The convention reassembled at 8 o'clock. The Committee on Resolutions, through their chalrmau, (ieueral Louis Wugner, submitted a pre amble and series of resolutions rec3gaizing the reasons for thauklng God for the Messing which have hitherto crowned the Teraoerance cause, and deprecating the evils following the sale and usa of Intoxicating liquors. That thoae who vote directly or Indirectly in sup port of the licensed trade In liquors are, with, the Tenders, morally responsible for the evils resulting therefrom. That the convention earnestly recommend the formation throughout the State of Voting Leagues, pledging their members to support no one for any legislative or executive oi&ee woo 19 not thoroughly committed to temperance principles.

Addresses on the resolutions were nvvle by Messrs. Coleman, Wright, Black, McFarlaud, and Coombs. THIS MORKIKd'B SESSION. The convention resumed Its deliberations tals morning as 10 o'clock, with General Josuaa T. Owen in the chair. Kev. jUr. Mullen opened the proceedings with prayer. I.ufore the resumption of the regular busi ness the following important coinmuulcatlon was received : To the President and Delegates of the Temperance Con vention. GentlHuien I expected to bo witu you, but business has detained me at borne. I understand tie question ol organizing a separate temperance p iny will be Oetore the conveniniD. I'tiis would be a great misrule? at Ihntimo. Tiie people are not prepared for it, and it would result in chocking tbe cause if attempted at pre nvtit. A few years ro 1 was of tiie same opinion, and a tew of us organized a temoeranoe party aed put a ticket in the field. We did pretty well, but we wero all satisiied that it was a miidake ; and it. greatly damaged our c iuie here then beoaune we were uot prepared for it, and snob will be tbe result iverywnere it is tried until tbe tem perance ixulintf has a stronger hold upon r.ae people. Ths most important measure before tae people is the Local Option law; this ouicht to be secured, if possible, which would Cause an aitttioa throughout i be whole St xla, a-d in a snort time would bring tue quustion so lUoroughly before tho pople taut many yuurs would not pass before the friends of teinpor anre would procuro a foothold in every ouoty, cUy, borough, and township in the (Statu; and ihon tbsy could marshal their Knees in a solid body, and when they felt that tiles coulu succeed that would lie tue proper time to firgauize aaa party, which woa'd command success by the great demonstration that it could make. In tbe meantime the friends of temperanco, in support of t heir piinciples, should res live I hut they will suupjrt so drinking manor one who would throw bis iniluenco against the temperance cause if elocted toioniress or eur fetate Legislature, an-1, in fact, for any local o.hce. In this wav tho inlluence of the teinopr.ince iuhii coul I be bi ought to bear wit Q tenfold more force upon the existing parties than byforminga separate Tompwinue part.yat this time, it would force both parties in a large numbir of the counties to give cricking men as well as opponents to the temperance cause, as can lidates for publto o'H;e, and when either party nominated such men lot the whole temperance vote be thrown against them, duca a nelicy would, as stated before, exercise tenfold the intlience on parties than tbe organization of a separate party. As the editor of tbe M-umf Journal lor upwards of forty-two yours, which is an independent and out-spoken paper, as many know, I have considerable experience in thee inai tern, and the more I retl ict on this subject th ) more thoroughly couvinced am I that an altemp to form a separate psrty at t his time would damage the causo and throw it back tor several years. I am awara we have a nunber of yonng tntliUKidrUH, and also a number of old workers in the cause, who, in consequence of not having succeeued ere thi., attribute the failure to tbe nun estab lishment of a 1'emperance party This is not the eanse of eon-succoss heretofore it is to be attributed more to the character of our people, who are not easily operated upon, and t he great apatby th is prevails among tbe dill ireut churches an I deal ui n it ion in Pennsylvania on this question. Thoy mutt be stirrnd up to duty, and as soon as they show a disposition to aid toe great cause of tempurano, a cause on whinh the pros perity and extensionof Oiiriatianity so greatly Idepend, it will soon obtain a foothold among tho peorle Ji Hat all fii power of thcBO engaged iu the lnltrnil liquor traffic will not be able to erailic.ite. Tbe sentiments of tbe people and also the position of parties must also be taken inui cousiderat'oa. There are tUouainils of persons wno favor temperanoe, and will suppoit or vot in favor of it, if you do not sepa rate it from otker questions of policy before the country in which thoy feel a grtater interest in bearing upon their business interests. A separate party would drive this force from you, in spite of all your arguments to the con trary, and thus weaken you. ... Further, taree-fourtns of the friends of the torapennce ri,o in Vannsvlvania belong to the Republican parry. Ihatnina in niir legislative hal show this: while thrurf- lovthsof the Democratic p-rty oppose tempennce their votes also provo this. Homing wuuia please tne ruunei W mn much as to see a separate Temperanne party organ ized, and they would, under the circumstances, contribute to ke it in the field, knewing that it would draw nearly Jill s force trom tne luspuoncan party, una lusrvuuin eas'ly defeat both parties, and by such means easily obtain tbe awcendancj. You would also anve a large p-rtion