ADDRESS TO THE INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL.
TT is with considerable diffidence that the COM-
MITTEE of the CLARENCE HALL TEMPERANCE
SOCIETY thus appeal to the sympathies of the Public on be-
half of the above Institution. Nothing but the extreme neces-
sity of this critical juncture could possibly induce them to do
so. It is now pretty generally known that the Clarence Hall
has been erected at a cost of £3500, principally by a number
of working men, with a view to afford to the operative classes
the means of accommodation for moratalad-mental improve-
ment, and is now occupied by tbperemperance Society on
Monday and Wednesday evenin -''heing devoted to the propa-
gation of temperance princi st and Saturday evenings to
literary and musical ent inments, which have hitherto
been patronised in a nner worthy their great object—
namely, the elevatig f man. Nevertheless, there are liabili-
ties to a serionfrafimunt still resting on the building, limiting
the efforts and retarding the progress of the Society, to re-
deem it from which? the more effectually to extend their
sphere of action, and in order that the Hall may in reality be-
come the
.property of the public, and be devoted to the cause
of human improvement in perpetuity, the Committee have re-
solved upon the universal course of canvassing the inhabitants
of every house in the town for pecuniary assistance.
The above step may appear ulterior ; however, necessity dic-
tates it, therefore it must be. The Committee cherish the
most lively hopes that the undertaking will be responded to
with an alacrity commensurate with its paramount import-
ance, seeing that intemperance is the occasion of much social
and domestic misery, depravity, and vice, the prolific source of
the worst of crimes, and one of the greatest barriers to the
happiness and intelligence of the people that ever afflicted the
family of man. Sufficient proofs a these alarming facts are
exhibited in the cadaverous and emaciated appearance, neg-
lected homes, and crime-stained. practices of the unhappy vic-
tims of this truly awful state of things ; and numerous are the
widows and orphans who are thus abandoned to the world, to
share its sympathies, Or sink beneath the sorrows which op-
press them. The Committee feel deeply grateful to those who
have contributed to the progress of Temperance on former oc-
casions, and beg to state that much Wood has been done, and
many of both sexes reclaimed from habits of intemperance, and
rendered, together with their families, comfortable and happy.
Yet much, very much, remains to be done; therefore, as the
RuPPly has not been adequate to the demand, the importance
of the principle we seek to establish, and the magnitude of the
evils we wish to destroy, imperatively demand increased exer-
tions. We make the present appeal in the fondest hopes of
ultimate success. The philanthropist can never enage in a
more noble and praiseworthy undertaking. What can be more
commendable than to befriend poor fallen and degraded man ?
The physical condition of the people cannot be materially im-
proved, so long as the homes and practiCes of the working
_ "ullv urge

classes are so morally impure
