The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-06-25

Our exposition of the principles of the
Maine Law and the necessity of their ap-
plication in the "Old Dominion, made at
fredericksburg few days since, has alarm
ed the political press in that city, and they
are down upon us with vengeance. Both
the Whig and Democratic papers misrepre-
sent our argument, and hold US up as a
worthy representative of northern fanati-
cism, abolitionism and other isms equally
obnoxious. This is the course always pur-
sued by those who have no argument with
which to meet an antagonist. These ap-
peals toPopular prejudice may have tenn
porary influence with the people, but it can
only be temporary. We were satisfied that
the immense audience of intelligent men
aud women whom we had the honor to ad.
dress at Fredericksburg were fully convin
ced of the correctness of our positions and
the fairness of our argument in sustaining
them. By way of preparing the public
mind for our discussion, the Democratic
Recorder" had long editorial the day O.
our arrival headed "Fanaticism rampant.
The editor closes by assuring his readers
that his Columns shall be used against
any Maine Liquor Law advocate who may
be sent into the field" How could it be
otherwise after this pledge was given, than
that the subsequent issues should be filled
with misrepresentation and vulgar appeals
The argument the editor does not answer
nor even dare attempt it, We shall moi
trouble ourselves to refute his statements,
but will leave him in the hands of an in.
telligent and high minded community, who
will consider the best interests of their
State.

The Celebration at Glendale.

Last week we announced that the friends
Of Temperance of this city and Hamilton
county were making arrangements for a
grand celebration of the glorious Fourth of
July, at Glendale, on Saturday, July Sd,
(the 4th coming on Sunday. The arrange
ments have all been perfected by the com-
mittee, and very large concourse is ex-
pected to be present and participate in the
proceedings of the day.
The committee have made arrangements
with the Hamilton and Dayton Railroad
Company for cars at half the present price
for passage there and back, 80 cents, chill
dren Is cents. The cars will leave the de-
pot, on Sixth street, at quarter before s o.
clock, and stop at Cumminsville, Carthage
and Lockland to take on delegations. The
committee have secured band of music,
banners and the stars and stripes.
Exercises to commence at half past 9 o.
clock, Several of the best speakers are in
vited and are expected to be there on the
occasion. General Cary will be there, and
no mistake. 1t is expected that public
dinner will be prepared, and persons who
wish to attend 10 doubt can be supplied.

General Winfield Scott, Of New Jersey,
and William R. Graham Of North Caro-
lima, have been selected by the Wing Ma
tional Convention as candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President. Both gentlemen
are well known to the people General
Scott was nominated on the SD ballot, re-
ceiving l59 votes-necessary for choice
I47. The meeting was an exciting one, but
all parties have been fully reconciled5 to
each other, platform has been agreed to,
and they have unanimously resolved to vote
the ticket, and triumph-f they can.
The ball is opened, two distinguished
gentlemen having magnanimously consent
ed to place themselves as a mark to be shot
at by an innumerable number of mushroom
pop-gun, stump orators, who cannot tell
the difference between an ad uGLOrHm and a
specific duty. The contest will be an ex-
citing one-each party being very confident
Of success. As for ourself, we go for the
Maine Law, and don't care a fig who will be
the next President, as 1t VIII not eHecG our
principles. But if we were to express
an opinion, we would say that in all hu'
man probability, General Scott viii be the
successful candidate. He is the hero oI
two wars, shedding imperishable renowr
aud 1siofy upon american prowess and
chivalry. He has the smell Of gunpowder
and guapOIoder popularity has never failed o
success in the United States. There il
something about victorious soldier and
chiefain that captivates the American
heart, and they acknowledge his merit and
skill by placing him in the highest office
within their gift. It-was so with Generals
Jackson, Harrison and Taylor, and we are
greatly deceived if it be not so in the pres
ent case.

The Right Spirit.

