Rev. L. J. FLETCHER.
The following are the resolutions adopt.
cd by the Convention:
Resolved, That rs the representatives Of
the temperance people Of Maine, m Con.
yention assembled, we affirm our incom.
promising adherence to the principle Of pro-
hibtion which has become the settled pol.
icy of the State, and we pledge ourselves
to resist, by all other means, and especially
ut the hallot-box any attempt to open the
food gates of DECENTRALIZATION, misery and
crime, by return to the license system.
Resolved. That the amendment Of the act
Of 1858. mtifed by the people Of the State
and bearing all the moral force Of constt.
utional provision, has made the prohibitory
law efficient beyond our expectations, and
cannot DO essentially modified or repealed
without disturbing the baisis Of our prohibi.
tory legislation.
Re olped, That while we do not claim
that the Constabulary Act OF 1867 Is per.
feet in all its parts. we are thus far more
than satisfied with the experiment Of that
law and pre prepared to stand by the prin.
ciples on which It rests.
Resolved, That we recognize the law na
only an auxiliary In the temperance reform
that the greatest and most permanent results,
with the blessing Of God, must come from
proper moral restraints and the general in
culcation Of the principles Of total absti'
nence, by prcccpt and example.
