Wash1ngtOnians, Beware !

While I rejoice that your pledge is so sa-
credly observed by the great mass of your
number, and while my breast heaves with JOY
and thankfulness at the vast amount of com
fort and happiness diffused by the noble course
you pursue, still let me address you in the
voice of warning, while shudder at the effects
of relapsing into your former habits. The
man described in the annexed article, from
Herkimer paper, has been known by me for
many years; and the sad tale of his relapse
and consequent death, has impelled me to hold
up his case to your view, as one to which you
all are liable. Do, therefore, remember that
in total abstinence alone, in a persevering,
unyielding adherence to your sacred pledge,
you will find peace and safety; while the
least indulgence of the depraved appetite may
unman you, and lead you to death and de-
struction 'Touch not, taste not, handle
not the accursed thing. Abstain and live,
or drink and die! Rememberthe fate of poor
Osgood! IL.
"Drowned, in the lock at Mohawk, on Sun
day night, Mr.. Daniel Osgood, aged about 6O
wears. Some time last winter this unfortu-
nate man, who had been for many years in
temperate, signed the Washingtonian pledge,
and we learn that down to the last week ne
had remained true to his engagement. In an
evil hour, it seems, he was induced to return
to the accused beverage, and it has cost him
his life!''

Mr.. MYERS also delivered a Temperance

Mr. ED1ToR-Allow me to say that be-
cause | have not written for your excellent
paper for a long time, have not forgotten you
or your readers; but the fact is it is no easy
thing for an Inherent man to write for the
press, after cold jaunt from one appointment
to another; and again, the spirit of talkative
ness is so prevalent in most of the N. E. fam
lilies, it would require him right hand man
to answer all the questions propounded to him;
but there is one consolation in it, it is not the
spirit of gossip, but evidently an anxious de-
sire to be informed on the condition of man.

those slavery capitalists to control the com

as matter of course, the milk of human
kindness can have delightful flow from heart
to heart, and as might be expected the poor
slave at the South, and our nominally free CO

bered not in the spirit of be We warmed, and

Mr.. Folsom of this place, with his good lady,

or on hrs 6se but BY using his executive power and
imposing pains and penalties upon the petitioner and
nothing short OF this in any case, can violate the
right of petition. 1t was SO understood in that day
when the right was stamped with the high value
which Mr.. Adams and his coadutors would affect to
attach to it now.
When one dared, in any other manner, TO ar
raign the administration Of public affairs the con-
duet OF public officers right claimed to do this
in petition addressed to the King or either house
of Parliament but until the last of the Stuarts was
driven from the British throne, the right was often
violated by mprisoning, or otherwise Furnishing the
petitioner, and subJectIng the petitioner TO some
degree Of punishment for the exercise of the right
that, and that aloue was deemed violation of the
right.
"Like the freedom Of speech and the press, the
right Of petition is preserved nyiolate while 1t Is
exercised with impuny.
81 know II is deemed breach in Congress, when
constitutional questions under discussion, te
quote the words of the instrument itself, neverthe-
less as il may be useful to of few words, let u.
turn to the article in which the right Of petition is Sc
cured, and here it is:
| Article first Of the I'm ndnents.
| Congress shall make no law respecting estab-
lshment OF religion, prohibiting the free exercise
thereof, abridgDg the freedom OF speech or OF lht
press the rig of the pc, pie peacefully to assem-
bic and to petition the Government for redress o.
| grievances"
81 had thus far proceeded with the discussion, at
ter the example of the grand council Of the nation
and settled constitutional question without turning
to the instrument ITSELF and find that easy
ference might have saved me a voyage across thu
| Atlantic in quest of matter for illustration.
Notwithstanding the high authority to the con
trary, am half persuaded that it is sometimes use
fu to look at thing before we decide what it is
"On reading the foregoing article, find that
have conceded too much, and that until Congress ac
lually pass law abrdging the right Of petition, thu
| right remains inviolate.
"And yet is it not strange that handful of lana
ties, under the of abolitionists whose mperli
nent petitions have for several years, consumed hal
of each session of Congress, should complain tina
their rights are invaded, unless they permitted
engross the whole Such is the necessary effect O
unreasonable indulgence. So much for the right o
