marks, as follows
Mr. Atwater said he had long desired to look
in upon one Of these meetings, Of which he had
heard 80 much and with great satisfaction he
had read the reports, which have gone out
through all the land, Of what is being done for
the overthrow Of the rum power in the capital
Of cur State. lie gave history Of what had
been done By the friends Of temperance in Bur
lington for few months past. Rum is still
sold, as other offences arc committed, in def.
anco Of law, but the traffic is carried on under
greater ombarrassmonts than ever The hotel
keepers claim to have entirely dispensed with
their bars and if those who say this is not
true will furnish proof that intoxicating liquors
are kept for sale, or arc sold in any hotel or
other place in the city in violation Of law, the

mittee would probably be glad to pay a re-
ward for such proof properly given. The
friends Of temperance 10 Burlington, as in
other places, believe in religious and moral in
Aucnces. Wourgo the education Of the young,
and the spread Of knowledge among all the
people. We arc not afraid Of agitation Of the
subject. Office seekers and politicians may be
alarmed at these cOmmoii0ns, but they purify
the moral atmosphere The truth never SUI
iers by agitation We urge every method
which is known, or which can be devised 4,
consistent with honor and virtue, for rcscung
the victims Of intompeuncc, and for suppress
ing the sources Of temptation. We would not
trust in any one measure alone. We try to
save men by educational, moral, and religious
means but after thus roscuing the poor vic
tins Of appetite and temptation, we do not like
to have the keepers Of hotel bars, and other
grog-shops, again drag down TO hell those
whom VIC succeed in bringing so near heaven.
Hence we use the law where nothing else can
avail We also intend to bring our temper.
