Great Temperance Convention,
22d February.

The friends of Temperance, Of Hamll-
ton County, will remember the Grand Dem
onstration which is to be held at FOSTERS s
HALL, corner 5th and Walnut sts., Gin, on
the % of February, the ever-memorable
birth day of the Father of our Country.
Friends, let us have glorious meeting
together, upon this occasion-one worthy
the hallowed day and our glorious cause
Let each township call meetings and nomi-
nate her delegates forthwith, if it is not al
ready done. We want every township to
send in delegation that will show conclu-
sively that she is with US in our efforts to
disintLrall our beloved State from the blast
ing influence of the liquor traffic. Come up
to our aid, then, en- naasSe, and we will have
a rallying that will tell upon the destiny Of
our glorious cause
An evening meeting will be held at IVES
LEY CHAPEL, 5th street, between Sycamore
and Broadway, when WILLIAM 7. CoeGE'
SHALL will deliver lecture on "The Aspect
of Temperance Reform in relation to the
Past and the Future"
GEN. S. F. CARY and other gentlemen will
also speak. A grand rally is anticipated

New Ritual,

The proof sheets Of the New Ritual
of the Sons of Temperance are in the
hands Of the committee. 1t has been
tried in several places, and it is spoken
of in the highest terms by those who
have seen it. The Chairman of the
Committee is receiving letters of in
quiry daily in regard to its present
state, and the time Of its probable pro-
mitigation. The brethren must be
patient. The Committee are fully
aware of the anxiety to get the new
work, and they will suffer no unneces-
sary delay in the performance Of their
duties. They are anxious to perfect
every part, and time and labor are in
dispensable to dothis. Wesay again
to the brethren, be patient.

A Sign Of the Times.

No temperance paper in Ohio has
ever had anything like the present
circulation Of our Organ, They are
coming up manfully from almost every
part Of the State, and giving us their
names and money, and saying to us,
give us light as to our duty in this
crisis Of the reform.
Just in proportion as the number of
anxious inquirers multiply, will truth
triumph. We are not yet satisfied.
We want more readers.

EOur paper, through the instru-
mentality Of its friends, is beginning
to exert a most salutary influence in
our city. We have club of forty
from the laborers in Mr.. Powells
Foundry, and seventeen from Green
wood & Co.'s. This speaks volumes
for the proprietors and the character
of those under their employ. A. F.
Garoute also has a club of fifteen left
at his Feed Store, on Sycamore street
We hear of others who are making uE
clubs, and we hope their example viii
be followed BY others still, until oul
paper finds its way into every portion
Of city.

Outrage On Libertyll

UubIdSC Uu+ 4ADVAVI -
We see it announced in an ex'
change paper, that ga whole car load
of putrid meat, on its way to market,
has been seized in New York." What
an abominable and unconstitutional
outrage upon the rights Of the citizen
Has not man in this free country1a
right to sell what he pleases, provided
he can find purchasers? We hope this
abused and prosecuted citizen who was
thus summarily deprived Of his prop
erty, will contrive by some means to
get his case before his Honor Judge
Curtis, of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, who will see his wrongs
redressed. He was, probably, ga cit
izen Of another State" New Jersey,
perhaps, and his meat was possibly
only in transitu." If these are
the facts, and if, in addition, it should
appear that he had not "ths right
of trial By jary," before his sinking
cargo was condemned, right sacredly
\ guaranteed by the Constitution, then
his case is complete one, and paral-
lei to the one recently decided in R.
Island. Oh! civil liberty, whittier
hast thou fed We wonder if such
"tyrannical acts" will not create a
civil war! Will our butchers tamely
and quietly submit to such flagrant
invasions of their sacred and inalien-
able rights? If the seizure had been
a carload Of bad liquor, itwould have
been resisted, and the constitutional
question would have been discussed
by able counsel, and decided by impair
haz judges. Will not that large and
respectable class of fellow citizens who
are interested in the sale of meats,
raise purse and employ lawyers to
have this matter fairly presented and
fully decided!
II The pretence urged for this seizure
! of property was, that the "paJIic
\ health would be put in jeopardy. A
class of crazy fanatics assert that no
individual has a right to sell any arti.
Gle, which win endanger the health
and life, corrupt The public morals, OF
, peril the public peace, and we suppose
some of this obnoxious class of zealots
have been trampling upon the blood
bought privileges ?" fthis citizen. Oui
Fathers declared that all men have al
! inalienable right to g the pursuit d
; happiness J" and yet, in the face o
this sacred declaration, a law is enact
ed and enforced, to stop a man on hi
road to market! This case ought t
be brought before our National Judi
!, ciary.

