Six months ago, small number Of gcn>

temporarily ia society designed to constI<
tue the nucleus of 4 permanent temperance
organization for the tow" Nf NcWbcrTy, and
if possible, for the whole County. Contrary
to our hopes, however, but few names have
been added 70 our roll and of these persons,
and the original signers Of the pledge, so
large proportion have become d!shcar:cned
hy our ill>success, as TO have ceased 10 exert
themselves for the promotion Of the cause OF
! temperance, and even 10 attend the meetings
Of our body. And not without cause: for
not only have we failed to reclaim those ad-
! dictcd 10 the unfortunate vice of excessive
drinking, but VIC have failed to secure even
! The NAMES Of those who did or should SYM
pathze with us, much more their advocacy
and personal influence.
! 1t may be, that We have been thus aban-
| doned to our own resources, by reason of Il
| public belief that VIC were secret and cxclu~
| svc in our organization, or indeed by reason
of public ignorance of the whole matter
In order to silence such !op:nions-to show
to the people that VIC desire every one to
| unite with US, and to bespcak the aid Of all,
whether old or young, lofty or lowly, male
or female, influential or uninfueatial, VIC take
this occasion to declare, that we have
! pledged ourselves to total abstinence from

cschcwing the most fatal practice of the age,
| that we call npon those who are not subject
to the vice to enroll themselves with us and
! give Us their assistance, in whatever mans
ucr they can, in rescuing others, and pro-
noting this great reform.
It is useless to dcplorc the evils Of the day,
without endeavoring TO remove them; it is
useless to CRY "wcll douc!" for US, without
helping US; it is useless to seek excuse for
id!encss in the want Of public influence and

We trust that this feeble cry for help shall
not prove in vajn, but that the citizens OF
this place who sympathizc with the cause Of

was done, it vas the worst thing that the

them cry out from lungs which seemed
inflated by bellows from the regions Of
darkness -"nevcr see such night in

tone of this loud.moutted fel!ow--it was
an indescribable howl. 1t reminded US
of the tale of pandcmonium, an d
seemed to tell Of woe, woe. But we
have said enough of this. We trust
there will be no more repctitions, that
