ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.


at liberty to talk to our numerous reAOsi.. !.
in fres.and easy, fre-side style, just as u
thev were all around US; and we nope no
one win take umbrags at any thing We may
saw. Cfor we sometimes speak very pta'H') q
no ofFsnse d intended. Our principal oD-
iect. and we might say with truth our only
one is to advance the cause Of temperance
and build up strong temperance feellng IN
communities where il does not now exist.
Apd we can do 50 in no other way than by
increasing the readers of the Organ, where
the paper is already partially circulated
and by introducing it into towns and VII
la0es. where it has no circulation at all
In our last, we urged upon readers the great
necessity Of increased excrtiOn, on the part
Of our friends in this respect, as a means
of doing good, and promised to offer extra
Inducements to such as desire to take the
field for the Organ In another column
the reader will find our list Of premiums,
which, for size and number, have never
been eoualled in the Union. Those Of our
friends who have examined them, say they
are splendid-magni6cient, aud that If they
do not arouse the latent energies Of the
friends of temperance generally, nothing
short of "ten foot pole" in strong arms,
viii have any effect upon theml Just think
of it, brethren, ONE HUNDRED DOL
LARS IN CASH in five premiums; and
FIFTY DOLLARS to the person sending
in the largest number Of subscribersl That
of itself is enough to induce any one to
action, aside from the honor and glory OF
carrying off triumphantly the largest pre-
MUM. And then come the smaller ones,
twenty, fiften, ten and five dollars, and
two thousand tracts, besides the splendidly
engraved likeness of the Editor, Samuel +.
Cary, as P. M. W. p, and the Lectures Of
Drs. Fisher and Beecher. These, to say the
least, are very liberal premiums, just as
much as we can afford, at this time, and If
our friends do not (in city talk) "get up
and dust, there is no hope for them, or for
our promised FIVE thousand subscribers, or
for the adoption Of the Maine Law in OhiOl
We have no expectation Of realizing for
tune by publishing the Organ. AL we re-
ceive over and above enough 70 pay ex-
penses, will bs;paid back in one way or an
other, for the benefit of the cause.
Our only reason for Offering these premi
ums is, that those who work shall be PaiC
for their trouble. We make nothing by tn
overation, save the increase in our circula
ton, the profits and more too, being paid t
the successful Agents;I but this makes n
difference to US. We want FIVE THOU
SAND subscribers in Ohio, and UiH h0r
them, or more ''nOise and confusion" wi
he raised around the devoted heads of ou
friends. than Gen. Cass witnessed at Cleve
land.
That all may have fair chance to CON
pete for the premiums, we send out aoou
one thousand extra copies of the Organ
with two or three thousand large posters
which we request may be properly POste
up in conspicuous places. Who will b
the first to respond to our liberal OfersF-
Now is the time TO commence, as all name
sent in after this date, will be counted 10
the premiums. Let no one delay, for W
desire to do all the good we can. and IN
sooner names are forwarded the better.
