WASHINGTON, August IL, 1S45.


GENTLEMEN: am one redeemed from the
thraldom of Intemperance, through the blessed
instrumentaity of the Temperance pledge.
NV income is one dollar day, with which
am enabled to enjoy life conlentedly, and sup
port small family comfortably. And as |
view my adherence to Teetotalism as the basis
of my earthly happiness; and as also con.
slider the WAsHINGToNIAN one Of the most po-
tent engines to keep this cause alive among
us, | herewith enclose, out of my humble
means, $5 as my subscription, hoping that
many of our good friends in the District will
come forward and do so likewise. From the
independent, straightforward appeal you made
in your paper of the Cd instant, as well as
from my slight acquaintance with you. am
satisfied you would not have come out IN the
manner you did, if stern realities had not war
ranted it.


Shall we allow it to be said, by our enemies,
that the Teetotalers have become perfect cur
mudgeons, and are void of generosity? No!
perish the thought! | will guarantee that at
least one hundred in this District will come
us fit channel to promulgate our doings, and
to fortify US in this good cause by the aid of
your columns.


iCuVS yOu my AoilC3 W., sAos sAS w ~
rators in this enterprise, in whose vocabulary
there is no such word as "fail," may know
that this is no finesse of yours to sustain the
WAsHINGroN1AN, but that all that is herein
stated may be substantiated as fact. However,
do not wish my name made known to any
others but those who will at least be as liberal
as myself; being actualed in this step by hon
est integrity, with the single view to the ad-
vancement of Temperance, and not by any
sinister motive whatever.


am, yours, very respectfully,


FREscA.


We have no comment to make on the above.
We had stated our condition, under the edito-
rial head, previous to receiving the commune
cation. The friends of the cause can do with
the matter as they may think proper; person.
ally, it is not of the least moment to U.S. Our
opinion is, thatifthe friends ofthe paper would
come up and support it efficiently for few
months and use some energy in advancing its
subscription list, the WAsHINGToN1AN would
be permanently established.
