to reach. Let every active temperance man do his
duty in circulating the Campaign Organ, as we in

enOrmies of the liquor traffic, and the evils result

Brethren of Ohio, awake, " shake
the dew drops from your garments
and march to battle and to victory.
Nothing is wanting but for every
temperance man and woman to do
their duty in their respective fields to
secure a triumph, such as has never
yet been recorded in the history of
the temperance movements. We are
in the midst of a mighty revolution,
and every one must be at his post.
Ohio is regarded as one Of the
strongest holds of the enemy, the very
Gibraltar of the whisky manufacture
and traffic. This must be taken
the enemy must be routed ! the
munitions of their bloody war upon
the race must be destroyed f!
We can have any number Of eff
cient soldiers from abroad, and we
have many at home who must be
employed. We must have money as
we'll as men, so down with your
dust" Better made extra exertions
now, and do up the work, than to have
the struggle protracted years longer.
1t will cost us less time and money to
draw heavily upon both at once, than
to be triAing for long period. Those
who can speak must take the stump
those who have money must give it
as the Lord has prospered them and
those who have neither speaking
talents nor money, must aid in the
circulation Of documents, get subscri-
bers for the Organ, and other temper
ance papers. There is a place fol
every one to be active and accom-
/ plish great good.
See Wbdt one man has done ! Bro
/ A. A. Stewart, a mechanic, of Colum-
bus, has sent us three handred sab
scribers for the Organ, since the COM
mencement of the present volume.
/ All honor to such laborer !! There
are 10000 men in Ohio who have the
same ability, and the same means to
\ do service as Bro. Stewart, who have
done nothing. 1t is not fair, honest
or just, that a few men should do Sc
much and others do so little, and do
that little SO grudgingly.
/ Again we call upon all to put away
all excuses, buckle on the armor and
come to the rescue of our beloved
i Ohio.

Our Picnic.

- -
nual season of rejoicing and excite
ment to the American people We
are thus and then reminded Of the
successful struggle for liberty made
by our forefathers, more than seventy
years since. The manner of celebra-
ting this day is not uniform. Many
make it time for qualification Of de-
praved apPetites, and degrade them
selves below the beasts, by the use Of
irritating and poisonous liquors.
Some furnish contrast to the COM
prehensive philanthropy of the true
patriot by engaging in disgraceful
fights and horrid blasphemy, against
that kind Providence SO mercifully
protecting our Nation. BUTT has been
our privilege to enjoy festival on our
last anniversary, marred by no un-
toward accidents or unfriendly feel
ings. The day was surprisingly
lovely-pure and bracing air, with
gentle breezes, and all nature rejoic-
ing in the refreshing showers, recently
fallen. A large and respectable por-
ton of our community, were quickly
taken by the iron horse to fine grove
near Carthage, where preparations
had been made for listening to elo-
quent and noble champions in the
cause of temperance and the Maine
Law.
Here were beautiful maidens from
the metropolis and fertile valleys, and
strong armed and large-hearted young
men enjoying in its fulness the spring
time of life. There, with more quiet
mien, were the hoary-headed patri-
archs, who first came forth to this
now mighty West, as pioneers Of the
tide of civilization, now beginning to
break upon the shores Of distant Or
egon. Whilst WILLIAMS held up to
view the dark features of intemper-
ance, as the reformed drunkard only
| can, the hot blood hurried in quick
ened pulses through every feature,
and the flashing eye and quivering
/ lips showed the power of his soul-stlr-
ring eloquence. The moistening tear
and hearty laugh were often elected
in close succession. Who has not
heard pur city'S pride-Gen. S. F.
CARY? He is battling in a nobler
cause than falls to the lot of soldiers
usually. His laurels are won by
| great moral triumphs in the cause Of
virtue and rectitude. His strong COM
parisons and close logical reasoning
carried conviction to every heart
Were I to dwell upon the excellent
sentiments, caustic wit and well-told
stories of EDWARDS, it would occupy
too large portion Of your excellent
paper. Others spoke-well and no
bly,. But I leave it to more compe-
tent narrators to give a detailed ac-
count of the occasion. Three hearty
cheers were given for Michigan and
three more that made the weikin ring
were sent up for the Maine Law. At
the appointed hour we returned to the
city. The Impressions there made,
however will be deeply engraven on
all hearts, and serve to bind together

Columbus, in response to the call of F.,
the State Executive Committee, but |
we dared not even hope to witness
what our eyes saw. The farmers left
their harvesting implements in their
fields; the mechanics their tools in
the shop, and came up to consult for
the common welfare. All classes and
ages and sexes were there. The streets
of the city Of Columbus were thronged
with delegates. OF the business
transacted we refer the reader to the
official reports. On the morning of
the 3Oth, procession was formed,
consisting of Cadets, Daughters and
Sons Of Temperance, Templars and
Citizens; and the multiplied thousands,
preceded by band of music, repaired
to "Goodale Park, a most delightful
grove, about mile from the State
House.
One of the most beautiful things
we ever saw was the Triumphal Car,
full of little Misses dressed in white,
representing the several States. In
the center of the car there was an
elevation, which was covered by a
beautiful canopy, in which stood a
little girl representing Maine; gathered
around her upon platform, interme-
diate between Maine and the other
States, were Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Michigan. Ohio
was near, with her little banner in
scribed "Ohio is coAing." When
the procession had al entered the
grove, it appeared like vast sea of
life and Joy and exultation.
After the transaction OF some pre-
liminary business, Mr.. Miller, Esq,
on behalf of the Convention, read
neat, beautiful and appropriate ad-
dress of welcome to the Hon. Neal
Dow, the world-renowned author Of
the world-admiring Law. Mr.. Dow
then proceeded to address the i'm
mense audience for two hours. The
most lively interest was manifested in
all that he said. 1t was plain, clear,
logical argument, in favor of law of
/ prohibition. He concluded by giving
somewhat in detail the glorious results
\ of the Law of Maine.
/ DR.. Jewett then took the stand, and
with his powerful logic, apt illustra-
tions, and inimitable wit, held the
audience an hour longer. We can
not give the reader even an outline Of
these addresses.
During the Sittings of the Conven-
ton, eloquent speeches were made by
the classic and soul-strring Cuyler,
of New Jersey, and that noble war
rior, Yates, formerly of Maine, but
now of Michigan, who came fresh
from the battlefield of the "Penin.
suIar State" In the evenings, those
who could not, or did not desire to be
roasted in the churches or at the BAN
quet, were entertained in the street,
by those valiant old soldiers, Edwards
and Williams.
This was the largest, the most graf
flying, the most hopeful Temperance
Convention ever held in Ohio, and its
