A State Temperance Convention was held in
Albany, N. Y, day or two since. Edward G..
Delavan was elected President Resolutions
were adopted to the effect that the friends of
temperance should not be discouraged by the
veto of Gov Seymour to the liquor bill, but
should adhere more firmly to, and labor more
earnestly for the great principle of prohibition.
They further resolved that "we have no wish
or purpose to injure or to benefit any political
party as such-and we desire the Cooperation
OF all, and shall cordially approve of all so far
as their action is promotive of the principles of
the reform we advoeate-so far as it is antaoo-

theIn, as such, Is what we want-what we need
and what zoe must and wiu haze Then,
Throughout this mighty nation.
Let the cry be Legislation"
Long enough we've tried persuasion,
Twill not stop the degradation,
Crime, and woe, and devastation.
While men deal out ruination,
And are holding out temptation
To the slave of dissipation.
Let US stop intoxication,
Close each den of degradation,
Send each mourner consolation.
Bring the dying to salvation,
BY Maine Law legislation,
Let us save our glorious nation,
From utter ruination
BY whiskey distillation.
Wen not cease the agitation,
Until our beloved nation
Has beheld reformation,
Which shall stop the preparation
OF brewers fermentation,
To scatter deselation,
Crime, and woe, and dissipation,
Throughout the wide creation.
No! the good in every statan,
Wllhproclaiu disapprobation,
No. the good in every station,
Will proclaim disapprobation,
OF unholy legislation,
Which sanctions dissipation,
And, with determination,
Contend for legal suasion,
10 cleanse this mighty nation
From its moral degradation.
Soon the joyful acclamation
Shall resound throughout creation,--
The dire abomination
Of whiskey distillation
Has ended its duration;
oh what consolation
Will be felt throughout creation
When we shout " consummation.n
