nN or before the LIST Of January, 1854, tho Exocu-
~ tive Committee of tho New York State Temper
Society will issue the first number OF Month
ly temperance Journal, under the title Of Tax Pso
HIBITIoNIsr.''

ITs 0BJEcT-To advocate the Cause Of Temper
generally and especially the Legislative Prohibi-
tion Of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages, to pre-
pare tho minds of the for snch Prohibition by
showing its expedency and Necessity, and to secure
by all the influence 1t may legitimatey exert, the
vigorous enforcement Of Prohibitory Laws when OBJ
tanned.
IT'S FIELD Dealing with general principles with
arguments alike applicable to every community where
the traffic exists and with facts illustrative OF these
arguments and principles the paper will be Nat,on
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 sec
the Principle of Prohibition established in State after
State, till it becomes the recognised policy OF the M
u
work, and to this end The PRoHIBlTIosIsT is estab-
ishcd not tho organ Of society merely, but of a
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 re-
strcts them to the friends of the cause. The Pho
HIBITIoNisT is designed for circulation (instead OF
tracts) among the Indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put Mt price SO low us 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 rc
ceive it.
Irs PRIcE.-one copy for one year so SO

Seven do. do. 90
And for each additional four copies $l.O0 will be
added, for any quantity less than fifty copies
For fifty copies to ono address 81 W

No subscription received FOR less than one year,
and in every case the order must be accompanied by

The paper will be under the general direction Of
the Executive Committee who have received ample
assurances of literary aid from not few of the abest
and most eminent writer's in tho temperance ranks
throughout the Union.
The work will be stereotyped and back numbers
be supplied TO subscribers at any time during
the year.
All orders should be addressed to O. Scovill, Pub
fishing Agent, Albany.

interests Of the cause generally should be directed to
