puelso minim. TVTOTICE is hereby given that on the -Li Evening of Tuesday next, 3rd October, there will be held, at the Odd Fellows' Hall, a Public Meeting of persons favourable to the promotion of Temperance. The Hall will be opened at G o'clock, and the chair taken at half-past 6 precisely. Seats near the platform \vill be reserved for ladies. The following arc the Resolutions which are to be proposed to the Meeting. 1. That this meeting Approves of the principles and objects set forth in the following Resolutions, as sanctioned by his Excellency the Head of the General Government, and by both Houses of the General Legislature, without a dissentient voice. Whereas a Select Committee of this House (on Secondary Punishments) after taking abundant evidence on the subject, have reported that they "think it their duty to observe that the vice of drunkenness 15 admitted to be the main cause of crime in this Colony, where the misery and temptations of poverty are hardly known; and, without desiring to travel too far oat of the limits of the enquiry referred to them, they cannot fail to express a hope, that some Legislative measure may he adopted without delay, to arrest the progress of this principal incentive to crime : And whereas it cannot he denied that habitual intemperance is a prevalent vice amongst tiie Colonist population of New -Zealand, and the unceasing cause of degradation and ruin to individuals and of misery to families: And whereas the vice of intemperance is known to be extending among the Natives by means of its prevalence among the Colonists: And wherein there can Lc no doult that, in this country, the rice of intemperance is greatly promoted by the facilities for its indulgence by both races, which are afforded by the present state and administration of the Law with regard to the trade in Spirituous and Fermented Drinks: Ana whereas there is reason for deeming it probable, that amongst those of the Colonists who habitually indulge in this vice, a considerable proportion would hail witli satisfaction any Law designed to prevent them from gratifying their evil propensity, whilst their families woidd heartily rejoice at such Legislation if it were effectual: Therefore, this House is of opinion : Ist. That the question of restrictions on the trade in Spirituous and Fermented Drinks is not one of political econ< my alone, to be viewed solely with reference to the principles of free trade and of taxation for revenue, but is also one of morals, which to be considered by the Legislature as affecting the people in their social habits and general welfare, and likewise as affecting the good name of the Colony. 2nd. That, nevertheless, hearing in mind the constitutional right of the people to be bound by no laws, but such as are passed with their consent by their representatives ; and considering also, that the question of restrictions on the trade in spirituous and fermented drinks, was not specially in the thoughts of the people when they elected the present members of this House, the General Assembly cannot discreetly legislate on the subject without allowing time for the people to express their opinions and wishes thereon, by means of petitions to the Governor and both Houses of the Legislature. 3rd. That if, at the next meeting of the General Assembly, petitions from a considerable majority of the people should he received, paying that the law with regard to the trade in spirituous and fermented drinks may he so altered as to hinder effectually the indulgence of intemperate habits, it will be the duty of this House to bestow its most serious consideration on the whole subject, with the view of giving prompt and real effect to the wishes of the people us expressed by such petitions.
