The one from Plymouth, after long Hurry represents the statement of the Farmer respecting large number not favoring the manner in which the cause of temperance is carri- ed on as not being true, and then in most ridicu- lous and slanderous manner acknowledges that party opposed to his views sufficiently strong to rule the destnes of the state have set the legislature the right track.

Once more, the Farmer is charged with finding fault with the clergy for preaching temperance. This charge upon the writer as being totally false Temperance Is the doctrine would have all men preach and practice; but where do you find from one end of the sacred writings to the other an attempt made to force upon the world total abstinence did Christ or his apostles ever recommend 1t?