THE OHIO ORGAN
OF THE TEMPERANCE REFORM,
Kaan it hefore enc People.

The following resolution, adopted at the
State Temperance Convention, which con-
vened in Columbus, o., on the 9th inst, should
not be lost sight of by the temperance men fn
our State;
I" Resolved, That general and systematic
support Of the TEMPER ANcE Pass OF Ohio, is
indispensable to our success"

at the present crisis. These are "stub-

Paine's "Age Of Reason, "Vol-
ney's Ruins" "Hine's Progressive
Pamphlets" and "A.J Dayis's ReYe-
lations, win hardly supplant the BIZ
bic, or shake any christians confidence
in the old and new Testament, We
will not descend to the silly work
of analysing the resolutions quoted
above.
Whatmiserable, contemplate twad-
die to assert, that "there is engraven
on the nature Of every human being
an infallible rule of life on the knowl-
edge Of which depends the progress,
perfection and happiness Of his ma
ture."
What progress, perfection OF hap
piness" has everb been found any where
in savage or civilized life, where the
holy precepts and pure teachings Of the
Bible have been unknown? Without
recognizing this as the only rule Of
faith and practice, what has been the
condition Of all nations ? "Being
| filed with all unrighteousness, forni-
cation, wickedness, covetousness, ma
Gciousness, full of envy, deceit, muir
der, debate, malignity; whisperers,
backbiters, haters of God, despiteful,
proud, boosters, inventors of evil
things, disobedient to parents, without
understanding, covenant breakers,
without natural affection, implorable,
unmerciful."
This is a Bible description, and it is
a true one.
Christ's sermon on the Mount, con
tains more pure and perfect instruction
than all the works of infdels, from tha
day to this. All the valuable rules
and lessons ofmorality, progress, per
! fection and happiness, they have eve
published or taught, they have st0lsI
from tile Bible. Some of our reader
may be disposed to ask why we say s.
much upon this subject in Temper
ancepoper. We answer, because tenn
perance is a christian grace, Bi6l
doctrine. The Bible is the corne
stone, the top stone, the whole strua
ture Of our noble reform. Take ava
the Bible, or destroy confidence In
as a Divine Revelation, as the onl
5 infallible rule of faith and practice
/ and our labors are vains our efort
' useless, and our very hopes ofsucces
forever blasted.
e Our ruined race can only be elevate
: and restored by the Gospel, and "
$ shall resist with all our power ever
q effort made to throw doubt upon i
! heavenly conception.
4 "Should all the forms that men devise
Assault my faith, with treacherOus al
n I'd call them vanity and lies,
d And bind the Gospel to my heart"

Anti.Bible Convention.


The English liberals" and "Ger-
mar Turner's" who celebrate the
birth day Of the proaigate Paine, are
not the only individuals who repudi- |
ate the Bible as a God given rule Of
faith and practice.
A mongrel group of land refOrmers,
spirit rappers, seers, 60, &C.; recent
" held a convention at Salem, Colum-
biana county, to express their decided
disapprobation Of the Gospel. During
the three days and evenings of their
session, they forever settled the ques-
ton in their own opinion, that the BIZ
BILE was great humbug, and passed
the following among other resolutions
ofthe same character:
Pesozued, That the Bible itself bears
no sure sign of a divine or supernat-
ural origin, but on the contrary carries
on its very face the marks of human
imperfection and error.
Resolued, That the Bible, therefore,
is not book Of divine authority-that
its testimony is not decisive as to the
truth or falsehood Of any principle, or
the goodness or badness Of any prac-
tice.
|. Resolued, That the prevailing notion
or belief that the Bible is book Of
divine authority, the belief that it is
/ perfect rule Of faith and practice,
that every thing thatit teaches is true,
and every thing which it enjoins and
sanctions is right and good, and that
we need no other guide to truth
and duty, is not only altogether erron-
eous but exceedingly mischievous.
/ Resolved, That man has an infalli.
/ bic rule of life, on the knowledge Of
which depends the progress, perfection
and happiness of his nature, in al
states Of his existence.
Il Resolued, That the rule is found no
H in the Bible, the Coran, the Shaster
nor in any other supposed arbitrary
Il revelation but is engraven on the ma
tuFe Of each human being by the hand
of the Creator.
Hobbs, Leibuits, Volney, Voltaire,
Tom Paine and others of a former
generation, assailed the christian sys'
