AN HONEST RUMSELLER'S
ADVERTISEMENTS.

AOVERTISEMEN
Friends and Neighbors Grateful
for the liberal encouragement received
from you, and having supplied my shop
and tavern with a new and ample stock
of choice wines, spirits, and malt liquors,
l thankfully inform you that continue
to make drunkards, paupers and beg
CARS for the sober, industrious and re-
spectacle community to support. My
liquor may incite you to riot, robbery
and blood, and will certainly diminish
your comfort, augment your expenses.
and shorten your lives.
confidently recommend them as sure
to multiply fatal accidents and distress
ing 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, and all
poor. will train the young to igno-
rance, dissipation, infdelity, lewdness.
and every vice. corrupt the ministers of
religion, obstruct the Gospel, defile the
church and cause as much temporal and
eternal death as 1 can. l will also sac
comodate the public. 1T may be at
the cost of my never-dying soul. [
have family to support, the trade
pays, and the public encourage it. l
have character from nsy minister, and
a license from the magistrate. My
traffic is lawful. Some Christians coun-
tenance 1t, and if l do not bring these
evils upon you, somebody else will. l
know the Bible says, "Thou shalt not
KILL" pronounces a "Woe upon
him that giveth his brother drink"
and enjoins me not to ''put stumbling
block in brothers way" I also read
that "No drunkard shall inherit the
kingdom of God" and l cannot expect
the drunkard-maker, thoutrepentance,
to share better fate; but l wish a
lazy living, and have deliberately re-
solved to gather the wages of inlquity,
and fatten on the ruin of my species !!
shall, therefore, 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 -four
ishes in proportion to your ignorance
and sensualitY, l refer you to the pawn
shop, the poOrhouse, the police court,
the hospital, the Jail and the gallows,
where SO many of my customers have
gone. The sight of them will satisfy
you that l do what 1 promise. l teach
old and young to drink, and charge only
for materials. A very few lessons will
be sufficient.
1t is true, the sacred Scriptures teach
that rulers should not drink wine mol
strong drink, "Lest they drink. and
forget the law, and pervert the judg.
ment of any," But will make sena.
tors and statesmen sots, and so influence
the legislation of the whole country a:
to thoroughly legalize my business
Moreover, belong to the association
which has declared By resolution tt
support no man for any Office who il
not opposed to all temperance and al
Sunday laws" Gods law is nothing
to me when it stands in the way of my
business. 1t is my intention to have
all the caucuses, conventions, anc
elections held at my saloon, so tina
respectable people will not attend the
primary political meetings. Drunkard'
and license men will thereby be nomi
mated for all the important Offices, an(
ministers and all Christian men will b,
compelled to come to my den and vot'
for them. By this means l shall ais
so far keep control of the secular press
as to prevent political editors from do.
ing me any harm, and even make i
necessary for good people to sustain
such journals, because they are organ
of political parties. Yours, in friend
ship and truth, JUDAS HEARTLEss.
