TEMPERANCE IN MORE.

It is stated that the w ashing,on Temperance
Society. established within year. now contains
more than a thousand men, besides nearly a thou
snnd more who have joined its au1iiiaries. estab-
i.hed within the last two months. The g Hocard
temperance Society" a society of recen, origin,
numbers also over thousand M mbcrs Andten
twelve other Societies in the city. formed within
six months, contain perhaps thousand more. So
that there are abou, three thousand fire hundred
persons scho have signed the Total Abstinence
Pledge tn Baltimore ,oitkin fer months. This
is independent OF any NOV ment among the Roman
Catholics with whom there has been some action,
though not vigorous as in Washington, Phla-
dslphia, and New York.
IL appears by the following extract, that the
work is not TO stop here, but measures are con
templated which must give new and still more
powerful impulse to this great and glorious cause.
" The friends Of Temperance contemplate hav-
ing Grand Cold Water Procession in Baltimore
on the 5th Of April neat, the anniversary OF the
formation Of the Washington Temperance Society.
This Society intend inviting all the Total Absti-
hence Societies of The city, and all the cold water
me- in Maryland, and Of the whole country, TO at.
| tend and Join in the procession of that day. We
would like TO see delegates from every State in the
Union. Indeed an address to the friends Of Tenn
perance in the United States may be expected from
the Washington Temperance Society. inviting
them from Maine to Louisiana to be in Baltimore
on the 5th of April next.
From present indications have no hesitation in
expressing my belief that there will be fIom 5000
to 900 persons who will march in the great pro-
cess,on on that occasion. On the same day it 10
expected that the corner stone Of splendid Tenn
perance Hall will be laid in Baltimore. a commit
tee having already been appointed by the Washing
ton Society, to make arrangements in the way OF
Purchasing lot, &C., for that purpose, On the

WING COUNTY CONVENTION.

Our Wing friends will bear in mind that Friday,
the 10Th instant. (to-morrow) is the day named by
the Central COMMITTEES, for the meetings Of the
Wings in the different precinct. appoint dele
gates to convention which will assemble at the
Court House, Saturday next, to nominate can
didates for the Assembly. The weather is exceed
ing unpleasant, the roads shocking, and, in word,
" winter sits lingering in the lap of spring" much
longer than in days past, when the Richmond
Enquirer kept vigilnnt eye on such matters; and
yet, we would fan hope thu, the spirit which ami
mates the Wings of Berkeley is not to be depress-
ed by muddy roads, spurts of snow or northern
blasts. Let every Wing be at his post on Friday,
in his precinct meeting, and more especially let
every delegate be at the Court House on Saturday,
in order that full effect may be given to the wishes
Of every portion Of the county.
Wo will thank the Secretaries Of the precinct
meeting, to send the record Of their proceedings,
by their delegates, Tor publication in the paper o!
next week.
