Go to Baltimore and see now our happy wives and
families. Only look at procession on the 9th OF
April when we celebrated our anniversary. Six thou
sand men, nearly half of them reformed within year,
followed by $500 boys of all ages TO give assurance to-
the world that the next generation shall be sober But
where were wives that occasion al home, shut
up with hungry children in rags as a year agol No,
No! but in carriages riding round the streets to see
their sober husbands!
My family were in hack and carried apples, cakes,
&c to them, and wife said how happy all look why
husband there is - all dressed up; and only think,
saw old - in the procession as happy and smart as
any Of them, and she went teling me who she
had seen. And where do you think the grog sellers
wives were were they out Not they! Some of
them peeped out from behind their curtains! We cut
down the that day in Baltimore, under ground
not on top of the ground leaving stump, but under
ground, roots and all!
We have not seen six drunSards staggering in the
streets since we have been in Boston, AMI we have
been all round even in Ann-street They must hide

TuSr--OH Huadrcd
Before thy throne we boast the name
OfFREEMEN God, thy rown Is Just
Immorals, break your bonds of shame
Arise, nebuaes from the dust
Slavery and death the cup contains;
Dash TO the earth the poisoned bowl
Softer than silk are iron chains,
Compared with those that chaie the soul.
Hosanuas, Lord, to thee sing,
Whose power the giant tiend obeys.
What countless thousands tribute bring,
For happier homes and brighter days
Thou wilt not break the bruised reed,
Nor leave the broken heart unbound
The wife regains husband freed
The orphan clasps father found
Spare Lord, the houghtess, guide the blind,
Til man no more shall deem II just
To live, by forging chains 70 bind
His weaker brother IN the dust.
With natures draught your cobleis iii,
And pledge the world that We are free
God Of eternal truth, WILL
Our cause Is thine, ourtrJstI IN thee
