LOCAL OPTION.
An Explanation From the Leader OF
the Movement.
- - H--n-am0ma

An ExsIaDadOn From the Leader OF
the Movement
To the Union aud American;
The report of the Temperance meeting
of last night in your issue of this morning,
is quite accurate and interesting. Never
theless, fearing that your readers may,
from the absence Of so many pastors and
church members, draw differences too In
favorable to them and the reform we seek,
beg the opportunity to state that, although
have, during the past four months, talked
with some two hundred ministers and adj
dressed far more than 50 many thousand
church members, not one has failed to
manifest a desire for the Local Option Law.
Since the veto of that bill two years ago,
and the increasing evils Of strong drink,
manv-far too many-have become dis
coursged; so that inclement weather could
turn their almost balanced miads against
coming to e the struggle. This, be
assured, and not lack Of desire for the
passage Of the law, sept away so many who
Should have been there. w. PERKINS.
