clear and distinc, voice. and in very inpres-
sive manner. by Hssel Norwood. esq.
The 0uiion was delivered by Samuel r. Phil
lips. esq Of Chapel Hill This Oralion was well
delivered. and though over an hour In length. il
was snlivened By many interesting historical de-
tails, and was listened 70 with evident delight by
tho whole Of his large auditory. The views
which the Orator presented Of the cause and e.
feet Of our Revolution. Of the Union Of these
States, and Of the Constitution and the compo-
mises attending its formation, were illustrated and
sustained by the historical facts which he advanc.
ed, which were CLEANED from documents to which
he has recently had access, and which were new
TO most readers. And though many have come
10 the Same general conclusions yet the new fact'
which were before him enabled him to take q
mole comprehensive and enliehted view Of biz
subject. The admirable style in which these fact,
were dgessed and arranged, and the correctness o.
4 the sentiments and the business Of views present
cd, made II very desirable that this oraiion should
be published; and we are pleased 10 learn that
the Divisions in this place have requested copy
for that purpose.

BY some Of the brethren.
n The Rev. Addison Lea. Of Lsssburs. then de-.
liversd Temperance Address, in which he show
ed that the Temperance Reformation was based

feet harmony with lie teachings should receive the

pist, and especially Of every christian.

held at the same place. Addresses were deliver
ed by the Rev. A. Wilson, d. D., and the Rev
L. X. Willie; the officers were elected, and q
small contribution made to aid the Society in il,
operations. We hope 10 be furnished with ar
official account ofthe proceedings before our mex
issue. It is to be regretted that SO few Of tn,
friends Of this cause were present on this occasion
Can il be that the thin attendance at this meeting
affords any thing like proper criterion by which
We may measure the interest which is felt by III,
Christians Of Orange in the important work 0
giving the Word Of Life to the destitutei w,
; hope not.
