The REV. DIR. Hunt closed the proceedings with
saeech. 10 which il would be injustice to attempt
0arbled statement
To the cause which formed the main, and indeed
The only topic of the preceding speakers, he added
one. which in our opinion, carried with 1t far more
weight viz the vile spirit Of speculation and mo-
ronov which actuates too many Of the -adonng
community.
Upon the whole, the meeting had more the tone OF
,emperance debating society, than one assembled to
consider the subject for which they were ostensibly
convened but any thing which tends te draw pub
lie attention TO this important topic, must be benefi-
cial
II il rather remarkable, that on subject OF such
general interest, and which may be said to be purely
casual, all the orators should be Reverends Is the
act OF public speaking confined to the pulpit and the
