New Political MOvcm INSTRUMENTATION OF
New Reform Temperance Party.
1t is very we'll known that during number of
years past, various efforts have been AIDE TO organ
ize temperance party in this city, by temperance
lectures, temperance meetings, and agitatons for
the reformation Of the Incorporate, Of all kinds
Up to November last, this movement had no
reference to political action, either in this city
or in the State. The influence, however, of
bad men at the primary elections, and the
general Generalization of both Of the old parties in
this State through this cause, have caused large
body Of old politicians and Of new moralists to form
new political party, organized on temperance
principles, and to be conducted as to produce if
possible, an entire temperance reform, and the alb
clifton OF all the grog shops throughout the city
ard State AT the last election the leaders Of this
movement controlled SeUta taNasG,,a Uotes, which
determined the issue Of the conres. against the
wings Of the old corrupt line
This movement is significant Of q very import mt
condition of things. that may be expected TO take
place during the present year The fret success Of
the temperance movement il politics--amounting,
as we have said, to seven thousand votes-is least
as important as the first movement OF the work
ingmen's party, few years SEC, or that OF the
native American party when it was first organized
in this city. This successful application Of moral
feeling 10 political action, is, doubtlessiy, capable
of e1ganZiTg new party, provided it has q ba-
els to rest it's future action upon. Accordingly.
this new temperance party commences with CAPT
,al Of seven thousand votes IN this city, and we
do not know how many more throughou. the State,
besides vass amount OF sympathy in al the New
England States. to say nothing Of the support Of all
the reformed d.unkards wEo have turned from thsr
evil ways during the last twenty years. under the
ministratiops Of Father Mathew and other apostles
Of temperance. Thus we see, since The las; elec-
ton in this city, the temperance army OF
thousand are organizing their forces for another
ortet at the next and future elections. They are
alre sdy organized in the same way as the two old
parties are and the following rrouul:iumq.to, re-
Gently issued, contains their views on the subject-
