20 TIE FRIENDs Of TEMPERANCE !!


TEVHE SUBSCRIBER proposes publishing
= in the town Of Wilmington, N. c., pro-
vided sufficient encouragement is offered,
paper to be called
The Temperance Sentinel.
TO DE DEVOTED TO
Temperance, Literature, Science, .Agri-
Culture, The Markets, &c. &c.
In laying this prospectus before the friends Of
Temperance and Morality for their sanction, we
are acluated alone by the wish TO do all that we
can for the suppression of that great foe 10 human
iness--ISTEMPERANcE. If those who are
DESTROYS to see the downfall of this monster will
only come forward to our support we will endea-
vOr to give him such thrusts as WILL in time, per-
haps, cause him to absent himself from our other
wise happy commonwealth.
There is at present no paper devoted to this
philanthropic cause published in North Carolina
whilst there is scarcely another State in the Union
within whose bounds there is not ono or more pa
pers published, devoted to the Temperance cause.
shall il be said, North Carolina cannot support a
paper of this kind For the honor of the IS Old
North State" should be sorry to have it said Of
her Why is 1t, then. that there is not an organ
Of this character in existence! Numerous propo-
sails for the work have been before you, but they
have all fallen to the ground for the want of suffi-
cient encouragement to enable item to make a
start. The main reason for the repeated failures,
we think, may be justly attributed TO the lack of
interest shown towards them by the friends of the
cause. Will they not listen to this appeal, and
use every means within their power to prevent
this proposal from sharing the same fate as its
predecessors? We hope so.
Friends ard Brethren in the Temperance cause
We call upon you to assist us in carrying forward

We believe if the friends of the cause will only
come up to the work, that North Carolina not on.

the most gifted men in our land have been Gu
down III the very height of their brilliant career
numbers of our young men who have given early
evidences of talent and have been looked upon by
fond father or doating mother, as one who wa
dlstlned to fill high place in the hearts of their
fellow-cltizens, have had all their buds of promis,
npped 10y the approach of this insidious foe
foe who is no respecter of persons, but treats al
who tampeF with him alike, and brings them Il
an untimely a1d dishonored grave. When W.
look around us and see the ravages which intern
perance is making throughout the length an,
breadth of our land, we should rise up as MAJ
