Remarks
Our Subscriber should keep cool. He very
well knows that our advocacy OF Temperance is
not nove--it is, in fact, good deal older than
The Tribune. Having said cur say Oh the sub
Get in yesterdays columns, now let hin
sly his. 80 our readers cen sec what is urged on
both sides We really do not think he has made
out much Of a case He tells US indeed, that he
has reared a fine family cleared lands, bailt
mills &c. from the profits Of his business
all yery well but we should like to know how
much his customcrs-thc men who drank the
rum through Thirty to forty ycars-have proiited
by ii. We rather suspect panoramic view OF
the lives and deaths of those customers would
rivc our friend bad dreams. But let this pass
for we don't mean to be hard on any man.
As to rum-selling being a respectable brs-
ness, we own up'-it is respcctablc--a great
deal too much so-and therefore we object to
wedding out few places in which the business
has gone up to seed, and leaving those un'ouch-
ed in which it is only IN blossom. Ii IS rsry re-
specialists much so as fitting out African
Savers was forty years ago--as P!ivateering still
Is. And YET there are some of these respectable
ca,linrs, that we should hesitate to live By though
lucrative. There are sundry simple precepts IN
! positive old Book that we are sometimes ac-
cused of hostility to that would rather stick in
our throat If we were hauling in the scanty SIX
pences Of poor thirsty labogers by ruuscll'ng, no
matter whether by the glass or gallon. (See
Rom. xiv. 81. &c. &c.l But we cid nj mean
to argue the point with our SUBSCRIBER nor
