Great Meeting' atWooater, O.
The friends of temperance of Wayne
county, held a large and spirited meeting at
Wooster, on the 8th inst., the proceedings
of which we have before us.
The Convention was organized by the
appointment of J. A. LAWRENCE, Presi
dent ; J. P. Shith, VicetPresident ; and G.
W, Donnelly, Secretary.
The object of the meeting was briefly ex
plained by H. C. Johnson.
On motion of J. H. Kauke, a Committee
of five was appointed, consisting of H. C.
Johnson, J. Reaser, Rev. Mr. M 'Carson,
W. J. Bouck, and A. Bestwick, to report re
solutions expressive of the feelings and sen
timents of the meeting.
Rev. W. H. Nickerson addressed the meet
ing at some length. His remarks were in
teresting, and listened to with great atten
tion. H.O.Johnson, from the Committee on
Resolutions, reported the following resolu
tions, which were unanimously adopted :
Resolved. That In importance, considering
the mental, moral, physical and pecuniary evils
of intemperance, wide spread and devastating
as they are, the temperance movement and
temperance reformations, exceed almost any
movement or reform of the day.
Resolved, That no true friend of his country.
of his kind, and ol his own circle, when he
views morality and law overridden and crush
ed by the minions of intemperance, can with
hold his hand trom laboring in the cause ot
temperance.
Retolved. That from the wide spread in
fluence, from the deep seated and strong hold ol
intemperance, patience, energy, perseverance
and labor in hope and lailli must characterize
every laborer in the'eauseot temperance.
Jiesolved, That we hail with inumpn ana
satisfaction the Maine Law, as being founded
upon the correct basis, the cnlv true ground
which can be taken. The inherent wrongful
ness of the traffic, not as a mere matter of po
lice regulation, but as perpetrating a great
wrong on community, requires that it should
be prohibited, the same as any other offence
asainst society.
Resolved, That the implements and liquors
ui lua ucaiera 111 ameni epulis uuui iu uc limb
ed as the imolements and the coin of the coun
terfeiter, and like the implements and tools of
the (rambler, seized uton and destroyed.
Resolved, That in view of the foundation of
tbe Maine Law, and its already beneficent
effect and influence, we will make it the basis
of our action, and will unite in petitioning the
legislature oi Uhlo tor the passage oi a
similar to that, which shall prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquors, except for medicinal and
mechanical purposes, in any quantities, and
wmcn shall suDject sll liquors Kept ior i"
contravention to the law, to seizure and de
struction. Rel,d. That it beinr the duty ot temper
ance men to labor, we will canvass the county
in behaifof the cause, and will hold one or more
meetings in each lownstup, lor the purpose oi
inducing a pressure of public opinion in the
snape oi pennons, upon uio uegioiaiuic
Retolved, That a central committee of five
be appointed, who shall furnish speakers to

oil , J" i . H ,

perform the duties generally of such a com
mittee. . , ' ,
Resolved. That the temperance men ol
Wavne county, though expecting to meet great
opposition, will at once go to wore in earnest !
and will not cease their labors, until the sale of
ardent spirits as a beverage is banished from
the county.
The meeting was ably addressed by
Messrs. H. C.Johnson, Rev. Mr. Ham, Rev.
Mr. Jones and others.
Rev. Mr. Carson offered the following
resolution, which was unan imously adopted
Prtnlnnl. That th ministers of theGosnel.
of The various denominations' hniirrtot the
county, be requested and solicited within the
next lour weeks, to deliver one or more sermons
or addresses on the cause of Temperance, and
m other ways, as opportunity may present, to
act for it among their charges.
The number of delegates from the various
parts of the county, the earnestness and
enthusiasm of the speakers, together with
the great interest which all present seemed
to take in the proceedings, evinces that the
citizens of Old Wayne are waking up to
their own interest and the cause of human-
ity, and are determined to throw off the
yoke of intemperance which has so long
and so grievously oppressed them.
Friends of Temperance: You will per
ceive by the proceedings of our Convention
that the ball ol Temperance nas Dccn once
more put in motion. Now, on your part,
seek to follow up the commencement by
vigorous and determined action, and great
good will be done. We would reKpectfully
call your attention to the resolution in rela
tion to canvassing the county, and urge
upon you to take hold of the work in the
different parts of the county at once. Se
lect times and places for holding meetings,
., . i.i ; I 1 !.!.
wiinout aeiay: proviue yourselves wiiu
speakers from your midst if you can, but if
you cannot, uotity the undersigued, and
they will furnish them. Circulate the peti
tions far and wide seek to multiply signers
to them. When the petitions are full of
names, inclose them to us, and we will tor
ward them to the Legislature. Now, friends,
let us all to work in the cause of Temper

