with only Ii members: a small band to
stem the mighty current OF intemperance
and public opinion: but, Jacob like, we
have become a mighty band, while other
societies around US, like Jonah's gourd,
have sprung up in night and wilhered in
a day. Oar course has been steady, on
ward and upward, perfectly in accordance
with the well known character Of the poo-
pie of Sugar Creek. /; has been said our
pledge is neither long enough, nor broad
enough: but that ii is every thing it should
he, to make temperate people, is evident
from the fact, that there is not under the
whole heavens, a more temperate and con-
sls.ent society. We have weathered the
Storms and resisted the temptations of IA
years t.iumphanlly. We have had peace
aud harmony in our ranks and now mum.

~ The Raleigh Register states that
there had not fallen in the memory Of the
oldest inhabitants, such a rain as fell on
the day of the election and day after IN
that region. great destruction Of pro-
pcrty had taken place. The same paper
of the 18th inst. states that they had been
visited by another flood almost equal IN
extent TO the first, but no account had
been received OF the injuries sustained
About the 9th inst. n similar visitation
was experienced at the North. In the
of Philadelphia, Pa'' mills
bridges and factories on the Schuylkl'i
had been swept away, and much damage
was done 10 Mills in other sections OF the
country.

exposed and ridicnled the unprincipled propo-
