They make it a crime for one man to stand behind a counter and take sixpence for a glass of alcohol, and they leave it as free as the most virtuous act for the other man to buy, and drink, and pay for it! [Applause. ] Now, that is making one half of an act a crime, and the oth...er half not a crime. Do you not see that that is a false principle? that you cannot de- clare that a crime which is committed by two parties, and cannot be committed by one, and make it a crime in one and declare it no crime in the other?

" I But why not, if selling is a crime ? Why, what ! would these law-temperance folks say if you I should propose to make it a crime to sell a negro !
