The Fountain is being circulated among
SO many OF the free citizens of this happy
countrys that ii 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 are the uncompromising
advocates of Temperance on the plan OF
Total Abstinence from intoxicating liquor
as a beverage. We expect to urge this prin-
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
W. elsh to submit the matter to the sover-
eign people. Thus, we feel it our duty to
sstates our grand object. We believe, in its
accomplishment, it will carry many other
very important matters, OF interest to the
welfare. Of every class Of our country, and
,perpetuate our free Institutions. -
- But it may be important for us to state
what we will not do We will not inter
tfere with the religious or political opinions
of any. We only wish to carry our prin-
ciples to them where they now are, to bene-
fit them in time, and thereby fit them better
to prepare for their final account.

To THE INHABITANTS OF THE DIsTRICT
-TAKElNorCE.--We feel bound to intro
duce for your consideration the propriety
Of having the Charters Of each city SO framed
that the voters in each Ward shall determine
with regard to the sale of Intoxicating
liquors within their bounds. To this we
should think no friend Of liberty or repub-
licanism can object. We shall be pleased
to receive the opinions for and against such
measure, and will insert in our paper any
respectful communication. 1t is light and
