Maine state Temperance Alliance.

The undersigned unite in calling meeting of the
friends of Temperance in Maine, to be held in
City Hail. Lewiston, "Wednesday lat O'Clock
?. n.y. and thursday, Feb. 2fst and 22nd,
She object being the organization of STATE TEN
pERANcE ALLIANCE. in which shall be united all
the moral and religious elements Of society in an
sotive and well directed war against Intemperance
Regarding lntemperance as the destroyer of wealth
character, health and happiness, and as the enemy
OF the Republic and the Church of Christ, we call
upon the citizens of Maine, regardless of political
or religious affiliations, to attend this netting par
teipate in its deliberations and then unite their
hands and hearts to crush out this great evil.
An amendment to our State Constitution will,
doubtless soon be submitted to the people, and we
must prepare for the coming conflict It is a time
for counsel, for earnest prayer and united action
This meeting is not called in the interest Of any
party set of men, will it be made the ms tru
ment of any party; but forgetting everything that
divides US in other directions, let us come together
as citizens anxious to advance the moral interests
aud preserve the good name of our State and Coun-
try and let Us organize for campaign in which ev-
cry good citizen and Christian should unite.
The usual reduction of fares by The railroads may
be expected.
