TEMPERANCE LECTURES Rev.
MIR. PIEEPoNr, of Boston, the able and
well-known advocate ofthe Temperance
cause, gave two Lectures at the North
Baptist Church in this place, on Tues
day (aiiernoon aud evening" last. The
afternoon lecture. considered by some
much the best, though we think they
were both equally good, was not so
fully attended as the Lecture in the
evening Every part of the house in
The evening was filed, and we have sell
dow Witnessed more attentive audience
on any occasion, showing that the I'M
deniaJle truths, which fell from the lips
of the eloquent speaker, made an i'm
press'on-momeniary, perhaps, with
some, but it is to be hoped, with the ma
jority, deep and lasting impression.
We wish we had room 10 speak more
at length Of these highly interesting
lectures.

John Quincy Adams on Abolition. - Mr.
Adams was waited on al Pittsburgh by a
committee Of the political aboliiionsts,
urging him to meet and address them. -
This he declined, avowing that he was
as much opposed to slavery as any OF
them, and especially to the representa-
lion Of slaves in Congress, bu, expressing
his opposition to the abolition measures
Of the day as follows:
"With regard to the subject mentioned
in this note the annexalion of TeXas,
and the abolition OF slavery Ia The DIS
trict Of Columbia, II have no opinions
which wish to conceal. The Texas
question is very delicate one, and it is
probable il will occupy much of the al,
tonlion Of Congress the ensuing session ;
my views of j, have been already avowed
on more than one occasion. On the sub.
JeCt of abolition, abolition societies, anti
slavery societies, or the Liberty putty
1 have meyer been member of any of
them. But in opposition to slavery ] 90
as far as any of these my sentiments,
believe, very nearly accord With theirs.
That slavery will be abolished in this
country, and throughout the world,
6rmly believe. WAclher il shall be- done
peaceably, or by blood, God only knows :;
but that 1t shall be accomplished ! have
not doubt, and by whatever way, ! say
lei IL cone.
As 10 the abolition Of slavery in the
District of Columbia, ] have SAID that
was opposed to it-not because ! have
any doubts Of the power OF Congress to
abolish slavery in the District, for have
none. But regard it as violation of
republican principles, 10 enact laws at
the petition oi one people, which are to
operate on another people against their
consepi As the laws now stand, the
people Of the district have property in
then slaves.
| do not admit that these laws are in
accordance with justice, for II can never
be true that one man can righllulIy have
property III another maD. Still these
laws have had an existence since before

From the Providence Journal Of Monday
Hospital for the Insane.

The article which we copied from the
Newport Herald of the Times has drawn
forth the following letter from DIR. Cleve-
land, the Warden Of the Stme Peniten-
tiary. We have no doubt that much
additional evidence Of the same practical
character will be brought to light to
show the necessity Of some public pro-
vision for the Insane. The General
Assembly and the people only need to
be informed ofthis necessity, of the strik-
ing des,i,ution which now exists, in
order to take such action upon The sub
ject as will he credilable To The State.

is the work Ia which the French Acade-
my awarded It's prize.

sophical essays that we have seen ln this
age Of direct application of advice. -
We are not sure that We hold io all the

beautiful IDEA, but who shall attain Ia lis
realization Ii - something, however,
to think Of as II standard, if not too high,
as the mariner steers by the pole star,

The author says "onr religion is that
of our mnthrr, While what we convey
from ihe pulpit, only engraves itself on
our memory. But Jesus Christ teaches
that religion must be engraved on the
heart" That is true in part But the
pul pat, also, speaks to The heat, awakem
our apprehension, disturbs our rest, and
alarms our indihrrerce, which we had
mistaken for love.
We copy the concluding paragraphs Of
the work
