tcenth anniversary of this excellent Association
was recently celebrated in the city of New

of more than ordinary interest and encourage
ment to the friends of the cause, to promote
which the Union was instituted The annual
report of the institution was read by the Secre-
tary, DR.. Marsh. 1t details an extraordinary
progress during the past year. furnishing infor-
nation of the adoption thus far, of prohibito-
ry law in five Of the States Of the Republic, not
of a character in all cases, to be sure to meet

crime, and greater amount of comfort aud
prosperity in those communities in which the
reform has been successfully advanced. Dis
satisfaction is expressed at Gov. Seymour's
veto Of the Liquor Law of New York, and high
ly dattcring intelligence is given of the spread
Of temperance in many foreign countries.
Among the resolutions passed ON the occasion
was the following:
Res3lred That the legislation of the State Of
New York. the past season. has shown an cxalt-
ed state of moral principle and patriotism in
those who have been elected to make laws for
the people; and that the veto of the Temper
ancc Bill by the Governor of the State for rca-
sons which bear no examination, and on un-
founded assumptions of injury to the cause of
temperance, il, in our opinion, a GREAT CIVIL.
AND MORAL WRONG to all the vital interests Of
the community. We can view it only as judg-
mcnt ofHeavcn for our sins, which should hum
Bile and excite all the people of the State, who
love their country and race, to greater zeal
and earncstucss, that the curse may be removed
and the earth no more receive its slain.
