prospectus op tiik prohibitionist.
" If any Statu dooms tho retail and internal traffic
in ardent spirit* injurious to its oitisens, and calcu
lated to produce idleness, vice, or debauchery, I soo
nothing ui tho Constitution of tho United States to
prevent it froui rogulating or restraining the traffic,
or from prohibiting it altogether, if it thinks proper.
v Chirf Justice Taiuy.
ON or beforo tho 1st of January, 1854, tho Execu
tive Committee of tho Now York State Tornper
rauce Society will issue the first number of a Month
ly Temperanco Journal, under the title ot " 1 he rao
HIBITIOKIST." ,
Irs Size.?It will be printed on a double medium
sheet, making oight quario pages, of four columns to
a page: and, excluding advertisement*, each number
will contain an amount of reading matter equal ttt
least to that furnished by our larger-sued daily jour
nals, or to that of an ordinary duodecimo volume ot
150 pases. _ ?
Its Object.?To advocate the Cause _ol lemper
ance generally, and especially the Legislative Prohibi
tion of the Traffic in Intoxicating Beverages, to pro
paro the minds of tho massos for such Prohibition, by
showing iu ?*pe lienoy and Necessity, and to Moure,
by all the ti.lluenoo it may legitimately exert, tho
vigorous enforcement of Prohibitory Laws when ob
tainod. . ...
Its Fiki.d.?Doaling with general principles, with
arguments alike applicable to every community where
the traffic exists and with facts illustrativo ot these
arguments and principles, the paper will bo National
in its spirit, in its s^opo, in its purpose, and, wo trust,
it will bo National in its circulation and influence.
Such is our aim and expectation. Wo desire to seo
the Principle of Prohibition established iu Stato after
State, till it becomes the reeognisod policy of the Na
tion. It is our ambition to boar a part in this groat,
work, and to this end The Pkohibitiomjst is estab
lished, not as the organ ol a society merely, but of a
Gbkat Rkformatorv Movement.
Its Necessity.?The existing Temperance Jour
nals have little, if any, circulation outside of tho Tem
peranco Ranks. Thoir prico almost necessarily re
stricts them to the friends of the cause. Inn I*"0
hibitionist is designed for circulation (instead ol
tracts) among tho indifferent and tho hostile. For
this purpose it is put at a prico so low as to enable
tho friends of Temporance in ovory school district, by
combined action and at an inconsiderable expense,
Uf plaeo a copy in each family that will consent to re
ceive it. ...
Its Pbice.?Ono copy for ono year - -
Throe, to ono address, one yoar 1 00
Seven do. do. - - 2 00
And for each additional four copies, $1.00 will be
added, for any quantity less than fifty copies.
For fifty copies to one address - - $11 00
For 100 do. do. - - - 20 00
No subscription rocoivod for less than one ye*r
and in every case the order must bo accompanied by
tho money. .
Tho paper will be under the goneral direction ol
the Executive Committee, who have roceived ample
assurances of litorary aid from not a few of the ablest
and most eminent writers in the temporanco ranks
throughout the Union. ... .
The work will be stereotyped, and back numbors
can be supplied to new subscriber** at any timo during
th An'ordors should bo addressed to 0. Scovill, Pub
lishing Agent, Albany.
Communications for tho papor, or in relation to tho
interests of the cause generally, should bo directed to
Win H. Burleigh, Corresponding Secretary.

ciety . EDWARD C. DBLAVAN, President.

rry Tho Committee request all editors in the Uni
ted States to give the above one insertion in their
columns. To all who eotnply with this request, we
will send the Prohibitionist for one year, without an
exchange, unless they choose to add to our obligation
by sending their papers also, which would, of course,
be most thankfully recoived. Jan. Z-ydti

IS the cheapest afid best Musical Paper In the
world. This Journal, which has heretofore been
published monthly, eommencei iU fifth year in. Jan
uary next, and thenceforward it will be published
every two weeks-on every other Thursday; thereby
giving more than twice as much matter, without any
increaae in price. Each number contains sixteen
quarto page., four of which are new music, connat
iuif of glees, hymn tunes, chants, anthems, dedication
and holyday pieces, and, in short, every variety of
music adapted to purposes of religious worship, to
public occasions, and to the home circle; all of whiqb
will be of a practical character, and such as can bo
sung by persons of ordinary musical attainments. In
thooditorial department of the Review are engaged ,
(in addition to Mr Cady, the former editor) gentle j
men of the highest talent and ripest musical expert
once, among whom aro George P. Root, William B. ,
Bradbury, Thomas liasiings, and Lowell Mason
and its circle of correspondence, home and foreign,
is complete. The Rovicw will also be s rogular me
dium lor the announcement of new tnu*ical publica
lions by all the leading publishing bouses in the
Union. The subscription list of this paper 1s now
larger than that of any similar journal in the world, .
and the new arrangements, rendering It the cheapest
as well as (It is hoped) the most valuable musical
paper ever published, must largely Increaee iU al
ready unparalleled circulation.
TVrmt One dollar per annuui, or six copiee for
five dollars, always in advance.
try The music alone in a volume would cost over
five dollar* in the usual form. Beside this, there will
be an immense amount of musical news, essays, crit j

