The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-09-09

termined that partyism shall not keep them
from performing their duty this time.
An intelligent correspondent Of the Troy
Times, after recording the formation of an
Alliance, sends out the following stirring
appeal to his brother:
1t is highly gratifying to see the doctors
and preachers joining, hand in hand, in this
| glorious moral and political reform. The
one can testify of its injurious effects on the
body, the other Of its debasing influence on
the soul. And you will see before the end
of this communication that the lawyers,
mechanics, farmers, and indeed every class
Of persons are beginning to move.
"Our distiller, who appears to be quite
gentleman, was present at our meeting In
Tip, but, when soliciting to join the Alliance,
smiled and shook his head. He has, how
ever signified that, if the Maine Law passes,
he will turn his distillery into an Oil Mill.
Wouldn't his oil make the faces of temper

1t appears to be the general sentiment
wherever we go, that as there is no great

overwhelming influence to our next Legis-

ers, lOg-rollers, and Old FOgyism to the con-

years, and will do so this year, if the party
will give us good temperance men but II
not, will bid them farewell, this fall, at
least" Another rose up and stated, that

now he would vote temperance at all hazards
