LocOmOtiOn.

Merlin, who promised his countrymen
that
They should sail far over the sea,
With hempen bride, and horse of tree"
was not much of prophet after all, or he
would have foretold
/" The harnessed steeds that never tire,
FOaled of the furnace, and fed on fire."
There is nothing new to be said on the
present facilities for transportation. The
subject has been exhausted in illustrations
made appropo to literary addresses, temper
ance lectures and stump speeches.
The whole world" as the French have
it, has set out upon its travels, Migration
is marked by currents, periodical, variable,
or perpetual. Through Ohio, during the
latter spring and early summer, the tide
Of humanity is setting strongly to the North
ward. The cares for the lakes are filed to
overhowing with crowds eager to enjoy the
cool breezes from Erie and Ontario. While
on the return the solitary passenger. luxu-
riously extended, may be accommodated
with two, or perhaps four seats. When the
the sun enters Virgo, the stream is setting
with equal violence in its refux to the
South.
On the lakes, the tide-of-mortality, we
night, in view of late occurrences, call it
is variable. From the Sault ST. Marie
to Niagara, there is an upper current set
ting in either direction, which overfows
the state.rooms and after-cabins. While
the under current, filling the deck and steer
age, and second class cars, composed of
swedes and Swiss, French and Flemish,
Danes and Dutch, is moving steadily to the
indefinite West.

rae ORGAN OF TRE TEMPERANCE

than is given by the manufacture o
liquor This business paralyzes indus
try, puts out the fires Of genius, and
cOrrupts and depraves the morals o.
the nation,
Yes, we "carry the war into Afri-
ca" and maintain that in a purely COM
mercial point Of UieaO, without any re-
ference to the cost Of pauperism
and crime, and insecurity Of life and
morals, an ant-liquor law Of the most
stringent character is demanded.
If every distillery in the United
States was burned down to-day, and
law was passed by Congress, cut
ting off all importation of foreign Ii
quors, it would be saving to the ma
ton of millions Of dollars in a single
year. Why should a fep men be per-
mitted to impair the commerce and de-
range the trade of great and mighty
nation, when even they themselves are
almost universally the losers by the
operation =!
We challenges All political econo-
mists, by any sophistry or argument,
to shake our positions.
We conclude this article by re-af-
frming, that the interests of trade and
commerce, both foreign and domestic,
imperatively demand laws entirely pro-
hibiting the liquor manufacture and
traffic. And this without reference
to the moral desolations which are
wrought in every neighborhood and
in almost every family in the land.

Mass Tempe rance Convention.

The Sons of Temperance will hold a
Mass Convention in the City of Cleveland,
on the 18th, 10th and 18th of September
The object of which is to adopt such mea,
sures as will secure Law in Ohio, similar
to the Maine Liquor Law" The mem
bers of the Order are earnestly urged to
come, and bring their RegaIia. The most
distinguished speakers will be present, and
it is hoped that every Division in the State
will be represented.
To the, friends of Temperance generally
we would say, now is the time for action.
Come one, come all, and lend your in
fuence to movement that eventually must
sweep the curse of Intemperance from our
State.

The Presbytery of Onandagua.

One Of the most cheering signs of
the times is, that the friends of religion
"see eye to eye" on the great subject
of legal enactment against the liquor
traffic. The Maine Law is greatly ad-
mired by intelligent, God-fearing men.
The Rev. DR.. STEWART, of Andover,
venerable for his years and wisdom,
said, just before he expired, to the
temperance men of Maine: " When
mighty conquerors and crafty politi-
clans will be forgotten, the laurels on
your brows will be freshening and
blooming with beauty and glory that
will be immortal"
The Presbytery of Onandagua has
issued an address to the churches un-
der its care, urging their cooperation
and efforts to secure such a law in
New York. In their appeal they ask:
"If you die leaving behind you the
present law Of license, may not your
child become u drunkard When
your tongue is palsied, and your heart
is cold, may not that lone orphan of
yours enter the dram shop yOu hare te-
galiSed, and be lured down step by
step, till his bloated body shall drop
into the grave, and his scathed spirit
shall sink into hell ?"
In reference to the remedy, the ap-
peal says, I'VE wanta law that Crap
pies the monster himself. That bars
the wolf from our fold, that seizes and
strangles him, if he dare to overleap
his enclosures. This alone will aid
us: A rapidly increasing proportion
of our rum-sellers are foreigners of
the lowest cast. Nothing but the
long and strong arm of the law will
reach them. As long as money can
be made by the Iafic, there are men
who would build their dram shops in
the crater of a volcano. They would
sell rum amid the heavings Of an
earthquake. AS the poor drunkard
steps down the precipice, and hangs
suspended over the bottomless pit,
they would bend over him, and put
within his clattering teeth the dra ught
that would unnerve his arm, and
plunge him into the eternal abyss.
We must have this law to protect u.s."
We might add that synods and con-
ferences, aud associations without
number, have spoken in equally de-
cided and emphatic tones.
Let us have the embodied religious
sentiment of our nation with us, in a
clear and out-spoken manner, and our
triumph is sure.

