Chit Justice Iamey.
IN 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

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

tracts) among the Indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose 1t is put Mt price so low rs to enable
tho friends of Temperance in every school district by
combined action and at an inconsiderable expense,
to place copy in each family that will consent to re-
ceive it.
