MIR. GoUGHs coNFEssIoN.

This gentleman, distinguished Temperance
Lecturer at the North, who was betrayed by his
appetite into drunkenness, few days since at the
North, has made a confession, dated Mount Pleas
ant, Rockbury, Massachusetts,, which we find in
the last Evening Post This Is no doubt the
genuine confession-!he former one having been
very kindly forged for HIM by some person in
New York. 1t seems that glass of soda he
drank in company with one Jonathan Williams,
was drugged, and that afterwards, under the in
fuence of the stimulant in this glass, he went in
to Grocery and got some brandy. He then
went to certain house with fenaale-and what
followed may be imagined. When found by his
friends he was much depressed. We quote the
concluding paragraphs of his confession:
"And now in view of the past, can say with
Job, {" For the thing which greatly feared has
come upon me, and that of which | was
keenly feeling this am willing to lie PROSTATE
in the dust where this fall has put me. l do not
presume TO say that am not to blame was to
blame to 60 with stranger; but when he spoke
of nv being too proud, do not know but | would
have gone anywhere with him. But still l was
to blame. l may be considered also 10 blame
for getting that brandy, giving way to my desires
for it; but if bitter tears of repentance, and earnest
PRAYERS for forgiveness, for that of which might
have been guilty while under strong excitement
will avail through the mercy of Christ, 1 shall
be forgiven. To the Temperance friends l am
willing to bow am willing to be called the
meanest of all engaged in the great cause; I am
willing to bear with meekness their censure To
my brethren in the church, am willing they
should do with me, and by me, as they in their
judgment may decide, submitting to them in all
things as they will. To those who may be pre-
JUDGED against me, blame you not for disbeliev-
ing nv statement. I blame you not for all that
YOU NAV say against me- By Gods help l will
endeavor SO To live that you will respect me, and
by more earnest prayer and watchfulness so TO
maintain my integrity that shall win your conf
dence.
"To those editors of papers who have mention
ed my sad case with sympathy and consideration
l can say that gratitude is little word for my
feelings towards you. In the bitter cups there are
some mercy drops; my life is spareds my reason
is spared. The hearts of my friends are not
shut up against me- For these mercies | trust
1 feel thankful and whatever may be my future
situation in life, pray God that may so live as
to honor the profession that have made that
may be more humble, feel more my dependence
on God, and by his grace become more firm,
consistent and uncompromising foe 10 strong

CHARLESTON MERCURY.

The Raleigh Register publishes as editorial
the following from the Alexandria Gazette:
"The 'Union' cuts the Charleston Mercury
with an air of offended dignity, declaring that it
will not again contradict any of its charges, how
ever mendacious,' and that the republican party
Ii. e. the locofoco. pary) prefer open enemy
to an insidious foe.' There's for you friends of
Mr. Calhoun =" Alexandria Gazette
And to this the Union makes the following ap.
propriate and conclusive reply:
"The expression which we used was not
meant to apply to the friends of Mr. Calhoun"
Il was intended for the G Charleston Mercury
and its affiliated press in this city. The friends
of Mr.. Calhoun in South Carolinian have, indeed,
some interest in the question. Werepeat it is for
them to decide how long they will consent to be
so misrepresented. We have no, doubt that they
will do their duty in this behalf But certainly
we never intended to say to them that the arepub-
lican party" would ever regard them either as an
I" insidious friend or an open foe" How strange
and absurd would such designation. appearl
They are themIelves part and parcel of the bone
and sinew ofthe Republican party" .az
