For the Ohio Organ Of Temperance.

Mr.. CLAEk:-A correspondent Of
the Commercial" August 12, takes
Gen. Cary to task for an article pub
lished in that paper, in reply to some
inquiries made by the "Wine King
of the West" l do not offer myself
as vicarious substitute for Gen. Cary
in this case. I shall pass over the
particular" and personal matters
in "Catawba's" communication, and
notice the points in it which have gen
eral bearings. These, any one may
properly concern himself about. Those,
the Gen. would no doubt attend to, if
at home, in a becoming manner,
though possibly not to the satisfaction
of ga worshipper of Bacchus." 1t is
unpleasant and dangerous to contend
with such an antagonist as "Cataw-
ba." He evidently loves wine, and
perhaps something stronger, and has
not enough of principle about him to
hang him in colony of rogues. "a
worshipper of Bacchus" indicates Just
the loosest kind of character When
a boy, I once jumped into a muddy
stream to catch an eel. The opera
ton was just like that of undertaking
to handle an unSerious, unscrupulous,
sneering opponent. Both the eel and
he are very slippery and very sling.
AS "Catawba" writes from a text, l
should think him a preacher, if it
we're not for his irreverept references
to holy writ, Since he avows that he

0fthe amount received from each county,
onefourth will be appropriated for gener-
al fund to sustain the general operations of
the Committee. The remaining three -fourths
will be placed to the credit of the county on
the books of the Committee, and will be ex-
pended in the payment of temperance lee
turers, and the distribution of temperance
tracts, and other publications exclusively
within that county. After the election, an
account stated will be sent to each contri.
buting county, that it may be seen how
every dollar from that county has been ex.
pended. The Committee have engaged the
services of the ablest temperance orators in
the Union for the campaign. Neal Dow,
the illustrious author of the Maine Law
Cuyler, of New Jersey Yates, of Michi-
gan Jewett, of Massachusetts Cary and
Olds, of this State, and host of other dis
tinguished speakers, will enter the field in
few days. To secure the labors Of these
lecturers, it will be necessary that the
amount coming from each county should be
paid 10 the agent in advance; and those
counties which make the first payments will
accordingly receive their first visits. The
friends Of the cause in each county are
urged to. collect, if possible, the whole
amount specified for them In the above as
sessment. Donations from individuals to
the general fund are also solicited, and will
be expended in such manner as the donor
may direct.

TO he Friends Of the Maine Lav in Ohio !
The undersigned has been appointed by
the State Temperance Executive Committee
of Ohio, General Agent to collect fund to
defray the expenses of a thorough canvass
of all the counties, if practicable, before the
approaching election in October, to secure
the choice Of Maine Law Legislature by
the people. The Committee ask for at least
$4,000 for this purpose but, believing
that the contest will demand more Of the
"sinews Of war;" and that the willingness
of the people will be found to exceed the
hopes Of the Committee, the Agent will en-
deavor to raise twice that amount. An as
sessment of $20,000 on the counties of the
State, estimated on the basis of population,
Qess than one cent to each inhabitant,) will
fall in the following proportion

disregard the law, that paragraph
in newspaper, or a word from our
Police Judge, win shut their doors
and bar their windows every Sunday,
and compel the votaries Of the bowl
to sneak through dirty alleys into the
dark and mephitic room to indulge
their depraved and debasing appetite.
Only in the more abandoned and
wretched holes does the traffic 60 on
all the same on Sunday as on Satur-
day. The fear Of the law alone deters
many a man from selling liquor on
Sunday, who would otherwise make
his establishment as enticing as possi-
Bile, and look forward to that day with
high expectations of large profits.
The power Of the State, the dignity,
the moral force Of law, thus greatly
diminish the sale Of liquor on Sunday.
So would the self-executing power
Of the law come to the aid of every
law prohibiting the sale or manuiac-
ture of Intoxicating liquors. The mere
fact that the business was illegal,
would induce nine-tenths of those en-.
gagged in it at present to abandon it;
and those who continued to pursue it
would do so with closed doors and
darkened windows, selling only to
those whose habits are already con-
frmed, and holding out no tempting
allurements to the young and thought
less. A business so pursued, would
soon be looked upon with little more
/ respect than the hangman's, and none,
save those for whom there is no hope,
would be seen frequenting his con-
cealed dram-shop.
We have said this much, by way Of
reply to what seems to us fallacious
objection to prohibitory law, altho'
we do not profess to see eye to eye
with temperance men. We are the
friends Of temperance, and in its tri-
umph we can see nothing but good.
The welfare Of society demands that
stringent measures be taken to stop
the increase of intemperance, and that
these measures be taken at once.
What these measures shall be, the
people are to say, and their intelligent
action depends upon a free, fair, and
full discussion of the various measures
proposed. We gave, yesterday, the
plan Of the temperance men, and shall
give as they appear any other plans
that may be proposed. Let the sub
ject be thoroughly discussed ; for
somehow society must be relieved of
the enormous evils Of intemperance,
or go into confusion and ruin and if
the Maine Law is the true remedy for
these, the sooner we know it and the
sooner we adopt it, the better,
