NORWICH, Muskingum co., Oh ,6

March 4, 1853,
Mr.. EDIEoR Permit me to say
that the Temperance cause is in a
prosperous condition in our county
and in this village, Our court is right,
and a large majority in nold Muskin-
gum are determined to use all prn-
dental means to arrest the ravages in
temperance is making. Though we
have accomplished much, yet much
is to do, = The Sons in our town are
largely on the increase men from
whom we but a short time since, had
but little hopes of ever becoming as
sociated with us, have recently enlist
ed, and are now zealously engaged
in the great and glorious cause Of
Temperance. But a few weekss ago,
there was organized here a Division
Of Cadets, which are doing good busi-
ness. The Daughters have also come
up to the work, and the cry is stiIl
they come. The impression is gain
ing ground rapidly, that the Maine
Law is the only law that can accom-
phsh the object desired--the destruc-
tion ofintoxicating drinks as abever-
age. Our Division will soon send
money for your most excellent paper,
II is doing good here; and lam in
hopes will be extensively circulated.
The impression here is becoming
strong thatitis inconsistent with our
cause for Temperance men to support
for our Legislative Halls, men Of
known intemperance, or men who will
not come out and declare publicly,
that theywill support the great Tenn
perance reformation. Let the friends
Of our cause throughout the State look
prayerfully at this subject, and they
doubtless will soon discover, that tits
very inconsistent to give the lie to all
their friendship for the Temperance
cause, by giving to the ballot box
and supporting for Office the tea
shouted, ,Uodted faced, ,aordlly-polIated,
wosld be politician better stay al
home, and pray God to make them
better temperance men. Let us upon
this point be united and determined,
and victory will crown our efforts. n,
Yours in the Temperance cause, ii.

Mayors Report.

When in Middletown, Connecticut,
in December, the Editor was the
guest Of the very worthy Mayor Of
that city, Benjamin Douglass ESQ.
On the 9TH ult., his honor made his
annual report to the City Council, in
which ghe speaks out like a man, on I
the subject Of temperance reform. d
We love to- see men in office, who
dare tell the truth on this subject. I
Mr.. Douglass says. ..,a y a,,,.. ',.',..
"The dreadful and alarming evil
Of intemperance still exists, in our,
midst, carrying down its scores of
valuable minds reeling and Itotteriug
to drBnkards'b grayes-minds onlYO
living TO fill up our Jails and Aims
Houses with objects Of pity and sor-r,
row, and to pain and affiict the hearts
Of sorrowing parents and wives and
children, made Wretched by their de-
graduation and shame. The statistics. ,
Of our own Jail and aims house are
enough to awaken in us feelings Of
alarm for the condition Yof asoCiety.,
Of the sixty-six prisoners. committed
to our jail the past year, ending Jan.
1st, 1853, the Jailor informs me that
three fourths Of them came there by. /.
intemperance;. and the keeper Of the
alms-house informs me that Of the for T.
ty-two persons within the same, three
forths Of those came there through
intemperance. With such facts be-
fore US, we are led to exclaim, how i
long shall this deplorable state Of so-@ h
ciety exist? How long shall the
cause Of this evil remain to thus blast
and miIdeW the fair hopes Of society!
How long shall this a6ominable busi-
ness Of dram-selling continue to be
legalized in our State? Who,that has
one particle cf pride for the honor and /,
fame Of his Slate, or regard for suf-
fering humanity around 6im,,wiIl not
