| dRAND hALLr FOX lEMPEhANCE-Ine great
Union demonstration Of the Sons of Temperance
in our City and Brooklyn yesterday, was spirited
and interesting affair from beginning to end. About
! the middle OF the afternoon large procession
formed in the Bowery, the right resting on Broome-
st. and marched up the Bowery to Union-sq. where
Friendship Division No. was received The line
then proceeded down Broadway TO Grand-st
thence to the Bowery, and down the latter and
| Chatham st. TO Pearl. Here the whole line struck
off for the Fulton Ferry and passed over to Brook
Ign, marching in that city up Fulton-s to "Union
Hail. where Washington Division No. was
! ceived. The procession filed through the Princi-
pal streets of Brooklyn, and returned about
o'clock in the evening, passing our office on its
way to the Tabernacle, marching round the Park
Fountain, and thence across the Park up Broad
way. Excellent order was preserved throughout
the extended line of march, under the skilfu guild
ance of Grand Marshal Dillingham; and bis Aids,
7. w P's Thos. +. Peers and Edwin j. Mercer.
The evening exercises at the Tabernacle opened
little before o'clock with music from Dinge's
Washington Brass Band-which attended through
the dsy-and singing by the members of the Order
and of the "New.York Conservatory of Music"
sion. The house was well filed in every part
the principal aisles by the members of the Order,
in full regalia, and the remainder by large and
promscuous audience. The First speaker Of the
evening was Gen. SAMUEL f. CARY of Ohio, hold
ing the high office of Most Worthy Patriarch OF the
Sons Of Temperance in North America. Mr.. Cary's
speech was listened TO with profound attention,
Gbounded in forcble arguments and was marked
| bv amanly eoquence which called forth frequent
bursts of applause. He depicted in vivid colors the
de solaticns of lntemperance and the manifold bles
| sings Of Abstinence. How are our Jails, our Pen
| tentiaries and our Aims Houses, said he, crowded
| with the victims Of drunkenness We have had
the results of this giant vice spread appalngly be-
fore us in late Report of Committee OF our Leg
slature Forty thousand persons confined in prison
during the past year from crimes resulting from In
temperance airlghttul catalogue still larger num-
| Der are in our Poor Houses. Who has been bene-
fitted by this enormous traffic in Liquor. Who, but
the Rumseller for the Report of the same Com
mittee tells us that the expense Of the vice and
and destitution thus entailed is not far from
Twenty five Millions per annum In view Of all
this, it behooves every friend of Temperance
not to linger tor a moment in his efforts, till
we wipe out from the face OF the earth the last
grog-shop which poutes it. Yet here in this
| City, the liquor seller is encouraged and pro-
| teCted by the law. There is price fixed for the
destruction of our fellow men, and the law uphods
the deed The drunkard maker receives license
to go abroad unchecked, laying waste and desolate
| all that is pure excellent and of good report. For
| this the friends of Temperance themselves 10
a measure, responsible, if they stand by consent
| ing TO such things. Paul did not himself pelt Ste
| phen-he did not throw single stone. But he
aerward upbraids himself that he consented TO the
deed and held the clothes Of his murderers. SO it
4 must be with the movers In this Temperance He
form. So far as we stand by and consent to this
desolatins curse just so far are we guilty of the
blood of our fellow men. Mr.. CARY illustrated his
positions by rich fund of incident and amusing
anecdote, which had telling effect upon his audi
tors and kept them throughout in excellent humor.
| Mr. Cary was followed by Rev. Bro. ARMTTAGE,
whose remarks were necessarily curtaied by the
| lateness of the hour He spoke earnestly and to
| the purpose urging the necessity OF united and
hearty action on the part OF Temperance men, and
illustrating in happy manner the advantages and
influence of the Order At little after 10 the
vast assemblage was dismissed with singing and
Benediction-and a new Temperance gathering
was brought TO a conclusion with another powerful
impulse to the Cause OF Temperance.
On Thursday evening next, there will be an
other Grand Rally at the Tabernacle in compliment
to Mr.. +. w. KELLOGG, the jealous and successful
advocate Of this cause-at which the Hutchinson
Family will sing, and several Addresses be made.
We hope 10 see another bumper like that which
filed the spacious Tabernacle last night. Friends
Of Temperance let US give Mr.. Kellogg hearty
manifestation of our regard for his eminent services
as a champion of the Cause.
