Our Opinion exactly.

Gov. Hunt Of New York, in a
canting on the State prison pun
ments says, " Punishment by show Z
bath is inhuman, unwarranted by law,
and it should be abandoned" This
barbarous mode of punishment exists
in the States prison of Ohio, as well
as in other States, and we have ever
regarded it as an abominabIe outrage.
Serious if not fatal consequences have
often resulted from its administration.
The convict is lashed tight to a post,
so as to be unable to move limb, and
then a stream Of cold water is let fall
upon his head from some distance
above, and continued just as long as
an inhuman and cold -blooded oYerseer
may think 1T. We maintain that de
poor wretches in the Penitentiary are,
or should be, under the protection Of
law, and that those having them in
charge have no more right to mfiict
such a cruel punishment for disobe-
dience, than they have to put them
unon the g rack. . or apply the s'thum
screw" or hang them up By the neck.
The barbarities and cruelties inflicted
in the States Prisons Of our land, are
reproach to civilized age, and we
are glad that such men as Gov Hunt
are looking into this mater.

Inconsistency.

A man who processes much out
ward devotion to the cause of Temper
ance, remarked some days since that
he could not support the Maine Law
for the reason that he thought it anti
republican, but he would go heart
and hand for refusing license to those
slow doggeries" which infest our city,
reserving the right of making drunk
ards only to genteel houses--thus
intimating that polish made the gen.
tleman and entitled him to special
privileges delusion which many
have unfortunately fallen into. But
when told that these doggeries were
absolutely necessary to kill off worth
less vagabonds who were a nuisance
in society-an incubus upon the body
politic-made such by these clash
ionable houses" and then kicked
out-he began to see his isinconsistency
and ingratitrde to these 6enefactors oI
society, and came to the conclusion
that the man who made drunkards out
Of decent and industrious men, and
then turned them out upon communi'
ity, should be execrated by every phi
lanthropist whilst he whose business
is only to kill off such worthless sots

The Order.

We receive encouragement weekly
from different quarters, that a revival
spirits animating our brethren. Good
and true men who have hitherto stood
aloof, are beginning to realize the fact,
that the only hope for the success and
triumph of our cause, is in the perpe-
tuity and enlargement Of our Order.
Take this fact, readers, and let it in
spire you with new zeal. Week be-
fore last, 8erenty-pajne of the most
respectable and influential men oi
Lexington, Ky, applied for a charter
to open a new Division in that city.
It was of course granted, snd that
noble Bro. Eginton, assisted by Judg
Graves and others, opened the Divis-
ion and installed their officers.

This forcible, argumentatve and
convincing appeal 10 the people of
Ohio, in behalf of immediate legis-
lative action with regard to the great
and vital principles involved in the
Maine Law, written at the unanimous
request of the Grand Division of Ohio,
by Gen. S. F. CARY, THos. H. Cum
MINGs, and II. CANFIELD, is receiving
the attention which its paramount i'm
portance to the best interests Of the
community so imPeriously demand.
We sincerely hope that every friend
of the great cause Of Temperance,
and all those who still love to 'look
upon the wine when it giyeth its color
in the cup" throughout the length
and breadth of our State, could be
persuaded to read and attentively
examine the facts and arguments ad-
vanced in this production.

cnArp1rrsvILIE, O, Nov. II. ls52.

Bro. Cary: The approaching ses-
sion Of the Legislature will, no doubt,
materially affect the interest Of the
Temperance reform in this State.
The friends of temperance should now
arise from the lethargy into which
they have fallen and exert themselves
manfuIly in the defense and further
ance of the great principles which
they have avowed.
But in order that all may work to
advantage, it is necessary that there
should be some wel-defned, uniform
mode Of action.
Various plans have been proposed,
in order that our legislators may most
certainty know oar wilI, and be
brought to REALIZE that it is both their
duty and their interest, to enact law
similar to the liquor killing Maine law.
Some are in favor Of pedtioning the
Legislature in the old, regular, senli-
mental style: Your petitioners most
hun5ly pray,'' &c, while others pro-
pose holding public meetings, taking
the vote in reference to the proposed
law, and transmitting the returns q
said vote 70 the Legislature

Read and Reflect.

We commend the following to the
friends of the "lquOr-killIing" law
in Ohio. The plan meets our hearty
approval. 1t is justiight-we concur
entirely with the suggestion in the
postscript in relation to the petitions
sent up last winter. They are still
before them as unfinished business,
and all Temperance men can now con-
sislently do, who have petitioned this
- = p let them know empliati-
cally that they were in earnest, and
that they have not changed their
minds. This is done effectually by
the men Of " Salt Creek township"

Call for a State Temperance Con,
Vention.

The friends of Temperance in the several
counties in this State are requested to meet
in some central place or places on the third
Saturday ll8th) of December next, and at
such meeting to discuss the propriety of a
law entirely prohibiting the liquor traffic in
Ohio, and designate large number of del
egates to represent their views in State
Convention to be held in the city of Colum
bus on the first Wednesday of January
(the 5th), 1853.
All the papers in this State are requested
to publish this call.

