1t may be interesting to the friends of the
cause to know, as a mere matter Of History,
that The fret temperance society on record was
established by the Freemasons of Italy, lust
a century since. On the 28th April, 1888,
Pope Clement XII issued his celebrated Bull
forbldding the practice of Freemasonary b,
the members Of the Roman Catholic Church.
Many Of the Masons Of Italy continued. how.

the temporal penalties of the Bull, which ex-
tended in some instances to the infection of
capital punishment, they changed their exotic
name, and called themselved Xeropbapisls

title they selected, because they then intro.
duced a pledge of total abstinence into their
bye-laws; and hence the Freemasons of Italy
may claim the honor of having taken the mi
tlatory step in that great reformation which
ha0 since done so much good to mankind.

TAYLORISM.

The following article is copied into the " True
Whig," from the Louisville Journal, without
word of comment. OF course, being from pa
per Of their own side, it is to be inferred that they
approve of it. We copy 1t, therefore, as fair
specimen of the morality OF Taylorism, as exhib
tied in Kentucky and approved of by its chosen
organ in Massachusetts. Comment is unneces-
sary The article is as follows.
- Half dozen Wings, ardent friends of
Mr.. Clay, have sent us JOINT letter, saying that
they pledged themselves, some time ago, not to
vote for Gen. Taylor for the Presidency. They
cannot, however, think OF separating themselves
from their old friends. They still say that they

for the electors nominated By the Wings, and
that the electors vote for Taylor If they like.
