its operation in the countries which have adopted it; the progress of the agitation in favour of it which has begun in our mother country; the provisions in detail whereby it has been made effectual for its purpose; the objections to it which still impede its enactment in some parts of America where opinion concerning it is divided; its effects on the production and saving of capital where it has been some years in force; its probable effects in the same way in New Zealand ; its probable effects on the revenue of this Colony, and the means whereby, through alterations of the tariff, such effects might he made productive of gain instead of loss ; and many other particulars which it appears needless to enumerate here. -a our own Province, as a means of disseminating information, we intend to promote public meetings for discussion, and to make use of the press as far as that may be in our power. We arc happy to inform you that a member of our body contemplates the fortnightly publication of a little work devoted to tl ‘s object; and we arc in hopes of being able to transmit copies of the first number, by the next trip of the Steamer Ntbon, to such persons in all the other Provinces as are known to sympathise with the Auckland League. As soon as any similar association shall be formed in any other Province, we beg that they will do us the favour to correspond with us, informing us from time to time of the state of the subject in their Province, and not hesitating to ask us for any co-operation with them which it may be in our power to give. It may be desirable that Leagues formed in the several Provinces should concert the form of a Petition to the several branches of the General Assembly ; but on this and many other matters of a practical character, which will readily occur to those who are earnest in the cause, we respectfully invite suggestions and aid. We are of course fully aware that even the unanimity of one or two Provinces would not suffice to carry the question in the legislature, but that it is one which the whole of New Zealand has to decide, and not by the voice of any authorities or any class, but by that of the people at large, from whom, in the name of the Auckland League, we hereby request a diligent consideration of the subject now brought before them, and such co-operation with the people of this Province us they may be willing and able to establish by means of like Societies corresponding with eur own. By order of the Council, ARTHUR G. PURCHAS, Hon. Secretary. Office of the Auckland League of Temperance, Princes-street, October 17, 1854.
