To the Friends of Temperance
in Vermont,

The Executive Committee of the Vermont
State Temperance Society, at lis last annu
meeting, were instructed, in the event of .t1
License majority in March, 10 publish memorial.
asking the Legislature 10 enact a law which shall
prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors. We
therefore invite your attention TO the accompan-
wing Memorial
The reasons which call for such action are
these
LIST. That the present law was framed, as it is,
for the sake of ascertaiuing the sentiment OF the
State, in order TO the passing of permanent
law. As an incipieut measure, and test of pub
lie opinion, the present law has worked WE'LL
But ii wants the force of Law, based upon the
principles of truth and equity, so long as this
question must be answered BY vote. repeated
every year. So long as there remains possIbI-
ity that what is legally criminal this year may
be legally right next year, men will be slow IT,
relinqulsh usages to which they are bound BY
avarce or appetite. 1t seems, therefore, import
ant that there should De statute, definite and
permanent, resting on settled principles.
2i. A law of prohibition is clearly demanded
by the voice of the people, uttered at the ballot
box. Four times have the freemen OF Vermont
declared their will on this subject-each time
against the sale of Intoxicating drinks; and three
times with majority that would have settled
any other question. Are they not no" eniieu
to have their Will embodied in permanent stat
utes
With these views, we invite the friends o.
Temperance TO copy the annexed memorable

thoroughly in all the towns and school districts
In the Stale. The Central Committee do also
ask, as a favor of the Editors of the State, thai
they viii conspicuously inser. both this address
and memorial; and they earnestly request that
some In every town will enter upon the business
of soliciting SUBSCRIBERS to the memorial as soon
as received. No time should be lost,-no effort
spared to array the mass Of Vermont fIeemen OF
these positions. Need more to be said, than
that Vermont expects every one Of her Temperance
citizens TO DO HIS DUTY? Action, only ACTION

Tunnel through the Blue Ridge Mountain.-
The great tunnel through the Blue Ridge has
been fairly commenced. The workmen have
excavated about 20 feet of the main tunnel on
the western side OF the mountain, and their pro-
gress thus far has been entirely through slate
rock. As only nine men are able to work at
time, it is slow business, although they work day
and night. 1t will require four or 1--WE years to
complete this colossal work. But when Il La
done, it will be a monument of Virginia enter

which cannot be surpassed by any similar work