Over in Kentucky the "SOns know how
to do things up right. They go for their
paper (the Era and the Maine L0U, the
one being intimately connected with the
other; if the one proves successful the
other follows as matter of course If the
Sons in Ohio do not use a little more
animation in the contest, we are very fear
full that Kentucky will be ahead of us in
adopting the Maine Law, although we had
considerably the start
We have only one inder by which to Judge
of the success of any principle or measure
before the people and this is, the patron
age bestowed upon the acknowledged organ
of that principle or measure. In times of
high political excitement, the organs of the
respective psrties are held up and sup
ported, and it is a fixed rule among politi
clans, that the Press does not flag for want
of means.
The receipts of the Kentucky NesO Era
for the five weeks ending June 10, were
$51l or $l02 90 per week while the ,e-
ceipts of the Organ for the same period are
only $2ls SO, or $42,77 per week; less than
one half the receipts of the Era. And yet
Ohio has twice the population of Kentucky!
This comparison does not speak much for
the zeal and energy of the Temperance men
of Ohio. generally. But while we write
thus, we know that Ohio can boast of very
large number of true and tried friends ol
the cause, who are lavish of their means in
propagating the cause. In Kentucky, all
the "Sons" work, while in Ohio the burthen
of the work falls upon the few. Let all the
"Sons" in Ohio unite their energies to
push forward the cause. We commend the
zeal and patriotism of the glorious Kentuc
kians in sustaining their organ and oul
only hope is, that Ohioans will wake up t.
a sense of their duty to themselves and tn,
cause.
We do not draw this comparison merely
to show the receipts of the two papers, bu
to show the Gaergy, zeal and determination 0
the Sons" in Kentucky. They have re
solved to triumph, and they have taken tn
proper course to secure it. The Organ ha
been well received it has patronage neve
before bestowed upon any paper published
in the State, and We donot complain bu
we do not like to be behind. PUBLISHER

Fourth Of July.

We are rejoiced to know that the
brethren are very generally preparing to
celebrate this day in becoming manner.
The editor has had more than one hun
dred invitations to address public meet
ings on that day. A great change in the
mode of celebrating this memorable an
niyeSsary has taken place within the past
lew years. We can remember when
the most exemplary citizen would not be
severely censured for getting drunk on
the 9Th Of July. II was an evidence Of
patriotism. Not so now. The upper and
tO'cT classes furnish almost the only in
ebrlates on that natal day of freedom.
The middle classes, with whom love Of
country is an absorbing passion, dash
from them, with indignation, the inloxi-
eating bowl. The true and honest heart
ed patriot needs not the stimulating
draught to awaken in his bosom feelings
Of veneration for the revolutionary Faith
ers, or 10 inspire him with an earnest de-
termination to live for his country's honor
and glory. The poor creature who
drinks liquor on that day shows himself
- ;, aud costly legacy
bequeathed TO him. The Temple Of
Liberty has been reared for us, but it is
our duty to render its "walls salvation,
and its gates praise" This cannot be
done by a nation of drunkards. The
great moral warfare in which we are
proud to be engaged, is one which, il
successful, will result in making the 4th
of July still more dear to every true
American and friend of freedom. The
thief who would be proud of his halter,
or the beggar of his rags, is not more
despicable than the drunken man who
boasts of the virtue, houor and devotion to
God and country of the signers of the
Declaration of independence. The poor,
miserable, abiect slave to his own pas
siOns and lusts rejoicing in his freedom!
He is disgrace to his country, re-
proach to his race.

Kentucky New Era +"

This excellent paper, which is SO ably
edited by our much esteemed friend, Chas.
Eginton, Esq, will be issued weekly in
stead of semi-monthly, if sufficient induce
ment be offered. We do hope that the
friends of temperance in Kentucky will in
sist upon the proposed change, by increas-
ing, four fold the subscription list, 1t is
one of the best conducted papers in the
United States, and will continue to be, as
long as Bro. Eginton has charge of it. His
circular, or handbill, is full of spirit, and
exemplifes the genuine Kentucky character.
He is strong for legal enactment against the
liquor traffic, and the influence of his ERA 4"
will hasten its destruction in his noble
State. Success to your enterprise, good Bro.
Eginton. We like to labor with such a
coadiutor.

