The temperance meeting at the Capitol last
Sunday afternoon was addressed by Prof KOst
of Michigan, and Senator Baker, of Nassau coun-
ty The former was announced to treat the sub

sirable consummation could be secured and
maintained only by stringent laws backed by
a public sentiment that demanded their enact
ment and would ensure their enforcement The

Persons who buy vegetables should exercise
due caution as to whom they patronizc. In or
der to protect their gardens from the depreda-
tons of thieves some persons have rcsorted to
the dangerous expedient of poisoning some OF
their vegetables Buyers of vegetables, there
FORE must protect themselves by purchasing only
from producers. 1t is not prudent or safe to pat
ronize every vender of vegetables The people
should refuse to patronze the promiscuous ven
ders OF vegetables, poultry, &c Such course
would put stop to much of the annoying petty
thieving practiced in this community. If rogues
know they cannot sell what is supposed to be
stolen, then they will only steal what they want
for their own use.

the affairs of the city They have conferred
with one another, delibcrated calmly and dis
passionalely upon the subject and enter into
this movement with the determination to pursue
their purpose and plans to successful termina-
ton. Let every taXpayer unite in this contest
for right and justice, and success is assured at
the outset. They are right in their purpose,
their cause is a just one, and justice must and
will prevail.
