TEMPERANCE work which has been
achieved by temperance societies under their
original organization, afforded the most ample
announcement to its friends to perscvere as
they had begun. The ultra measures which
through excessive, and we think misguided
zeal, have more recently been agltated, have,
we regret to perceive, created languor with
reference to the great work OF reform, from
which the most unhappy consequences are
likely to ensue. We trust that the friends OF
temperance here will act prudently, and
let sound judgment control their zeal.
The following (says the Commercial Ad-
vertiser,) is translation of an editorial artl-
Gle in the "Aftonoladt," published at Stock
holm of the 2lst of June. 1t shows with
what interest and respect the eXertions made
in this country in the cause of temperace, are
regarded in Europe.
"a interesting proof of that spirit OF phllan-
thropy which in the United States OF America
embraces so many of the dearest and most
important objects of human eXertlon, IS affor-
ded by mission to Europe, on behalf OF the
temperance and other societies IN America, III
order to give impulse to the cause OF temper
ance, and to obtain information respecting the
present state of that cause IN the dlfterent
countries of cur continent. An American
gentleman, Mr. Baird, from Philadelphia,
equally distinguished by his literary acquire
ments, and by his excellent character, having
with his family spent some months at Pans
has undertaken this journey with the view al
luded to above. Mr.. Baird has lately made
short stay at this place, after having visited
London, Hamburger and Copenhagen, and by
the American charge d'affairs at our court,
Mr.. Hughes, he has had the honor of being IN
troduced to his majesty the King, and to ms
royal Highness the crown Prince, both which
august persons testified their interest and
sympathy for the object of r. Bairds nus
sion. On this occasion, Mr.. Baird had the
honor of delivering to his majesty and to his
royal highness, copies of a work published Dy
him at Paris this year, entitled Historic des
Societies de Temperance des Etats Unis fA-
merique, and his majesty was pleased to eX-
press his wish to see work so well calcula-
ted to convey anidea Of the greatness and I'M
portance of the moral reform brought about by
the temperance societies, translated into our
language. As a testimonial of his sympathy
for that great and good cause, toward winch
the best energies Of Mr.. Baird are directed;
his majesty presented him with a large medal
of gold, having his majesty's likeness on the
one side, and on the other this inscription
Iuos quorum meruere labores."
