The Temperance Movement and Politics.
The temperance movement is EN- hatically b.
ginning to assume formidable front in the field Of
politics. The success Of tho Maine liquor law has
given it tremendous impulse. Massachusetts
will doubtless be compelled to follow the example
Of Marie; and though the experiment has Just
failed. by small msjority against it, in Rhode
lslard it will DO persevered in with renewed vgor,
until the law Of temperance is law Of tho land.
The political temperance alliance recently or
CARRIED in this city, is but another consequence of
the liquor law Of Maine; ard the proceedings last
week 1T Albany, n the organization OF Q State
Temperance Alliance, admonish the grog shops
from Lorg Island to Drnkirk, ard from Ogdens
burg to the Pennsylvania border, that the hour
for the decisive battle With the Sons of Temperance
draws nigh. All these movements are ex.raordi-
nary AID remarkable, and suggestive OF the most
extraordinary and remarkable results. They dis
clcse new political element, dormant until now,
but capable, if brought into action, of most pro-
digious influence, in this State and in every Stats
and upon every question, and in every election,
from that Of constable to that of President Of the
United States.
One Of tho most remarkable aud significant
things connected with this new political enterprise
is to be found in the call for the Grand Temperance
Jubilee in this city, the 18th day of the present
month. In order to impress upon our readers the
imposing majesty Of this forthcoming festival, we
publish the proclaim alton, e1tetso, SO as to give
it the widest circulation upon the four winds Of
heaven, and to the utermost corners Of the earth.