&C. N. olds.

We take the following deserved notice of
this most worthy brother, and his masterly
effort at Richmond, Va, from the esprit
of the Age" published at Raleigh, N. @.
Hon. G. N. OLDs followed in fine effort.
He spoke of Ohio, the daughter of Virginia,
of her youth and beauty, and boosted that
she was far ahead of her venerated mother
in this great work of moral, social and
political reform. The people of Ohio have
engrafted upon their Constitution a feature
against legislating in favor of the traffic in
Intoxicating drinks, ami the people are now
making a mighty effort to wipe from their
statute book the least and last remains of
legal authority for the sale of this pauper-
making, God-delying poison. Thousands
of citizens of Ohio, were LARGELY en0aged
in its manufacture, and the effort was a
Herculean one on the part Of the friends of
Temperance, but the work would be accom-
plished-the Maine Law would, ere long.
be the law of Ohio, and the people would
be saved from the scathing lava of the
Liquor Still, and the land freed from the
vile lazar houses for vending it and he
called upon Virginia to follow the glorious
example set bya her fair and prosperous
daughter. Mr.. 0lds is quite young man,
of noble appearance and brilliant talents.
He wields keen battle-axe in the great
moral crusade, aud his blows tell with great
effect wherever made.

Not Mnoh left

We presume that the supply Of liquor in
Baltimore was very near exhausted before
the adjournment of the Wing Convention.
1t would be good time to enforce the
Maine law there, as but little property would
be destroyed. We never saw as much
drunkenness as we witnessed in Baltimore
during the session of the Democratic Con-
vention. We understand that it was, if
possible, still worse during the Wing Con-
vention. The Lord deliver the country from
the hands of drunken, trading, corrupt,
politicians

Now EIamnshira.

There is a strong determination on the
part of the people of the old Granite State
to have the Maine Law. Bro. Bungay in a
letter to the Life Boat, says The peo-
pie of New Hampshire are determined to
have the Maine Law. 1t is reported that
Franklin Pierce, the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency, although not practical
temperance man, looks favorably upon the
Maine Law. Governor Martins message
shows plainly that he is ready to sign such
a bill the moment the Legislature affords
him the opportunity. The pulpit and the
press of New Hampshire, with two or three
exceptions favor thelaw. Indeed, the "Cru-
sader comes out daily during the session,
advocating with great force the immediate
passage of the BILL Demagogues, Ounces
and dram dealers, Of course, are opposed 70
the law it would be pity if they were moi
while they maintain their present unenvia
bic position"

We are indebted to our friend, Robt.
Noble, of Halifax, for a copy of the

work of reform is steadily progressing

contains an interesting account of a
Temperance Soiree, in honor Of the
"SonsD connected with the 42d Royal
Highland Regiment, who were about to
leave for home. We also have the G.

glorious work of the Order there. The

The Meetings at Richmond.

As whatever transpired in connection
with the session Of the National Division,
will be read with interest and preserved
for future reference by those who file the
Organ, we this week give more de-
tailed account of the public meetings ta-
ken from the "Southern Era" an excel

ment of the Rev. DR.. Lee, of Richmond.
Our editors time was SO fully occupied,
that he had no leisure to take notes of
proceedings or speeches. 1t is his con-
viction that more good will result to the
Order and the great cause of Temperance
from this meeting, than from any other

The N. Y. journal of Commerce contains
the following item in relation to the great
sin of intemperance of that city. Father
Mathei0 has been there, and moral suGsiOn has
had full sway for long period of years.
The Maine Law is the only thing that can
eradicate this evil
Intemperance is fearfully prevalent in
this city, particularly among the lower clas.
ses, and is increasing. 1t involves an ex-
pense that frequently enroaches upon the
the ordinary comforts of life, and the dwell.

there is a secret enemy, despoiling them of
their goods, and exhausting all physical
vitality. A free government, or the advan.
tages of common school education cannot
avail to elevate the standard of character.