MIDDLEBURGH, o., Nov. 23d, 1859.
Bro Cary: Permit me to say few
words to your numerous readers rela.
tive to the condition and prospect of
Temperance in this vicinity. The
cause, like the course of a gentle
stream, is marching on, regardless Of
al Instructions which arise in its way.
That golden and blessed star which
one day will light up the whole moral
armament, has begun to shine, to
guide the evening wanderer into the
road of virtue, order and humanity.
We have been ''Iooking forward with
hope and expectation" to the time
when Bacchus would be slain-when
the hydra-headed monster of King In
temperance would be subdued, and
when our country would rejoice in the
arms of happy deliverance from the
grasp Of this demon foe, nolonger des-
ecrated and bIackened by the motley
array Of sin, disease and immortality.
We may, indeed, begin to rejoice--to
sing the glad song OF approaching vic
tory, for the Curious cause is pro-
crossing all over the civilized world.
Soon the fountain of misery and wo
will be dried up, and all will raise the
long, loud transporting shout, "We
have been victorious; Veni, pidi.
vicii"
Drunkards in this region Of the
Temperance vineyard" are forsaking
their enchanted goblets, and are see2-
ing the noble mansion Of truth and So
briefly. Yes, for within the few past
weeks, divers additions to the Diyis-
ion have taken place. Persons who
were thought to be in the downward
road to ruin and disgrace, yes, they
came forward, renounced their base
and selfish appetites, and now
"Csn read their titles clear,
To mansions in the skiesl"
The Maine Liquor law is the only
theme or topic which now engages the
friends of Temperance. Divers meet
ings are being held, and the Maine
Law strenuously advocated. We shall
use our best endeavors to roll in the
petitions :" to the Legislature this win
ter. We must have the law--We shall
have it. Our country demands it.
That is the only remedy by which we
can eradicate the heIlish practice Of
''selling death and liquid damnation."
We must pluck the tree ot is root, If
we wish permanent determination.

Apology.

The editor, GEN. CARY, being alb
sent attending the committee of the
National Division for the revision of
the New Ritual, which meet in NeT
York city, will we hope be received
by our readers as a sufficient apology
for the want of our usual quantity and
quality of editorial matter.

Ohio Legislature.

We had some faint hope that this
body at its present session would give
favorable response to the petitions
of 200, 900 Of their constituents on
the great subject of legal prohibition
of the liquor traffic, But every vote
was needed to ensure success to any
such measure. By the disaster on
the Muskingum river last week, ire
fered to last week, one of the ablest
of our senators was killed, and Mr..
Bartlett, Of Washington county, and
Mr. Oakley, of Monroe, members Of
the House, were seriously if not fatally
injured, all Of whom were warm ad-
vocates Of the Maine Law, it is rem
dered almost morally certain that no
thing will be done.
What a commentary does this ca
family furnish to the oft-repeated as
sertion "If you let liquor alone it
won't hurt you" These men let it
alone, yet by the indulgence Of 9TH
ers in intoxicating drinks, they were
ruined.

Perjury.


Is it not perjury to certify that a
man who asks for license to deal out
LIQUID Ere to his neighbor, is Of good
orsl character?" Did you ever con.
sr this, readerl Ifnot, pause and
aect before ever putting your hand
pen to sign petition for one Of
6ese whisky-selling taverns. Can
bat man be regarded as moral, whose
hole business is 10 Grace Gods holy
image from his neighbor and change
L into that Of a 4iend? Can he be a
blend Of morality, when the known
ndency Of his business is to prepare
heh for the preparation Of the dark
crimes that fill the records Of our
criminal calendar and ft them to
Violate al order and decency2 Can
love his neighbor as good morals
aife him to, when his hearts de-
fhat he may sptice him and his
perdelon, and exvort from tnein'thea
hard earnings to pay for that which
destroys both body and soul, and all
with the lying assurance that it will
do them good? 1t is principle in
ethics, that the man who places the
allurements Of vice before others
who ministers to their vicious gratifi-
cation is equally cul pable with them,
in the mischief they may do. This
being true, alas! for the good morals Of
the rum-sellerl
But why is it that the tavern
keeper must always prove his charac-
ter before he can obtain license? II
is not SO in any other branch OF trathc
for which license is required. The
reason is simply this: such persons
as soon as they apply for the privilege
of selling liquor, are at once suspected
as being rogues, and must needs have
their neighbors peJare themselves tc
make it appear otherwise. If man
is not required to prove his character,

Of the proposed methods, we cannot
here detain to decide, but dispensing
with both for the present, we will in
sert some resolutions adopted by the
Charlottesville Division, embodyingthe
plan designed to be carried out in this
township.
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
To the Hons. William e. Finck, Sena.
tor; and VIM. F. Morgan, and VII.
liam G. Filler, Representatives of
Muskingum county, in the Ohio
Legislature.
We, the undersigned, your consti-
tuen.s, citizens ofSalt Greek township,
would respectfully represent:
That, in consequence Of the Legis-
lature of Ohio having failed at its last
session to enact law similar in its
essential provisions to the celebrated
Maine Liquor Law, although the num-
ber rofpetitioners forsuch an enactment
was unprecedented in the history ofour
State, we would strongly urge upon
your attention the following resolu-
tions:
|. ReSolUed, That we will not cease
.un axertions until our Legislature
shall enact the desired law.
2. ResolUed, That it is our priyi-
lege, as your constituents. to instruct
you to use all laudable efforts for the
accomplishment Of said object. We
have saplicated, petitioned, prayed our
Legislature long enough, we now IN.
strus our legislators
3. ReSolved, That we will through
the columns of the Organ, and other
papers friendly to the cause of Tenn
perance, urge every township in the
State to follow a similar course.
We think that were this plan gem
orally adopted throughout the State,
that the members of the Legislature
would feel themselves more highly
obligated to regard the expressed will
of their respective constituents, than
by any other plan.
Although The methodis novel, yet
is it not deserving the consideration of
all who profess to be advocates Of this
measure ! What think you of it !?
Yours, respectfully,
II, Ii. HERDMAN.
P. S. As the coming session is
merely an adjourned one, may we not
regard the petitions of last winter as
still before the Legislature They
may be considered as unfinished bus
iaess. If so, our petitions to the
Legislature may be unnecessary, and
the mode here proposed may be USE
full in calling our Legislators to use
their efforts for the reconsideration of
the old petitions. T. H. H.
