" The Temperance Aduoeata of the 9th
ult., in Noticing a remark which appeared in
the Advertiser Of the 18th ul,. relative to the
effec. of Judge O'Neal's Recommendation in
his circular, upon the subject Of The License
system, says: -
1--WE hope The editor may be mistaken in
his supposition, for really we cannot understand
how sincere friend of Temperance can: be
converted into an open enemy. merely because :
single individual with whom be is acting,
happens to differ with hlm as ,o the means, by
which the end, nj which both are aiming, is 10
be effected" 1S@@
Without going further into the lengthy re-
marks Of the worthy editor of the Adoocate, we
will a plain "unearnished tale unfold" which,
should he deem expedent to belieoe, will no
donbt convince him, that our object, was not
to injurs the Temperance cause, nor in the least
10 cast any censure npontle honorable author
of the circular, but merely 10 stick steadtast to
the principles avowed by the founders Of the
Wasrnglonian Total Abstinence Society,"
The Temperance cause; in this District, was
taken in hand, by a few individuals, residing in
this village, say abou, eight or zen, who, when
they first commenced their labours, and pre-.
vious 10 meeting being called, about twenty
sgners having signed the pledge, determined to
have no connexion with any body who had
for their object, an application to the Legisla-
ture for any aid, in any manner or shape, and
upontte formation Of their Society, these views
were clearly and distinctly understood, and
the Constitution, which they at that time adopts.
ed, which has never been altered. defines their
position upon the pointin question, explicitly.
Under those circumstanceswe think the charge
ofour being an ",opea enemy" to the cause. of
Temperance falls TO the ground, as our only
crime, if crime it can be called, was in being
too anxious to put stop to an evil, which we
feel satisfied, would. should the question be
again carried into the Convention, where ithaz
been so often ably discussed, audt-defeated.
create an exciiemen, that would shake the
Temperance cause to its centre, and, we fear.
bring inevitable ruin upo the heretofore good
old doctrine of moral suasion' and example,
Merico.-The National Intelligencer, says
that the true. .informa,ioa from Mexico is, that
the people Of that country were never more
united than they are in their opposition to a
surrender of Texas; that they are determined
to listen to no terms in regard to the project Of
Annexation" that they continue 70 regard
Texas as part Of their territory, and to man
prefer war to any compromise of what they
conceive to be their unquesuonable rights upon
the subject.
