protect tbemselvesf Ofod it said that 'tbc Law
made for the uDgodly and for sinners, for mur-
derers Of fathers and murderers of mothers. and for
men slsyers. But with us the case seems TO be re-
versed; these are they who claim and receive its
protection in their Legitimate business" whilst
die in rOttenness.
Determined to effect permanent and radical
charge in the legislature of our State on this sub
jet, the Executive Committee of the New York
State Temperance Alliance invite the earnest and
prompt co operation Of all their fellow citiSens who
perceive its necessity and desire it's attainment.
This great end caS only be secured By the most tho
rough Organisation, and the iAtssiom Of ONE sp'n
have to contend is as artful as unscrupulous. False
Issues Of all kinds will be raised to divert atten-
tioD and to deceive us rs to our true line OF policy
Especially will the party attachments and prcailec-
tions-frOm which but few of US arc cxempt-be
used to draw us away from the issue we now in
tend to make. The teachings of an enemy are not
to be despised. Let us then use orr positions as
r.igs and democrats for our o,cn purposes No one
question before US for decision at the coming cleo
ton can bear a moments comparison with this.
What at this period we chiefly need, is, that every
county and every town in the State, have each It's
alliance !; tho former. that all the towns within its
bounds BIO brought into harmonious action with re.
ference to the selection of candidates for legislative
and other Offices; the latter, that every voter may
have brought to his notice and attention, our OBJ
iects, our arguments, and our plans We have an
entire and abiding confidence in the integrity and
honesty of purpose Of the great mass of voters
Lot give them the facts essential to the formation
Of an enlightened Judgment. That done, our work
is accomplished.
In addition to tho Comfy Alliances, whichare
constituted OF delegates from the towns, and these
latter which are to include none but legal voters,
it is greatly desirable that auxiliary to these there
should be in every town female alliances. Tho
constitution of the State does not confer on women
the right Of voting; yet most eifectually do they
vote through their husbands, fathers, sons, bro
thers, friends. Their influence is with US now. In
the nature OF the case il cannot be, as We would
not have it otherwise. We ask tbem to concentrate
ii, md use it
Again, we urge the formation Of Young Mems
Alliances. IL cd men are needed for counsel still
more are the young wanted for action. Let
their enthusiasm in glorious cause be onco
awakened, and the victory ia more than half won.
Especially do We beseech all our friends, let there
be no delay in your organizations. Remember the
days are few, and they are rapidly diminishing in
mum Der, between this hour md that when tho bal
lot shall decide tho issue for another year Some
a1 hn ioft that
good ever was accomplished without II!
Do not be deceived by the idea that it does not
belong to you personally to take the initiative il
the movement in your county or town. II belongs
in this the glory OF your birthrigh t-indvidualit
OF charactor-and the work is done. The viii Of
one determined man may thrill the heartstrings OF
nation. Enlargement and deireranco shall yet
surely arise to our peoples bat il another shall be
the delveIer to him shall belong the glory.
1t is said OF US that We are mon Of ono idea. Be
il 50. Such are the men that always have, aud
ever viii sway the desinies oil the world " If thine
eye be single, thy whole body shall he il ght.
In tlis work let our eye be single to the glory OF
God, and He win crown e5ertions with his bles-
sing. Then shall our noble state be redeemed; and
upitrg with the glorious band who have preceded
ug shall press On to the recovery Of orr whole peo-
ple-nay, Of the world i'sclt-ifom the curse Of III
