South-eastern Independent. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1871-1871, 1871-08-04
Platform of I'll National Pro-
bibitfOn Party.

Ader:ed at the Chicago Conrention, Sepfr.
2, 1869.
WHEREAS, Protection and allegiance are
reciprocal duties, and every citizen
who yields obedience to the Just COM
mands of his government is entitled
to the full, complete and perfect pro-
lection of that government in the en-
joyment of personal security, person
al liberty, and private property, and
WHEREAs, The traffic in intoxicating
drinks greatly impairs the personal
security and personal liberty oflarge
masses of citizens, and renders pri~
vate property insecure, and
WHEREAS, The existing parties are
hopelessly unwilling to adopt an adj
cquate policy on this question, there
fore we, in national convention as
sembled, as citizens of this free re-
public, sharing in the duties and re-
sponsibilities of its government, in
the discharge of a solemn dirty we
owe TO our country and Z race,
unite in the following declaration of
principles
l. That while we acknowledge the
pure patriotism and profound states
lnanship of those patriots who laid
broad and deep the foundations ofthis
government, securing at once the
rights of the States severally and their
inseparable union by the Federal Con-
stitution, we would not merely garnish
the sepulchers of our republican faith
ers, but we do hereby renew u sol
emn pledge of fealty to the Imperish-
able principles of civil and religious
liberty embodied in the Declaration of
American Independence and or Fed
eral Constitution.
2. That the traffic in Intoxicating
beverages is a dishonor to christian
civilization, inimical TO the best inter
ests of society, a political wrong of UNI
equaled enormIiy. subyersive of the
ordinary objects of government, not
capable of being regulated or restrain
ed by any system of license whatever,
but imperatively demanding for its
suppression effective legal prohibition
both by State and National Legisla>
ton.
3. That in view of this. and inasmuch
as the existing political parties either
oppose or ignore this great and para
mount question, and absolutely refuse
to DO anything toward the suppression
of the rum traffic, which is robbing the
nation of its brightest intellects, des-
troying its material prosperity, and ra-
pidly undermining its very founda-
tions, we are driven by an imperative
sense of duty to sever our connection
with these political parties, and to or
ganize ourselves into National Prohi-
bition Party, having for its primary
object the entire suppression of the
traffic in intoxicating drinks.
4. That while we adopt the name Of
the National Prohibition I'arty, as ex
pressive of our primary object, and
while we. denounce all Reputation o.
the public debt, and pledge fidelity tC
the principles of the Declaration ofIn
dependence and the Federal Constitu
ton, we deem it inexpedient to give
prominence to other political issues.
5. That a Central Executive Commit
tee of one from each State and Terri
tory and the District of Columbia, bt
appointed by the Chair. whose duty i
shall be to take such action as in theil
judgment will best promote the in
terests of the party.

WHO WILL Be THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR p
This question is the a~ll>absorbing
topic among the Republican wire
puIlers hereabeut. II is conceded
that Morgan County is entitled to
the nomination, and we e that
there nrs air e two candidates
IN :he field from this CountY-Dr.
Phillip Kennedy, of Deaver:ewn,
and Elias Bundy, of Marion Towns
ship.
1t is a very easy matter &c see
which of these two men will receive
the majority ofthe Morgan County
vote in the Convention. Kennedy
is the Court House Ring candidate,
and the Ring Is moving everything
TO secure his nomination. Bundy
is a good man, but he stands very
little chance of receiving more than
q complimentary vote from this
County. The Ring governs every
thing here, and Bundy will find he
will have to pay Il more attention
in order to succeed in getting i
nomination in this District.
There is one thing. however, that
is operating against Kennedy. lie
and Hon. W. P. Sprague were OPP
posing candidates from this County
before the last Republican Senate
rial Convention in this District
and it vas agreed. so the story
goes, that the L that showed the
most strength in the Morgan Coun
ty caucus, should have the full vote
of the County in the Convention
The caucus vote was taken and
Sprague got fourteen votes to elevez
fer Kennedy. Notwithstanding
this decision eff The caucus, and the
agreement made beforehand, Ken,
nedy would not allow Sprague tC
have the full vote of the County
and consequently R. III. StImson. o
Marietta, was nominated. Thi:
sticks IN the minds of many Repub.
licans, and is operating againsi
Kennedy to a great extent; but still
as the Ring has taken him up and
Is ~exerting Its full power IN his ia
vor, we predict that he will be the
sominee il Washington County
does not take the matter in bel
own hands, as she has the power tC
DO, and re-nomInate Stimsen.

