DAILY NATIONAL ERA.
PROSPECTUS on The PROHIBIYIOSISr

If amy State deems tho retail and internal traffic
IN ardent spirits injurious its citizens and calcu-
lated to produce dencss, vice. or debauchery, see
nothing in the Constitution of the United States to
prevent II from regulating restraining tho trahc
or from prohibiting It altogether If it thinks proper
Chit Justice Iansy.
ON or before the LIST of January, 1854, the Execu-
~ tive Committee of the New York State Temper
rance Society will issue the first number OF Month

IRIS OBJEcT.-To advocate the Cause of Temper
ance generally and especially the Legislative Prohba
ton OF the Trafc in Intoxicating Beverages 10 pre-
pare the minds of the masses for such Prohibition by
showing its cxpedicncy and Necessity and to secure
by all the influence it may legitimately exert, tho
vigorous enforcement Of Prohibitory Laws when OBJ
tanned.
Irs FIELD--Dealng 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 Naftona
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 see
the Principle Of Prohibition established in State after
State till II becomes the recognised policy OF the Ma
ton. 1t Is our ambition to bear part IN TINS great
work. and to this end THE PRoHIBlTIOrIsT is estab-
lished not the organ Of society merely, but OF
GREAT RRFoRMAToRY MOVEMENT
IRIS NEcEssITy.--The existing Temperance Jour
nails have ltte if any circulation outside OF the lem
porance Ranks. Their price almost necessarily rc
strcts them to the friends of tho causc. LIE Pro

tracts among the Indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put at price SO low MS to enable
the friends Of temperance in every school district by
