annually to this subject, and we might hope at last the attention of the nation would be aroused. This mOdo commends itself to ladies and matronS who might by this means unobrusively redress the wrongs of suffering humanity. Thousands of.tl1eir sex are condemned to languish Sagh life devoid of hope through the intkmperance of others, and to die a thousand deaths before death relieves them. These evils cannot at once be removed ,but ough. to be prevented by skilful and ju- dicious anticipation. The name of val ued friend might be perpetuated by tie fund, which annual interest appropriated in books or medal by the faculty of col lege to the successful competitor would excite and reward the efforts of genius. Thus would it continue to produce yearly wholesome fruit for the healing of this nation, long after the hands which plant ed it had mouldered in the dust.
 Let the whole moral strength of the nation be arrayed against the evil. Let petition be presented to congress with million of names for an increase of duties on imported spirits, and an excise on SuCH aS are OI uOHtoStiC QtStiIIdI1OH" Let the money thus raised be appropri- ated to promote internal improvement, or education, or some other object as shall be most popular. Let not a mo- ment be lost. Let the Doctors show their skill and prowess in fighting against the monster of intemperance. Let them unite and resist the alarming invasion and expel a common enemy. God and our country demand it. Let teachers and mothers especially show to their ten- der charge, how every step of this re- morseless fend is in crime, and impuri- ty, and cruelty, and blood, till boiling passion shake their little frames, till they are nerved to hold in the conflict the dagger of defence and defiance for this hell engendered tyrant, if he ever dies, must be stabbed by infant hands. Let every patriot and every Christian lend instantly his utmost efforts to- this serv- lice. Let every friendly heart be enga- ged, and every generous arm exerted till, at length, belaboured on all sides
 this Christian ,Abaddon shall be ovcr- thrown and curse. the earth no longer with his existance. PRo PATR1A.
