BRo. CLARK We are having quite a
temperance revival in our town at present.
A revival that is not confined to Temper
ance Halls, but revival that is going on
just where it should be, viz: in the church.
Alta public meeting held on the evening
OF the 9th inst, a Committee Of two from
each congregation were appointed to visit
their respective Pastors, and request them
to preach a sermon to their several coDgre-
cations on the subject of Temperance; this
request they have generally complied with.
Besides this, two Of them lecture on Friday
evening of each week alternately. The
subject discussed at these meetings is the
Maine Law !" in this way many have been
reached, and have become warm advocates
Of said Law, who have heretofore been op-
posed to legal suasion.
Green county has many working temper
ance men, who are now circulating the petit
tion for the maine Law, ;" in each town
ship being desirous to have long list to
forward to Columbus on the 25th inst, and
on that list will be found many names that
were never before signed to temperance
petition. earnestly pray, that the little
stone cut out of the mountain, far away in
the north east, will soon roll over the fruit
full valleys of the Great West OverturDing
in its onward advance the still-houses and
drinking shops, which mar the peace and
destroy the happiness of so many Of our
friends and neighbors.
Let us thank God for what he has done
and is still doing for the temperance cause;
and let as be encouraged to go on in the
blessed work ofreform, until our fair and
otherwise happy country, shall be freed
from the shackles of intemperance. Yours,
A LAB0RER.

Rhode Island,

The General Assembly of this State, by
the close vote of 81 to 81, rejected the
Maine Law. There is day of reckoning
coming for those who voted nay. There is
a spirit abroad among the people in that
little State which will not be satisfied until
those who have triAed with the popular
will shall be weighed in the balance and
found wanting. We expect to see the bal
lot-box appealed to direct on this question
in Rhode Island, and in other States where
the Legislatures refuse to pass the Maine
Law. The guns of political parties will be
spiked for time, and this question will
furnish battle ground. If party issues
are laid aside, and the naked issue of rum
or no rum is put, we have no fears Of the
result anywhere in the Northern or Middle
States.

SANDUsKY Cry, Feb. 16, 1859.
BRo. CLARK - Dear Sir We have been
doing considerable for the "cause in this
place, by the way of circulating the Maine
Liquor La1D Petitions and having temper
ance addresses delivered in the "Sons of
Temperance Hall and other public places.
We had very interesting address by the
Rev Bro Desbro, last Wednesday evening;
and although it was very stormy evening,
we had a large audience, of which a ma
iority were ladies-all seemed to be very
mrch interested in the cause" We have
great reason to take courage, as we have
lad several applications from ladies for
petitions, for the purpose of circulation
among their friends and the public. All
express their regret that they did not re-
ceive them when we commenced to circu-
late, and appeared very Jealous for the
Maine Law. We have ladies in this city
who truly have the spirit of the noble wo-
men of the Revolution-and | have no
doubt but we will succeed, as the Father of
this great nation did, and free ourselves from
the CALLING yoke imposed upon us by the
worst of tyrants, King Alcohol" and his
emissares the rum-sellers, who are in every
hole and corner" seeking whom they may
destroy.
We have great need of the Maine Law in
this city, as we have in our midst about
ninety Murder Mills, with a population OF
eight thousand.
We have Union of the Daughters, also
a Tent of Rachabites, lately organized, and
increasing rapidly; also small but efficient
Division of the Sons of Temperance, who
have spread light all around, and will con-
tinue to do so, until something more eff
cient (if possible) shall arise and eclipse
their brilliancy. Many Of them are to at
tend the great Temperance Convention to
be held at Columbus on the 25th of this
month. Success to them.
Hoping to be able to communicate with
you again very sOoU, remain yours re-
spectfully, in Love, Purity and Fidelity,
A "SoN."

{" Fools" "

Our Columbus correspondent says that
on the presentation of petition from Gin
cinnati for the Maine Law, member from
this county wished the names read, as he
thought "nO man in Cincinnati aoas fool
enough to sign such petition"
If the gentleman's constituents are want,
ing in good sense, this is not the first time
they have evinced it. five wished to prove
that there were fools in Cincinnati, we
would rest the case after adducing testi.
mcny that they had elected such BOBBY
to the General Assembly of the State Of
Ohio. If they were on trial, on charge Of
being non cOmpOS, nothing would save them
from conviction, but proof that this thing
was elected by the rarty's strength, and
not his own.

