BRorHER CLARK: / wish YOU to
inform the numerous readers Of your
valuable Organ, that there isa spirit
81 reformation aroused in this vlcin-
ity, in regard tothe kind Of men We
should send to legislate for US, Y Y
a fact we should rather be ashamed 70
acknowledge, that hitherto we have
suffered ourselves to be influenced IN
regard to the subject Of voting, almost
exclusively by party spirit, ,whilstcon-
siderations oil far greater Importance
have been totally, in most cases, ne
elected; viz the consideration wheth-
er we have been voting for men OF
moral, temperate and consistent hab-
its. But am happy to be ableto say
that there is a determination among
the well wishing, refecting portion OF
our citizens to vote for no man, for
any office, who is known to use alco-
holic drinks as a beverage. Now, let
it be clearly understood, that we DO
not mean that we will vote for no man
who does not belong to the Order Of
the Sons Of Temperance, for that
would be in open violation of a funda-
mental principal ofour Order. A few
more turns at the "Organ," and !
think the citizens of our Buckeye
State, will be prepared to signalize
themselves by adopting law Of pro-
hibition to the liquor traffic; and you
may sound it through the Organ, that
with several others, have determined
to vote at all coming elections for the
best men we can select from among
the Wing and Democratic candidates;
and if either party will nominate q
ticket composed of strictly moral,
temperate men, we will vote that ticket
let it be from whatsoever party; and
if neither party will do that, we will
be under the necessity Of selecting our
own candidates. Yours, &C.,

AN ACT

Further defining the power of Trus-
tees of Townships, passed March l2tb,
1853.
Be ii enacted By The General ASSEM-
bly, of the State of Ohio, That the
Trustees Of each and every organized
township in this State, shall have power
to suppress or prohibitall houses, shops
or stores known as places of (G)
hd5itaal resort for tippliny or intem-
perance; under such rules and ordi-
nances, and by the imposition of such
fines and penalties, as they may deem
proper, provided no fine shall exceed
fifty dollars d and costs, including
the fees of Sheriff or Jailor, nor any
Imprisonment in the county jail, for a
longer time than twenty days.
Sec. 2. That for the purpose Of
carrying into effect the provisions of
this act, said Trustees, or majority
of them, at any regular or special
meeting, may enter in the book Of
records of their respective townships,
an ordinance prescribed (c) as afore-
said, but before the taking effect Of
such ordinance, (d) the same shall be
published for four consecutive weeks
in some newspaper published in the
county, or having general circula-
ton therein; and said Trustees shall
furnish the Justices of the Peace, in
their respective townships, and the
Probate Judges Of the proper county,
with a copy Of such ordinance.
Sec. 8. 1t shall be, and is hereby
made the duty of the Justices Of the
Peace, in the several townships Of this
State, where such ordinance exists,
to enforce the rules and ordinances
prescribed as aforesaid, (e) and upon
complaint on oath or affirmation,
charging any person with violations Of
such ordinances, to issue their war
rants directed to the proper constable,
who shall serve the same as in other
criminal cases, and the defendant,
when arrested, may have the benefit
of trial by jury, which jury shall be
summoned in the same manner as iu-
ries before Justices Of the Peace in
civil cases. The defendant shall also
have the benefit of Sertiorari, error,
or appeal to the Probate Court Of the
proper county, by giving bond and

Temperanoe LegislatiOn.
For The Organ.


Mr.. EDIroR WIN you pleasepub-
lish, for the information Of your read
ers, the following act, passed by the
legislature Of Ohio, on the subject Of
the suppression of houses shops and
stores kaown to be places Of habitual
resort for tippling and intemperance'
/ am sure, Mr.. Editor, that every
friend Of Temperance, including those
who voted for this bill, will, ON rehec-
ton, most sincerely regret the passage
Of such an act. It is precisely such
legislation as the friends Of Temper
ance who have looked on the subject
in all its bearings, do not want; be-
cause, lst. 1t is unjust and partial.
ed. It's uncertain. Sd. It's imprac-
ticabIe. 4th. 1t is not and cannot be
made efficacious. 9th. II conflicts
with other legislation. 9th. It takes
legislative power, and responsibility
from those who are elected for that
purpose, and bestows it upon three
men in each township who were not
selected for any such purpose, and who
in very many cases, are entirely in
competent to perform the duty. 7th.
1t makes that a law to-day which may
be repealed tomorrow, leaving nc
possible certainty in relation to pro-
ceedings under it, and though | might
add hundred others, | will only add
here as the 9th and last: It is such
Legislation as must inevitably be taken
back, and there will then be the same
cry as is now raised about the back
track in Illinois, But here is the law,
and the reader will please read in con-
nection with it the brief notes ap-
pended. ~.

