 1 will, in short, do all in my power i to cover the land with crime, sickness, insanity, indolence, poverty and wretch edness; and do it all at the peril of my Sn soul Should any be so impertinen' as to inquire why 1 have the audacity to bring such accumulated misery on a comparatively happy people, my honest reply is, have d family to supp ,rt; tht liquor traffic Is most lucrative and tht community most ready to enc ournge it. 1 have charter from my minister anc n license from my town couacil; my traffic is made most honorable ly tn, law; protesting Christians give theit most cheerful countenance And if do not bring these evils upon you, some one else will. li.e in Il Ind of liberty and l have purchased n right to de molish the character, destroy the health and ruin the lives and souls of thos' who honor me with their custom. know the bible says "Thou shalt no kill" That it pronounces "Woe to hin that siveth his neighbor drink" Tha it enjOins me not to put a stumbling block in my neighbours way. l ais read in the sane divine record tbat" IN drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom o Heaven" And 1 can't expect tn drunkard maker to share better ,fatt , yet must have money. l am oblige I to acknowledge that Gods name is aW fully blasphemed, and his kingdom we l fully retarded by the very liquors b B which live. For while l ain askin God to give me bread, l am selling tn most deadly poiSons. And although I am protesting Christian and know ought to love my neightor as mysel e and if seek not his salvation 1 ca e have no hope of my own, yet as l cal s not maintain my family without makir
 drunkards, paupers, widows and orphan
 I have, therefore, no alternative but n gather up the wages of iniquity an y fatten on the ruin of my species.
 I shall, therefore, on Saturday ne'
 commence, with renewed energy,
 trade which will increase the taxes F. the community, demolish the wealth l. the nanion, impair the health of u
 people, and endanger the safety of u
 state.
 Il As my traffic can only flourish ;, ;, proportion to the increase of ignoran' ' and sensuality, l will do my utmost ,- counteract all means to promote iut'
 lectual elevation, the moral purity, t s, social happiness and the eternal WI
 fare of ID m,nkind. Should any fe e. disposed to doubt my ability to Achie
 those numerous and noble Q objects, 1T 1T beg leave to refer them to the poorhou' n hospital, jail, penitentiary and galloN or where tbs most satisfactory intoru
