The object of the gutheriug is to con aider the Alcoholic Liquors Control Bill, passed last session — how it has wortted and what cau vow bo done with it. Haying fuiiy discussed tho matter a resolution will be proposed, and possibly adopted, with a view of influencing, or strengthening the Tempeiance Party iv the House of Representatives, aud shewing the Go vernment what further legislation is required to give equality, and freedom to those who believe iv tho greater importance of morality, sobriety, and righteousness of tho people, than the groed and selfishness of tho few.
