pale, and from which poor suffering
humanity shrinks with unutterable
dread, an evil for which wo have
no adequate remedy, a poison
against which we have no antidote,
an enemy against which we have
no defence, but by Legislation. Then
if ours is a free country, if |Law is ,
our protection, if the promises of)
God are our hope, and it is to IIis,
;lory that we would live, let us a* 1

damning curse, and blots Its dis»

Let us us pure and noble men,

solid in tho ranks of this lloly war
against the Demon Drink, and un

It is to you oh my countrymen I
would speak, to arouse your slug
gish blood 1 would write, l:to your
reason 1 would appeal, and for your
own fireside altars 1 would plead.
It is the cause of Eternal truthjjl
advocate a subject in which every
man, woman jmd child ^should feel
a deep interest, and a question by
which generations yet unborn shall
be blessed or cursed. It is a war
fare for' righf where no man can be
neutral* a great, a grievous and an
unholy wrong which we as a Chris
tian people must sanction or undo.
1- hall we foster Strong Drink in our
piidst, and frame mischief by a
law, (( and draw iniquity with cords
of vanity, and bin as it were a cart
rope,” to swell our prisons and poor
houses and tax our bleeding coun
try witji unending, useless crimes,
and pensual disgrace, that the few

It is needless here to say that
I
there is in these words. Antidotes
in asylums and penitentiaries, the
blot "and disgrace of our nation!
Here 1 would ask who is it that is
taxed to perpetuate these living,
crowding monuments of our coun
try’s sensuality and shame!! and too,
I would ask if it is compulsory on
any ono ill this country of “free
dom of action,” where there are so
many honest, haipiless ways by
which pmn pan live, to thus deal
out disease, corruption, and death?
The object of law should be eleva
tion ana reformation, and hot deg
radation and disgrace; as a lather
lovetli qnd nitieth his children, and
as the good Lord lovetli and pitieth
us all, even so should a country
kindly feel and gently deal with its
erring children, and as a guide to
the wandering and a shield to the
weak its Laws should be framed,
aud our own free people and chosen
Representatives rest this awful re- ;
ponsibility, and untrammeled and]:
unbiased as in the fear of God, with
the love ot their fellow men in their 1
hearts, may they act wisely, and
their decision bring “peqpo and
good will to every body.’
