To tho Temperance people Of Delaware

DELAWARE Crry, Dec. rs, 1867.
Dear Brethren Our surprise that you stand
aloof from the active conflict, Is equaled only by
our respect for your position and influence In So
ciety. We are conscious of our weakness and
inability to cope with so formidable foe as the
demon, Rum but we strive TO do the best we
can In the cause, hoping the Great Master will
open your why, and move your hearts to help rs.
Many Of your have been aforetlme leaders in the
Temperance army. We have heard your voices
of command to the marshaled columns when the
battle has been raging. Our young hearts were
thrilled at the exhibitions Of manly power and
SKILL as you led the way to many signal victories.
You know where nre the strpngholds of our
enemies, and the weakest points of their battle
line. You know how to infuse spirit and en-
thusiasm into the ranks when the desperate
charge on the enemies works. How greatly we
need oil this superior knowledge and experience,
In the temperance reform, we have not the lam
guage to tell. While we have an abiding convic-
ton that our cause is righteous, and will ultimate
ly prevail, we are also convinced the movement is
retarded by your indifference tosits claims. The
temperance millennium will be so much the
sooner ushered in, If we have the force of unity
of purpose and activity among the friends of the
cause. Your very presence and voice would in
spire our ranks with confidence, and strike our
foes with dlsmay.