ot tbe lukewarm Republicans to the Democracy, while out. few ot the profensed friends of the Democracy would leave their party and join a minority for the sake of their tem perance principles. He bad a strong illustration of this in tiie couductof tne "lireatWar Horse ot Temperance," the Bev. John Chambers, in the Governor, election be tween Pollock and Bigler, when the question of prohibi tum was-before the people of the State. Again, bv weakening ihe Republican party, tbe natural allies of te'roperance, you greatly weaken the cause of tem perance, by pursuing the policy indicated above yon will compel tte Republican party to engraft temper ance among its other leading princi ples, and this will greatly strengthen tit because it will be continually deriving strength from the young temperance boys, as they arrive at age, while the ruin or Democratic party will draw but few. This is a question which but few think of, but it has an important Iteming on this question. . The Maine Law was passed by some Democrats voting for it, but there aany of the leading Democrats in tue irlue were active temperance men. 15u in no otner State ha the Democracy alvoca'ed temperance, or ever pasted a temperance law. Tbe few who advocate temperance are onlv an exception to the general rule, the vote in our House of Representatives, should a few Democrats vol e for tbe Local Option law, and a few Republicans vote agsinst it, makes the rule hold good. There ie also a question of national polioy looming up in this country, which must be decided at the next Presiden tial election. I mean the prohibition policy of the coun try, o which tbe prosperity of the whole business com munity depends. On this question the Republican party and tae Democratic parties stand as they do on tbe temperance question. To weaken tho Republican party, whicn J consider th temperance party as strongly as it is the party of protei linnln hntiiKH indiistrv. will be disastrous to the bst in terests of tbe country, and woud cause many of those who would, under otbor circumstances, co-operate with the temperance cause, to curte it tor the time beiog, and would never cordially again unite themselves with the friends of temperance. Bucn lee incs anq suon aliena tions are much stronger and more bitter thaa a grout many people who have strong feelings on the subject can linafice. I tell you candidly, that if the Temperance Convent ion should commit such a blunder, now, as strong a i need of temperance as 1 am, I aliou'd bave to take ground against it tor the time, and so would thousands of others wuo are now devo' ed friends of tem perance, tut wbo cannot tie themselves down tJ a single . ..... . nhr itinifirt.snt nuestious may be perill'td. and which might result to the great injury of the toiling iudbop.. Kxcusetuisiona "'XJA MIN 'baN.VAN. fficeluf ' Winers' Journal," Pot'sville, May, W, IS7L. After the reading of the letters the convention then took up the substitute of Mr. Black, those resolutions having been made the special order for 10 o'clock. The resolutions of Mr. Black, which were onered iust previous to adjournment last even. ing, provide for the formation of voting leagues, to th effect that the candidates of the political pir- tles lor State ollices should lie questional as to tbeir ' views on the temperauce question, and if they de cline to give their adherence to the cause, a con vention should be called immediately, and nominate a ticket on the temperance platform. Dr. Nt-vln addressed the convention, and when he took liisseat General Waimer made objection to Uih consideration of the substitute on the ground tH tt it was not beiore the bodv. inasmuch as the reuoiations submitted yesterday by the committee did not p-isx to the convention but were yet in the possession of the committer!, and he called a point of order on the objection, l ne cimirman decided tne point not well taken, and. af'er a further discussion. Mr. Blvk withdrew his substitute, which act brought a sutiule- mcntary report of the committee before the con vention. . . Thomas M. Coleman, then arose and delivered n niritd address, in wnicn ne noiutedlv rem.irre i that it waji utterly useless to eipwt to succeed with a party having for its basis prohibition, inasmuch a the respectable portion of tue community would not Ktve it their support. Air. coieiuan, however, wai In favor of marshalling tne mrcni oi ina tempi' ance men, believing that nutted action by Ui.it hndv will be productive of great results. At this stage of the proceedings Hon. Neal D w enters, and was creeled With apoiaUHe. Mra Ooff then wished to speak a few words, and Tjermlaau.n heinir iriven her to do 80, she maln itddreas. which ahe ornamented by a pathetic reclui Of several ecenes of domestic distress occasioned ny rum-drinking. She worketi up in her a nrss a llght digression on woman's rights, an 1 got oh with irrvor Several enifframiuatiC philosophical relloo- ,l.ns which actually brought down the house. Nhe t,t last announced that she would couclnde, whlco Bi element whs oaueu witn unquanuou npprounuou Hon. Neal Dow was Invited to address theconveu- t on. He began with the remark that the time was when temperance and pontics were kept strictly apoit, i'tcvwus to tiie Mttiiie uwa la au tempt rsnne conventions a member who would dare to say anything political in Its tendencies was Instant y fiewned down. Let us stick to temperance, people Rkid, and don't mi up . politics with it; be cause tr we do, we -will make a mise rable failure of it; and in that they were precisely In the wrong. The temperance movement never can be made a success unless it is made a political movement. Until