their own hands. A little courage and ener-
gy would soon change the face of things.
Let them rise in their might and resolve,
that they win no longer bow their necks to
the iron rule Of party. Let them ignore the
infdel sentiment principles not men," For
what can the principles of a candidate be
worth, who is destitute Of principle? Sach
candidates have serea principles, and but Sec
en-, l. c. "the FIVE loaves and the two fishes"
Political or moral principles are nothing in
their estimation, if selfcan succeed Let the
free, v~irtuous and intelligent citizens of this
land, determine firmly, at all hazards, to vote
for no man, but a man of sound principle, of
entire reliability, who will not treat or do any
other unlawful or wiched thing to secure his
election. Let them see to it, that none others
are nominated, and this r%uinous, damning
evil will be banished from the land. For us,
we will never cast q vote while life lasts, if
we canno find a candidate of sound moral
principle, who will not set his face as a flint
against treating or any and all species of
political trickery, for the mere purpose of sue
cess. Who will stand up with us on this
platform? Ifitsink, we will go down with it.

ETY. Of character, great prudence, patience nj
perseverance will be necessary. Industry
and energy are indispensable; above all have
a heart deeply imbued with the Importance
of the work, and in humble dependence on
Divine Providence, prosecute it with zeal and
fidelity. With this you many hope for great
good as the result of your labors; good to
others and good to yourself; good to your
State and to suffering humanity good which
you may see and rejoice in on earth, and good
you may never know here, but which will
fill your heart with everlasting joy in the
world to come. The Colportage enterprise
may be made a most important agency in
r%escuing our fellow-eitizens from the thral-
dom of the rum-demon and the terrible curse
of intemperance.
All applications for the appointment Of
Colporteurs, and for books and tracts, and
monthly reports should be addressed to
