Acknowledgements.

the Organ In the highest terms, Wi VhS
good work it is now accomplishing through
out the length and breadth Of the state
This is only small part of the evidence
we have in our possession, going to prove
what we have so often repeated, that the
Organ is just the paper for the times, and
that its extensive circulation will accom-
plish more lasting good for the cause ana
in shorter time, than the combined Wis
dom and eloquence Of all the Oary's'
Coughs, Willisms's, &c., &c., in christen'
dom. There are thousands Ofthe best men
and women in the State, who will never
turn out to hear temperance lecture, and
the only way this class of people can De
reached and operated upon, is BY the ald
of the PRESS. If they were supplied with
the Organ, in nine cases out Of ten, a salu-
tary effect would be produced. From cold
indifference, they would become warm en-
thusiastic friends of the cause. And many
who are opposed to us, would be brought
over to our support. We urge upon our
friends who are continually crying aloud,
"What shall we do to free ourselves from
the evil effects of the liquor traffic 7" to
give us their suppOrt-to see that the Organ
has a good circulation in their vicinities,
and the effect it will produce will accom-
plish the work so much desired. Solicit
persons of your acquaintance to take the
paper, and stick to them until they DO il. If
any are too poor to pay for it, arrangements
should be made for gratuitOus circulation.
This is the way, and the OaIy OGy, to adopt
the Maine Law in Ohio The present Leg
islature will adjourn without doing any
thing for us. Our only hope is in the Legis-
lature to be elected in October next. A
space Of seven months intervenes, and if
this time is permitted TO pass without
making all the exertion in our power, an
inglorious defeat will be the result, and the
cause of temperance will beset back at least
a quarter of century. Now is THE TINE TO
WORK Delays are dangerous. We have a
mighty work to accomplish, and we must
bring to bear ALL the means within our
reach, to secure the triumph 50 devoutly
prayed for every friend of the cause in our
land.
In order to stimulate our friends in The
circulation of the Organ, we shall offer il
our next paper the most liberal and munii
cent incentives to action, in the way o
prizes, ever before offered by any temper
ance Journal in the Union. We ARE Fol
THE MAINE LAW, AND NOTHING ELSE and be
Geving that the Organ, if properly circula
ted, will give it to US, we are determines
to have a circulation in every town AMI
village in the State, if we have to do SO a
our own expense! Let cur friends be u

Bro. F. is hard to beat. He is determine,
that the good people of his vicinity shal
not grope their way in darkness when ligh
can be furnished so cheap. If they ar
submerged in the evils incident to the liquo
traffic, they will have no one to blame bu
themselves for Bro. F. has done his par
nobly. He has ordered our clerk to leav
an entire page of our subscription book 70
his benefit. We have every confidence ths
the page will be well filled in two or thre
weeks.

sion, (NO. 557, has been laboring unde
pecuniary embarrassment, and that, as
consequence, but little has been done fC
the cause. He bas hopes that better da
is not far ahead. He winds up by saying
"I intend to take the Organ until the lai
hold of the enemy is stormed, and th
tune of VIoToRY OVER KING ALCOHOL
played"
