PROCEEDINGS OF A TEMPERANCE MEETrNG HELD
IN THIS CITY ON "WEDNESDAY, THURS
DAY, FRIDAY AND MONDAY.

DAY, FRIDAY AND MONDAY,
The temperance meeting convened in the M
E. Church (solah,) on Wednesday seening
Feb. 10Th, and was organized by choosing Isaac
L. Holt, ESQ., Chairman; and A. s. Mccoy,
Secretary After which, the audience listened
TO the address Of the evening, the subject being
The Physiological Effects of Drunkenness.
lst, Upon the blood, the great agent of phys
ical life, from which all the other substances Of
the system are supplied. Alcohol is not con-
vertible into Hood, and, therefore, not adapted
10 the uses of the system. Alcohol vitiates and
poisons the blood.
I'd, Upon the stomach, the great agent for the
manufacture of blood. He exhibited set Of
drawings by DR.. Sewell, Of Washington City, to
show the appearance Of the human stomach.
LIST, In healthy state, it appears of beauti-
full, pale, pink color, in which no system OF
blood vessels can be discovered.
I'd, In the stomach Of the drunkard, beauti.
full network of veins is developed, which gives
to it an inhamed and fiery appearance.
Sd, After debauoh, these blood vessels ap.
pear greatly distended and inHamed.
4th, In case Of one dying with delirium ire.
mems, the glands of the stomach secreting the
gastric juice, become enlarged and excited. vi.
cerates and becomes soft like jelly. The three
coats Of the stomach are often destroyed. II
this condition it refuses 10 receive anything
1t is one running sore. In order that the sto
mach may gain its healthy action, this acrid poi
son must be entirely removed. Whenever al
cohol comes in contact with the delicate tissues
of the system, it produces the same results.
This was shown by the cancer in the eye.-
The soapy tumor on the neck, caused by Alec
hol. Alcohol combines the opposite qualities o
a narcotic, and irrtant poison. 1t is both stu
plying and acrid. Some die from the first %
these effects, in which case the whole nervous
t system is paralysed and destroyed by its mar
coic influence, and the victim dies in drunken
sleep. In the other case the nervous system
becomes so excited that its narcotic in1uenc,
does not take place, and he dies amid the hor
rors of delirum tremens. The lecturer CAV
the awful details Of several cases of deliriun
tremens, which will long be remembered b,
those who listened to them. Altogether it wa
a most startling and impressive exhibition of tn
physical woes of the drunkard. After the lee
ture was concluded,

Which report was adopted, and,
On motion, the committee empowered to fill
vacancies in their own body.
The audience then listened TO the lecture of
the evening Subject-The Social Evils of the
Liquor Traffic.
The social relation between the liquor seller
and his customers, differs from the same relation
in every branch of business. The more init
mate their business relation is, the more distant
is their social relation. A manufacturer and
dealer in alcohol viewed as a philanthropist, a
patriot, Christian, member of the neighbor-
hood and the family circle. In eIch one of these
relations he was made to appear in anything
rather than an enviable light.
The following preamble and resolutions were
offered by Rev. ID. J. Snow:
WHEREAS, We believe that the manufacture and
traffic in intoxicating drinks is one of the
chief causes, If not the principal cause, of all
the crimes, vices, riots, and disturbances of the
happiness and peace Of families, which curse
society in its various forms, and
WHEREAS, The responsibility Of any business
ruInous TO the good Of society, is shared he
tween those who engage in, and those who
tolerate that business: therefore,
Resolved, That we regard all distlleries, rec.
hfying establishments, Gram shops, and all other
houses appropriated in whole or in part TO car.
rying on the manufacture and traffic in inloxi.
eating liquors as beverage, TO be public nusan-
ces, which ought to be abated by law.
R'Sotned, That those who are engaged in the
manufacture and sale Of whisky, or any other
Intoxicating drink, are pests to society,", and
should be so regarded by oil good citizens.
RssOfDsd, That it is our duty, as philanthro.
pisis, as patriots, as Christians, and as members
OF the domestic circle, to do all in our power by
the use Of lawful and honorable means, to drive
the manufacture and traffic in ardent spirits and
All Intoxicating drinks out of the city Of Hanni.

- Monday Evening, Feb. 81.
An immense concourse Of the citizens of
Hannibal convened in the Baptist church, on
Monday evening, Feb. 2lst, to listen to the con-
GLIDING lecture of the Rev. ID. ]. Snow, OH the
subject of temperance. The meeting was or
ganized by the election of Col. McDannold,
Chairman, and Rev. A. S. Mccoy, Secretary.
The exercises were opened with prayer; after
which the audience listened to the address of
the evening. Subject-The Main Liquor Law.
The lecturer commenced by comparing the Hy-
dra destroyed BY Hercules, to the monster of
lntemperance. The Maine Liquor Law is that
Hercules, that has already begun TO deal his
deadly blows at the seat Of the monsters life.
Its leading features are,
LIST. There shall be no liquor manufactured or
sold IN the State of Maine, for drinking purpo-
ses. lie detailed some Of the ludiorous attempts
at evading this law. II allows liquor TO be sold
for mechanical and medicinal pur poses. A man
SETS up a cabinet shop, and sells coffins filled
with whisky! Another sets up book store.
and sells tin cases filled with liquor, made in the
form of books, and labeled 'Pilgrim's Progress,

To prevent these violations of the law, it pro-
vides,

for the faithful performance of his duties. He
receives his liquor from the public mandatory

any two men depose that they believe liquor 10
be sold at certain house, an officer at once is
sues his writ against the keeper Of it. He
showed the effects of the law in iheeily OF Port
land. Il had saved $l50,0O0 there in one year,
by enabling Il EN- to dispense with The erection
Of new prison, which had become indispensa-
BILE before the passage Of this law. But Il is OBJ
jected TO this law, that is unconstitutional. II
