~ tie EDITOR Of The Coic3o"iam
DEAR Sm;-I have just closed my term Of
lccturing in Essex County. Allow me to soy
that have been pleased in most respects with
my visit TO the County. have visited the
various points where audiences could be Sc
cured, and Rcturcd thirteen times. At one
place the notice of my lecture was not given
out,and at one other, a scycre storm prevented
the audience assembling. As q general thing
| have had a very good attendance consider.
ipg the population, which, as YOU know is
quite small in some towns. | found very
good temperance element at Concord, Lun-
enburgh, Bloomfield and Gronbyi and some
very warm temperance men at every place
visited. At East Haven, town containing
only about on, hundred aud fifty inhabitants,
We had a general rally, They crammed n
school house to Overlooking. The audience
numbered not less tban half of all the per-
sors in the town. 1t vas new thing to them,
and hence all classes of their ciG1cus were
present, which was different from most places
where but few if any but temperance people
are willing to hear temperance lecture. !
found an increasing disposition with the friends
of the cause TO wake up and labor for the
triumph of the cause found temperance
societies at nearly every point. In some to'rns
intcmpcrnnce has strong hold. Unfortu.
nptcly for the cause, for few years past the
enemies fthc cause have succecdcdin clcctng
antitempcrancc commissioners, who have APP
pointed advocates, or lovers of rum, or both,
who have in some towns opened regular rum
+tlepots and sold without discrimination, being
the fruitful source Of vice in towns where lit
| tie or none was sold before the law provided
for agencies. They have been permitted to
| go on,-the public sentiment sustaining them
! in their illegal and mischeyous work. Con-
trary TO the design Of the law, these agents
have been permitted to put the profits on
their liquors into their own pockets, thereby
/ tempting them to increase their sales to q
great extent. These facts have served to dis
hearten temperance men, and tempted SOME
to believe that our law is doing no good, but
an evil as it introduces rum shop into pla
ccs where there might not have been any bu
for agencies, / have invariably cndeavorct
to sustain the law, and urged It's enforcement
The friends of the cause are encouraged t,
hope fur better things. They have succeeded
in elcoting their candidate for commissions
the ensuing year Still the County will suf
fer largely from the rum shops on the New
Hampshire and Canada sides, from which
tide Of ruinous liquor is constantly flowing
into the County.
