bility upon few who keep the Di-
vision alive, by meeting regularly, and
going through the routine Of business,
then close and 60 home. This l con-
slider wrong for any Division to do,
where there is no business properly
before the Division, some Of the mem
bers ought, or all Of them make BUSH
ness Of some kind TO have the meetings
interesting. For instance, let each
member, between the meetings, gather
all the information he can in relation
to all professors of religion or others,
who aid in the manufacture or traffic
of intoxicating liquors, such as raising
grain, and selling it, directly or indi-
rectly' to distileries or breweries, also
those who rent their houses TO sell in
toxicating liquors in, and all other in
formation that tends to show what inn
creases drcnkenness. After all these
are collected together, let them be
published, with the names Of the indi-
viduals attached, in the county papers,
or the Organ Of Temperance.
We have a great battle to fight the
coming summer, and we ought'to have
concert of action, both in and out of
the Division therefore, let us go to
work with our faith stronger, our
hopes brighter, and our zeal more
animated and solemnly resolve, in
this warfare with the monster vice,
that we will make no compromise with
the enemy; and not, like our fathers
did, when the hand of tyranny was
upon them, be enemies in war, in
peace friends" But let us 60 farther,

are enemies in war, and in peace we
will be enemies still.

DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE Churck. and
Temperance Hall burnt.-We are NOR
tilted to record the destruction by fire
of the Methodist E. Church, four miles
east Of Pulaski. The house was set
fire to by some vile wretch or wretch
es on Saturday night, Goth inst. The
house was occupied as a Church and
Temperance Hall. Leatherwood Di-
vision, No. AZ, Sons of Temperance
and Temple of Honor, No. 2l, held
their meetings there, and the Division
had meeting on the night of the con-
fagration, Very little fire was left in
the stove; and from certain. circum-
stances, known to lev oi The breth-
rem, it is almost certain that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. We
hope the rascal or rascals will be
brought to justice, and be duly pun
ished for the cowardly act.
But our brethren are MOTTO be over
come in that way! The wrath of man
cannot subdue or crush the Church,
or the Order Of the Sons or Templars.
The brethren Of the Division and Tenn
pie at Leatherwood, have already taken
measures to erect larger and finer
Hall and Church on the same spot, in
which to hold their meetings. They
will rebuild their tabernacle, and go
on with their work--a work which has
eretofore, and will continue, to meet
the approval of an all-wise God.
The Grand Division and the Grand
Temple have furnished the brethren
with new charters, books, &C.; and
their work will continue, despite the

WAYNEsv1LLE, Ohio,
Dec. 23d, 1859.

At a meeting of a few of the friends
Of Temperance at Waynesvile,
held pursuant to public notice, at the
Sons of Temperance Hall, Mr., Isaiah
Falls was called to the ctair, and
A. E. Merritt chosen secretary.
The object of the meeting being
stated briefly by Mr.. J. W. Keys, to
be the appointment of delegates to the
State Convention to be held at CO.
lumbus on the 9th of Jan. next, agree
ably to the call of the executive com
mittee.
After some appropriate remarks by
S. Scott and by the chairman, the
meeting proceeded to elect delegates
to said convention; which resulted in
the choice of the following persons,
viz: ]. w. Keys, Isaiah Falls, A. E.
Merritt, j. C. Stoddard, S. Scott, F.
Collott, J. @. Collett, S.. w. Rogers,
Lewis Mills, ]. Wolfe, ]. Auburn, J..

son, ]. D. Blackburn, A. Chandler,
A. Harris, J. w. Henly, ]. w. Day,
and ]. A.Roberts with recommenda-
tion to all others who can go, to do,it
by all means.
Mr.. J. W. Keys offered the follow
ing resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted:
ResoIved That in the opinion of this
meeting, the interest Of the Temper
ance cause does not require the pres
ent Legislature to be re-petitioned on
the subject of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage.
ResoIUed, That all petitions pre-
sented TO the Legislature at its last
session, are legitimately before the
present, it being merely an adjourned
session.
ResoLBed, That experience has dem
onstrated, that the MAINE LIQUOR
LAW is practicable, and has been es-
tablished in several of the States; and
that Ohio, as expressed by her many
thousand petitioners, is ready for a
similar prohibitory law
Resotoed, That there is SO much
uncertainty in relation to all laws now
on our statute books in regard to this
subject, that the people Of this State
are fully apprised that intemperance
is on the increase, and that further
Legislation on the subject is immedi-
ately required.
Resoloed, That we are in favor Of
prohibiting laws for the suppression Of
the manufacture and sale Of intoxicat.
ing liquors as beverage.

