BOSTON, August %, 1872.
Nobody cares this year what attitude the State
prohibitory party will assume in the ensuing elec
tion, and the proceedings In their Convention or
to-day were attended, therefore, with very little
interest Perhaps two hundred veterans, who
boast that they never drank glass OF intoxi-
eating liquor in their lives, and are, therefore,
best calculated to prescribe remedies for those no
are AFFLICTED with intemperance, assembled in the
Meiona0n this morning, and have been worrying
each other with words oil day. The leading spirits
IN the party were IN attendance at Worcester, and
who are for temperance and prohibition 1rst last
and always-sO long, at least as there is prospect
Some Of them, however, are really enthusiasts in
their work, and among them is the Rev. DIR. A. A.
tion The forenoon session was occupied In desul-
tory and sometimes sharp discussion as to the ex-
YEAR. Dr.. Wise believed the time would come when hen
the great masses would see the need OF the move
ment, and cutting loose from the old parties and
give their efforts to the noble cause. Many men
had stood in the dominant party and worked their
best to aid temperance but 300 shops ive years ago
and 5000 to-day was the commentary on their
course. The result OF canvass on our own basis
to-day would not be so satisfactory in view OF the
Presidential election, as in the two previous years.

question OF nomination or no nomination, and
one that affected the future. Whatever was done
to-day, let no man feel that he had surrendered
the cause OF prohibition. The party would remain
to do great work hereafter Sooner or later Mass
achusetts would see that her leadership in the ma
ton, her financial prosperity and her moral welfare
depended on the abolition Of the rum trade, and
then politicians who are wax, would mould them
selves to the will Of the people.
These remarks expressed the sentiment OF one
wing OF the Convention; but the general idea
seemed to be that avowed by Henry d. Cushing,
when he said that the Convention should make no
nomination for State ofcers, but throw the burden
OF enforcing the prohibitory law on the shoulders
ofthe republican party He believed that, sooner
or later, that party would be held responsible for
the evils of ntemperance in Massachusetts,. This
idea was finally endorsed by the C0nventon-40 to
33. The appointment OF q State Central Commit
tee, with Eiphalet 1rask, Of Springfield, as chair
man, was followed by the reading Of q series OF
resolutions depl0rtng the continuance OF the
traffic in rum, after which the Convention ad-
journed.
