meet with the success they merit, and wish
that the temperance people of our county
might render him more efficient support in

in his strongholds in the city of Portland,

mend the course and bid him God speed in
his work of destroying the rum power.

Resolve, That while we willingly and
| cheerfully bow to the inscrutable wisdom
