Committee on Resolutions reported the follow

RESOLVED, That this Society do earnestly re-
commend the immediate organization of town
and schools-district Temperance Societies throuh-
out the county, for the general and more efectu-
al application of the principle of moral suasion,
particularly in preserving the Young from the
evils of intemperance and also to awaken a
more lively sense, among temperance people of
the importance of securing a thorough tenn
perance County Commissioner at the election in
March.
Resolued, That the cause of temperance. and
the public good demands more rigid enforcement
of the Liquor law of this State; and that tenn
perance men'are greatly in fault for the manifest
want of interest in this matter.
Resolved That Committee of five for each
town in the County, be appointed by this meet
ing, whose duty it shall be to take notice of vio-
lations of the law, and bring the same before the
proper prosecuting officers and to take such
other measures, in the forming of Temperance
Societies, and in promoting the cause of Tenn
perance in general, as they may think proper
Resoloed That one great necessity in the
present aspect of the temperance cause, is more
vigilance and moral courage on the past of Tenn
perance men.
,tsrResotUed, That general circulation of an
able safe and reliable Temperance News Paper,
would very much aid the cause of Temperance
in Lamoile County and as, in our opinion, the
journal Of the American Temperance Union is
such Paper, we would cordially recommend its
patronage to all Temperance men.
Resotoed, That it is the duty of every Tenn
perance Freeman to do all in his power, at all
times, but especially on election day, to promote
the cause of Temperance by his words, his &C.
tons and his vote, and that he should m axe it a
tenet In his Creed, to support Temperance men,
and such only for the offices of Commissioner,
Selectmen, States Attorney, Representatives and
Justices of the Peace.

due, and are hereby rendered to R. L. Perkins
