Resolre1. That we rejoice in the evi
dencc furnished of the continued proSperi
ty of the temperance cause in the county
of Caledonia, and thereby see the utility
of this county organization and also o
town organizations, when and where eff
GENTLY maintained.
Resolod, That our prohibitory Jaw
needs only to be enforced to secure its pop
ularity.
Peso7red, That all temperance mel
should heartily sustain the executive Off
GERS of the law in their efforts to enforc,
it.
Resolred, That however great may be tin
qualifications of any candidate for popula
suffrage, if his example conflicts with tn
progress of temperance, it is the impera
tive duty of all true friends of the caus
to withhold from him ballots and Civ
them for those by whom temperance shall
be honored and advanced.
Re~hpd, That while we believe thu
clergymen of the county are ready at al
times to stand forth the friends Of tn
temperance cause, and do often preacl
thereupon, they are still respectively re
quested to continue to do so and earnestly
urge its claims upon all under their infu
ence.
Whereas, rs friends of temperance W
should be willing to encourage any an,
every laudablc effort for the suppression O
the sale and use of Intoxicating drinks
therefore,
| Reso7red, That the organization of Goo,
Templars, IN our opinion, is the most eff
cient means to that end now in operation
and Is worthy the confidence and supper
of every friend of temperance.
Resol,ed, That we endeavor to show OIL
temperance strength by the vote that shall
be cast at our several town meetings fo
our county commissioner.
Rcsolycd, That we tender the thanks 0
this society to the citizens of Barnet 70
their generous hospitality, and to the choi
for the excellent music furnished for tn
occasion.
The committee to nominate county com
missioner presented the name Of JOIN
Morse of St. Johnsbury. Voted to ad
