We had the pleasure last night OF attend
ing most brilliant meeting OF the Temper
ance Society ofthis place. The Court House
was literally crowded with men and women
and we venture the assertion, that there was
npl one present WHO was not delighted during
The whole evening.
The President. Mr.. Edmund Penn. gen
lleman az well qualified, in head and heart
for the discharge oftis duty, as any man we
have ever seen fill the place, had procured the
assistance of The Temperance Bund-some
amateurs. gentlemen of education and refine,
ment who are residents Of our own Village ano
District. And we must do them the justice tt
say, that their strains were sweet and ravishins
as well as most judicious and spprppriale. and
gratifying TO every person who heard them.
The meeting was opened with prayer. BY
the Rev. MIR. Jackson; after which, the Prrsi
dentread some Temperance poetry, aud made
n few remarks, which were 'welltined and
dgni6ed,-apd si,a'ftsil's
Society at this place, and tile friends of TEN.
prrance in the vicinity, had been in cold
and luke-warm state long enough, and he
wished TO see them aroused from their lelh
argy, and their slumbers Of security. He said
he wished to see n temperance revivalamongst
his brelllren.- and in truth, he did see re-
vival amongst them. For he had scarcely ia
ken his seat, when the band struck up u
soul.stirring tnne,- and at lis conclusion
sev.n or eight gallant young gentlemen,
amidst the most intense excitement, and the
most rap'urous applaudings Of thrilled and
delighted audience, bravey marched up, and
signed their names to the pledge, and enlist ed
for the nar under the proud banner Of The
Washingtnniaus.
Itwas then announced. that VIM. Adams,
Esq. would address lhe meeting Mr. Adams
'ose. and delivered sensible and manly
speech on Temperance, describing it in all ils
beauty and Ioveliness, and warning his fellow
citizens, in the strongest ~ most forcible la ~
gnage, 10 avoid the destinations Of intemper-
ance, as they would the snarcs of the great
enemy Of mankind.
At he conclusion Of The address of Mr.. Ad-
ANS two more gentlemen, amid the cheering
of the auditory went forward, and affixed their
names to the pledge.
The Band then gave us "Hail ColumbIa'
and y anlee Dnodle,' after which, the meet
Ing adjourned, with the most agreeable ex.
pressions playing on the countenance of every
one.
