TUESDAY - ADDRESS BIT
AARON N. POWELL.

CONFERENCE TUESDAY - ADDRESS By
AARON N. POWELL.
A meeting Of the National Prohibition
Society Of Delaware was held Tuesday
afternoon at the Lyceum room on West
street, TO consider the subject Of temper
ance, at which were present number Of
the Society Of Friends and others. Though
about thirty clergymen had been invited,
but few responded. Those persons pres
emit, however, manifested a deep interest
In the subject.
Mr.. Aaron NJ. Powell read a lengthy
and elaborate paper on the subject of
temperance as a national issue, claiming
that In order to strike at the root OF the
evil it should DO made the object of
national legislation, at least, go far as the
Jurisdiction Of Congress extends, that Is,
in the District of Columbia and the Terri
tories, Also, urging strongly the adoption
of Senator Wilson's bill for a Congressional
Committee Of Investigation to Inquire into
the effect Of prohibitory law, where 1t has
Seen in operation, and obtain statistics on
the subject, and on the general effect Of
the use Of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage.
It was claimed that as Commissions Of
Inquiry are appointed on various other
questions. 20, with equal propdety, one
might be instituted on this, with the object
Of ascertainiug the real consequences Of
the use Of liquor, and whether, and to
what extent, II is an evil or a curse.
Mr. Worrell spoke Of the matter Of Con-
gressional action on the liquor question, as
regards the States, claiming that in them
Il has no power 10 interfere, and that 10
prohibiting its manufacture It would be
infringing on State rights and meddling
with the liberties Of the people, thus tend
| ing towards that Capitalization Of power
which should DO avoided In this country.
Mr.. Powell locked upon the manufac-
ture and sale Of liquor as a cause of crime,
and therefore &c subject for stringent
legislation, and though the public did not
yet regard II In such a light he thought
the moral sentiment Of the county
would become much more sensitive on this
question citing, by way OF proof, the
strides public opinion bad already made
on this subject.
The following resolutions were adopted
and ordered to be signed by the President
and Secretary Of the Association, Allen
Gawthrop and Emma Wore |, and
sent to the United States Senate and
House Of Representatives.
Resolved, That we heartily approve tn,
proposed Commission Of Inquiry concerning
introduced in the U. S. Senate By Hon. Henri
Wilson, and we urge Senators and Repre-
sentatives TO give It their united support
Resolved, That we also approve the pro
posed prohibition OF the liquor trAfho in IN,
Territories Of the United States and IN tn,
District Of Columbia, and we call upoi
Senators and Representatives TO pass thu
bill now pending for this object, before IN,
adjournment OF the present session OF Uon
Ersss.
