Walk in.n


So we read, in starting capitals
on the doors of majority of the
hotels, saloons and grog-shops in our
city; and too many, we are sorry to
say, obey the invitation and cross the
threshold. Little do they think, as
they step into the gorgeous saloon, or
the more democratic grocery and
dram-shop, and with jests and light
words pass round the sparkling liquors,
that they are on the broad way
to destruction but such is, neyerthe- |
less, the fact. Let the man who ten
years ago first "walked in" to one
of these hotels, saloons or groceries,
with which every street in our city
abounds, pause for moment and
consider his condition, and then look
at those who were then young like
himself, and walked in with him.
What is your own condition, and what
is the condition Of your companions2
Are you richer, wiser or in any man
ner benefited by walking inl Do
those friends whG 81 IA ssith.s .s..s
ten years ago, still continue to waik
in with you now7 AIasl no. You
have wasted thousands of dollars
you have impaired your intellect, and
have in every way degraded and
brutalized your nature. And you
have companions. Some of them have
gone down to premature grave
some of them may be found in the
gutter-some in the mayors Office of
mornings--and few of them, per-
haps like yourself, with red eyes and
carbuncled nose, still visit the old
haunts, and pass round the bottles that
have been the cause Of their and your
ruin. These are no honied phrases,
and may not be as palatable to you
as are your daily potations, but they
are far more wholesome, for they are
truths. To you, who have daily for
ten years, been walking into those
sink-holes of iniquity, from whence
emanate nine.tenths Of all the crimes
and misery that curse our land, they
will be Of but little service. The
thirst which cannot be allayed, has
been formed, and has grown with your
growth and strengthened with your
years. You seek the unhallowed cup
to ouench the burning thirst that
drives sweet sleep from your midnight
hours, but this is only as pouring oil
upon burning house. The raging
fame is rekindled by the draught, and
no peace is found until reason is de-
throned, and insensibility steals upon
your emaciated and tattered frame.
You have not fortitude to retrace your
steps and eschew your evil habits
But to you who are just commencing
career of dissipation and folly, we
would say beware pass by the doors
on which are painted the fatal words,
"Waik im," for if you heed the in.
junction, you will waste your time and
money, injure your health, destroy
your intellect, lose your reputation,
and walk in at last to drunkard'
grave. ATLAS

al benefit. The opposing candidate
all that time was a Son oil Temperance,

what law we had on the liquor traffic.
With this understanding, the reader
of the Maine Law would read and ex-
plain to those ignorant and half-drunk
men, telling them that on the day of
election a vote was to be taken rela-
tive to. the Maine Law, whether it
should be adopted or not. After
reading awhile, he would stop and
enquire of them, now do you want
such a law as this ? if so, vote for
Davidson if not, vote for ME. On

Anderson said so; and you may well

FAVOR OF THE MAINE LAW.
To the Senate and House of Representative
AIha1v Nav VOrb

To the Senate and House of Representative,
Albany, New York;
DEAR FATHEs AND BRoTHERs
We understand that you are at the
great Council House at Albany, and
that the great Council Fire is now
burning, and that our white brothers
air over the State are sending wood
to put on the council fire, butwe 'iraid
the council fire will not burn bright
and clear without more help; SO we
send this to make it burn. Now,
brothers, what we want to say is this :
We hear about our brothers in the
State Of Maine - we hear that they
find GREAT ROGUE = this Rogue he
gets folks money, sometimes he burns
houses, sometimes he kills people,
sometimes he make a family very
poor, sometimes he take way senses,
sometimes he make 'em very cross
and ragged and dirty, and sometime
he freeze 'em to death.
Now we mere our brothers there
they try to stop it - they talk about
it, see if can stop it little-but he won't
stop it. We hear at last our brothers
won't bear it no longer-so they make
law to knock him on head anywhere
they find him = in barrel, or jug, or
bottle in tavern, grocery or barn ;
anywhere-knock him on the head.
Now we want to tell you, brothers,
this big Rogue has been here to
Onondaga, he has made, us great
trouble. Some of our people would
be very good, if this bad fellow would
keep away. We try-our people try
some too, but he will not. Now what
we ask you is, to make laws-such as
our brothers in the State Of Maine
have made. We have tried to coax
him, but he won't be coax; we try
scare-he won't scare much; he still

