The gentleman seemed to take pride in being

sons can have witnessed the mighty in
hucnces of the, Temperance cause upon
the morals of the community, and upon.
the happiness of Thousands of families
without rejoicing IN their success, and
wishing them God speed. 1t is noble
work; and if lhose..engaged in it will steer

duals are too ap, TO introduce into all works
of bcncvolencc, it cannot fail 10 prove-the
greatest blessing which has been extended
TO poor human nature.

of progressed; and we know too, that this
was the Raluralaresnlt of Fanaticism.--
When whole orchards of the best fruit;
which God has bestowed upon men, were
feled TO the earth because Cider. could be
distilled into Brandy; when Delavan and z
others. claimed credit for, pouring good
Il wine into The cutters Of ilIe streets; when
q religious Fanatics excluded from the COM
munion table that Wine which the Sayi-
our Of the World had directed 10 be used
in commemoration of his heavenly mis-

men ofaiIden ominations, to set theirfaces-
against tie mis.named Temperanee'socie-

Fanaticism has now nothing to do with The
temperance cause; and while ills exclud-
