requested, and it is their duty, 10 encourage
and provide for the holding of public meet
ings in their respective townships, through
their Pastors. Churches, Sabbath Schools,
sSc, and to call out speakers for such occasions
and to recommend the total abstinence pledge
for sgners, and that each township report

Rcsolced, That we deem it of the first i'm
. portance, that the rising generation be care
fully instructed and guarded against tie evils
OF Inlemperance, and we earnestly recon-
mend that the subject should be brought to
the attention Ofthe Sabbath School Supern-
tendants and Teachers, with the request that
they cooperate with us in securing the

ReSolred That as the diffusion of sound
intelligence is essentially necessary in every
moral reform, VIC recommend to all tho
friends of Temperance the Leacle,, published
by j. III. Keatv, HoliGaysburg. Pa, the
Americaa Guor,iiaR. published in Phlade4
phia, and also the NatiQRgl IeMB,5anto Id
c0cate, and T0uth's Temperance Bdnner,
published at No. 1i2, William street, n. Y,
as an efficient means of prosecuting the work
! ReS0lred, That to the traffic of intoxicating
drinks under the present license system, may
! be traced thrCe-fOurths of the drunkenness
paupcrism, insanity, crimes ard casualties
of the country, and that against these evils as
a civil right, the people should be protected
by wholesome legislation, and that as IL
cense gives freedom and approves rcspecta-
bility to the traffic, and denies the proper
protection to the people, therefore it is the
| right and duty of the citizens of this Com
monwealth in sefdefence, by legislation and
all suitable means to bring such traffic 10 an
end.
Resolred, That it is inconsistent with the
| obligations of persons protesting christianity,
or as members Of any Temperance organize
lion TO manufacture, sell, or use ardent spirits
as beverage, 70 sign petitions for license,
or to rent their property to retail ardent
spirits, or in any way TO give countenance to
/ the traffic
! Reso'red, Tint the licensing Of acknow-
! ledged evils is wrong in morals and runious
| in legislation, that righteous law is potent
| instrument to create right public senti
ment, and that q bad law deprayes and cor
rupts public sentiment, consequently we can
never give our sanction TO law that licenses
the traffic in intoxicating drinks
| On motion the Convention adjourned to
meet in the same place at y o'clock in the
evening.
