(lN 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 TIE PRO
HIBITIonisT."
Irs sIzK--It will be printed on double medium
sheet making eight quarto pages, OF four columns 70
page; and, excluding adv ertisements, each number
will contain amount of reading matter equal at
least to that furnished by largerszed daily jour
nails, or to that of an ordinary duodecmo volume OF
100 pages.
ITs 0DJEcT.-To advocate the Cause of Temper
ance generally and especially the Legislative Prohibi
ton Of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages to pre-
pare the minds Of the masses for such Prohibition by
showing its cxpcdiency and Necessity and to secure
by all the influence it may legitmntoly 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 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 alter
State till II becomes tho recognised policy Of the Ma
ton. 1t is ambition to bear part this great
work, and to this end The PRoHiBirIoSIsT Is esab-
shed, not the organ Of society merely, but of
GREAT REFoRMAToRY MOVEMENT.
ITs NEcEssITy.--Tho existing Temperance jour
nails have little if any, circulation outside Of the Tenn
perance Ranks. Their price almost necessarily rc-
strcts them to the friends Of the cause. The Pro.
HIBITIoNIsT is designed for circulation instead OF
tracts among tho Indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put ut price so low us to enable
the friends of temperance in every school district by
combined action and ut an uncomfortable expense,
to place copy in each family that will consent to re-
ceive it.
