ON or before the LIST of January, 1854, tho Execu-
~ tive Committee Of the New York State Temper
rance Society will issue the first number OF Month
ly Temperance journal, under the title of The Pao
HIBiTIosIsT."
IRIS SIzE--It will be printed on double medium
Sheet making eight quarto pages OF four columns to
a page; and excluding adv ertisements each number
will contain an amount Of reading matter equal at
least TO that furnished by larger sized daily jour-
mails, or to that Of an ordinary duodecim0 volume Of
$50 pages.
ITs 0BJEcT-To advocate the Cause Of Temper
ance generally and especially tho Legislative Prohbi-
ton Of the Traffic in Intoxicating beverages, to pre-
pare the minds Of the for such Prohibition. by
showing its cxpedcncy and Necessity, and to secure
by all the influence il may iegitimately exert tho
vigorous enforcement Of Prohibtory Laws when OBJ
tained
Irs FIKLD.-Dealing with general principles with
arguments alike appicablot0 every community where
the traffic exists and with facts illustrative OF these
arguments and principles tho paper will be Nof.0zaf
in its spirit in its scope, in its purpose, and, we trust
it will be National in its circulation and influence.
Such is our aim and expectation. We desire to see
the Principle of Prohibition established in State alter
State till it becomes the recognised policy Of the Ma
tion 1t is our ambition to bear part IN this great
work, and to this end The PRoHIBlrIoNIsT is estab
shed, not tho organ OF society merely, but OF
GREAT RRFoRMAToRY MOVEMENT.
ITs NEcEssITy.-The existing Temperance jour
mails have little if any circulation outside of tho Tenn
porance Ranks. Their price almost necessarily rc-
strcts them to the friends of the cause. The FRO
HIBITIoNIsT is designed for circulation (instead oil
tracts) among the Indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose il is put Mt price so low to enable
the friends Of temperance in evory school district by
combined action and ut an inconsiderable expense
to place copy in each family that will consent to re-
ceive it.
