Editor or tub Organ Dear Bro: I
send yon herewith the proceedings of a
spirited and harmonious meeting of the
true friends of Temperance, held in this
city this day. You arid the friends of the
cause throughout the State, may rely upon
the phalanx of Frackliri county, to do its
duty in the coming contest. We go in
for the war, the whole war, and nothing
but the but we don't intend to draw
any blood, except the blood of Brandy
barrels.
The Ohio State Journal, came out in a
long leader this morning, in which it is
set down as a fact fixed beyond the pos
sibility of dispute, that the Maine Law is a
total and entire failure. Won't this be
kiws way down East, and is itnot a won
der of wonders, if such is the case, that it
is necessary Jor the Journal to come to the
rescue at this late day, when the poor
thing is so entirely dead aiid buried. But
you will read this wise article, and no
doubt admire its sage conclusions. I, for
one, should like to see aLunatio Asylum,
or a Penitentiary large enough to contain
the twenty thousand drunkards of your
Queen city.. Would'nt it be a nice pretty
sight; and to see the little army of dram

ceedings, you no doubt will receive in
time to publish this week, from our
worthy , brother1. Warren Jenkins.
But a word about subscribers. Accord
ing to promise, I made an effort yes
terday, and secured names for twenty
one subscriptions, and, since the meet
ing, four more; making in all, twenty
five new subscribers. As soon as I
return from New York, I will renew
my efforts, and rest assured, I will not
stop before I reach the number of two
hundred, instead of one hundred sub
scribers, which I had long ago prom
ised you. As soon as our business in
County Convention was over, yester
day, Ii called .'attention to the impor
tance of sustaining the "Organ," and
having it widely circulated the ap
proaching Summer, and soon a resolu
tion was passed, pledging those pres
ent to obtain five hundred subscribers
for the "Organ" in this city and county.-
The resolutions will be carried
out.-- -' ; : ' .v '
A glorious revival in the Temper
ance cause has just begun in Franklin

spread, until its cheering' and blessed
effects shall be felt by every family and

Bro. Cart : Permit me to say to
the; friends of Temperance through
your paper, that the cause of human
ity is steadily progressing along Deer
Creek. The "Maine Law" is grow
ing in favor with the people, and many
are taking a bold and decided stand
forit. ' .' -. ''.;-!
. Last Sabbath, I had the pleasure
of preaching to a large audience,! jri
Williamsport, Pickaway co., ;called
together to hear a sermon on the
"Maine Law." That has-been j a
"hard" place, and in the r audience
were many of the votaries of Bacchus,
and several "Knights of the toddy
stlck." Many were the hearty re
sponses in favor of the "Star of
Maine;" and 1 am sure you. would
have been cheered to have heard the
many responses of voters in the con
gregation, when the sentiment was
advanced in favor of voting for no one;
for any office, who is not a decided
temperance man. In speaking on
this subject in public, and conversing
privately, I find many of all parties
who are resolved to sacrifice all party
attachments, if needs be, and vote for
those candidates only who are avowed-,
ly temperance men'. , : ,,.
. The friends of Temperance of s all
parties have become incensed at the
action, or. rather want of action, of
the present; Legislature, and are deS
termined to remember them at . the
polls. ; '(.. 'I V.!,.: f

gests the propriety of your publishing
in, the ."Organ" the names of those in