security in double the amount Of fine
andcosts imposed BY such justice, and
said Court, to which is hereby given
appellate Jurisdiction in all cases atis-
ing under this act, shall proceed T.
hearing and trial Of such cause in the
same manner as if such Court ha
original jurisdiction. All appeals take
under this act, shall be fled in th,
Probate Court Of the proper county
within ten days from the rendition OF
the Judgment Of any Justice Of the
Peace; writs of certiorari shall be
prosecuted within the same time.
Sec, 4. All fines imposed under this
act, together with the costs of prose-
cution, including the fees of Sheriff or
Jailor, shall be collected, by the JUS
ice of the Peace, orthe Probate Judge
finally determining the same, and
when collected shall be paid into the
treasury of the proper township, and
the fine shall be appropriated for the
use of common schools (f).
Sec. 5. o In all prosecutions under
this act, the Justices of the Peace
shall require the complaining witness
to give security for all costs that may
accrue, in case the defendant shall be
found not guilty (g).
i Sec, 6. The provisions of this act
shall not extend to any Incorporated
city, or incorporated village in this
State, in which there shall be in force
any ordinance for the suppression or
prohibition of houses, shops or stores,
known as places of habitual resort for
l tippling and intemperance (h.
/ Sec. z. 1t is hereby made the duty
Of the several Prosecuting Attorneys,
to prosecute all cases arising under this
act, whenever the same shall be taken
by appeal or certiorari into the Pro-
bate Court. @ M
Sec. 8. The Justice or Probate
Judge, before whom a prosecution un-
der this act is finally determined
against the defendant may commit,
and it shall be the duty Of the Sheriff
or Jailor to receive and safely keep
such defendant in the county Jail, in
accordance with the terms Of the COM
mitment; and the fees of the Sheriff
or Jailor shall be paid out of the treas
ury of the proper township, or the or
der of the Township Trustees.

NoTEs. "a. This only reaches
houses knoaUn as places of habitual re-
sort for tippling and intemperance.-
The prosecutor must first establish
what "ha6ituaI resort" means, then
what "tippling and intemperance
means, and then, that the house, shop
or store, which is complained of is
such place. Those who have had
any experience in such prosecutions,
will know that in ninety cases out Of a
hundred, this would leave loop hole
through which the guilty would escape.
Again, genteel saloon, respectable
bar, a shop or store that sells to be
carried cut of the room when sold, is
not included nor intended to be. The
poor mans GROCERY may be fined and
he imprisoned, while the rich mans
genteel recruiting Office goes acquit.--
1t is partial and unjust if it could be
enforced.
b. The fine is much more severe
than under the much abused Maine
Law. But it will not be feared, be-
causei it is entirely uncertain. 1t leaves
the liquor still in the possession Of the
seller, Selling is not Enable. The
act Of sale is not inquired into. He
may sell right on before the Justices
eyes. If convicted, heappeals, mean
time he will make twice as much by
the sale as all the fines and costs, and
if, in the end, he fails to make good
defense, he snaps his fingers at the
collector of fines, and tells him if he
can get money Outiof him, he can do
more than anybody else can.
c. There is provision that allows
in Franklin county twenty three, (more
or less, different laws on the same
subject, and if the Trustees please to
! meet in their Legislative capacity, and

For the Organ.
At ameeting ofthe citizens Of MARI
boro' and vicinity, convened in The
Town Hall, Feb. Goth. Martin An
derson, ESQ. was called to the
Chair, and B. @. Gilbert appointed
Secretary.
1t was announced that Jacob Mar
shall had commenced the sale of in.
toxicating liquor in the village, and
that the object of the meeting was to
devise such action as would compel
him to abandon further sale, as the
liberation of such an establishments
could not be permitted by temperate
community.
On motion, a Committee of six was
appointed to visit Mr.. Marshal, and
report the result of their interview af-
ter a recess. Hannah L. Brook,
Lewis Morgan, Matilda Walton, AL
fred Holbrook, Mary Erwin and ia.
cobI Wolf constituted Committee.
to which Cat his own request Elisha
Erwin was added. I
An address by Rev. Mr.. Hanger;
and a Temperance song by the choir
finished the morning exercises.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The claims Of the Ohio Organ upon
this community were presented in
short but spirited addresses, by Henry
Pennock and Jacob Wolf, and thirty
subscribers were obtained. Pending
the report Of the Committee, short
speeches were made by different per-
sons, in which the general question
was discussed, and the pernicious in
fuence the case under consideration
must exert on the citizens Of the place
and its vicinity, and particularly on
the fourishing Union school Of which
Mr.. Holbrook is principal. 1t was in
evidence that the success of the insti!
tuition was, in part attributable to the
known fact, that in Marlboro, intoxi-
eating drinks were notsold, and that
hence, distant parents and guardians,
could send their children, and wards
with an assurance that they would not
be exposed to this species of temptal
ton. 1il ta UeaIg g'dalA a-9H
