The Ohio Temperance Organ, of Cincinnati,
in noticing our account Of an excursion OF the
United Brothers Of Temperance of this city, to
Alexandria, couple of weeks since, says:
eve were before ignorant Of the existence Of
this new order in the temperance ranks. We
doubt the utility Of thus dividing and subdi-
viding, into so many different associations, the
friends of temperance"
We don't believe in such doctrine here. The
more Orders and Associations the better, so
that they work in the general cause. and har.
monize. Many enrol themselves with the
Sons of Temperance, who could never be
induced to sign the general pledge; many unite
with the United Brothers Of Temperance, who
have taken up the idea that the "Sons" are a
secret society, (although such is not the fact,
as the term is generally understood, } and so on
with the Rechabites, and other beneficial as
sociatons established on total abstinence prin-
ciples. The principles of all these associa-
tions tend to the advancement of temperance
and brotherly love; and the only difference we
observe in them, is, that the laws Of the United
Brothers obligate the members to do more out
door work-they are compelled to hold public
meetings for the advancement of total absti-
nence principles; hence they are calculated to
be greater public benefit. In this city they
are never idle in the cause. Meetings are
held by them every evening in some part of
the city, weather permitting; and on Sundays
detachments are sent to different parts of the
surrounding country, propagating their princi-
pies, establishing societies, and advancing the
cause in every possible way. Too much praise
cannot be awarded the United Brothers in this
District, for they have completely moralized
portions of it hitherto thought invulnerable

UNITED BROTHERS OF TEMPERANCE

The officers, and quorum OF brothers, Of
Associations Nos. and 2, United Brothers Of
this city, last Monday evening repaired to
Alexandria, according to previous arrangement,
and instituted an Association of the Order No.
~ in that city; nine were initiated, and seve-
raj others proposed for admission the next
meeting. From the character Of the brothers
composing this Association, we anticipate
much good from their efforts in our sister city /;
they are all young men, just entering upon the
duties of manhood, and it gave us pleasure to
observe them take the pledge to do that duty
manfully-by obeying the laws of their coun-
try, as good citizens; abstaining from the use
ofintoxicating beverages themselves, and using
their influence with others to do the same; to
raise and support the poor inebriate; and be
as brothers to one another, in sickness and in
health.
The following gentlemen were duly elected
and installed officers of Association No. 4, for
the current quarter:
ROBERT M. LARMoUR, President.
ABEL D. WAKEFIELD, lst Vice President.
DOUGLASS S. GREGORY, Cd Vice President
EDGAR L. BRocKETT, Sd Vice President.
RICHARD L. CARNE, Jr., Record's Secretary.
SETHERlcK DAvY, Financial Secretary.
JOHN o. WARNER, Marshal
LEMUEL RoBY, Assistant Deputy Marshal.

rades, whose blood, ignobly shed, stains the
soil Of Texas? Might we not again have
heard, above the battles roar, the fierce cries
of "Goliad the Alamo mot as 10 Mexi-
cans, but to murderers w-until, as in the last
battle which the brave Texans fought, the car
mage was only to be ended by the officers of
the conquerors throwing themselves in body
between the avengers and their enemy2 Let
those who think we had anticipated too much,
too dreadful an issue, look back at San Jacinto,
and Judge for themselves.
But we rejoice that it is otherwise. We are
truly happy TO perceive that prudence, for
once, seems to have presided over and directed
the counsels of that unhappy, and, we had al
most said, devoted country; and equally hap
py would we be to see those internal wounds
from which she has SO long bled and suffered,
healed up, her disquietudes Gained, her great
resources, through mild, but firm and wise,
administration of good laws, fully developed,
her people elevated to the rank which belongs
to citizens of free republic, her prominent
and energetic, but designing leaders, curbed in
their wild ambition, and their abilities turned
into the path Of patriotism and usefulness:
then might we see our sister republic standing
high in the scale OF nations, duly respected
abroad, and respecting herself at home, and
worthy to stand side by side with the great
Power of the western world.
However, it is our duty, as it is, to look on
this unfortunate country "more in sorrow than
in anger" to draw veil over her weaknesses
and her folles, and to be the first to seek the
permanent establishment Of the friendly rela-
tions unfortunately too nearly sundered.
"Ours are the plans of fair delightful peace
Unwarped by angry strife, to live like brothers,

Duiing the recess, the whole-souled brothers
of Harmony Division had supper prepared,
as if by magic, for the visiters; after partaklng
of which, the procession was again formed
and proceeded TO the Lyceum. After singing
an ode, brother Hardness was introduced, and
although he appeared without previous pre-
paration, he enehaned the audience for one
hour and half, fully and clearly showing
forth the beneficial effect of total abstinence,
and depicting the misery Of its opposite. =
After singing an ode the meeting adjourned.
The "Sons" escorted the "Brothers" to the
steamboat, and after an interchange Of good
wishes for the prosperity of each other, they
parted, well pleased with the days proceed
ings. A large number of signatures were OBJ
tained to the pledge
We are authorised to return the thanks of
the United Brothers of Temperance, to the
gentlemanly proprietor OF the Alexandria Mu-
scum, for his polite invitation to visit that in

dria generally, the United Brothers return
their heartfelt thanks for the kind and bro

as on former visits to that city. TO the mem
