We take the liberty of making the follow
ing letter public, with the'hope that il may
arouse the dormant energies Of the friends Of
Total Abstinence in this section. Mr.. Cough
has had great opportunities Of being well in
formed on the subject of which he speaks, and
we are sure his opinions will be well received
by all true friends Of this mighty cause.--PuHs.


BosroN, July 80, l845.
To The Editors Of the Westinghouse:


DEAR SIRs: I have regularly received your
valuable paper since its publication; but must
apologize that have not before this sent you
my subscription money, and plead absence from
home, and constant labor, as my excuse.


like the tone and spirit Of your paper much,
and i feel it is important that, in the District
of Columbia, there should be good paper de-
voted to the great principles Of our cause, well
sustained. ! do hope that your hands may be
upheld by the good temperance people OF the
District. In my experience have found that
a well-conducted Temperance paper, ioelI sns-
tained, is Of incalculable benefit to the great
cause, and whenever such paper is dropped,
from the want of patronage, our cause receives
a blow, greater than is anticipated by those
who do not think as much as they ought on
the question. My earnest hope is, that, in the
District, we may have an organ Of our princi-
pies and sentiments, to liue, and liue long.
send you enclosed ten dollars, to pay my one
years subscription, and the balance to be EN-.
ployed as you see fit. would like to see a
copy placed weekly into the hands of every
member of Congress during the session; and
this can be done with little exertion. II
others will aid for the purpose of accom-
plishing this, | will agree to give. ten dollars
pose. Hoping that God may prosper you In
great enterprise,
am, yours, for Total Abstinence,


JOHN B. COUGH.
