' A Great Fir`Obet, - We mean the great freshet of pub lic sentiment whiCh is just: now attaining a height and overwhelming :force which prom ises to sweep sway the whole system of liquor drinking and vending under. which -crime and misery have reached such gigantic proor tions, and sneh a desolating sway. ,Weltave been attentive and . interelAed. observers. of the various reforms of th© last thirty year , . We have marked their rise and prlgress, and sometimes their \ deelincand fall ; and in some instances have 'seen refornis which were at .first-unpopular, rise to an encouraging po:nt a success and public favor. But never have we seen such triumphant .victory achieved. by any enterprise of the kind as that which, now rewards the efforts of prohibition. It is but a few short years since, as - we well remember, the idea of -prollittititigli(tterly . by raw the traffic in intoxicating drinks; ...was Considered sheer fanaticism Of the most 'ultra character; by all'save-a fesr! leading spirits 4; the Temperance ranks: -.lt is not more than , , five years since the condueters of the Organ ;.were assailed with much - Warmth and actt raony.by active temperance. men in .various parts of the country, because they adVocated and urged legal prohibition 4 Soutethnes'eo- Pies of the paper were sent. back with notice of indignant dissent from a subscriber,- and sotetimes long letters rebitking the editors-. ..fns their heterodoxy in apt*aling . to legisla - tare interference instead of moral suasion... • But the world . does move; and on this sub-. .ject'it hits made an advance whigh may .well gladden the hearts of Al the friends of 'man. Not in one or two States merely ; not in any one large section of our country, but east and *est, north and south, ins the British prrAin- ees of North America,•in England, on the Pa ,- cifie, in Australia, the great moral discovery of legal prohibition of the tragic in liquor, as the remedy fen intemperenee, is cordially em )braced and earnestly advocated by all except tie supporters of tllie traffic in free drinking. A temperance*n opposed to prohibition.is almost as rare' a. it remain as an Mitiiy *saurus or any pre-minikle And .the growth of this sentiment in favor of prohibition,-; whiCh was so 'slow • and . &file& t, at Mat, hak • forlhe last two br three vears, been More like „the Spread of a mighty fresh et than : any thing else.' Politicians, shrewd, tainagillgiilitielans, who happened to twerldok or desptse.thiS new doetrine,ltave siiddeiily found - themselves lifted off their feet; and left high and dry nowhere.
