 Whereas, the use and traffic in Intoxicating 
 Liquors as beverages are injurious to the best 
 interests of society anc* dishonoring to God, 
 and demand for their suppression the active 
 and united exertions of the friends of human- 
 ity and religion ; 
 
 And Wheiras, the various temperance organ- 
 izations in this County have the common 
 object of suppressing the vice of intemperance 
 and trafHc in intoxicating liquors, but have no 
 common mode of action or unity of effort in 
 pursuit of that object; 
 
 . And Whereas, the institution of a central 
 association, in v/hich the various temperance 
 organizations may be represented, and through 
 vriiich they may combine their energies, con- 
 centrate tiieir operations, and express their 
 v>'ishes and decision, would enable them to 
 attain that unanimity of sentiment and unity 
 of acli(s\ so essential to success : 
 
 Therefore, be it .liesolved, That a county 
 league or association be instituted for the at- 
 tainment of the objects mentioned in the fore* 
 going preamble.
