PROSPECTUS OF
The Temperance Banner.

The present is an important era in the cause of
Temperance; especially in the State2of Ohio,
which having just engrafted a fundamental por-
tion of the Temperance creed into her Constitu-
tion may justly be considered the BANNER STATE.
To maintain all the advantages We have gained
in our late glorions triumph, and to use those adj
vantages to the best purpose in future, requires
vigilance activity, and greater facilities for COM
munication and exchange of sentiment among the
friends of Temperance, through the medium Of
newspapers devoted mainly to the cause.
| make Temperament a leading subject in the
american Aduertiser, as the following resolutions
sseootusu, 7 we cHeerfully recommend the
American Advertiser, published by H. M. Addi-
son in the city of Cleveland, as an able, decided
and efficient advocate ofthe Temperance Reform,
to the support and patronage of all the true
friends of the cause, and particularly to all Di-
visions of the Sons of Temperance throughout
Qhio.-Resolution of the Cleveland Division of
the Sons of Temperance, passed April 2, 1851.
Resolved, That the American Advertiser, pub
ished in Cleveland byH. M. Addison, is justly
entitled to the liberal support of the friends Of
Temperance, for the noble stand it has taken
:s...d maintained in behalf Of the cause.-Resolu-
tion of the Northern OHIO Mass T TsGf Temperance
Convention held in Cleveland April Both, 1851
But in the Advertiser also publish my senti-
ments on some subjects on which in the present
triangular shape of politics, zealous Temperance
men do not agree, and for this reason many feel
less disposed to patronize it than they otherwise
would. This is equally the case with all papers
that discuss religious or political subjects how
ever ably they advocate the cause Of Temper
ance 81 a5s.
In view of these facts, and with the cordial ap-
probation Of many of the friends of Temperance,
propose publishing monthly paper, at Cleye-
land Ohio with the above title entirely free from
all party questions, unless Temperance should be
made one

in which have the promise of aid by contribu-
tions form the pens some able and distinguished
