That the use of intoxicating drinks is in

jails and jailers-with proposals of amend
ment from the committee, allowing two

ures as our wis loin may dictate to sup
press this evil.
Should it be said thU we have over
stepped the houuds of female propriety in
thus addressing you on this subject, we
ask in reply, have w-e no interest in the
preservation of those institutions of society
which are the glory of our land, and which
intemperance assuredly will subvert?
Shall we not be permhted to lift up our
voices to the constituted guardians of pub
lic virtue, happiness, r.nd morals, an be
seech them to stay the progress of an evil
which is yearly sweeping away thousands
of husbands, brothers and sons? Shall
we sit in unconcerned si'erce while a vice
is abroad which destroys domestic peace
and happiness? Shall we be idle specta
tors while our husbands and sons are gir
ding on the harness r.ncl addressing them
selves to the work of t'drt1 ng our land from
a more desperate and destructive foe than
our fathers of the Revolution were called
to meet? So thought not the honored
matrons of the Revolution. They felt
that all th-.-ir interests were at stake in a
confJitt "vMle their husbands and sons
were fighting for their )ives and fortunes,
and to protect thefr domestic. firesiuCS from
a ruthless foe. They nobly seconded their
efforts, and posterity has sanctioned their
course.
While, therefore, we cheerfully leava
to the constituted legislators of our State
the task of deciding what measures shall
be taken, we cannot refrain from lifting
up our voices in their enrs. with the ear
nest prayer that th.-y will do tometkinj
to arrest this evil in our State. Set the
glorious example of refusing to license so
enormous an evil as thesle of intoxicating
drinks, and your children will rise up and
call you blessed.
