EATON, September 9, 1858.
CALEB CLARK, EsQ.:-Dear SIR
The friends of freedom and temper
ance held a Mass Convention in Ea-
ton, yesterday. Addresses were de-
livered by Mr.. Hull, Hon. G. w.
Julian and Rev. James B. Finley.
Resolutions were adopted, one Of
which is as follows:
"ResoIved, That as the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors
as a beverage, is the cause of intem-
perance, the great curse Of our coun-
try and our race, and as the use of
such liquors units man for the enjoy
ment Of his rights, and as the design
of law is to secure to man his rights,
it is right and the duty of every lover
Of man to vote for a law that will an.
initiate intemperance."
This resolution was passed unani-
mously.
Candidates were nominated for the
several offices: Judge Chambers of
Eaton, for Senator; John Harrison
for Legislature; J. M. Mitchell for
Board of Equalization and William
Troth for Commissioner. le
But you may be ready to ask, are
thew riUht on the Maine Law? I an
swer, they are ALL RIGHT on the
Maine Law. $685.
Judge Chambers is a member of
every temperance organization known
among us, and is at this time Grand
Deputy W. C. T., for the Temple in
this District. He goes his full length
for the Maine Law, and so does Har.
rison, Troth and the others.
In view of our nominations and the
prospect of success, we call on every
friend of freedom and temperance in
the District to rally for our support,
and if they do so, we CAN and WILL
elect our candidates.
Success to Old Preble.

Lieut.. Governor.

We are proud to lay before our
readers the following distinct and en-
phatic statement Of the Wing candi-
date for Lieu, Governor of Ohio, of
his views on law Of liquor prohibi.
ton. We know that this avowal is
not made to secure votes, for we knew
him years ago as an eloquent and
powerful advocate Of our cause. Oh I!
that the Democratic candidate would
give manly statement for or against
the measure The people have
right to know his views. Let the
temperance Democrats remember that
every whisky Wing will discard Allen
because he is temperance man, and
vote for the Democrat. Will you
be equally consistent. Hear Allen.
"You ask me if | am in favor of
enacting law restricting the traffic in
spirituous liquors, embracing the prin-
cipIes Of the Maine Law p '.ooT
"To this reply by an unequiyocal
affirmative. For, if to shield our
youth from temptation, and to deliver
them from evil--if to protect our peo-
Pile from the desolating encroachments
of intemperance-it to Withstand its
certain tendency to the corruption Of
private morals, do not fall within the
province of legitimate legislation, then
/ confess that l have strangely mis-
conceived the solemn duties Of a
Christian statesman, and the high pre-
negatives Of a Christian government.
"These sentiments | have long en-
tertaincd, and have often publicly ad-
Vocated.

you, permit me to subscribe myself,
respectfully, your friend

particulars Of the late disgraceful riot

made to put "old Williams" off the

ton, although he was twice hit with
boulders.
On Monday evening next, another
meeting will be held at the same
place, and we earnestly call upon all
good citizens to be present, prepared
to enforce order, for an attempt will
be. made to break up the meeting. If

a. a. Stewart. STATE Agent.


Just as our paper was going to
press, Bro. Stewart dropped in upon
US, with a smile upon his countenance
that indicated anything but defeat.
He was full of the spirit of the cause,
and reports that all is going on well.
Everywhere he says our friends are
confident Of success in the State. He
remarked that he did not see long
face among all The temperance men
he had come across in bis travels
Bro. S. has done noble work for the
cause. No man in the State could
have filed the Agency as well as he
has. Wherever he has gone, the
friends Of the cause have responded
literally to the call for the "sinews Of
war" He has several other counties
to visit yet, and we commend him to
our friends. Give him a warm re-
ccption, that he may journey on with
4 good Will. -

meeting will be doubtless beneficial,
and the great cause oftemPerance and
prohibition be promoted.
No honest-minded man or woman
acquainted with all the facts, can look
upon the course pursued by Phillips,
Brown, and others of the disorganising
faction, butwith supreme disgust, and
who will not look with a forgiving, if
not Complacent spirit upon the ap-
parent harshness and uncharitable.
ness Of those who persisted in refusing
Miss Brown an audience.

Correction.

