The Fountain is being circulated among
so many of the free citizens OF this happy
country that it becomes necessary for us
clearly to define our position, especially so
as we have now made arrangements by
which it will have much more extensive
circulation, inasmuch as we now issue a
daily and weekly.


Well, then, we arc the uncompromislng
advocates Of Temperance Oh the plan OF
Total Abstinence from intoxicating liquor
as beverage. We expect to urge this prln-
ciple upon the attention Of the whole com
munity. We shall urge the propriety OF the
abolition OF all license for the sale, as be-
verage, Of Intoxicating drinks; but IN this
we wish to submit the matter t" the sover-
eign people. Thus, we feel it our duty to
state our grand object We be eve, N It's
accomplishment, it will carry m9ny other
very important matters, Of interest to the
welfare Of every class Of our country, and
perpeiuate our free Institutions.


But it may be important for us to state
what we will not do. We will not inter-
fere with the religious or political Opinions
of any We only wish to carry our prin-
ciples to them where they now are, to be G.
fit them. in time, and thereby fit them better
to prepare for their final account.
