north part of the state, but has not made
partic ular report of his labors, Messrs.
Chance, Edwards, Williams and Pies
ter have been constantly at work instant
in season and out Of season doing eff.
cient service. Not having any reports
from these brethren we cannot speak in
detail but let it suffice that they have
been aithful, earnest and successful.
The clergy throughout the State, Of
ave. denomination, have in their re-
speot I'VE fields been true to the interests
If the great cause. A number of them
have delivered able sermons, which have
been printed and distributed extensively.
We will not particularise, lest we should
do injustice.
Foote, of Cleveland, 0lds, Of Circle
vile, Judge Fishback, Of Clermont, and
host of others, have publicly and ably
discussed the subject, as opportunity has
presented itself. '. d
The Editor, during part of the can
vass, was laboring in Vermont, New
Hampshire, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania but during the summer
he has addressed audiences in Hamilton,
Butler, clermont, Clinton, Warren,
Meigs, Athens, Franklin, Champagne,
Miami, Shelby, Delaware, Huron, Nor
row, Richland, Cuyahoga and Muskin-
gum counties. ~,
The State Committee have been ac-
tive and efficient. Warren Jenkins,
Esq, the Secretary and active member
Of the Committee, has been untiring in
his efforts, and he deserves and will re-
ceive the lasting gratitude of every true
friend Of temperance in Ohio. His po-
sition has been a most laborious and
perplexing one yet he has discharged
with fidelity the responsible duties de-
volving upon him. a..ono ai
A. A. Stewart, of Columbus, the finan-
cial Agent of the Committee, has done
more to replenish the Treasury of the
Committee than all the other agencies
and instrumentalities employed. From
pure love to the cause, and an earnest
desire for its success, he closed up his
place Of business and gave himself up to
the work assigned him. He has travelled
over greater portion of the State; night
and day he has been Vigilant and active,
and has doubtless made more and greater
sacrifices than any other man in the
field. His has been the most unpleasant
task, and yet he did not shrink from its
performance. God bless and rewaid
this worthy Brother.
We have thus very imperfectly and
hastily sketched an outline of the cam
paign through which we have just pass
ed. All will be satisfied that much labor
has been performed, and at a small pc
cuniary cost. Probably the brethren in
some localities have felt that they were
neglected, but they must be satisfied
however the fact may be, that hercu-
lean work has been done.
Funds.
In addition TO the above, we learn that
the Committee have incurred heavy LA
bilities, which have not yet been dis
charged for want of the necessary funds.
The Assessments upon the different
counties have in very few instances been
realized, and in many net a dollar has
been raised for the Committee. We
hope that the friends will see to this
matter and relieve the Committee Of all
embarrassments without delay. Let US
close up all old accounts and open new
set of books for more efficient and sue
