| Mr.. CHAPMAN, the agent Of the State Tenn
perance Society, has been ecturing 10 this
County for week or two past, on the subjec,
oil Temperance. Mr.. c. delivered two lee
lures in this village on Tuesday last, and is
one Of the most original, amusing aud inter
esting lecturers, we have ever heard. He has a
way OF his own, a manner Of his own, and
opinions Of his own, in the matter OF temper
ance, and bold, fearless, and frank way Of
expressing them. He has evidently made
himself thoroughly acquainted with his subject
in all its bearings, the whole length and breadth
Of il.
MIR. G. has visited as we understood him 10
say, every Jail and poor-house in the state Of
New York, in order to ascertain the effects OF
alcohol IN producing crime and pauperism in
the community. He has collected mass of
facts bearing on this subject, sufficient one
would think, 10 silence all dispute and put an
end 10 all eavil, as TO the evils Of inlemper-
anc.
He shows from public documents what, the
friends oftemperanee have always maintain
ed, that almost all the crime and pauperism
IN the country,a are caused, more or less remote
ly by the use Of alcoholic liquors.
Mr. c. is matter Of fact man. He deals
not in loose generalities and startling state
menis, but for every assertion he produces
proof,-quotes his authority, chapter and verse
In fact we never heard public lecturer who
showed himself more familiar with his sub
ject
His illustrations are familiar sometimes
homily, but always interesting or amusing, and
put to the purpose. He deals not in denunci-
alton of any man, or class Of men; even the
rumseler and drunkard are not abused or cal
led hard names, but he speaks freely of the
consequences Of their conduct, and there leaves
them, 10 have their conscences do the rest.
Mr.. Chapman is to lecture sometime longer
IN this county; and we say to all, whether
friend or foe to the cause, 60 and hear him.
No matter whether you agree with him or not
in his sentiments, you will be amply paid for
your time and trouble, and will return salts
fed, that you have been we'll compensated for
both.
