" .....opu, .
the Business Committee, all of which after,
discussion were adopted.
Reared. That as there is no great ques
tion of public interest at stake at this time
before the national mind, except the Chris
tian Htligion, equal iu magnitude and im
portance to that of the eonsuinatiou of the
Tenipei 'ince Kcform, and as human skill is
nisullicient to surmont the clitliculties and
1-!acco.plisl, the end. we therefore, humbly
I ak Diviue Wistlom )o guine 0llr Climl
ris anrl bis blcssintr to crown our effoits witli
success.
Retoiced, That the Al.inagers of this Coun-
j ty Oi-gucizaiioc, be aud are hereby earxitst.y
requested, and it is their duty, lo cncoursgi
aud provide for the holding of public meet
ings in their respective townships, through,
their Pastors, Churches, Sabbath Schools,
fee., and to call out speakers for such occasions
aitd tj) recommend the total abstinence pledge
for signers, and that each township report
quarterly to the President of the County
Union the number of meetings held and tha
names enrolled.
Rctlctt, That we deem it of the first im
portance, that the rising generation be care-
lully instructed and guarded against the evils
of intemperanee, and we earnestly recom
mend that the subject should be brought to
the attention of the Sabbath School Superin
tendatits and Teachets, with the request that
they co-operate with its iu securing the
pledges of the children under their charge to
total abstinence.
R'xolret, That as the diffusion of sound
intelligence is essentially necessary in every
moral reform, wo recommend to all tlio
friends of Temperance the Isadrr, published
by J. II. K fatly, Hollidaysburg, Pa., the
Amnrirmi (innMian. published in PhiladH
phia, aud also the Satiar.zl Teii.jiriitfc A1-vx-ale,
and Yuvth'n Ttmyrriittrt Runner,
published at io. lii, William street, Si. Y.,
as an efficient means of proseuling the work.
Rrmleed, That to the trallic of intoxicating
drinks under the present license system, may
lie traced tiirte-fourths ot the dr.mkcries
paiiierism, insanity, crimes and cusnalitei
of the country, and that against these evils a
a civil right, the people should be protected
by wholesome legislation, and that as a li
cense gives freedom and approves respecta
bility to the traflic, nnd denies the proper
protection to the people, therefore it is the
right and duly of the citizens of this Com
monwealth in self-defence, by legislation and
all suitable means to bring such" traffic to an.
end.
Jmtlred, That it is inconsistent with tho
obligations of persons professing Christianity,
or as members of any Temperance organiza
tion to manufacture, sell, or use ardent spirits
as a beverage, to sign petitions for a license,
or to rent their property to retail ardent
spirits, or in any way to give countenance to
the traflic.
7io,V, That the licensinj of acknow
ledged evils is wrong in morals atid rtiniou-i
in legislation, that a righteous law is a potent
instrument to create a right public senti
ment, and that a bad law depraves and cor
rupts public sentiment, consequently we can
never cive our sanction to a law that licenses
the traflic in intoxicating drinks.
Ou motion, the Convention adjourned t
meet in the same place at 7 o'clock in tho
cvcuuig.
