 NEW PRESTON, Aug. 27th.
 MIR. EDITOR Dear Sir-As my name ap- peared in your last issue, in connection with Daniel W. Patterson, and Joseph H. Bennett, as Committee on Resolutions, without my consent or knowledge, deem it due to myself and friends, to say that I had no hand or heart in them, l perslstently refused to act, and was formally ex- cused by a vote of the meeting, declared to be so excused by the moderator. and another was cho- sen, who likewise declined, and was excused i; when motion was made and carried that said Committee consist of two individuals instead of three, viz D. w. Patterson and Joseph H. Ben nett.
 With what grace or honesty, those who were so jealous for the suppression of all manner of deceit and hypocrisy, islander and defamation, backbiting and evil speaking, hatred. malice, and all uncharitableness, that may tend to defraud our neighbor either of his property or character have thus put me forth before the community in a false position, I leave for discriminating pub lie to judge.
 I do not endorse those resolutions. Their tone and spirit are not at all congenial to me. am opposed to them because they slanderously reflect upon men of moral worth intelligence, and habits. I am opposed to them because they insinuate the clergy Q band of heretics,' and they also violate the sanctity of the Sabbath.
 am opposed to them because they attempt to fasten the derisive epithet, " contemptible sneak upon one of our most amiable and prom ising young men, who publicly declared the req sons why he called the meeting, before the Com mittee retired to draft the resolutions Well may he ask, where isyour apology for this abuse? do not agree with the statement, "that the use of intoxicating liquors is no more prevalent in this community to-day, than it has been for the past twenty years"
 am we'll satisfied there is double tEe quantity used. Intoxicating drinks are sold as bever- age in this community indiscriminatey both to the old and the young, the rich and the poor. the moderate and immoderate drinker witl lo t without any regard to morality. order or decency; in open violation of the statute law of this State; and contrary to the wish of large portion of this community. Rum has made it's impressions here it has fixed mark upon it's victim. We can read the traces of his burning fingers upon the features of many young man.
