The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-03-05
Acknowledgements

Il will be seen that our receipts are not 80
large this week as last, or any previous week
slnce the publication of the Organ. This is,
70 doubt, owing to the absence from home of
very many Of our brethren attending the recent
rtate Temperance Convention. We hope no
lnture issue will present such a small list of
acknowledgements to our future readers, as
bis is the true index to our prosperity, and by
N all-both enemies and fiends-judge of the
strength of the temperance force Of Ohio. 1t
q a too common saying among the opposers Of
our cause" There is certainly not very many
aetive temperance men in Ohio, or their avowed
Organ would be better supported" The effect
"a such remark as this is full of mischief to
The cause ia time Of need for there are thou
sands of voters in Ohio who take sides with
the supposed majority. We hope that the Or
gan list will, before long, open the eyes of our
enemies, to the power and strength Of our real
force.
To all who have this week relinquished their
claim to the Fountain list, we tender our CRATE
full Acknowledgements. Such disinterested kind
ness brings forcibly to our mind the good old
adage-" A friend in need is friend indeed.''
While in Columbus, last week, attending the
State Convention, we made the acquaintance
of many brothers from different localities in
Ohio, to whom we gave copy of the paper,
with Bill and prospectus. We hope all such
will make good use of them, and use their very
best endeayors to secure a large accession to
the Organ list. From two or three, we have
already received lists of ten and fifteen.

This is a hard pIace-the rummies getting
great deal of aid and comfort from the pro-
