The Order of Sons of Temperance.


Reader amidst the numerous associations that have
arisen since the dawn of the nineteenth century to
ameliorate the condition of mankind, morally, social
ly, and physically, none arrests the attention, and
claims the admiration of the intelligent observer of
passing events more than the Order of Sons of Tenn
perance.
For six thousand years the question of temperance
and incompetence has been fruitful theme of con-
troversy for the poet, historian, and divine.
On the one hand is presented Temperance, under
whose magic influence health peace, and happiness,
are secured
~. sss /" Temperance like evergreen,
raes VIII brave the Indictment blast;
.- And still maintain the blooming spring
..rs When summer days past"
On the other hand Intemperance, sweeping her
victims to ruin disgrace and poverty, the outlines
that poet has drawn of her are not all fancy.
Around him friends may throw enticing charms
No art allures him from the monsters arms
Content he passes on, till deaths dark door
m Ends his career, he falls to rise more"
1.-THE Order of Sons of Temperance was formed
upwards of seven years ago, by sixteen gallant spi-
rits in the city of New York. bearing for their mot
to- Glove, Purity, and Fidelity having for their
pledge 'No brother shall make, buy, SELL or use as
beverage, any spirituous malt liquors, wine OF
cider" fs*5@ -gSss.
At first clouds and darkness lowered around them
but knowing their cause was just, in God they put
their trust and the star of hope that had just
emerged from the horizon was lost in the MONDAY
blaze. -sEt .z.5...

steady increase of applications for charters.
The frst attempts to form Division in New Han
over had failed, most signay failed in fact there
were none poor as to do it reverence :; when the
citizens of Long Creek in order to blot out the stair
of black intemperance, formed the Long Creek Divi

Horrible Murder In Granville County


Early in March last, mutilated dead body
found in swamp in Granville county, the house
of man named ADAM CLARK, and an investigation
has led to the following facts:
About year since, CLARK, having escaped from
justice in Granville came to Catawba county, where
he remained until the early part of March. Having
sent his family back, he again returned to Granville
in company with young man by the name of ELI
SIGMAN, whom he induced to accompany him, by re-
presenting the chances of lucrative employment
When they left Catawba, CLARK had but few cents
money, S1GMAN being in possession of $50, rife
and pistol after which nothing heard of either
of them until few weeks since, when letters were
discovery of the body in CLARks neighborhood Sus-
picion falling on CLARK, he arrested, having in
his possession rife and pistol, answering to the
description of those of SIGMAN, and pocket-book
containins nearly the amount of money SIGMAN had
with him. The friends of SIGMAN have gone to Gran
vile to investigate the matter more fully.

HOW obey Live In Fronce,

Every one who frequents the reading-room of the
theatre de -, has observed little, old man, with
quiet, melancholy air. who calls himself dramat-
ic author; but who, to the best of our knowledge
has specialized any other than ten cent pie
ces. --4-es..
AS soon as he perceves new conner, he goes right
up to him, and, after having made few common
place observations, says: - a..
| bet you could not jump ten cent piece
g don't understand your jeu de mots" answers the
person addressed. .-..., hi IL
In plain language without jeu de mots, bet you
do not jump over ten cent piece
What do you mean @ -tf ~
Lend me a ten cent piece and you will see''
The old man, soon as he receives the ten cent
piece places it the window sill, and throwing up
the sash, says with bantering air. pointing at the
same time to the pavement of the street below:
g Now jump over it ~ - E-.s...
The spectators, par politesse laugh at the trick
the old man twirs the little piece of money IN his
fngers-slaps his familiarly the back and
shoulders, as if to encourage him also to laugh
then, by the way of reflection, remarks carelessly
O. 1t seems very simple but every thing depends
ON where one puts the money! E@
AT the same time, with an air of most innocent
abstraction, he slips the ten cent piece into his peck
ct the trick is done!
This harmless industry brings its inventor the daily
means of supplying his simple wants. Those who
have once been his victims, never sorry to see
another fall into the snare. 81 ~.

H. Resolved, That in the event dominant
majority shall refuse to recognize the great con-
stitutional rights we assert, and shall continue
to deny the obligations of the Federal Govern
ment to maintain them, it is the sense of this
Convention that the Territories should be trea-
ted as property, and divided between the Sec
tons ofthe Union, so that the rights of both
sections be adequately secured in their respec-
tive shares. That we are aware this course is
open to grave objections, but we are ready to
acquiesce in the adoption of the line Of 36 deg.
80 min. North latitude, extending to the Pacific
Ocean, as m extreme concession, upon consd-
erations of what is due to the stability of our
Institutions
IL Resolced, That it is the opinion Of this
Convention this controversy should be ended,
eitherby recognition of the constitutionalri rights
of the Southern people, or by an equitable par
tition of the Territories That the spectacle of
a confederacy of States, involved in quarrels
over the fruits of war in which the American
arms were crowned with glory, is humating.
That the incorporation of the Wimot Proviso
in the offer Of settlement, a proposition which
fourteen States regard as disparaging and dis
honorable, is degrading to the country. A ter
mnation to this controversy by the disruption
Of the Confederacy, or by the abandonment of
the territories to prevent such result, would be
climax to the shame which attaches to the con-
troversy which it is the paramount duty of Con.
gress to avoid.
l3. Resolved, That this Convention will not
conclude that Congress will adjourn without
making an adjustment of this controversy, and
in the condition in which the Convention finds
the questions before Congress, it does not feel
at liberty discuss the methods suitable for a
resistance to measures not yet adopted, which
might involve dishonor to the Southern States.
