Friends and Ncighbors:
Grateful for liberal encouragement re-
ceived from you, and having supplied my
Shop and Tavern with new and ample
lot of choice Wines, Spirits and Malt Liq-
uors, / thankfully inform you that ! will
continue to make drunkards, paupers and
beggars, for the sober, industrious and
respectable community to support. My
liquors may excite you to riot, robbery,
and blood, and will certainly diminish
your comforts, augment your expenses,
aud shorten your lives. i confidently
recommend them as sure to multiply ia
tai accidents and distressing diseases, and
likely to render these incurable. They
will agreeably deprive some of life, some
of reason, many of character and all of
peace-will make fathers fends, wives
widows, mothers cruel, children orphans,
aud all poor. will train the young to
ignorance, dissipation, infidelity, lewd-
ness, and every vice-corrupt ministers
of religion-obstruct the gospel-defle
the church, and cause as much temporal
and erternal death as / can.
l will accommodate the public it
may be at the cost of my never-dying
soul. have family to support-the
trade pays-and the public encourages it.
| have charter from my Minister and
license from the Magistrate, my traffic is
lawful; Christians countenace it; and if
| do not bring theseevils upon you some
body else will. | know the Bible says
Thou shalt not kill" pronouncesa "woe
unto him that giveth his neighbor drink,
and enjoins me not to put stumbling
block in brothers way | also read,
that "no drunkard shall inherit the king
dom of God" and cannot expect the
drunkard-maker, without repentance, to
share better fate but l wish lazy
living, and have deliberately resolved tn
iyther th@-wgesof 'iiiquity, and fatten
on the ruin Of my species. lshall there
fore carry on my trade with energy, and
do my best to diminish the wealth of the
nation, impair the health of the people,
and endanger the safety of the State.
As my traffic hourishes in proportion to
your ignorance and sensuality, | will do
my utmost to prevent your intellectual
elevation, moral purity, social happiness
and eternal welfare.
Should you doubt my ability, refer
you to the pawn-shop, the poor-house.
the police-otiice, the hospital, the jail, and
hegallows where so many of my custom
ers have gone. The sight of them will
satisfy you that | do what | promise.

p. SIT is not absolutely necessary,
but the wives and mothers of the coun-
try are expected to aid me in my laudi-
BILE work, by cultivating the tastes of
their husbands and children, by keeping
an abundant supply of pure sweet native
wines in their houses, accessible at all
times to the younger portion of the fam
lily.
p. p S.-If any one incroaches on my
lawful right to prosecute my avocation,
| warn them that thehonorable members
Of my State Legislature, with few in
significant exceptions, are my co-work-
ers, as the wise statute provisions fully
attest.
nm. N.B.-The patronage of the secular
press is especially desirable.