COLUMBUS, Feb. IL, 1852.
Mr.. EDITOR In recent number of your
paper you referred to the firm and vigorous
health of the venerable Gov. Morrow, in
connection with the fact that he had, during
his long and eventful life, been temper
ance man. This is an interesting fact, and
another equally interesting, is, that recently
the venerable Governor sent a petition to
our Legislature, signed by himself and sew
eral of his neighbOrs, praying for the enact
ment of law for the suppression of the
liquor traffic. What testimony can be given
stronger than this against the use of intoxi-
eating drinks.
Here is man who has seen more than
four score years of uncommon toll and hard
ship, both of mind and body, and has OBJ
served closely the effects of using and of
abstaining from intoxicating drinks, and
now he bears what may be called his dying
testimony against the use of such drinks.
The testimony of few men is so important.
He stands at the latter end of the journey of
life, and looks back through the dim dis
tance and sees the victims of intemperance
scattered on every side of his pathway.
And now he raises his trembling voice in
supplication to the Legislature Of his State,
to suppress the cause of all this misery.
Shall he be heard, and shall his prayer be
answered VIII not every friend of hu-
manity feel animated with new zeal in this
blessed cause, when he knows he is sus-
tanned by such prayers and councils
But, in contrast with this, another fact
may be stated. A few days ago, petition
from your city for the Maine Law was pre-
sented to the Legislature, and member
from your county called for the reading of
the petition, and the names attached to it,
for the reason that he thought "no man in
Cincinnati was fool enough to sign such a
petition"
Let the intelligent people of Cincinnati
see in this contrast, the character Of one of
their representatives, and let them decide
the question whether the venerable Gov.
Morrow is a fool he who for more than
ten years represented the State of Ohio in
the Congress of the United States, who was
President of the Convention that formed the
first Constitution of our State, and for many
years the chief executive officer of Ohio.
Mr.. Editor, some of the best men in our
Legislature are hoping to see thousands of
such fools send up their petitions from your
city for the Maine Law, and probably you
are daily soliciting people to do such a
foolish act. Do you not feel flattered by
the compliment of your representative? But
persevere. Perhaps there is "higher
Law by which to Judge your conduct and
character, and the decision of your represen-
tative may be reversed before the tribunal,
when that law bears sway. E. 7.

John r. Williams

Is in the field, and doing good service in
the cause of temperance he has been in
Wayne comfy the past week, and is now
laboring in Mount Vernon.
While attending meeting, eight miles
north of Wooster, in company with brother
J. H. Kauke, General Deputy of Wayne
county, some of the customers from dog
gerry near where the meeting was held went
to the stable where brother Kauke had his
horse, and shaved the name and tail of the
horse, and cut up his harness. The horse
is somewhat disfgured, but friend Kauke
considers his value much enhanced, and
temperance cause has gained enough in the
operation to make up for all loss. The
friends of temperance are wide awake in
Wayne, and will give report of themselves
at the Convention on the 25th.
Yours in the cause,
WAYNE.

1J- The following Circular has been is
sued from Columbus throughout the State.
There is reason to hope that Neal Dow will
be there. The other gentlemen named are
quite sure to be there.
Sir: The undersigned having been ap-
pointed a Committee to address u Circular
to the friends of Temperance throughout the
State, urging them to take prompt measures
to secure a full attendance at the State
Temperance Convention, to be held in Co
lumbus on the 25th day of February, 1852,
would respectfully call your attention to
the following statements in reference to the
Importance of the ensuing Convention.
The Legislature of our State is now hold
ing its first session under the new Consti-
tuition, and tens of thousands of petitions
from all parts of the State will be presented
for the Maine La,0," that is, law entirely
prohibiting thetrafic in Intoxicating liquors
as beverage.
As no license can be granted under the
new Constitution, the issue is now between
free trade and total prohibition, and as the
Legislature, under the new Constitution,
meets biennially, if a prohibitory law is
not enacted this session, free trade in alco-
hol will curse our beloved State during the
next two years. In view of the terrible re-
suits of such a state of things, is not every
friend Of humanity called upon to put forth
all his energies to avert the evil, by securing
the enactment of prOhibitOry law.
Gen. SAMUEL HousToN, from Texas. NEAL
Dow, from Maine. JOHN B. GoUGH, from
Massachusetts,, and GEN. S. +. CARY, of Gin
cinnati, will be in attendance and address
the Convention.
Permit us, Sir, to urge you to call meet
ings in every township and school district
in your county, and adopt any other means
necessary to animate the friends of the
cause, and urge them to come up to the
Capital City, on the 25th inst, by hundreds
and thousands, determined that the reign
of alcohol MUST and SHALL cease. Let the
people will it, and it is done.
Ample provisions will be made to accom-
modate all who may come to the Conven-
ton
We have assurances the fare on the Rail-
roads leading to our City, will be reduced
one-third or One-half below usual rates, in
favor of persons coming to the Temperance
Convention and returning.

AUSTRIA AND THE UNITED STATES The Vi
emma correspondent of the London News, @ri-
ting under date Of the 18th ult., says:-
"There appears to be very hostile feeling
growing up between Austria and America; and
there is a report about certain dispatches of a
very curious nature having been recently sent
from the government of the United States to
Vienna. This feeling is worth mentioning, be-
cause it has ony arisen lately. But a few
months ago very friendly relations were existing,
aud one Of the Austrian archdukes actually set
out on a voyage to New York, and was only de-
layed by VIOLENT fever, which seized him at
Trieste"
The foregoing cannot have reference TO the
late reception OF KosSuth in Washington nor to
the nteryieg between Chevalier Huldemann
and the President, for intelligence Of these events
could not have reached Vienna. We recollect
noticing lately, in Vienna letter, that special
bearer Of dispatches had arrived in that city
from Washington.

Riot Mt { IeVeIand

CLEVELAND, FEB, II.
Yesterday at noon, part of "subject" was
found within the precincts of the Homeopathic
College, on Ontario street. Immediately the fire
bells were rung, and other means taken TO collect
a mob, but until evening every thing was quiet,
when from one to two thousand persons assem-
bed; and notwithstanding the efforts of the city
authorities to preserve order, every window in
the building was broken, except those belonging
to a few private rooms, and the interior of the
building completely gutted
One man was detected in an attempt to set it on
firesand arrested.
Several persons thought that they identified the
remains of friends and relatives among those dis
covered in the building.
At late hour quiet was restored, and the build
ing was left standing.
This morning the infuria ed mob again assem-
bled on the ground and as we write the military
companies are proceeding to the scene Of tumult
for the purpose OF resi- oring order.
