lated to produce idleness, vice, or debauchery zee
nothing in the Constitution of the United States 70

or from prohibiting 1t altogether II It thinks proper
Chit Justice fancy.
nN or before tho LIST of January, 1854, the 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
HIBITIoNIsT.'i
ITs SIzE.-It will be printed on double medium
sheet making eight quaro pages Of four columns TO
a page; and excluding advertisements, each number
will contain an amount of reading matter equal at
least to that furnished by our daily jour

l50 pages.
Irs 0DJEcT-To advocate the Cause Of Temper
ance generally and especially the Legislative Prohibi-
tion Of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages TO pre-
pare tho minds of the for such Prohibition by
showing its expedency and Necessity and to secure,
by all the influence it may legitimately exert, the
vigorous enforcement Of Prohibitory Laws when OBJ
tanned. 4@

arguments alike applicable to every community where
tho traffic exists and with facts illustrative OF these
arguments and principles the paper will be Naft0nM
in It's spirit in its scope in its purpose and trust,

work, and to this end The PRoHlBTIoNIsT is estab-
lished not the organ of society merely but OF
GREAT RRFoRMAToRY MOVEMENT.
ITs NEcEssITY-Thc existing Temperance jour
nails have little if any, circulation outside Of the Tenn
pcrance Ranks. Their price almost necessarily re-
stricts them to the friends of the cause. The PRo-
HIBITIoNIsT is designed for circulation instead OF
tracts) among the indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put at price SO low as to enable
the 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.
