3 FOR THE r.lrcpr,ELp EEovlRER.

Mr. Adams--E see by your paper of April S0th that he Medical Society of this county have engaged in the cause of Temperance. It appears by one of their resolutions that they have appointed a committee of
 vc.lo act in concert with other committees and ind- viduas in the formation ofa Temperance Society for Liichfeld county am informed that the clergy of the North Consociaton of the county have appointed similar committee. The South Consociaon will doubtless do the same. A committee from the pro- ession of Law is expected; and it would be very ser viceable if every class of men could be represented wien the meeting is held for forming the constitution Farmers have much influence, and can do much--. No small portion of the spirits drank in oDr country passes through the hands of farmers and is drank by them, or by their workmen. The Mechanics and Manufacturers are also deeply concerned, and we hope will take an active part in the wort.
 Let the society be formed when it may, many of all classes will doubtless become active members. But this is not all that is desirable We wish every man to take part in the formation of the society that each may feel that il is his own work and t.at his reputation an individual and member of a pro- fession is concerned in the success oi the object
 The meeting for forming constitution, and organ zing the society will be held as soon, i, is presumed the different classes are prepared 10 act Some of the Litchfeld gentlemen, hope, will give us early notice.
 Mercantile men, composing class or profession, ! have purposely neglected to mention, as wish to dwell moment on the importance of their o-opera- ton. Their power Is almost unlimited. To expect mat a ss can, al once, be hroagtto bear upon our common enemy, is perhaps too mHch. But part, and an important part, think, we may reasonably expect.
