DAILY NATIONAL ERA.
PROSPECTUS or TIKI pRoHIBIYIoSIsr.

III any State deems the retail and internal traffic
In ardent spirits injurious TO its citizens and caeu-
lated TO produce idleness vico, dcbauchery soc
nothing In the Constitution Of tho United States to
prevent it from regulating restraining the traffic,
or from prohibiting ID altogether II it thinks proper
Chief Justice fancy.
ON or before the Ist of January, 1854, the Execu-
~ tive Committee OF tho New York State Temper
rance Society will issue the first number OF Month
iyTemperance Journal, under the title Of The Pro
HIBITIoNIsTu
IRIS SIzE--It will BIO printed on double medium
sheet making eight quarto pages, Of four columns to
page; and, excluding advertisements, each number
VIII contain an amount OF reading matter equal al
least 70 that furnished by our largerszed daily jour
mails, or 10 that Of an ordinary du0dccimo volume OF
100 pages.
IRIS OBJEcr.-To advocate the Cause Of Temper
ance generally and especially tho Legislative Prohibi-
ton OF tho Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages TO pre-
pare the minds of the for such Prohibition by
showing its oxpedoncy and Necessity and to secure
by all the influence it may legitinatcly exert, the
vigorous enforcement Of Prohibitory Laws when OBJ
tanned.
ITs 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 Natt0na
in its spirit in its scope in its purpose and we trust
1t 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 after
State till it becomes tho recognised policy OF the Ma
ton. IL is ambition to bear part IN this great
work, and to this end The PRomBiToNIsT is estab-
lished not as the organ OF society merely but OF
GREAT REroRMAToRY MOVEMENT.
ITs NEcEssITY.--The existing Temperance jour
mails have little if any circulation outside Of the Tom
pcrance Ranks. Their price almost necessarily re-
stricts them to tho friends of the cause. The Pro
HiBITIoNIsr is designed for circulation instead Of
tracts among the indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put Mt price so low MS to enable
tho friends OF Temperance in evcry school district by
combined action and at an nconsiderable EXPENSE
to place copy in each family that will consent to re-
ccive it.
IT'S PRrcE.-One copy for ono year so 80
Three, to ono address one year 90
Seven do do W
And for each additional four copies, $1O0 will BIO
added, for any quantity less than fifty copies.
For fifty copies to ono address I'll W
For 100 do. do. 70 90

the Executive Committee, who have received ample
assurances of literary aid from not few of the abes
and most eminent writers in tho temperance ranks
throughout the Union.
The work will be stercstyped, and back numbers
be supplied to subscribers at any time during
the year.