The Strongest Arguments.

At Salem and Worcester, the enc
mics of law and order resisted the ex-
ecution of the liquor law by throwing
"rotten eggs" at those who sought
its enforcement. We do not wonder
at this, for the scape graces" have
no stronger arguments to offer. We
can remember when any man was
in danger Of being pelted with unmer-
chantable eggs for daring to speak in
a public assembly in favor of temper
ance. The minions of the liquor traf-
fc soon learned that temperance men
were not to be siIenced in that way.
And they will find out that this sort
of resistance to law will only hasten
the good time coming"
The liquor traffic is a rotten bus-
ness it produces nothing but {" bad
eggs" and these facts have been long
known by all decent people. Hence
no alarm need be aPprehended as to
the final result. Every grog-shoP,
dismantled of its liquors, is a cleans
ing out of "nest" Of bad eggs, and
men engaged in the dirty but holy
work must expect an occasionas exPlo'
sion from the abundance of sulphura
ated hydrogen engendered in these
filthy cess-pools of society.

AAANsNs~NA~-
The Editor is in the daily receipt
bf letters, complaining that he does
Inot ind time to visit places here and
there, and everywhere, and talk to the
people on the subject Of Temperance.
Many correspondents do not seem to
remember that we cannot be in more
Than one place at the same time. We
have received many letters from little
oantry villages thousand miles of,
% unimportant that they have not a
place on any map of the State, urging
Fusfo give them tsOO or three days eJ-
Joris, and pleading their necessities
and the importance Of their position,
and the wide influence that we could
cOhmand. &c, &c.
We do not complain of this earnest
desire to awaken proper spirit, but
we beg our friends to remember that
we have not the power of ubiquity;
and that there is allotted to us only
365days in year.
Z q toeocr roO&a..4Ad dnrinot iossv'
week, says "the people are constant
ly inquiring, why don't you get Cary
to come and address us?" Another
says eve have written you so often,
that we begin to feel that you slight
Vs." One good Brother says "your
former visit and speeches revived US
exceedingly. There is no estimating
the amount Of good done, and we all
feel that yo1 must come among as
again" This letter was from place
we visited less than a year ago by
special i'sUitatiOn,-paid our own trav-
cling expenses, and our tavern bills
while there, in all some twenty dol
lars, and we are very glad that =" in
estimable good was DONE"
To relieve the minds of any who
think hard of our declining their in
vitations we will give them the last
weeks calls. We have had a press
ing invitation from North Carolina,
one from Virginia, one from Tennes-
see, two from Kentucky, one from
Missouri, one from Iowa, two from
Illinois, five from Indiana, three from
Michigan, three from New York, one
from Vermont, one from Canada and
eight from Ohio in all thirty.
This is but a fair specimen of the
demands for our services every week.
The Macedonian cry comes to us one
day from Nova Scotia, the next from
Texas, The thTd from Minnesota, &c,
&c. 1t is painful for us to decline
these petitions. But it is source of
unspeakable satisfaction to learn that
the brethren every where are waking
up, and maniIesting an earnest deter
mination to arrest the terrible evils of
intemperance.

Wo! Wo!!

The Boston Commonwealth says
that a Rum seller in that city, dropped
dead while drunkard's wife was re-
monstrating with him for selling rum
to her husband. "Wo unto him that
giyeth drink to his neighbor."
Because sentence against an evil
work is not speedily executed, the
hearts of men are fully set in them to
do evil.

Michigan Awake,

The Grand Division of Sons of Tenn
perance of Michigan, at their recent
session in Detroit, passed the follow
ing resolutions. They appear to us to
have some point to them
"1st. Resolved, That the Alpha
and Omega of the cause Of Temper
ance in our State, is the passage Of a
prohibitory law, similar to the Maine
Law.
Cd. That it is the duty Of every
good Son of Temperance to exert his
utmost endeavors to secure the elecl
tion of such men, and only such, as
are known by their standing in com
munity, to be true friends to the pas
sage of such acts.
Sd. That we will use our best en-
deavors to have every School District
in our State visited by one or more lee
turers on the subject, and in procuring
signatures and petitions to our Legis-
lature, to give us the Maine Law mex

The Cincinnati Gazette, after aIlu-
ding to the anti-liquor laws of Maine,
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, and
the difficultiesin the way Of enforcing
them, concludes thus:
