M. CALDWEIXA Chairman.
OF THE STATETEMPERANCE CONVEN
TION TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVA-
_ .
FELLOSS!CITIZENB:—AssembIed from various parts
of our Commonwealth, for the purpose of delibera
ting on the best means of
.abating the evils of in
temperance, this Convention is unwillingto adjonin
until it has prepared a frank and earnest address to
you, asking your immediate antLectlve co-operation.
It is our wish, if possible, not to address ourselves
exclusively, or specially to the aVarnell and onTolleo
friends ,of temperance, but to each citizen in our
'State. We do this with the more eonfidence
be
cause we are convinced that there is not a single
family in the Commonwealth that has not been af
fecte_d_directly rernotely,-in person, reputatio&
or property by this common evil. It is not our in
• tention to press upon your' notice the magnitude of
the evil considered ., aggregately ; nor - the amount of
priiate misery and infamy which it produces. These
have been the burden of former appeals, and their
existence_has.beeri so clearly demonstrated that no
opeAnubtsany,longee: The' individual and public
Enna is 'satisfied of the great msgninide . aiiil
sal diffusion of the 'evil: The question now is;
Can any thing further be done to suppress or arrest
-it? .--And if so, adiat is it ? We haven strong hope'
that if it can-be clearly-shown-what further-is neces
sary, the community will be brought to general ac
tion..
, The unanimity of opinion as to what further mea
sures' are, requisite, is very remarkable, and very
encouraging. The friends of Temperance through
out the State arc satisfied -that the time has come to
invoke legislative actioti. This clear conclusion has
followed from patielitlitvestigidien; and warm - pro
tracted discussion, in Temperance meetings, in pub
lic prints, and in successive conventions. Two
principal difficulties were at first supposed to be in
the way. An impression, perhaps an opinion, was
abroad, that • the legislature 'had no power over the
question. This ground is now abandoried- even_ by
_the_opposition.___Nlerever-thevestion-bas-come
before the judicial tribunals of the country, the con
stitutionality of the prohibitory laws has been affirm-.
ed. - -It is nir,ii-wl-understood-that-the-lieense-laws
were established for the purpose of regulating what
was acknowledged to be a dangerous traffic. But
if thelegislature may_pass laws restiaining (hy_the.
- the intervention - of - the - courts) - the retail - of - inroxina
ting liquors to a few, say-ten-or-twenty in a Borough
or County, it may restrict to one, or prohibit alto
gether. We do not advise legislative action incon
sistent in principle , with what has existedlrom the
first. This is,now so we ll understocid, that opposi
tion
has ceased from this direction.
But another difficulty was in the way; and is not
4ntiieliremoved yet. .T.here wait an apprehension
abroad, (in some instances real, but in most feigned,)
that 'befriends of Temperance desired the Legisla
'ture'to extend the prohibition- into the filially circle,
'and thus invade the. sanctity of-doniestio soeietY.--
Thtifriends of Temperance never desired such Le
gislative action. 'The habits and wishes of each
fsimily,within its own private circle are Ist be held
sacred, and 'not to be forcibly entered even under ,
cover of law. What bas been asked,and is again pray
ed for by , this Convention, will not interfere with the
Internal arrangementsni private habits of any . fiunify.
What, then, is the legislative measure upon which
thereis:such unanimity of opinion atittuig the friends
of, Temperance ? this, the ithmedistte passage
of a law It that shall put it in the power of a majority.
of qualified voters in a ward,. Bort:nigh or !Township,
to.say, in a ampler that shall not interfere with the
strifes of party polities, whether. there shall be any
person or persons licensed in such ward, Borough o f t,
_Township, to sell intoxicating 'drinks, -or not."—
"Such alegislative disposition oE the
. question tuost
obviously would '.be 'in strict accordaniie with the'
principles of our.Goverionent.', ) ' ,

`majority.- But it is firmly believed this *tntld'rare
ly be the case:. There are but few townships Wh*t:e
.the pitiplO would not pronottnce - agginst the evil, it
they were ealledupon to deckle this simple question .
.by ballOt. Thiti,then, is the grand measure to be
carried t and to this end the friends of the best and
holiest cause of humanity must be active and unwear
ied httheireieitionc, • . - •
. . .
• In the first place, if it be possible, let every-quali
fied voter in the commonwealth be called on imme
diately to sign a petition - 1d the ,Legislature, asking
die passage of such a law at their present session:
let alI females w,ho have attained to a suitable age,
send up their earnest petitions; and let there be no
cessation until our prayer is granted. In the lan
guage ofthe last Convention; "we want a law which
shall bring the issue fairly.and fully before- every
qualified voter in the Commonwealth-
.• We want.to
have-the opportunity of pressing hia conscience with
all the responsibility to his family, his country, and
his God, which will rest upon him in giving a note
that may determin&such an issue. 'And we fear not
the result.. ° Truth ie mighty and Will prevail.'.',,
In pursuance of this great measure, and 'for the
preservation of thelaw;svlien once obtained,we wish
-strongly•tirtirge•the-friends-of,temperanceto-attend
the primary mectings of the several political partiei
and use their influence to have teinperanie men pfit
in nomination forthe Legislatere. We do not advise
or desire to make a:political temperance party; but
siniply urge you to use your -influence with thepo
litical liarty -with which yOu severally act, to have
temperance men ,put in nomination for the Legisla
ture. The Convention deem this an important mea-
RAMBLER.
El=
Another; and in the present state of the temperance
reformation, very important measure is, to obtain
access to the columns of,the various'political , papers
for the purpose of placing valuable and correct in
formation before the people. These are the only
channels through . which the whole people can be
reached, If the different political papers. in 'your
respective counties will not establish a Temperance
c. •
Department of_a column or two a week for their love
' of the cause; and the interest it would impart to their
papers; then let the friends of Temperance purclaise
the privilege and use it discreetly and diligently and
it will be 6n effectual weapon. By-this means light
will be poured into the dark places where it is most
needed, and. entire public mind will
notion. This Convention is gratified to - learn that.
there arc various. political papers in the CommOn-'
[-Wealth-411a
biliive a l emperance Department sit
service of judicious committees, and ask no 'other
reward than the conscious pleasure of doing good.
„Vie.only.rerriaining topiewhichthe Conventien wish
to press' upon your attention is, the 'petition to the
Legislature to pass a law "requiring all those who,
1 1 intend' petitioning to the courts for lieenses to retail
intoxicating . drinks, to-give notice of said•intentioii.
in at least one paper published in the county where
the- applicant may reside, for six weeks 'previous to
Isuch application, accompanied with the names of
Ilicise who recommend mid - applicant'', The Con
ventioe consider a law embodying the' above provi
sions, cd. vast importance to the community and the
cause of temperance How often are We - Startled
upoli the adjournment of court to find oueneighbyir
hood infested with many grog shops of,which no one
dreamed 'till the Mischief - IVIn done. The? was no
opportunity 'for the community to examine the ap
plications for license, nor the diaractereand circum
stances ol the recommendations. A doz' l en men may
wish licenses to sell, and they may recommend each
other, or other interested parties, as the manufac
turers or owners of the propel-1Y may recommend .
them. We know how easy it is to procure signa
tures when the'parties are not to be known, as is the
practice under the present law. The parties are
very rarely questioned—and there _ can- be no doubt
but - if their t nanaes were required to be publishea and
‘.
thus an opportunity weregiven to subject their state
ment to the test of "an examination, or thernielves to
an oath, there would be much more care and oircum
speciion in recommending individuals 'to retail 'in-
toxicating drinks.
Thus fellow citizens have we suggested to you
what ought to be done, and done quickly. We have
not end eavor '
ed'to stir your blood by p - ortraying - the
enormity of the evil. This you have long since seen
and felt. But we have desired to produce immediate
action-for the-purpose fif abating and suppressing the
evil. - Hall -the friends of the - causerwill quickly ex
ert thernselveein procuring and forwarding petitions
to the Legislature as this Convention has earnestly
recommended f ouir -prayer will - be granted this win'
ter, and then the contest will be in every township
and ward between temperance and intemperance,
bet Ween vice and virtue, poverty and prosperity, and ,
none can doubt the issue,. There are_elements_ in.
the community which will airogethemselves on the
side Of temperance and virtue, of whiCh we now lit
tie dream. The victory will be triumphant and glo
rious;'and the fruits of it will be wide spread, con
ttaitnientiprosperity and peace... Signed.
