NorwaIk——For nearly two years after
our prohibitory" law came into efi'ect, the
place seemed redeemed from liquor selling
and its efi'ects, but though town authori-
ties were ’ still right, prosecutions had
ceased, liquor was again sold, and iutem-
perauce on the increase. It is a dark
day for the; cause-in Norwalk, butcthe
fault lies at the door of the professed
friends of temperance, and at their door
only. As to the final result of the cause
there was nothing to fear, light was al-

(The foregoing reports indicate the
tenor of all those made, and are sulfi-
cicnt for the object had in view-in calling
them out, without extending this report
to a greater length. The facts arrived
at through the reports from different
parts of the State were these : our pro-
hibitory law is at the. present time only
partiallyenforced by its friends, and but
too -generaily disregarded by its enemies.
In. but few, if indeed’ in any towns, was
the open undisgnised sale admitted, yet
places for its sale bad revived, sellers be-
come emboldened, and less sliyof prose-
cution, that while the law was not doing
to only a very limited degree, the good’
it accomplished the first one or two years
after its enactment, and the good it might
do and was designed to do, it neverthe-
less still exercised ahealthful influence‘
-over t_lie_~.trafiicer and the intemperate,
. also prevented persons all over the State"
from engaging in the traffic, who would
otherwise do so, and thereby the wider
spread of drinking habits that would in-
evitably follow, thus doing incalcnlable
«good, in this respect, even if itfell for
short of lts complete work in ot.hers.4—
That.wliile in a. few cases, the enemies of
temperance were in power, and prevent
the execution of the law upon ofi'euders,
the responsibility of its non enforcement,
-and the present decleusion of interest in
the temperance cause, is-chiefly chargable
to temperance men, and until they arouse
themselves to do their duty and see the
law enforced as it was enforced for the
first one or two years after its enactment,
there is no hope of a better state of
things. The workings of the Law, had
abundantly established its great practical
worth as a temperance measure, and just-
ly entitled it to the united support of the
entire temperance public.)
The Business Committeehere submitted
the following resolutions :
Resolved, That as 9. Convention, we
recognize the good providence of God in
the great success of the Temperance
cause in this State, and express our lively
gratitude for His continued blessing.
Resolved, That the fruits of this be-
nevolent enterprise, are the prevention of
crime, pauperism, and taxation, and an
increase of social comforts, good order,
and sound morality throughout the State.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
Convention, that the prohibitory law of
this State, has been productive of great
good, and ought to be thoroughly and
vigorously executed in every place.
Resolved, That we will oppose to the
extent of our ability, any and every at-
tempt, let it come from wliece it may, to
repeal or modify our present prohibitory
law, or to substitute in its place a. license
law; the experience of nearly two cen-
turies having fully proved the total inef-
ficleucy of the license system to diminish
the trafilc or prevent the spreadof intem-
perance." ‘
Resolved, That the only kind of legis-
lation competent to reach the ti-afiic, and
thereby aid in the prosecution of tho
Temperance cause, is entire prohibition;
this truth a comparison of the results of
the two systems, license and prohibition
conclusively establishes. .
,1z€30"l’L‘etl, That the utmost vigilance
should be observed by the friends of tem-
perance throughout the State, in casting
their votes for members of the fo_rthcom-
ing Legislature, and that no uian can
maintain his temperance integrity, and
in any manner assist the opponents of
prohibition, to a seat in either branch of
that body. V '
Resolved, That we lament the culpable
indifference that so widely prevails in re-
lation to the enforcement of our prohibi-
tory law, and urgently call upon its
friends in every town in the State, to form
some efficient organization to assist the
civil authorities in bringing the law to
bear upon all offenders.
Resolved, That "this Convention ear-
nestly requests the Churches in the State,
of every denomination, to come to the
rescue of the the temperance cause, and
throw the weight of their influence in fa-"
vor of the universal support of our pro-
hibitory law. . "
Resolved, That this Convention rec-
ommend that arrangements be at once
made in every town for monthly lectures
on the subject of . temperance, and that
where it is practicable, a suitable agent
law for the siippressiou of the traflic.
Report accepted, and resolutibns taken
up separately, discussed by members from
different parts of‘ the" State, and adopted
by the Convention. The discussion elici-
ted some strong facts in support of pro-
hibitiou, establishing its value and utility
as a temperance measure, beyond cavil.
The following resolution was offered,
and un animoiisly adopted.
Resolved, That the President of the
kins, Esq., be requested to visit Fuirfield
County the present Spring, and present
the cause of temperance at such, times
and places as he may deem expedient.

3%‘ Law is only the expression of pub-
lic opiuion——-it may beof a false, a cor-
rupt, a fetteredpublic opinion, but pub-
lic opinion is its foundation. . Set public
opinion right, and the law will be right.‘
Here is the remedy againsttliat decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, which has just startled every
lover of liberty througboutthe free states.
When 15,000,000 of peoplegin the free
states are earnestly of the opinion that
freedom is better than slavery, and have
determined that freemen shall live by free
laborin the states. yet to be erected out of
the territories, the decision of five partizan
and sectional judges will not hinder their
purpose. That time -will come. The
President and his Cabinet, the Senate,
the Supreme Court, the slave, States, paid
officials and partisans may resist and
postpone it, but they cannot prevent it ;
it will surely come. ' Mr. Buchanan may
‘flatter himself and his friends, that the
conspiracy to relieve the loco foco party
from the odium of having assisted in ex-
tending slavery, will be ‘successful by
casting it upon t-lie Supreme Court ; that
the acljiiclicatioiis of flve southern slave-
holders can effect a permanent perversion
of the Constitution of the United States,
in the face of the opinions of every states-
man who has honored the couiitry since
her independence was ass"erted—-—that in-
strument, the creation of ourage fragrant:
with freedom, can be distorted, into a
means for establishing the, right of man
to own his fellowman. It is vain delusions.
The time will come, when that decision
will cease to have any binding force, and
will only have added another chapter to
the history of atrocious judges.
The loco foco press claim that this decis-
ion settles the qnestion, and there is noth-
ing left but to obey. Are they aware,
that though the Supreme Court of the
United States repeatedly decided the
charter of a. National Bank to be con-
stitutional, their party made war upon
it year after year, expressly on the ground
that is was unconstitutional. Have they
forgotten, that in the course of this war-
fare upon the Bank, Chief Justice Tauey
first became notorious by accepting the
post of Secretary of the Treasury, for the
purpose of performing an a_i-bitrary act,
which his predecessor, Duane, was re-
moved for refusing to do ? He has now
closed his career by trampling down all
estabished opinions, upon the right to
prohibit slavery in the territories and by
erecting a new barrier against the pro-
gress of freedom. Let them rear their
bulwarks around the divine institution of
sla.vcry—-the higher they are piled, the
more terrible will be their fall upon the
heads of those who erected them, when
the tide of emiguition, turning back from
the Rocky Mountains, shall flow south-
ward and overwhelm them.
