LOOK AT THIS.
If the public knew our feelings and the OF
iec,s we hsvs ia view--the manner IN who
we intend their accomplishment, they woul
encourage the Fountain, BY taking the Papel
and paying for it, and by advertising in It's co
umns. If,hey only knew the increasing intefe
that |. being iel, by that portion Of the coinmr
nifty in whose opinion and judgment oonfdenc
can be placed--if they only knew what IA
vorable influence 10 now, and still likely TO be
exer,ed upon certain portions Of our citizen
by the establishment and continuance OF sucl
paper---6rm in its principles, yet respectful
10 its manner Of carrying them forward-cal
cula,ed 10 check the youths, and prevent theii
.uin-,o arrest the attention. and change the
course Of those who have been accustomed to
the bad influence growing out Of the use q
intoxicating drinks--if they knew how We
are constantly increasing in ow circula'lon'
,hey would rally TO man, in order that 'ne
whole expense attending upon such an en'er-
nrise might be met. II they knew that, al
though This paper has not full support, be-
cause. At It's low price, il will take several thou
sand. besides advertisements, 70 support it
that still il has much larger circulation than
sny other paper printed in this city--if they
knew all these things, we think they would
see the advantage that will accrue to them, in
their business as well as In moral point Of
view, from the publication Of penny Tenn
perance paper in this city. NE have no de-
sire to loom large in the distance, and, as q
matter inevitable, d,Oinds into insignifcance
upon near approach. We are not in the
habit Of boasting--we aim rather 10 possess
those sterling qualities which improve upon
acquaintance, and which exert happy and
holy influence upon the minds and hearts Of
our readers, and prepares and fits them for the
enjoyment OF that happiness which is the re-
ward Of those who live temperately and sober

they keep up such q stir in business !-Phiia-

Theresults ofthe rum traffic, (here and in all
places the same.) are al,csys evil, and, as they |
are many, we will call them legion. Leaving
out of The question its demoralizing, brutaliz-
ing, stultifying influence on the human mind
it will be observed by those who are observ-
ant, that the most sacred and hallowed times
and places are most prolific Of these evil re-
suits. Thus We see that Sunday blessed and
hallowed by the most High) Thanksgiving
days (set apart BY our rulers for purposes de-
vou'-Prayer and praise for benefits conferred

results. See to il, ye magnates of the land
ye rulers and governors, and wise men--ye
law makers, see to it. In view Of that great
day, when ye ALL shall stand before the Judge
