Mr.. Editor-I have learned with pleasure that

1t has been peculiarly gratfyngto me to understand
that this society recognises the truth of the danger
and destructveness Of spirituous liquors and adopts
a, fundamental principle total abstinence from the
use Of these liquors and the exclusion of them from
their houses. Every man. who feels an interest in

bind them to policy at once at variance with their
views of state and individual good.
