suit, has awakened an interest upon the
subject Of prohibition that viii not be
eradicated now that the excitement has
passed. A deep and settled conviction
that the liquor traffic is an egregious pub
lie wrong and must cease, has taken
strong hold of great multitude Of minds
This conviction will form a reliable caPi-
tai upon which to begin an extensive and
successful onslaught in the future.
We desire now to make honorable

with earnestness and success in various
portions of our State; and we hereby

We shall not speak Of the peculiar char

these speakers, and which have rendered
their labors effective, designing only to
make a memoranda Of the extent Of
their labors.
Doctor Jewett, Of Massachusetts, la
bored filty.two days, and delivered about
sixty-six lectures in twenty different
counties, and in about fifty places. -Four
days he was engaged in all-day discuss
ions with Mr.. Beebe, hireling of an ex-
tensive distiller.
Rev. B. E. Hale, of Connecticut, has
been employed ffty-four days, in six
teen counties, and delivered about sixty
lectures in some thirty places.
Rev. Freeman Yates, Of Michigan, de-
livered about seventy lectures in sixty
days, having canvassed twelve counties
F. w. Kellogg, of Massachusetts, has
labored in twelve or fourteen counties,
and delivered about forty lectures.
S. S. Beeman, Of New York, has been
actively, zealously and efficiently en-
gagged three or four weeks, speaking day
and night. His labors have been mostly
confined to Hamilton county.
G.Y. Fobes, Of Massachusetts, has de-
livered seventy-three lectures in ten dit
terent counties, and probably fifty differ
ent places.
We do not new remember any other
foreign co-workers who have been per-
manently employed. Our own speakers
have been constantly at work.
A. M. Scott, Esq, of Dayton, has lee
tured to very great acceptance in many
counties in the western portion of the
State; has delivered probably thirty ad-
dresses.
ia. Plants, Esq, Of Meigs county,
done great work in Madison, Fayette,
Warren, Pike and Scioto counties. His
efforts gave universal satisfaction, and
the Stale Committee greatly regretted
their inability to keep him continually in
the field. He was arrested in his mis-
sion by serious indisposition. We are
happy to learn, however, that he is now
convalescent.
The Rev. ]. H. Creighton lectured
eight consecutive weeks in about as
many counties. His field was in Law
renee, Gallia, Scioto, Fairfield, Licking,
&c. His clerical duties obliged him to
leave the employ of the Committee be-
fore the campaign closed. Mr.. Parker
Earle has probably delivered more lee
lures than any other man in the field.
He has labored in Clarke, Franklin, Sem
eca, Homles, Starke, Columbia and JEFF
ferson counties. We have not particu-
lar report of his movements.