M. Editor: In our village there is g
small division Of the Sons Of Temper
ance, but / am sorry 10 say chat they
do not exert that influence over the
drinking community that they ought
/ suppose one reason is, that some Of
our most prominent citizens, and even
members Of the church do not COS
o }erate with them, but rather oppose
the Organization. This rather en-
courages the rummies more than dis
courages them /; politicians strive 70

cause in order to get into Office !

then he make us no more troubles
We Christian party ask it, and some
Pagan, too = most all ask it - you
make this law.
Now, brothers, our people sold our
land to white people, and white people
make treaty - he say he be good to
Indian. But he let this Rogue trouble
us most too long. Now, brothers, we
was one great people, and we have
gone to war for our white brothers /;
but now we are few, and our white
brothers are strong. We want you
help us-we want you make this law,
SO when we find this Rogue we will
keep him. We see him great many
times, but we mean to be good and
peaceable, and so he got away; but
il you make this law, then We kill him
and then we live happy and friendly
no more cross - no more ragged
no more fight -but raise corn, wheat,
oats, beans, cattle, horses, and some
children too no more get drunk--no
more freeze to death - work and get
good things like white men.

NFNANNFAHhps wv So AS~es
Bro. Cary: In the Organ Of the
18th inst, l find communication
from Bro. Sherwood, former g. s., on
the subject Of the Mitchell claim, in
which Bro. Sherwood makes the fol-
lowing remark:
"Now lam really astonished to see
a report doing such palpable injustice
to Bro. Mitchell and myself, after the
explanation which gave to the COM
mittee and the G. d. at the last spring
session."
After which he gives the facts in
the case in reference to the tickets.
Now, if you please, / wish to state a
few facts.
lst. Bro. Sherwood was before the
the committee at the spring session,
and did make the statement, / believe,
he makes in his letter, and that com
mittee no doubt were satisfied, and
made their report, which was adopted.
See proceedings Of the G. d. session
at Mount Vernon, p. 81.
But, end. Just at the close of the
business Of the session, the G.. w. p.
informed me that the G. S. Bro. Scott
had just informed him thnt o.

had just informed him that ~
which Bro. Mitchell had acknowl-
edged, and suggested the necessity of
reconsideration of vote adopting
the report. Immediately moved a
reconsideration, which carried. Bro.
Mitchell rose in his place, and moved
the appointment Of committee, and
that should be continued chairman,
which carried. (See same proceed
ings, page 33). The G.. W. P. ap.
pointed G. w. Swain, w. Bremigam,
and P. Sells. Bro. Bremigam was re-
ported as objecting to serve, and Bro.
Sherwood was appointed in his place.
3rd. When the Grand Division met
at Circleville, Bro. Sells and myself
being all of the committee present, |
moved to have the vacancy occasion
ed by the absence of Bro. Sherwood
filled, and Bro. Walls was appointed.
4th. The committee met and en-
quired for information in reference to
the reported error in the account, but
were not able to find any evidence
before them to detect any error, and
Bro. Mitchell denied having ever
agreed to an error, as stated before
the G. D. at Mount Vernon.
9th. The committee, after as care
full an examination of the subject as
could be made, (Bro. Walls having
before him and noticing the minutes
of G. d. held at Marietta, in which
the Tickets was taken from the
resolution, brought in their report as
found in the proceedings at Circle
vile.
| 9Th. | made a statement to the com.
mittee, as near as | could, Of what
Brog Sherwood said on the subject
before the committee at Mount Yer
non and also when | read our re.
port, / stated to the G. D. that Bro
Sherwood had said that these tickets
had been sold and the proceeds cred
tied to the G.. D. on the books. In the
committee room, we were desirous
to find on the books enteries to that
effect, but could not. When our re.
port was made, some of the brethren
took the books and examined, and, ii
am not mistaken, Bro. Gary was one
who examined. No enteries were
found. If l am not much mistaken,
it was by common consent agreed in
the G. D., that if Bro S. could satisfy
the G. D. that the tickets were sold
and credited to the G. D., the account
would still be allowed.
7th. am truly sorry that Bro. S
should charge the committee with edo
ing injustice, polpa6le injustice, to hin
and Bro. NJ, after the explanation
given to the committee at Mount Yer
non." Bro. S. will please notice thai
the committee at Circleville was ar
entire nes0 committee, except myself
Bro. S. does not intend his remark
wholly for me, / trust if he does,
have only to say, SO far as have
acted in the premises, | have actec
consistently.
9th. Bro. Sherwood was appointed
on the committee specially on accoun
of having a knowledge of the whole
transaction, and why was BRO. s. NJ