OHIO, July 29th, 1871.
EDITOR INDEPENDENT:-The usu-
al sleepy hollow aspect of this
place was broken In upon to-day,
at an early hour, by the assemb-
ling of quite a crowd of'faIr wo
men ard brave men, who rame in
obedience TO a cal of the 1. o. G.
rs for the purpose of consulting
together as to the best means of ad-
vanc.ng the aus of temperance.
On visiting the scene, ohe was for
chilly reminded of the once familiar
operation of gong INTO camp,
s'The banners foated IN the breeze,
And bands bravemusic poured"
The weather was such as we
might imagine was gotten up for
the occasion. Light. floating clouds
yelled The dazzling brightness OF
the sun without giving The scene a
sombre aspect.
II would be difficult 10 find q
mere respectable crowd than that
collected here. Aged men, laying
aside there cares were here smiling
and happy; stout, rugged %tiIlers.
with iheir careful spouses and beau.
tiful daughters, ana steady sons
were here; the merchant laying
aside bis yard stick, and tie me-

ed, were here; young men and mas
dens, radiant with health snd hap
piness, and decked with the regalia
of the L. o. G. T., were here. II
short il was a scene,
"where wife and friends laugh merrily,
Without the aid of wine"
The object of The meeting wal
briefly stated by a member of thu
Lodge, after which q most eloquen
and appropriate address was deliv-
cred by the Rev. Mr.. Ridge of thu
Christian Church. The echos o
that speech will thrill the hearts O
the hearers
while life. or thought. or being last,
Or Immortality endures."
Strong men, men who with un
faltering steps, with unquaIIing eye
with unfailIng purpose, and witt
dauntless courage, had faced tn

He was followed by Rev. J. Q

lectures. The speeches occupied
nearly the entlre day, and yet Their
was very little evidence of fatigu.

The place Hibler has re fitted was
formerly the Stephen Miller beers

is doing the same thing, and the es-

that dyspepsia is perhaps the most u%niver-
sal of human diseases. This is EMPHATIC

character of the food, the method Of its

it is usually swallowed, is not our province

DEFENSIVE MEDICATION,

Investigation Is as necessary for the pro
lection of the human body against disease
when unhealthy influences are abroad, as
iron arunor and granite easements are FOR
the protection. of ships and fortresses when
assailed by shot and shell. Hence it is
desirable when those potent enemies of
vitality, damp and cold, pervade the air
we breathe, To put the system in the best
possible condition to encounter them.
The stomach is the organ by which every
other organ is nourished and sustained,
and therefore upon its vigorous and regu-
lar action depends, in great measure,
the capacity of the system to resist the
assaults Of the invisible enemies of health
and, by which, at this Indictment season,
IL 10 surrounded. Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters. an admirable tonic and regulating
medicine for all seasons, is never lmore
needed than In winter. when the torpify-
ing influence ofa chilly atmosphere eff.
eCts all the vital functions, and renders
the body extremely SUSCEPTIBLE. By ton
ing the digestive organs, and the liver
and the bowels with this unequalled veg
etabl6 specific, physical condition II
attained which seems to be proof against
all varieties of temperature, and that is
inimical in the air of winter. Defensive
medication il q precaCtion which should
never be neglected when danger Ia pres
emit, and therefore a course OF the Bitters
at this season ia particularly desirable,
especially for the feeble and sickly. As q
remedy for billlousness, dyspepsia, ner-
vousness. and howell complaints, there is
nothing comparable to this wholesome
reOtOy alive.
