Bro. GoRMAN: The following pream-
BILE and resolutions were presented to our
Division at its last meeting, and received
a unanimous vote.
WHEREAS, We have heard complaints
among some of the members of our Or
der about the alteration made in the
pledge at the last session Of the Nation
al Division, and whereas, we have heard
with regret that some Of the Subordinate
Divisions have surrendered their char
tiers on account of the above mentioned
act of the National Division, therefore
Resolved, That while we heartily disap.
prove the alteration made in orr pledge
we at the same time have the creates
confidence in the permanence of tht
great and good cause of the Sons Of Tenn
perance.
ResoEued, That we believe the mex
session of the National Division, will
either satisfactorily explain the alteration
(made inthe pledge at its last session,
or will annul its proceedings in regar
thereto.
Resolced, That we as a Division fec
determined to sustain the cause ana CIV
it our most hearty support, until anothe
session Of the National Division, and !
the event Of their not giving US satisfat
ton, we will act accordingly. i
ResoIved, That we call upon membel
Of the Order everywhere not to witt
draw, nor as Divisions to surrender the
charters on account of the act Of Il
National Division, as they are theret

mics of U cause.

greatest Temperance meetings Of the sea
son was held on Saturday last, at Church
vile, Hartford county, Maryland, upon
which occasion it is estimated that not
less than ten thousand persons were
present, including a number of the Or
der of Sons of Temperance, who went
from this city. The occasion was one
of considerable interest to the friends of
the temperance cause. Hon. Sam. Hous-
ton, of Texas, delivered an able address
setting forth the advantages of the prin-
ciples advocated by the order, after
which a SPLENDID banner was presented
ed to the Division of that place.

stating that they had been 10 Pennsyl-
vania. were tired Of freedom, and were
trying to get back to their master. They
stated that they had been decoyed offby a
white man, whose name they did not
know, by specious promises and delu-
sive hopes, and that they much prefer
red staying with Mr.. Calvert as his slaves
than 10 lead the life they did after they
had reached their destination, and de-
sired to be sent home. The mayor had
them lodged in jail at New Castle. and
sent a dispatch by telegraph to theiI
owner, who had them removed to hii
