There never was a time in the his
tory of Temperance in Ohio, when
the signs of the times were so propi.
tious for our final triumph, as at
the present. From majority of the
counties in the State, we have the
cheering intelligence that the good work
goes bravely on thgt the friends of
the cause are united as one man, and
determined to do their share in ridding
the State forever of the monster evil,
intemperance, by means of the Maine
Law. We congratulate our friends
upon this glorious state of affairs. But
there are many dark spots in our
State, that remain to be canvassed.
Once in a while we hear the voice of
friend from amidst the general gloom,
calling for light light We sympath-
ise with him, and do all we can, on
our own account, for the enlightenment
of his fellows but that is not enough
to accomplish any permanent good.
In such places there are not enough
friends of the cause, to stand the ex-
pense of enlightening their fellow-cit-
liens. 1t is the duty of those residing
in healthy localities, to assist their
less fortunate brethren in the good
work of regeneration and redemption.
Brethren, let the good begun work go
on to a successful termination

Campaign Tract for the Times
READ AND CLRCULATE!!

In our paper of April 80, we inserted
short article on the propriety of circulating
a Tract of the import that the name above
indicates. Gen. CARY, has very generously
complied with our call upon him for its
production, and we now announce to our
readers, that we will be ready by the lst of
June to fill as many orders as our friends
can possibly send in-the first orders in
being invariably the first served This will
be one of the best and most conclusive
Tracts ever prepared by Gen. CARY. The
time is propitious, and it should have a
thorough and extensive circulation. It
should be placed in the hands of every vo-
ter in Ohio. Let the county and township
Alliances, Divisions and other organizations
see to this. 1t will be furnished at SIS per
M. which is exactly the cost price.
Notwithstanding the shortness of the
time, and on an intimation merely that such
Tract would be issued, we have already
received many letters of inquiry, and sew
eral large orders. The writers feel and so
express themselves, that nOU is the time FOR
ACTION Send in your orders, brethren, and
let no voter in Ohio say that he voted
against us for want of proper information.

fully read the communication publish
ed last week from Bro. WARREN JEN.
KINs, Secretary Of the State Executive
Committee. 1t contains matter for SER
ious reflection just at this time. This
call upon the liberality and generos-
ity Of the Temperance people of Oh o
should be met at once, and that, too,
Immediately. There is no use in at
tempting to canvass the State thor
oughly, unless those chosen to lead in
the matter, are abundantly supplied
with means. Without it, their hands
are tied, and their efforts to accomplish
the desired end, will be futile. When
either of the political parties of the
day organize themselves for a cam
paign, the first thing they do is TO col
lect a sufficient amount of money for
their purposes. When this is done,
their plans being all made, they COM
mence work, and not till them.
In 1851, when the No-License
clause of the new Constitution was
adopted, nothing was left undone to
secure its adoption. The whole coun-
try was completely flooded with Tracts,
&c. The people were made to under
stand the nature of the contest, and
hence our victory. Had the Grand
Division of Ohio not assumed the re-
sponsibilities of this campaign, we are
firmly Of the opinion that we would
this day be cursed with the Internal
License system. And this campaign
is the sole cause of the present pecun-
iary difficulties of the Grand Division.
There are many, very many, worthy
and honest citizens of Ohio, who have
heard of the Maine Law, but who
know nothing at all about its provis-
ions, the manner of its working, &c.
They would be with US if they under
stood these things, but they will not
vote blindly. This is the vote that
we must have, or we will be defeated
as certain as election comes. We can
reach them in no other way than by
appeals to their better judgment in the
shape of Tracts, placed in their hands
by colporteurs. And this we all know
can not be done, unless the Temper
ance people give liberal of their means

The Meeting at North Bend.

