The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-12-16
Progress Of Public Sentiment.

The Editor has on his table a file OF
temperance papers published more than
twenty years ago. Among other articles
he finds an appeal "piOus dealers in
ardent spirits" Many Of our more youth
full readers will be inclined 10 ask whether
there ever was such class of men as
PiouS liquor sellers, SO absurd wonld be
such remark at this day, We have no
doubt that good men and christians once
made and sold ardent spirits, Why not
if their use was considered necessary to
maintain sound health, and their pGesen-
tatiol was a test Of hospitality Dr..
Beecher, and the other fathers of reform,
met with bitter opposition when they
proposed in religious judicatory to dis
pense with the bottle on solemn ordination
occasions. Yes, we have no doubt that
earnest, honest, sincere christians engag-
ed in the liquor traffic, and SO they did in
the African slave trade, and the times
of this ignorance God winked at, but now
he commands all men ever to repent AMI
DO works meet tor repentahce.i'af
1t would be an objectionable insult to
the understanding of the most ignorant
in our country, now, to assert that any
friend Of the reformation and salvation Of
a sinful and dying world could engage
either in the manufacture Or traffic Of an
article which more than any other, robs
society Of useful members, Christ Of the
reward Of his suferings, God of his glory,
and Heaven Of its inhabitants. The
liquor sellel in our day, is without ex!
cuse, for he knowingly makes meFchan-

AS we Predicted.

A few months ago the rum journals OF
the country were rejoicing over the fact
that the people Of Vermont had become
disgusted with their Maine Law and
elected Legislature 10 fepeal it. We
prophesied that the members elect, what
ever might be their private views, dare
notrepealthelaw. Thatthey well knew
that such an act would be signing their
own political death warrant. We gave
this opinion on the stump during our late
canvass and in the Organ, The Legisla-
ture met, transacted its business and ad-
jouned sine die, leaving the law un-
harmed. We were right this time. 10.

Anti. Maine Law Men.

The following excellent article, from
Bro. J. H. Creighton, of Ironton, and
which we copy from the "Register," :"
defines our position in Ohio most clearly ::
4 |, Remember your late victory was not
test vote by any means. The case was
very different from that Of Michigan,
where the words Whig and Democrat
were not named, There the vote was
yea or nayeu fgar g..5 nj }ias45a
2. Remember there was not even a CO.
aIition with the weakest party (Whig),
for mostof its leading papers either op-
posed ii, or were silent on the subject
sothst so far as any influence from ex-
isting parties is concerned, any one at all
acquainted with the matter will see that
we had 10 contend directly with the ma
jority party, whose motto was "let well
enough alone" and that the minority
party Gas a paty) were not with us. +.
3. Remember there are more simple,
selfevident truths in favor Of the Law
than any new measure before the people.
Magma est vsritas ei prGvGlebit na g
\ a. Remember that the liquor men in
Maine had three victories; and every
successive election they grew weaker
until truth and justice prevailed. a''
5. Remember that the Maine Law has
never taken retrograde step, and though
not always successful the first time, such
is the clearness of its claims that its OPP
ponents often advance its doctrines. The
gIorying Of the lower class Of anti-Maine
Law men in Cincinnati, as they went
with flags and dOggeral songs from gro
cerie to grocery, makes US think of what
Bonaparte said after the battle Of Boro-
dino: "AnOther victory or two like this
will ruin us.n e| :" a7a.at'' o'''

s. Remember that the law gains favor
with the people faster ip those States
where the people see it's operation, than
anywhere else, and that each successive
election gives it larger msjorities; SO
that we may underwrite It, as did some
of the old pharmaceutists their favorite
recipes-4'TRIED.n 79n9Io8uo7 sa2'3 n.
