pendent Order oil hechabttes, was celebrated last
evening at the Broadway Tabernacle. The house
was crowded. The members of the Tent were
present in full force in complete regalia Mr.. John
j. Lewis, Chief Ruler, presided. Prayer was OF
fered by Rev. Z. H. Chapin-followed by the
reading Of the Pledge, Temperance songs, and a
portion Of Scripture from the xxxyth Chapter Of

Rev E. H. Chaplin made an eloquent and etfec
tive address on Temperance. He said his concern
was with the fact that the object of the Institu-
ton whose Anniversary had summoned the audi
ence together, was the maintenance and further
ance Of the Cause of Temperance, He urged the
vital importance Of the doctrine of Total Absti.
nence from all that Will intoxicate as the only
safeguard against drunkenness Many who
cali themselves good Temperance men, said
Mr.. Chaplin, argue that it is a fatal principle
that use must be abrogated because OF abuse.
The necessaries of life, the elective franchise
religion itself liable to great abuses, yet their
use Is absolutely essential to our civilized exls
tence. Fire is liable to be abused by the incen
diary and the careless, yet it must be. used But
we contend IN the case OF intoxicating drinks that
they are necessary, and that when they are so
liable to general abuse, the only safe plan to rid
the use OF them. There is no good that can result
from their use-it is but momentary pleasure
which ends IL paIn-a temporary excitement that
ends in delirium. God has given us the power to
face the evil, to overcome it. a great principle
is to be observed in this Temperance struggle
we must not rest satisfied with halfway meas
ures we are called upon to go to the root Of the
evil and exterminate it Mr.. Chaplin made an
eloquent appeal in behalf OF young men aud
argued upon the responsibility incurred by the
influential classes-strongly deprecating the exam
pie and temptation to youth which results from
respectable and fashionable drinking. The speech
was listened to with great attention. The even
ing wound up with an exposition of the principles
of the Order OF Rechabites.
To THE AUTHORS, EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS Of
TEE UNITED SrArEs-The inhabitants of the Ter
ritory of Utah. through their authorized Agent
desire to state that the position of our Territory
cuts US off from the repositories oflearning acces
sible to others, and We can only rely upon the
distant periods of arrival Of our mails, to learn
what is transpiring in our common country. A
Library for constant reference and mental culture
in the more abstract intellectual sciences is more
than desirable it is vital to our existence and
prosperity. Congress- with enlightened sagacity
that should always characterize the views Of the
true American in matters Of education, has ap-
propriated $4,000 for the commencement OF a
Library for the citizens residing in the Territory
Of tab, and the President of the United states
has appointed the undersigned to procure it. He
will remain in the City of New York consider
able portion of the Winter for that purpose
While thus appropriating his time, it has occurred
to himself and his friends that a most agreeable
and profitable method OF furthering this design,
would be to acquaint authors and publishers of
books and newspapers throughout the United
States with the wants of his constituents, and to
assure them of the sincere gratitude with which
donations from them will be received All such
files Of papers and copies Of works can be for
warded by mail, addressed to Hon. George
Briggs Member of Congress, New ork City
The word Utah should be written on the outside
of the envelop inclosing them so that their des-
tinatiOn may be more correctly distinguished from
works intended for the Hon. member himself
By this arrangement they will be assured OF their
reaching their destination and OF their approprla-
ton to their avoWed object. The autograph OF
the author or doner will increase the value OF hs
gin and Convey to the reader OF succeeding
generation a pleasing memento OF the man to
whom he may be indebted for his means of com
municating with the mind Of a preceding age
