User-Contributed Transcription once in every twenty years. For these and [kindred]others considerations it is that every friend of manshould take up arms against a common foeand expel him from our borders."The mischief which intemperance does to oneindividual should be sufficient to arrouseall to labor for its suppression. Behold one of itsvictims a drunkard a miserable slave ofan insatiable appetite. He is the victim of apassion stronger than the love of money.For it he will sacrifice his vast estates evento the last cent. It is stronger than the loveof woman. At its bidding he will abuse &neglect even to death, the angel whom hehas sworn to love. The love of honor is strong,but for the sake of his idol the drunkard willleave the fairest laurels. No feeling or passonever obtains to complete a supremacy over a man.
