RESOLUTIONS OF THE STATE TEMPERANCE
CONFERENCE.-The following are the principal
resolutions adopted by the Temperance Conven-
ton at Augusta, Thursday:
R solved, That while we rejoice and take
courage In view OF the progress that has been
made in the temperance movement in the past,
we should not be Indifferent to the fact that the
| traffic in and use of intoxicating LIQUORS ia nre
valiing 10 an alarming extent in our State, es-
pecialy in many of our larger towns and cities.
| The crimes which result from this practice and
| degeneracv of morals on the part of the youno
| is truly alarming, and calls for united and eff
| Gent action on the part of every man to stay
| this tide OF evil which is sweeping over our
| State.
Resolved, That the reaction which is taking
place is owing in great measure to the ipdif-
ference and inactivity of the churches, and Of
men Of position and influence; and consequent
| ly there is not demand for the enforcement of
The law upou the subject. Neither is there
that moral power il. the community which
| would render tipping unpopular and encour-
age and aid our youth in maintaining habits of
sobriety. VS. also believe that the change in
the law last winter, which allows the indiscrim
mate manufacture aud sale of domestic wine
and cider, contributes largely to produce the re-
suit above alluded to.
Resolved, That we urge upon the citizens of
the several towns and cities of the State ire
spective of sects or parties, to Immediately take
action for the suppression of this evil; and we
especially demand of the churches, in view of
their high and holy calling, to arouse them
selves to consideration of the enormity of the
evils of intemperance, and that they take that
action which they have the power to take, to
stay this mighty evil.
Resolved, That we recommend the appoint-
men of committee from this convention tn
consult with a committee already appointed nv
the Grand Lodge of Good Tempiars to request
of the Legislature now in session so to amend
manufacture and sale of wine and cider for tip
ping purposes.
Resolved, That no motives of political exped-
iency, of partzan interest, or pers. nal friend
ship, shall induce us to give our votes for any
man for any Office in the gift of the people,
where that Office will influence this subject,
who is not a total abstainer or who will not 20

The Senators seemed to take life more easily
than the Representatives, and came str0lllng

of the House; and the pleasant greetings of
Senators Burgess Goold and Col. Dow, made
Us feel quite at home-notwithstanding the
trepd alton we felt lest the omniscient eyes of

Gen. Fessenden, who sat four or five seats in
front of us; still more so when the gentleman
from Portland, who sat in front of the Speak

which he cultivates while tarrying at Jerlche,

us, while his handsome seat-mAte looked fur"

Most of the gentlemen in the House were
evidently MAI red men-I am sorry to record
this fact, and may be wrong, but there was a
meek subdued, coued expression on their faces
and in their general aspect, that could be ac-

spectacles rested on one who might be mar
