(lN or before the LIST of January 1854, the Execu-
~ tive Committee OF the New York State Temper
rance Society will issue tho first number OF Month
ly temperance Journal, under the title OF THE FRO
HIBIrIoSIsr."
IRIS SIzE.-It will be printed on double medium
sheet making eight quaro pages, OF four columns TO
page; and, excluding advertisements, each number
will contain an amount of reading matter equal at
least to that furnished by our daily jour-
mails, or to that OF an ordinary duodecmo volume OF
$50 pages.
IRIS 0BJEcT-T0 advocate the Cause OF Temper
generally and especially the Legislative Prohibi-
ton of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages TO pre-
pare the minds of the for such Prohibition by
showing its expediency and Necessity and to secure
by all the influence ii may legtimately exert, the
vigorous enforcement of Prohibitory Laws when OBJ
tained
ITs FIELD.-Dcaling with general principles, with
arguments alike applicable to every community where
tho traffic exists and with facts illustrative OF these
arguments and principles the paper will be National
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 after
State till it becomes the recognised policy OF the Ma
ton. 1t is ambition to bear part IN this great
work, and to this end THE PRoHIBlrIoEIsT is estab
shed, not the organ of society merely, but Of
GREAT REFoRMAToRY MOVEMENT.

mails have little if any circulation outside of the Tenn
pcranco Ranks. Their price almost necessarily re-
strcts them to the friends of the cause. The Pho
HTBITIoNIsT is designed for circulation Gnstead OF
tracts among the Indifferent and the hostile For
this purpose it is put Mt price low as to enable
the friends of temperance in every school district, by
combined action and ut an inconsiderable expense,
to place copyn each family that will consent to re-
ceive it.
