band ourselves together for the following
specifcpurposey: Gospel missionaI work,
to the inebriate the liquor seller, the
poor and the neglected masses hitherto
unreachcd; the creation of universal
moral sentiment in favor of temperance
and sobriety, and against the selling and
drinking of intoxicating liquors as
beverage; the impression upon the youth
of our day of the criminal guilt Of thus
selling, and the fatal danger as well rs
guilt of thus drinking such liquors; the
incubation of positive sentiments and
principles against both. rs a preparation
for the temptations and responsibilities
of their future manhood; resistance to
the encroachmentS of the liquor traffic in
every way which law-abiding christian
women may appropriately and justly do.
No"Let up" Until Victory.

TuE carpet-baggers have carried their
point. II was to be hoped that GRANTS
refusal TO interfere in State matters upon
the demand of AMEs, Of Mississippi, indi-
Gated that he had learned lesson from
his former Louisiana efforts at imperial
ism. and would hcnccfOrth desist from
such movements. But the combination
against him Was too strong. WILLIAMS,
the Attorncy-General who rides
in his laundalet, backed up
by Radical delegation from
Louisiana, assisted by PATTERSON OF
Pennsylvania, land Senator from South
CaroIinia,) who is rivaling even MOSES
in that unhappy state, have called upon
him. and demanded that United States
troops hr sent to the South to interfere in
government of certain States. By all
