THE FRUITS OF THE SYSTEM.

Connecticut is called the land Of steady
habits" yet it has been ascertained, by careful
investigation, that during the past year, sepen
hundred and forty deaths occurred in that State
from the effects Of r~um-drinking alone-that Of
two hundred and seventy-one commitments to
New Haven County Jail, all but six were de-
cidedly iatemperate-and out Of fnty-eight COM
lnitments to the Windham County Jail, fifty
two were Incorporate. During the same peri
cd, there have been no less than five or six
murders in the State, and in every instance the
criminals were under the influence of i~ntoxica-
tion when the crimes were committed. We
doubt not, il the facts were ascertained, like
startling disclosures would be made concerning
North Carolina. How preposterous that a sys-
trm that produces such fruits should DO put I'M
der the protection of law, and . licensed for the
public good !"

were many good men who never drank or
had any inclination to do 50. But such
men had a vast deal of influence in society ;
and among the circle of their acquaintance
and friends, there were always some who
were not blessed with such a full share of
moral frmness, and who needed some res
training influence. When such men were
asked to sign the pledge, they pointed with
triumph to the example Of their temperate
non-pledged friends, as an argument against
the necessity Of any such formal restraint
In such a case, it became the solemn duty
of all good men to follow the example of the
great Apostle, and throw the influence of
their names as well as their example on the
side Of temperance organizations and he
hoped that there was not one of that eongre-
CATION who would hesitate to do so on that
occasion. He concluded by urging this du-
ty upon the ladies. They he admitted, did
not drink intoxicating liquors, but they had
fathers. husbands, brothers, and lovers-who
did. Their influence was never exerted in
vain, if exerted properly. They should set
tie noble example, and he feared not for the
tesu.t.
TIE conclusion Of this discourse presented
Saaw view ofthe subject to the mind of Fan
NJ. She had never thought of signing the
Ysedgel But now, when. as was his usual
custom on Sabbath evenings, the minister
asked all who felt disposed to come forward
and join thepselves to this fair handmaid Of
religion, she could not decline the invitation.
She uose to go forward to the desk OF
which the pledge was placed, but instructive
y turned to her companion. Her glance
met hist was full of silent eloquence-it
spoke, more plainly and forcibly than word,
could tell, the language Of Love and Hope
it pointed with prophetic emphasis, to the
rosy dawn Of PEAcEl
No word was spoken-but side by side
the lovers walked to the sacred desk, and
signed their names to the second Declaration
of Independenee-the Magma Charta of uni

THE TEXAN DIFFICULTY.

The latest intelligence from Texas represents
an exciting state Of affairs there. The Legisla.

repel any attempt Of the General Government
to obstruct her by force, in the exercise Of Stat,
authority within her constitutional limits. TIL,
sentiments of the Governor seem 10 be the pre-
vailing views Of the press and people, Of all par
ties. Wing and democratic papers agree in thi
statement. The South-W Western American, a

that we are on the eve of a civil war, and WIN
the end will be, Heaven only knows. God pre-

The latest news from Texas is, that the LIE
