DAILY NATIONAL ERA.
PROSPECTUS OF THE PRoHIBIYIOsIsT

If any State deems tho retail and internal traffic
IN ardent spirits injurious TO its citizens and calcu
lated to produce idlencss vice. or debauchery see
nothing In the Constitution OF the United States to
prevent il from regulating restraining the traffic
or from prohibiting it altogether II II thinks proper
Chicf Justice Taiey.
AN or before the LIST of January 1854, the Execu-
~ tive Committee OF the New York State Temper
Society will issue the first number Of Month
ly temperance Journal, under the title OF The Pro
HIBITIONlsT.}'
IRIS SIzE-It will be printed on double medium
sheet making eight quarto 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 argerszcd daily jour-
mails, to that Of an ordinary duodecimo volume OF
100 pages
IRIS 0BJEcr-To advocate the Cause of Temper
generally and especially tho Legislative Prohbi-
ton Of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages to pre-
pare tho minds of the for such Prohibition, by
showing its cxpedcncy and Necessity, and TO secure
by all the influence 1t may legtimatciy exert, tho
vigorous enforcement of Prohibitory Laws when OBJ
tanned
ITs FIELD.--Dealing 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 bo Natsona
in its spirit, in its scope in its purpose anu 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 cstabshedfn State after
State, till it becomes the recognised policy OF the Ma
ton. It Is ambition to bear part IN this great
work, and to this end The PRoHiBiTIoNIsT Is esab-
lshcd not as the organ Of society merely, but OF
GRKAT REFoRMAToRY MOVEMENT.
IRIS NEcEssITY.-Th existing Temperance Jour-
mails have little if any circulation outside ftho Tenn
perance Ranks. Their price almost necessarily rc-
strcts them to the friends of the cause. The Pro
HIBITIoNIsT is designed for circulation lnstead of
tracts among the indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put at price so low as 70 enable
the friends of Temperance in every school district by
combined action and at an uncomfortable expense,
to place copyin each family that will consent to re-
ceive it.
