nearly all the crimes which endanger the peace and blacken the character of society.
