TEMPERANCE MEETING.

The Temperance Society of this place,
met, ag.seably to previous notice, 10 the
Court House, on Saturday last. BY re-
quest Of the Society, Doctor A. j. Pa,ter.

address on the occasion. We regret that
we have mol been enabled to publish it,
but hope our readers will be content when
we assure them, that the subject was trea-
ted with the becoming ability Of the well
known source whence it eminated. When
the Doctor had concluded, the pledge was
offer'd for the signature ofsuch as were con-

THE ASHBURTON DINNER. AT
NEW YORK

we are relolced to perceive, that the
wing press, generally, have honor enough
not to acquiesce in the conduct of the N .
York Wings, at the Ashburtun Dinner.
1t was disgrace of the most Infamous ma.
ture TO the country, and even shocked the
feelings of the British officers present.
When Queen Victoria was toasted, the
room rung with applause; but w5en The
name Of Tyler, the President of the Uni
ted States was announced, contemptious
silence ensued. The brand of ignominy
should be indelIibly enstamped upon the
men or party, who would acquiesce in such
a proceeding.

THE MEETING.

The Presbyterian Protracled Meeting
at this place, closed on Wednesday, after
session of six or eight days. 1t was
throughout numerously attended, and we
are gratified to state, that twenty-five or
thirty persons attached themselves 10 the
church during the meeting-some OF our
oIdes, and most highly esteemed citizens,
among the number. Their future life and
walk will be such as to shut the mouth oil
the most censorious. ifso, they will al
ways look to the day of their conversion,
with pleasure and satisfaction.
The preachers present, were Messfs.
Mclean, Newton, Morrison and Hughes.
The FIRST is gentleman Of fine genius &
an eloquent speaker; the next two possess
clear and logical minds, and reason well;
Mr.. Hughes, we did not have the plasure
OF hearing.

unparalleled. The gospel is penetrating

should be. A truly pious and virtuous
man, is an honor TO his race, and COM
mands our highest admiration; while we
regard the hypocrite as the basest Of the
base-the vilest of the vile. Hence, We
are glad to hear Of the spread of true reli-
