NEW HAMPSHIRE. The members of the 

 New Hampshire Temperance League held their 

 second annual session at Concord on March 18, 

 1880, to see the progress of the work which 

 they have undertaken, and deliberate on the 

 best means that should be employed to insure 

 success. The meeting was fully attended, and, 

 at various times during its deliberations, prom- 



for this traffic. 



10. That we respectfully request the Attorney-Gen- 

 eral, when a grand jury refuses to indict a rum-seller 

 on positive evidence, to report the facts to the court, 

 or instruct the solicitor so to do ; and, if no new panel 

 is ordered, to present on "information" for immedi- 

 ate trial all cases sustained by evidence furnished by 

 the officers of the League, and not passed upon by the 

 grand jury.

 propriate committee, were adopted: 



Resolved, 1. That moral suasion is a great and im- 

 portant instrumentality for promoting the advance- 

 ment of the temperance cause, to be constantly used 

 and never abandoned. 



2. That to the end there may be a full and complete 

 triumph of the temperance cause, the places of temp- 

 tation must be closed, the principles of prohibition 

 recognized, and the prohibitory law fearlessly, impar- 

 tially, and energetically enforced.
