We have entered upon the work of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with an earnest desire to alleviate their condition, by seeing that they are better fed, watered, and protected from the inclemency of the winter weather we have in this climate. The moans of the dumb animals in their helpless, miserable condition, have arisen to the ears of the Lord God of Hosts, and He has not been deaf to their appeals. He has put it into the hearts of good men and good women of our State, who use a part of their means and opportunities in the positions in which they are placed for the repeal of all abuses to animals.
The fifth anniversary of this Society dawns with brighter hopes and better auspices than any preceding year of its existence. The reason for this favorable aspect may be found in the fact that the incessant labor of your officers and members has wrought upon the public mind an awakening sense of duty toward the dumb animals, which has been lying dormant for years past, and would still have slept, but for the movement of a few of those restless spirits who are always seeking to do the greatest good to the greatest number.
Meeting at City Hall. To the Friends of the Union. The citizens of Bangor, one and all, who are opposed to the measures of the Northern Abolitionists, and who are desirous publicly, and in the language of Washington "indignantly" to "frown upon the first dawning of any attempt to alienate one portion of our country from the rest; or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts;" who hold to the preservation of our national compact, in its original spirit and purity, as a sacred and inviolable duty, and as the only ark of our political salvation;--who disclaiming for themselves, protest against the right of other citizens, of any one State, to interfere, directly or indirectly, in the domestic relations of the citizens of any other State; and who feel pledged by every obligation sacred to men of honor and freemen to support, at all hazards, that fundamental article in our sacred Constitution, that "the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union, a Republican form of government; and shall protect each of them against invasion, and against domestic violence,"--are requested to meet at the City Hall, on Saturday evening, the 29th August, at 7 o'clock, to take into consideration the measures most proper to be adopted, to counteract the attempts now making by these individuals to create civil discord and to convey to our brethren of the South the most solemn assurance of the public reprobation of their proceedings, and the insignificance of their numbers, and their utter inability to produce any public action among the independent and intelligent citizens of Maine, inconsistent with the rights of the Southern States.
With this number, the present editors of the senior class finish their labor on the INDEX. As the senior class started this paper we hope that the next class will continue to keep it up, as they can scarcely realize what a great credit it will be to them. And as the older it grows, we hope it will increase in interest so that it may obtain a firm foothold as a model school paper. There is sufficient ability in the next senior class to make it a very pleasing paper. Wishing the paper good success, we now give over our official duties as editors of the INDEX to our successors, whom we congratulate as brother-editors.
In presenting this the first number of the INDEX, published by the pupils of the Bangor High School, we solicit the patronage of our friends and ask their co-operation, which will be essential to the success of our paper. The public has ever been ready to help us in all our undertakings, and we urge all our friends to subscribe for and advertise in our paper, which we will try hard to make instructive and entertaining. We will endeavor to bring the principal events which happen in school life, before the curious public, and thus help them remember their own school days, and let them see whether we have made any progress since the time they themselves were in the power of the school-master.
