Observation-Disclosures.

receipts would be acknowledged unul
enough had been received to make a
respectable show. We did not like
Che idea Of dealing in such small
atfairs--bui we hope, as the election
IS over, that we will have the pleasure
&c appearing before our readers each
week, under this head.
The temperance people of Ohio
have a great work before them--a
great and glorious victory is to be
achieved law similar to that Of the
Maine liquor law, is to be the law Of
0hio-whisky, and all its manifold
evils, are to be banished from our
midst. To do which, it viii require
ALL the united energies of our friends;
4 fixed determination never to yield
until the enemy are put to fight
Every thing calculated to advance our
cause, should be pressed into the ser
vice, and supported with becoming
promplness, zeal and liberality; and
iith y -ip- s'l,--t the
In6srarpmyy are Tne vicB0fs= lat least
this is our experience.
We hope our friends will look at
this just as we do, (and we are not
selfish in our opinion, and show a
little more liberality, pecuinarily, than
they have heretofore. There is no
use in attempting to secure the Maine
Law, unless we are prepared to "SheH
out Che dimes FREELY" Circulate the
Organ, and all papers that advocate
our principles-food the State with
tracts, and all other publications that
enlighten the minds of the people; in
short, you must Soork--show dis
position TO do something, and then we
can prepare for the victory that will
tmoSt assuredly follow. Too many of
our friends think they have done their
duty nobly, when they m eet together
and pass a series of resolutions, COM
mending temperance in the highest
degree, and "blosojng up" whisky and
its unfortunate friends after which,
their zeal is entirely exhausted, and
they have nothing more to say-do
nothing more, until the next meeting,
when their zeal becomes again fired,
and similar resolutions are "unani-
mously adopted" &c. These reso-
lutions are we'll enough, but what good
do they accomplish, unless an effort is
made to carry out the spirit that per-
vades them? Very many of these
meetings adopt resolutions commend
ing the Organ to the patronage of
temperance men, as an able adyO-
cate of the cause" when, perhaps,
not more than two or three present
patronize the paper, or ever intend to.
We do not admire this kind of consis-
tency; it does more harm than good.
But we are straying from our heading.
