protect themselves? Ofold said that the law
was made for the upg0dy and for sinners, for mur-
derers Of fathers and murderers of mothers and Tor
slsyers." But with us the case seems TO be re-
protection in their Legitimate business whilst
their victims are given over to starve in rags and
die in r0ttenness.
Determined to effect a permanent and radical
charge in the legislature of our State on this sub
ject, the Executive Committee Of the New York
State Temperance Alliance invite the earnest and
prompt co operation Of all their fellow citizens who
perceive its necessity and desire its attainment.
This great end raa only be secured By the most tho
rough organisation, and the Infusion of ONE spiT
into our entire ranks. The enemy with whom We
have to contend Is artful unscrupulous. False
Issues Of all kinds win be raised to divert atcn-
ton, and to deceive us as to our true line OF policy
Especially win the party attachments and predilec
tions-from which but few Of US arc cxempt-be
used to draw away from the one issue We now in
tend to make. Tho teachings of IN enemy are not
to be despised Let us then use oar positions as
trhigs and democrats for 0ic1 purposes. No one
hcc, far aci OF no
ton can bear moments comparison with this.
What at this period chiefly need, is, that every
county and every town in the State, have each It's
alliance tho former. that all the towns within its
bounds BIO brought into harmonious action with re-
ference to the selection of candidates for legislative
and other Offices the latter, that every voter may
lave brought to his notice and attention, Our OBJ
iects our arguments, and our plans. We have an
entire and abiding confidence in the integrity and
honesty of purpose Of the great mass of our voters
Lot give them the facts essential to the formation
Of an enlightened Judgment. That done, our work
is accomplished.
In addition to tho County Alliances, whichare
constituted Of delegates from the towns, and these
latter which are to include none but legal voters,
it is greatly desirable that auxiliary to these there
should be in every town female alliances. The
constitution of the State does not confer on women
the right of voting; yet most eifoctually do they
vote through their husbands, fathers sons, bro
thers friends. Their influence is with US now. In
the nature OF the case il cannot be, as we would
it, md use it
Again, we urge the formation Of Young Mems
Alliances. If cd men are needed for counsel, still
more are, the young wanted Tor action; Let
their enthusiasm in our glorious, cause be once
awakened, and the victory ia more than half won.
Especially do beseech all our friends, let there
be 10 delay in your organizations. Remember the
days are few. and they rapidly dimini shing in
number, between this hour md that when the BAL
lot shall decide the issue for another year Some
little self denial may be demanded Of you; but what
good ever was accomplished without it!
Do not be dcceved by. the idea that it does not
belong to you personally to take the initiative il
tho movement in your county or town. Vt belongs
10 every true patriot and Christian. Show forth
in this the glory OF your birthrig ht-indvidualit
OF chr raeter-and the work is done. The will OF
one determined man may thrill The hcartstrings OF
a nation. Enlargement and deiyerance shall yet
surely arise to peoples but il another shall be
the delyerer, to him shall belong the glory.