ing held at North Bend, on Tuesday
last 1t was an excellent meeting but
the turn out was not D large as we
had anticipated. The attendance from
the country was very slim, owing no
doubt to the busy season of the farm
ers. But altogether it was a good
meeting, and we hope its results will
be beneficial to the cause.
The boat chartered for the purpose
was well filled with Temperance men
and women from the city, and arrived
at its destination without accident.
The meeting was organized by call
ing Bro. Orr, Of Taylor's creek to the
chair. Afterprayer by the Rev. DR.. Co.
shorn, the assembly was ably addressed
by Bros. Cunningham and Lewis. Both
taking strong ground in favor of the
Maine Law.
Bros. Cunningham, Walker, DR..
Clark, Lewis and Caleb Clark, were
appointed a committee to draft resol-
utions for the consideration of the
meeting. After which the meeting ad-
journed for refreshments.
When reorganized, Mr., Chidlow was
called to the stand.
His address was attentively listened
to. 1t was conclusive and to the point,
and reflected much credit upon Bro.
G. We regret that we have not room
for synopsis; but one anecdote rel
ated by him we must relate, He knew
of very singular pledge taken by an
unfortunate victim of the still. He
resolved to quit its use, and to seal his
determination with a pledge. Splitting
him piece of hicory he pointed it,
and in front of his own door,
drove it deep into mother earth
AS blow after blow descended upon the
stick in driving it home with an axe, ho
repeated the following unique pledge
which he ever afterwards held sac
red. "With the help of God, unit
this hicory shall sprout and grow tc
a mighty tree-until this hicory shall
blossom and bear fruit of its kind,
will not taste-[ will not countenance
its use-and with the hel lp of God,
will not drink one drop ofliquor."
At the close of Bro. C.'s address, the
following resolutions were discussed
and adopted, after which the meeting
adjourned sine die.
Resozved, That while we acknowl-
edge our past remissneSs in the cause
of Temperance, We hail with satisfac-
ton the untiring efforts of our breth-
ren already in the field for the ad-
vancement of the cause, and that for
the future, we will cordially cooper
ate with them in endeavoring to ex-
terminate intemperance with its cause
from our midst.
Resolved, That the appointment of
an Executive Committee in our cOun-
ty, meets our approval, and we pledge
ourselves to use all honorable means
to carry out the measures proposed
by it.
Resolved, That in endeavoring to
secure the adoption Of the "Maine
Law" in our State, we are impelle0 to
the measures, not by spirit ofrevenge
against our erring friends, the grog
sellers, but from a consciousness that
the best interest ofmankind demand it.
ResozUed, That we consider all who
are not committed in favor of the cause

Undiscovered hills gay with blossoms, swell on the
vision like waves of the sea- delight the lover Of the

this city since the first Of the year, Of which twenty
three were steamers and twentyone sailing vessels,
and leaving the stocks twelve steamers and six
teen sailing vessels, Of the aggregate burthen Of
64,973 tons.
As usual, steamers form large proportion Of the
new yessels-there being twenty three Of that class
of the forty -four vessels launched this year and of
the twenty eight vessels the stocks twelve Of
them are steamers.
OF the sailing vessels, clippers comprise q large
number, eleven of that peculiar building having
already been launched this year, and Of the un-
finished vessels nine are of the same character This
does not include the steamers which are in reality
steam clippers
Three masted schooncrs appear to be coming popu
lar among ship owners, several Of that class having
been recently constructed. Their advantages over
squarerigged vessels consist in the small number Of
hands required to work them, and their superiority
in speed on particular Winds
In addition to the above enumerated vessels, we
heard Of some unmatured contracts for several large
steamers and sailing vessels the keels of which will
probably be laid down in a few days.

despatched for Honolulu, s. l., and will probably be
employed in the trade Of the Pacific between that
port and San Francisco.
Her name, the Restless, will revive recollections

owners having given her that christening in memory
OF the first vessel that ever entered Long Island

Mortimer may have done some centuries be-
fore, between Montaug Point and Watch Hill. In

that another the opposite side Of the river would
be the scene of bloody battle and become an an

and tangled swamps north Of hs anchorage would
be transformed intoa city, with its dense population
and its beautiful church spires; and less than all did
be imagine that this clean built craft, with her
beautiful appointments, her sharp bow, and her
