expect, and indeed dcslre us 70 give q slave'
ment of the condition and prospects Of the
paper. We have done so in every number,
with one or two exceptions. We COM
menced the publication Of the paper, with
barely JOEr hundred nsIO subscribers, relying
upon the friends of the cause generally, to
swell the list to as many thousands. To
any one acquainted with the ups and dOi0ns,
the suspensions and reissues of all tempe
rance publications that preceded the Organ,
it was hoping almost against hope but
there seemed a necessity for the commence
ment of paper devoted exclusively 20 the
advocacy of the temperance cause, and we
determined to run the risk, and publish the
paper. The present number is only the
fifteenth number Of the volume, and the pa

of three thousand t,Oo hundred, and a very en-
couraging prospect Of reaching five thou

We have right 70 rejoice over our tri-

true friend Of the cause. Very many Of our
warmest friends had fears that it would be
an uphill business, and became lukewarm
in consequence but a few warm and yea

which, all the powers of Rum cannot move
it-and the Car of Temperance moves on,
slowly but surely, to certain and trium.
phant victory. No one need now refuse his
patronage because he is afraid the paper
will not be regularly issued. If the reader
wishes to participate in the glorious strug

the adoption of the Maine Liquor Law, ht
must patronize the 0rgan--sustain it, and
as an advocate of the cause, it will sustain
you, and give you free admission to tn,
grand spectacle, shortly to come off, o

means of the Maine Law. We urge no on,
to waste his money, for all who patroniz
the Organ will be doubly paid at the enc