|TIIK WEAL AND WOE OP SOCIAL LIFE.
One Volume 12 mo, 81.
THE objeet of this talo is to exhibit in different
ptuiwuH, in high life and low lifo, the accursed
offocts of intemperate drinking, the bane of social
life, the curso of civilized uian. The oharactors aro
woll and sharply drawn, and the various scenes are
described with much spirit and graph*) effect.. * *
* Wo aro disposed to rogard the book as the best
of its kind that has yet appeared.?Boston Traveller.
It is not often that wo read a story of any kind,
but we have broken our praotico, and havo read this
book not only with pleasure, but with a gratification
whioh but very few novels havo ever afforded us. It
is a quiot and simple, but still striking and offoctivo
picture of American social lifo.?Chicago Tribune.
Written with markod ability.?Znusville Courier.
A thrilling picture of tho effects of that infernal
bano of social life, intomporanco.?Richmond Pal
ladium.
The stylo is attractive and fascinating ; thoro is a
froshnoss and originality about it, that is very pleas
ing. * * * Ono of its chiof merits is too excel
lence of its conversations.? Enquirer.
Has so many thrilling possagos and well-drawn
characters, that you read it with absorbed attention.
It cannot fail to achieve for Mrs. Collins an enviable
popularity. She takos us with her to tho drunkard's
homo, and tells of the hunger and the tear, tho toil
and the suffering, that are thero. She paints, with
a woman's delicate skill, tho moek patienoo, tho
long-abused, but unchanging lovo of the druukard s
wife, touches the deepest chords of tho heart, and
makos thorn vibrate with pity and with indignation.
Christian Herald.
Though Mrs. Collins has already hosts of adini
rers of hor literary productions, Uiis work, we pro
diet, will increase tnat number ten fold, and give
her a reputation worthy of her high talents?New
Albany Tribune.
Tho stylo is easy, natural, beautiful, chaste, and
at timos very eloquent. We would comtaond it es
pecially to young ladies, that they may see to what
dangers they aro exposed, in forming alliances with
tho fashionable in high life.?Ohio Organ.
A deeply interesting and powerful work. It vivid
2 portrays some of tho terrific exploits of strong
ink in both high and low life. Nor are such scone*
as it depicts either imaginary or few. lvet this book
circulate. It has a beneficent aim, and is the vehicle
of admirably old and most salutary lessons?Pres
byterian.
* * * Has sketched it in its daintiest form of
fascination, as well as in its grim and dismal aspoct
of open degradation. Barely has a woman ventured
to hold tho torch to such a dark recoss of bnraan
woe.?Daily Ti mis.
Wo know of oo passage, anywhere, more uniquely
beautiful, tuore intensely absorbing, more ovorprm
oring in tho pathetic, than the thirty-fourth chapter.
It is indcod a gem. Wo doubt whether the colobra
tod chapter devoted to the doath of Eva, in Uncle
Tom's Cabin, is superior. * * f It is certainly
tho most powerful tempera nco talo that wo havo over
perused.?Journal ami Messenger.
Beautifully written. * * * A work of great
strength and power.?C^spel lie raid.
? ? ? The inoidonts dramatic, and the inter*
est intense to the end .-?Ohio Statesman.
Wields an easy pon, and sketches men and man
ners to the life.? Presbyterian Herald.
Graphic truthful, chasto, and deeply affecting, the
story winds itself into our feelings, and we borome
absorbed in the plot, as if we bohold beforo our own
eyes the realities of the author's delineations.? Dai
ly Sun.

Such a Paper is demanded by the terming
Community.
The publishers confidently believe that the agri
culturists of this country are Wcomintf too much
awake to tho deim.nda of their own calling to be
longer satisfied with the slow monthly issues ol a pa
per professedly devoted to their interests, or to trust
alone to the irresponsible extracts in a " farmer s
column," so popular ju?t now in papers chicfly devo
tod to business, politics, or literature ; and they looK
for the united support of all the intelligent farrnt ra
of this country in their continued effort to furnish a
weekly pu,.er of a high and reliable character, which
shall be progressive, and at the saiue uiao cautn.ua
and conservative in all its teachings.
Essentially an Agricultural I a pet ?
The Aaruiiltiinn will not depart from its legiti
mate sphere to catch popular favor by lumbering up
iU pages, with the silly, fictitious literature, and
light, miscellaneous matior of the da,; it has a high
er aim , and a small part only of its space wi 1 e
devoted to matters not immediately pertaining to? tl.e
ercat business of Agriculture. Ihe household aJ
well an the out door work of the farm will leceive a
due share of attention The humbugs and nostruina
afloat in the community will be tried by reliable > *c>
entific rules, and their wortbl. ssness exposed, 11 ia
the aiin of the publisher* to k. op this paper under
the guidance of those who will make it a standard
work, which shall communicate to iU readers only
that which is safe aud reliable.
An Independent Journal.
The Atnmran Agrirthnri* stands upon iU own
merits and the truthfulness, xcal, and ahi.ity,
which it brings to the support of the interest* of the
farmer. It is untraromeled by any collateral holi
ness connections whatever, nor is it th? organ of a. y
clique, or the puffing machine of any man or thnq,
Thoroughly independent in all points, its ample pi
ces are studiously given alone to the support and im
provement of the great agricultural class.
