ont from their society the man who visits

omnipotent. And by what power ye
mothers, and wives, and daughters, shall
1 invoke your aid: Shall | carry YOU
to the house of the d.unkard, and point
you to his weeping and broken hearted
wife, his suffering and degraded children,
robcd in rags and poverty and vice
Shall go with your to the almshOuse,
the orphan asylum, and to the retreat Of
the insane that your scnsibility may be
rouscd! Shall ask you to accompany
me to the penltentlary and the prison
house, that YOU may there behold the
end Of lntcmperanceE Nay, shall /
draw back the curtain and disclose to
YOU the scene OF the drunkard's death
bed! Mo- will not demand OF you a
task so painful ul:-rather let me remind
YOU, that YOU are to become the mothers
of our future heroes and statesmen, phi
losophers and dlvines, lawyers and ply
sicans and shall they be enlcebled in
body, dcbauched in morals, dsordercd
in intellect, or healthy, pure, and full of
mental energy! III Is Tor you to decide
This question. You have the future dos
tiny Of our beloved country in your hands.
Let me cntrcat you then, for Gods sake,
and for your country's sake, not to ally
yourselves to the drunkard, nor to put
the cup to the mouth Of your offspring,
and thereby implant in them a craving
for ardent spirit, which, once produced,
is never eradicated rather "bring them
to your family altar, and make them
swcal eternal hatred TO ardent spirit"
Finally, call upon every sober man,
woman and child, to raise their voices,
their hearts and their hands in this sa-
cred cause, and never hold their peace,
never cease their prayers, never stay
their cXcrtIons, till intcmpcrance shall be
banishcd.

WILLIAMS, TIE SURVIVING CAP-
TOROF ANDRE.

During late visit to Newly ork, had
the qualification of an introduction and of
several interviews with DAVID WILLIAMS,
! the only survivor of the three mitiamen
who arrested Major Andre; and as he is
now subject Of general interest, | shall
attempt some description Of him, IN the
belief that 1t will be gratifying to the pub
lie.
lie is now II years of age; of good
appearance, with healthy and some
what ilorid countcnance, and was in his
youth no doubt, what would be called
handsome; rather thicksct, and measur-
ed, | should suppose, when erect, about
five feet eight inches; but now, owing to
the rheumatism, he stoops much. lie
walks quite lame, leaning on cane
which was presented to him, and which
was made from the wood of the chew
auX-dcirieze placed by the Americans,
in the revolution, near West Point, to
prevent the British vessels from ascend
ing the river. His whole appearance Is
such as will Justify the application to him
of the language Of Shakespeare;
Though look old, yet am strong and lusty;
For in my youth never did apply
Hot and rebeIIious liquor to my blood
Nor did not with unblushng forehead WOO
The means of weakness and debility;
Therefore my aye is as Il lusty winter,
Frosty, but kindly.
! spent several hours with him at diff
lerent times at the Ninth Ward Hotel in
Ncw-Nork, where he stayed while in
that city, sometimes alone and some
times in large companies, and there arc
few men with whom | take more pleas
ure, than | did with him. lie is man
of very general information, and has ev-
idently been steady and close reader
of newspapers. lie has thorough
knowledge Of all the political events
which have occurred in the world for
many years. With the politics Of this
country, generally, and with that of this
State particularly, he is well acquainted.
While was with him, saw hlm intro
duccd to large number who had called
to see him, and was pleased at the easy
and happy manner in which he received
them. also saw him introduced to some
ladies', and the native and unaffected
politcncss with which he approached
them, and touched their checks "a PRIV
ilcge which he claims of all the ladies'
to whom he is presented, and winch Is
no doubt always willingly granted pleas
cd and interested all present.
was present when an interview took
place between him and a man named
Abraham Lc Foy, who was in the army
at West Point, at the time of the dctcc-
tion of Arnold. II was affecting to see
the greetings which they gave each 9th
cr. aud heart stirring to hear them talk
of days gone by, of hardships suffered,
and priyations endured, in the cause of
liberty. The fire ofpatriotlsm appeared

vicor. aud the tears which dropped
from their aged aud bcdlmmed eyes
were answered by like tokens of feeling