Kotsnth again His Reception i Cleveland,
Time of Departure.
I came down to the Forest City yesterday
afternoon. The cars on the Akron branch to
and on the Pittsburgh railroad from Hudson
were crowded. The American Hotel I again
found tested to its utmost capacity. When I
left Cincinnati last week, it was expected that
Kossuth would arrive in Cleveland last night.
It is now determined that he will not be here
until Thursday night. The Committee of Re
ception, consisting of J. C. Vaughn, of the
True Democrat; J. W. Gray, of the Plain Deal
er; M. C. Youuglove, W.SIade, junior, and
Dudley Bildwin, has gone to Pittsburgh to at
tend the exiled Governor. He will be enter-

address the people from the balcony of the Wed
dell, and in the evening will attend a banquet
at Kelley't Hall.
It is expected that on Saturday he will speak
to the ladies at one of the churches, sad will
remain here over the Sabbath. These are the
arrangements as far as completed. There is ex
pected to be a host of delegations from country
towns here, and the Hungarian will probably
be s actively engaged as in any of the Eastern
cities. Cleveland will give him a glorious wel
come. The True Democrat and Plain Dealer vie with
each other in affording him and his mission
sympathy. The Herald " holds back."
I go to Painesville this morning, and will re
tnrn on Thursday and give you an account of
Kossuth's Cleveland welcome. W. T. C.

steamship Georgia will leave on the 24th Inst.,
and all her berths, likewise are engaged.
The Kossuth Banquet. At the meeting of
the committee on Saturday night, at the burnet
House, considerable competition was evinced
for tbe honor of presiding officer t the banquet.
W. M. Corry sod W. S. Groesbeck were the
candidates. After a spirited canvass, each hav
ingan cijual number of friends at the count, they
both retired in favor of our neighbor Faran, of
the Enquirer, who was elected. He therefore
presides on that eventful occasion.

M. W. P., and J. S Whitwell, as correspond
ing Editor.
It is believed, notwithstanding the suc
cessive failures in similar enterprises, that
at this time, such an undertaking, by avoid
ing the errors that past experience has made
apparent, may be attended with success ;
and more than that, it seems manifest that
at this particular conjuncture, such an
Organ is imperatively demanded.
At this time no appeal will be made to
the philanthrophy or the moral sentiment
of the community, to sustain our paper;
no higher principle will be invoked than
self-interest as involved in the security of
property, life and limb, and the preserva
tion of domestic happiness.
The increase of taxes caused by intem
perance, has been often adverted to. That
spirituous liquor is the very mother's milk
of crime, needs no other comment than the
streets of your most populous city can sup
ply. The street robber, the possible ashas
sin, commences his round ef depredation
upon its most frequented thoroughfares,
before the shades of evening have well shut
in. Who doubts where he finds harbor and
concealment? Where should he but in the
same place where he found the cause, the
means and the iucentivo for his villainy 1
At this hour, is not Cincinnati, for violence
and assasination, a fair parallel to Naples
and Venice, in their worst days.
The will of the majority was expressed
at the polls in June last. An attempt is
now made to evade the execution of its
will. Friends of Temperance ! your an
tagonists are active and wilful superseding
every other issue their interests are to be
first secured. They have demanded of the
candidate for office, on the first suggestion
of his name, that he should promise to sup
port their views under the penalty of defeat,
either on nomination or election. They
indeed require no public press to second
their efforts all they ask is silence and
sufferance Whether or no their object is
obtained, "Judge ye !"
Your antagonists arc powerful. They
can use means and agents which you dis
dain to employ ; but something you may
do. You can itritale their energy. If they
combine and conspire against the public
peace, you can oppose open concert and
union to secret combination and conspiracy.
To accomplish anything, you must in
voke the aid of the press. Your principles
have nothing to fear from investigation and
discussion. We propose, with your aid and
co-operation, to employ this mighty weapon
against the insidious and dangerous foe.
In this form we can only indicate the gci
ral course to be pursued. The "Organ"
will endeavor to expose the terrible conse
quences to individuals and to society, from
the manufacture, traffic and use of intoxi
eating drinks, and speak out plainly and
boldly against iniquity iu high places, and
lust, though not least, advocate the passage
and enforcement of laws which shall bauish
from our country the accursed liquor manu
facture and traffic.
" Moral suasion for the Drunkard,
For the tempter, lain."
The Committee appointed by the Grand
Division have encouraged Bro. Caleb Clark
to undertake the publication of the Organ,
and have made such arrangements as are
satisfactory to them, and will doubtless be
to the friends of temperance generally in
the West, and would earnestly invite their
hearty co-operation and support. Arrange
ments have been made to supply tbe ad
vanced subscriptions to the Western Foun
tain.

profits of a Mutual Company (to the amount of 3tls

son wishes to leave a delinite sum to Ins heirs, not
subject to the contingencies of profits, tiiis system of
insurance is prererable. Or if he wishes to insure for

unsafe, if not a dt ttun-'st, mode of U;insaoting busi

Insurance Company is liable, renders it absolutely

This is the only method by which adequate secur
ity can at all times be furnished to the insured and
place the Company in a position in which no amovnf.
of future lossescan impair ita solvency.
The charter of the Washington Life Insurance
Company provides that a wile may insure the life of
her husband lor her benefit, and lor her children, and
at his death receive the amount of the policy, without
regard to the debts of thehosband. Creditors cannot
take it. This privilege cannot be obtained in a
foreign company.
The advantages of Life Insurance commends itself
to the favorable consideration of every class of persons
in community. Unlike 'ir or Marine Insurenue,
in which there is no data tor the calculation of pre
miums, it is founded on the immutable laws of na.
ture, fixed and invariable. The rates or premiums
are deduced from the bills of mortality, and verified
by the experience of more than a century.
t here is no mode ol investment more snre. more
certain, or more easily attainable, or more profitable to
the insurer, than Life Insurance. It is the only spe
cies of investment that has stood the test ol time, and