this fact is recognized, no good con Id be accomplished. Indeed, it is the -only wny in which reform can be worked, simply to pass a law which, for the protection or society, limits or weakens or entirely overthrows this da maging liquor traiflc. The speaker did not desire to intermeddle with local ail'airs, but he regarded Unsbodyas not only a temperance con vention, but a political convention also. To reuaedT the evils oi intemperance you must apply t!ie ballot. You nnitit resolve to never vote for a ballot that had rum In It. The way In which the principle is to be applied in Pennsylvania is for you to ueelde; lint tho above course has been In practice in Maine and some otnt-r States, and It has been successful. The honorable gentleman Uiougnt it advtsthle to call the at'eiit ou of the audieuce to the temperance movement in Holland Tne temperance workers were properly organized end equipped in tie year lsr.5, and since that tune n bind of men have la bored haroer and more conscientiously ttun tfi"se hnd'i-s of thorotigh-gplng, practical Knglisitmin. Vt hat euoccPB hua come to thm will be seen in the following condensed order of facts: In the vearlstU a prohibitory liquor law was be fore the House of Commons, and it wag dereated by S!4 votes; In theyear ISfifl It was sgain before Com mons, and It was defeated by let) votes, and in tho year 1670 the bill again came came up, and tt was only voted down by a majority of 81 votes. T.fsa figures speak more eloquently and powerfully than the most polished langiiairo could convey the largely Increasing strength of the temperance movement in Great Britain. When the vote last year was announced the friends of temperance Hrose in a body, and, giving three loud huzzas, tiiey aid to the "ruminlsts" you have beaten us the last time, atid the opposition felt the full force of the expression. They begin to see the drift of public opinion. Mr. Gladstone hns been promising the temperauoe men to introduce a bill for the regulation of ths liquor traillc. The nittttr has been persistently post poned, but our friends on the other side geitinir clamorous a noverriu.ent bill this year wa3 reported through the Lome Secretary, Mr. Bruce. Tho bill was found to be obnoxious, imperfect, and unjust in so many particulars thit It was defeated in the House of ominous on Tuesday last by a majority of 81 votes. The speaker looked npon the temperance prispct in Englunii as most bright, and he Jo jularly mu'.iI, "Jchn Bull will beat you, gentlemen. The old fellow Is aroused and in earnest, and he has u won. derfnl holdfast, and lie will succeed without a doubt.'- The speaker did not want to see the Yankees beaten, and he advised them to go at oneo to work Judge i'eirce followed in a few brief reuarks, and was followed by numerous addresses on the resolu tions. The resolutions were passed unanimously, and the whole audience united In sluglng the doxoiogy. Here are the resolutions: Jtraolvnl, That the chairnvin of this convention shall at once appoint a titste Central Committee of one for each Mute Senator. The said committee shall bold its lint meeting at tbe call of its chairintn, within thirty days of bis appointment. At the said first meeting they shad perform the following duties: b irst. Prepare and publish rules for conducting eloo tions of Senatorial and Representative delogates to a Mate convention, expressly defining all the powers of officers to conduct Slid delegato elections ; h iw they shall be chosen; who shall voto, and who shall be eligible tor election. Second. Adopt rules for the government of cotintv ex ecutive committees, and, to facilitate organization, ap point a chairman for eaco county, who shall in bis t urn, appoint colleagues to act in behalf of every election pre- uiDcttuerpin upon asm commute. TJiird. When tbe or inization i is comnleted inama. jority of the counties f the Commonwealth the Chairman of the btaie Central Committee shall call a State Conven tion to revise, reconstruct, modify, or adopt and indorse tne preliminary steps thea taken, and take other steps as tony may oeem auvuunie. General Wagntr submitted a resolution which provides ihat means he taken to place a temperance paper in eaoh family tn the state. Agreed to. Tne same gentleman uiso ottered tue following: Krtolrnt. That the general administration of alcoholio mixtures in thepractice of medicine is alike condemned by the learning, iuitgmm, and experience of the wisest practitioners, anu ln results which so sadly follow such administration, snd taerefore in the light, of scientific research and experience this convention does moat earn estly condemn such empirical practice. Agreed to. Also a resolution or sympathy with tne mends or local prohibition in the Ttveuty-secoud ward, and holding their example up as worthy of imitation. Agreed to. A temporary excitement was caused nv the read ing of a teltgram addressed to a member of the convention. In which was contained the information that Governor Geary had signed the bill repealing the act wblch prohibits the wale 01 liquor la lua- cannon township. Perry county. The reading or this brought out a nery condemna tory resolution, in which Governor Geary was de nounced in the most unmeasured terms. The chairman doubted the propriety of acting im mediately on the resolution, inasmuch as the des patch from Ilarrlsburg came in an unofficial shape. lie though' the matter oiignu tone posiponea uuui tte afternoon session, and he would 11 ud out in the meantime if the information be correct. The resolution was postponed, and the convention adjourned. DUMB ANIMALS. The Society that Protects them from man s uruciiy.
