The State Temperance Convention htdd at Indianapolis last week was, unexpectedly to many; attended by a large delegation.

An address to the people of In liana precedes the resolutions. Let every temperance advocate pres-rve the paper containing them, as futute reference to them may be necessary. SnOW Drift.

To the People of Indiana. Your Fellow-Citizkns, alike interested with you in all that concerns the. adversity or prosperity oi our ötate, üsne, in that spirit of kindness which should always characterjze our conduct towards one another, to address you on the sub ject which has occasioned our assemblage t0"(ia . . m It is useless at this enlightened period wo.., v..-. vi facts, or to adduce facts, or to adduce argurnents to eho w the enortni ty of the evils t arising irom ti;e nauuueture arm cue ci ! intoxicating liquors. The critne and misery wrucii are us legitimate and Btsolule I results are so apparent thst no man ol j common reflection can deny their exist-j ence 1 ine great question. :nen, and the one to 0 wnicri we especially direct your atten..it.. 1 it.,. . . tiou, is, "How shall this crime and mis ery be most effectually banished from our State?" All know that every attempt to accomplish it by means of license laws has failed. Indeed, it can no longer be urged, as it was a few years ago, that ihz revenue derived from a license to stll intoxicating drinks is a compensation for the mischief it indicts, because our Legislature haa already repudiated the idea that a Chiistiau Government should receive money as the price of iniquity. The efforts of all the various associations for the promotion of Temperance (although they have done much good) Lave not been sufficient. We think, upon proper reflection, thnt all must be forced to the conviction that it can only be done by the enact ment of a Prohibitory Laic; and that guch laws TB "ecn uCCCS,ul. e most ample tes timouy is tumished by the expriuc of those States where they now ex"st. It is established, beyond all controversy, thai the effect of such laws has been to close tipliug houses in a great measure to empty the puor houses uf their inmates to greatly lessen the number of criminals to reduce the taxes of the people at least one-third in amount to reform hundreds of inebriates, and to prevent thousands of the rising generation becoming drunkards. When such have been the inevitable results of prohibitory Legislation in other Slates, why shall uot indinna pursue the same course, and thus advance al! the 2re,il interests w hich prunioie. the prosperity and contribute to the happi ness of a people? The new Constitution of our Slav net only secures the right to enact such a law, but enjums it 85 a duty on the law making power to do so. It declares that the government is institued to secure the peace, and well-being of the People, 1. .-.--4.. II.. and that the Legislature shall "encourage. by all suitable means, moral and intellectual improvement." which can be done in no other way so completely as by & prohibitory Liquor Law. S far as the Constitution of the United States is concerned, the Supreme Court, that tribunal which seliUs all questions arising under its provisions, has already decided, in the following opiu ion expressed by Judge Taney, that, "If any State deems the retail and internal j traffic in ardent spirits injurious lu its citizens, and calculated to produce idle neirf. vice, or debauchery, I see nothing in the Constitution of the United States to prevent it from regulating or restrain ing the traffic, or from prohibiting it .al together, if it think proper." As to ine rigm, men, meie can se no discussion. that is settled. The propriety and expediency of the Uw inav, to some, be a matter of inves tigation: bul, if so, the friends of the measure court that investigation, con scious as they are that not a single argument, founded on just views of the. happiness and propeity of the people, can be given agninst it. Yet, we are aware that many obstacles exist which must be overcome before the passage of such a law can be secured. Prominent among these obsiacles. are. 1st. existing prejudices and the alleged pecuniary interests of those engaged in the Liquor Traffic; and 21. the present organization of political parties. As to rie First Many of our most industrious and well meaning citizens have be-n led to believe that such laws are on infringement of their peisonal rights, that their vrovitions ore such as to place

it in the power of Miy person who may see proper to execute it, to enter t hi-i r private houses and to muke search foi and destroy anv liquor hieb tmv le f., und
