The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-01-16
To the Subscribers of the Western
Fountain.


In September last, the patronage Of the
Fountain" being 50 limited and meager, |
with a very fair prospect of its continuance,
Notwithstanding the efforts of the Editor,
Gen. CARY, to make it acceptable to the
general reader, the undersigned was COM
PEELED, in Justice to his friends, his credi-
tors and himself, to suspend its publica
ton. He done 50 with great reluctance
but the loss was too great for his limited
means.
At the October Session of the Grand Di
vision, made fair statement Of the situa.
ton of the paper, and what was willing
to do in the premises. The Grand Division
resolved to assume the responsibility of its
publication, and appointed Gen, S. F. Cary,
: Caleb Clark and J. S. Whitwel, publish
ing Committee The result of their labors
is the presentation of the "Organ of TEN
perance Reform" to the temperance people
of Ohio for their patronage and support.
Just and equitable arrangements have
been made with the Committee to supply
the subscribers of the Western Fountain
with the Organ, free of cost, until the eN-
piration of their subscription. No one
should complain of the change of papers
The Organ is good paper, is in good, sub,
stantial hands, and will do just what it
says-no more nor no less, The Commit
tee have the facility for making a better
paper than the " Fountain" and it will be
their aim to propagate the principles OF
Temperance each week in the year, cost
what it may.
Such subscribers as know themselves
indebted to the Fountain for subscrip-
tion, will please forward the amount TO c.
CLARK, Ben Franklin Printing House. Bills
will be forwarded in few days to all such,
and they are expected to be prompt in re
hitting the amount.
1t is to be hoped that the friends Of tenn
perance in the great Stale Of Ohio, will not
let this disinterested effort Of the Commit
tee to forward the cause by the publication
of the Organ, flag for the want Of that sup
port and cooperation which its merits
demand. Let every friend of the cause
who wishes to be esteemed temperance
man for the sake Of temperance. subscribe anC
paw for the Organ. And when this il
done, he should not fold his arms anc
think he has done enough. He should ust
every honorable means to induce his friend
and neighbors to do likewise. A gooC
temperance paper is a silent lecturer. 1
may be slow, but it is certain. Its truth
and admonitions sink deep into the hear
and cannot be efaced, and a warm frien,
of the cause is the inevitable result.
The printer of the paper, Bro. CLARK, i
an old standby in the temperance ranks
and several years ago published the Ohio
Organ, by which he sustained a heavy loss
By industry and economy he has PLACED
himself at the head of the largest Steam
Printing Establishment west of the noun
tains He again embarks in the enterprise
giving an engine, boiler, and full head 0
steam, TO start. The friends of temperate,
are expected to keep up good supply o
steam.
Hoping that the cause Of temperance may
prosper on until its principles shall be i'm
mutually fixed in the affections of the peo
pie, and that the "Organ of Temperance
Reform" may meet with abundant success
and live thousand years.
WILLIAM MITCHELL.
