TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE. -a
MRssRs EDIroRs l beg leave to be in.
dulged short space in your columns, to ena
BILE me to give my views to the sincere Temper
ance men of this county, in reference TO their
duty respecting the Portage County Temper
ance Alliance sf
At meeting of the Alliance at Edinburg,
and at its meeting in Streetsborough, made
some remarks in favor of disbanding the ALI
ance. These remarks we're not we'll received,
and as I think not understood by several wor-
thy, able and sincere members that were pres
ent. In consequence of this, was not per-
mitted TO develope my ideas fully on the sub
ject and, probably, this is the reason why my
views have been misunderstood and misrepre-
sented. We each occupy different stand
points we view things differently we should
have charity one for the other we should
hear each other patiently. My propositions
at Streetsborough, were four-fold, viz: LIST.
Disband the Alliance I'd. Reorganize Tenn.
perance Societies in each of the townships of
the County the test of membership being
the signing and adhering to pledge. Sd.
Making it the duty of the members of these
societies to stand by each other, in executing
the nresent T,emnerance law in the townships.
And 4th, to agitate and work for law sim
liar to tie Maine law, to regulate and prohibit
the manufacture of Intoxicating beverages, and
their Introduction into the State, as we'll as to
nrobibit and regulate their sale and use. fa
