The CONNECTICUT FOUNTAIN" published
at New Haven, came to us this week in an
enlarged and improved form. To the East
ward the Temperance papers are numerous,
and if we can Judge from the Improvements
weekly made in them, they are well sustain
ed. This is as it should be; the community
acknowledge the necessity Of an Organ for the
furtherance of the cause, and it is, certainly,
their duty to sustain it manfully. Here it has
been different; our actual loss is about sixty
dollars per month. This is too much Tor our
share, and unless we are more efectually sus-
tanned this month, the Washingtonian stops.
On this point, read what the "Connecticut
Fountain" of last week, says:


"THE WASHINGTONIAN.


eve have spoken before of The Washinglo-
nian, an excellent paper recently started at
Washington City, D. c., which, during the
few brief months of its young existence, has
battled manfully in the cause of temperance
and humanity. At the end of the first two
months, the editors inform their readers, that
unless a more liberal support is brought to its
aid during the next month, the publication of
the paper must be given up. 1t would be
disgrace to any community to suffer such
paper as the Washingtonian to die of starva-
tion; and especially would the guilt of frati-
eide attach to the friends of temperance in our
national capitol, were they to strangle this
fearless and efficient soldier of the Water King
in the days of his early youth. Just such
paper as the Washingtonian, is needed at the
seat of Government, to stay the streams Of
drunkenness and licentiousness that flow into
that great reservoir of corruption from all parts
of the land.


II We had written thus far, when we took
up the next number of the Washingtonian sue
ceeding the one which contained the hint above
mentioned. This number contains the names
of four persons who had ordered the paper
stopped, for the reason, as the publishers think,
that, few weeks before, they had published
an advertisement for colored Temperance
Society!!! And is this the philanthropy
which reigns in the bosom Of American citi-
zens, at the very headquarters of democratic
freedom, and under the caves Of the Capitol
of the United States? o shame, where is
thy blush 2"


The Fountain" is in error in the last para
graph. We stated that we did not believe the
advertisement to be the true reason for with
drawing. Two of those men had secretly
brought the colored advertisement to the notice
of 'chite society, (both bearing the same
name,) for the purpose of inducing the latter
to believe that we had intended an insult by
publishing the advertisements At the same
time we gave it to be understood that one of
those actively opposed to the Washingtonian
was governed by sinister motives. Such is
fully proven to our satisfaction. The person
