[TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT]. At the meeting of the Church of Peterboro... [Peterboro, N.Y., July 7th, 1849]. Printed broadside on plain white paper. Approximately 164 x 199 mm. Minor rubbing to upper and right margins. This small broadside lists three resolutions against a clerk and the owner of a local store for selling alcoholic beverages and voting for anti-abolitionists: ?1st. Resolved, that the clerk, as well as the owner, of the store, in which is carried on the traffic in intoxicating drinks, is out of his place, when preaching the gospel; and is especially offensive, when presuming to preach it to the ?Church of Peterboro? - a Church, which as ever maintained high and strong testimonies against this accursed traffic??