In our last paper, we reflected upon
the State Committee for the non-ar-
rival of speakers in Brown county,
according to a previous announce
ment. Since then, we have been in
formed that the disappointment was
occasioned by the indisposition of Bro.
T. A. Plants. So soon as he ascer-
tanned that his appointments could
not be filed by himself, he telegraph
ed to Rev. Freeman Yates to take his
place, but for some cause or other, he
did not comply with the request
Hence the disappointment alluded to-
The Committee are therefore exon
Grated from any blame. 1t is hoped
that all speakers who have appoint
ments ahead, will see that they are
all filled.

cutive Committee will meet on Mon
day, the 26th inst, at Foster Hall, at
10 o'clock, A. NJ, for the purpose Of
making permanent arrangements for
carrying on the campaign, locating

requested to meet the Committee.
We hope each member Of the Com
mittee will attend. 1t is expected
that the assessment will be fully made
up at this meeting.

To Our Campaign Readers.


The time for which you have sub
scribed to the "Organ" will expire in
few weeks, and as the "Organ" has
been, and will continue to be the lead
ing temperance paper Of Ohio and the
West, we respectfully entreat all good
friends Of the cause to be with us as
regulars for the war, and until, by the
general.and entire absence Of the traf-
fic from the land, there is no longer
need for such publication. 10
We shall labor assiduo1sly to make
the "0rgan'' attractive and readable
in all its departments, to the farmer,
the mechanic, the merchant, and the
strictest friend of temperance. We
have many important improvements
in progress for the paper, which, when
fully completed, will make the cor
gan" a welcome visiter to the family
circle, as well as the Division room.
Such, therefore, Of our campaign read
ers as wish to patronise good paper,
will lay US under many Obligations by
sendingin their names without delay.
Our old Agents, who have been with
us from the beginning, and who have
SO literally contributed of their energy
and influence to make the ''Organ"
what it. is, will find this an excellent
time to solicit names by the year. We
issue about ten thousand of the Cam
paign, and out Of this large number,
we shall expect to continue at least
three thousand. There is as much
need for the circulation Of the paper
after as before the election. If we
succeed in our efforts to secure a Leg
islature favorable to the passage Of a
Prohibitory law, (and we pray God
that they will be crowned with sue

work the-temperance man win then
be to see that the law is enforced

more effective and powerful appeal
in behalf Of a Prohibitory Law than
it is. We shall take great pleasure
in laying this important document be-
fore our thousands Of patrons in our

Editor at Home.

Wnlch, MS tlme mas been wholly oc-
cupied in travelling and in publicly
discussing the principles and necessity
of prOhibitory liquor law. His 10.
cality, from week to week, has been
so uncertain, that he has seen but one
copy Of the "Organ" since his chair
was vacated. But he finds that the
paper has not suffered in the hands of
those who had charge of his depart
ment, and that the number Of readers
has more than doubled. t
During his absence he addressed
three meetings in Vermont, one in
New Hampshire, three in New Jer-
sey, six in New York, and eleven in
Pennsylvania. The average number
at these twenty-four meetings was not
less than three thousand, making an
aggregate Of seventy-two thousand
hearers. Everywhere the people SEEM
ed to be of one heart and one mind
in reference to the great subject of
prohibition. At county mass meet
ing in old Bucks, Pa, over sixteen
hundred wagons were counted upon
the ground, and the audience various
ly estimated from ten to fifteen thou
sand. In Lancaster and Chester
counties, Pa, and in Philadelphia,
the meetings were very large.
The Editor has felt an earnest de-
sire to be at home and urging his
fellow-citizens to rally for the con-
fict. He was comforted, however,
by the reflection that it matters little
which of the States wheel into line
against liquor first, or which is the
FIRST to follow, and that blow struck
in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, would
tell as we'll in Ohio; and to resist the
opportunities of temperance men, re-
quires "sterner stuff" than we are
made of in this time Of general COM
motion.
The personal attacks made upon
the Editor by corrupt party press,
show into what close quarters the enc
mics of prohibition are driven. The
only complaint he has to make or
this subject, is that the writers for the
"Organ" have taken too much pains
to resist these vindictive blows aimed
at himself. The hornets nest stirred
up at Milford by half-dozen lines o.
editorial in the Organ" Of the 18th
of July, is attended to in another col
umn. Several of the papers have
handled us pretty roughly for wha
we have said and written, and wher
we have leisure, and no more i'm
portant cases to care for, we will at
tend to such as we deem worthy o
our notice.
/ The circumstances Of the cause
seem to demand that the Editor's
time should be mostly occupied fo1
several weeks upon the public plat
form. He yields his more pleasan
employment in conversing with tht
readers of the "Organ," to the de
mands Of the temperance public, ant
while he does not surrender his claim
its duties must be performed mainly
