After general interchange of sentiment, and
communication of Information as 10 the present
ss,te Of the cause the following resolutions were
seysraliy introduced, thoroughly discussed and
unanimously adopted, to wit:
1. Resolued, That the action of our last hesls-
Iature is an unmistakeable indication that the leg
;siation demanded by the friends of Temperance,
cannot be obtained except from men elected Tor
that epecifc purpose. eg.
Resoired, That the law enacted by the Gen
eraI Assembly at its recent session, giving 10 town
ship Trustees limited legislative powers on the
subject Of tipping shops, is in no respect sucha law
as commends itself to the friends of Temperance,
and is not suited to the present wants Of tie COM
mu6ity.
9. Resolred, That we recommend that The uns-
ed efforts of the friends of the cause in this STATE
be now concentrated on the single object OF e!ee-
ting men to the Legislature, pledged to susip;n
and vote for law similar in its fundamental prn
ciples to the Maine Liquor Law.
4. Resoired, That as one OF the most efficnclous
means for securing the aforementioned result,
and securing unity and harmony Of action among
ourseIyes. we recommend the organization of
Temperance Alliances in every county in this
State with auxiaries in every township on
principles simiar to the constitution herewith
published.
S. Resolred, That the several county Alliances
be requested to send delegates 10 Columbus, on
such day of June as may hereafter be designated
by the chairman of this committee, for tue purpose
Of forming State Temperance Alliance, and thai
at the same time and place there be held MASS
CONVENTION ofthe friends Of Temperance,
at which it is desired that such masses shall be IN
attendance, as will convince opponents that we
both know our rights and how TO maintain them.
6. Resolred, That we confidently, look to the
Temperance men of the severnl counties oftliis
State, to seq TO it that County Alliances, With
township auxiliaries are immediately organized and
as there is no time to be lost, we recommend that
they proceed promptly and energetcaliy to work.
without depending upon the help of popular lec-
turers, unless such aid can be obtained without
delay.
z. Resolred, That in order to carry on the en-
suing campaign with spirit pnd energy, it is in
dispensabIe that liberal amount of funds be rais-
ed and placed at the disposal of the Executive
Committee for the purpose of defraying the ex-
pepses of lecturers, and the printing and dis
semination of temperance documents, and other
correct information: and that we earnestly enreat
the friends of the cause 10 take Immediate
measures to provide such aid, and reportthe same
70 cur Financial Agent at Columbus at the earliest
practicable day, or TO give pledge of the amounts
which tue committee may certainly rely uron
without given period.
g. Resolued, That Warren jenkins. Esq, of
Columbus be and he is hereby appointed Finan-
cal and General agent of the cause in lhis State,
and that he be authorized to solicit and receiVe
contribution, and to dsburse the same on the order