Opinions of the Press.

The Temperance Tract, No. 1, is
sued from our press few weeks since,
has not only found its way into the
families of multiplied thousands in
every section of the country, but our
Exchanges come to us bearing testi-
mony to its merit; for this, they have
our cordial thanks. The Cincinnati
Gazette says:
"We are gratifed to notice an ad-
dress prepared by S. F. Cary, H.
Garfield, and T. H. Cummings, a COM
mittee cf the Sons of Temperance, to
tie people of Ohio, in behalf Of law
to prohibit the liquor manufacture and
traffic, with a provision for the seizure
and destruction of intoxicating drinks
wherever found. This is doubtless
from the pen of General Cary, and is
an earnest appeal for the enactment
of the proposed law, and briefly, yet
forcibly, presents the question in its
strongest light"
The Kentucky New Era speaks of
the Tract as follows:
"Gen. Cary will accept thanks for
Temperance Tract No. /, written by
him, and entitled, An Address to the
People of Ohio, in behalf of Law
to prohibit the liquor manufacture and
traffic, embodying the principles of
seizure and destruction of intoxicating
drinks wherever found for sale as a
beverage Prepared by S. F. Cary,
H. Garfield, and Thos. H. Cumming

1852, by the Grand Division of Ohio.

following preambles and resolutions,
which was read and adopted unanimous
ly.
Whereas, the past history of the Tenn
perance Reform has demonstrated that
moral suasion is insufficient to accom-
plish the great end, for which the friends
Of Temperance have long labored. There

ResolUed, That henceforward our motto
shall be " moral suasion for the drunk.
ard-for the tempter, law"
ReSotUed, That we believe it the impair
alive duty of Government in the legiti-
mate exercises of its powers, to protect
its subjects from the evils Arising from
the use of intoxicating drinks, by pro-
hibiting, if necessary, the manufacture
and sale OF the same as beverage.
: ReSOtUed, That as Sovereign people, we
call the attention Of the Legislature oi
our state, now in session, 10 the numer-
GUS petitions, presented at its previous
session, (and which are now legitimately
before it) praying for the enactment of a
Law, prohibiting the manufacture and
sale Of intoxicating drinks, and demand
Of them, that they treat said petitions
with that importance they demand.
ResoiDed, That unless the progress Of
our petitions are answered before the ad-
iouTnment of the present session, we will
hereafter, in the election of candidates
for the Judicial and Legislative depart
ments Of state, vote iOr no man who is
not Internationally committed TO the
principles of the Maine Liquor Law, be
our previous predalictions what they
may.
ResolUed, That the Secretary be inslruc-
ted 10 forward copy of the proceedings
of the resolutions, 10 each OF our county
papers and the Organ of Temperance
Reform, and request them to publish the
same.

A Good Move.

We notice that one of the Divisions
of Sons at the South, after an inter-
esting discussion on the subject ofread.
ing among themembers, finally agreed
to tax themselves a certain sum week
ly, to form a Reading Fund, which
was to be used in providing useful
Temperance periodicals for the con-
.tributors. We do not remember the
particulars Of the plan, but we were
forcibly struck with the importance Of
the main idea. Every Division in this
country should encourage and active
ly promote the circulation of Temper
ance papers among the members, and
even beyond their own circle. The
more Temperance men read Temper
ance papers, the more likely are they
to become intelligent and Jealous pro-
moters of the cause, and their families
are far more likely to be trained under
sound influences. We wish the ques
ton, is any brother destitute of a
Temperance paper for himself and
fanny ?" might be asked with as much
interest, and as often as that other
question, " Has any brother violated
his pledge 2" If every one took a
paper, violations of the pledge would
be much less frequent. Brothers think
of this.
And what a vast amount of good
Divisions might do, if they would ap-
point committees to promote the cir
culation of Temperance papers in fam
| lilies not connected with them. Each
Division should labor to have every
family in their vicinity visited by such
a paper, and they would soon find this
the most effectual way of adding to
their numbers and strength. The pa
per would be a recruiting officer for
the Division. II would be a silent
pleader to many tempted man, and
a mighty teacher of the youth; and
neighborhood enjoying the constant
visits of such a messenger of truth
would not fail to bear the fruits of
Temperance and virtuous principles.
We respectfully, but earnestly beg
our brethren to bring this subject be-
fore their Divisions, and letit be fairly
and fully considered what they can do
to promote Temperance among them
selves and the people of their vicinity.
And we shall feel much indebted to
any brother who will give us informa
ton of any movement in the Division
to which he belongs in favor of this
suggestion.-N. y Organ.
