Davidson College

We were present for a SHOT lime at Da-
wilson College. A large c~oncourse of peo-
pie were present, and the exercises were
conducted with much credit TO all the par
ties concerned. The address of the Rev.
Mr.. Palmer has been very fatteringly
spoken of. And on Thursday, Hon. J. B.
O'Neal electrified a large audience with
one of his able addresses. To handsome
halls, erected by the Eumensan and Phil
anthropic Societies improve the grounds
very much.
The College appears to be Increasing in
public favor, and will probably have du-
ring the approaching sessios, more Stu
dents than ever.
The Rev. Mr.. Rockwell, agentleman Of
considerable reputation, has been elected
to the newly created professtWe have

chapel, the grounds of Davidson would bt

Present Position of the Cause.

The veteran editor of the Journal of the
american Temperance Union, in noticing the
eX~travagantly eulogistic, as we'll as unde-
servedly deprecatory accounts, (as the
state of feeling may be for the time with
their utterers,) which are occasionly met
with both in speeches and papers, holds
this discreet, sound, and Withal, truthful
language
"We need calmer view of things in
all our publications. Were the whole tenn
perance reformation TO die out to day, we
have accomplished a mighty work Of pre-
tory and is not to be wrested from US
But it has not died out. A vast portion of
this great republic are the glad subjects of
its influence and will be until they die
men and women, ministers, lawyers, me-
chanics, agriculturists, who were as much
as any the devoted subjects of the old drink
ing usages. Great principles have been
discussed and established, which, with
thousands and millions, are the law of their
life,-the law Of families,-of social gath
erings, and of Christian churches. At the
same time We have a vast floating and
reckless population young men throwing
off all restraint foreigners pouring in up
on US by the million, gathering around
our wharves and depots, and congregatlne
in large cities, who neither know nor care
for this or any other reform; and a multi
tude of vendors entering to their vile ap-
petites and ready to sell anything for gain
And in our upper ranks, where fashion
sets at defiance all moral principle an,
rules with despot's rod, there is d %contin
uance of the old usages truly pitiable.-
But be it remembered time was, and tina
not far distant, when every man, woman
and child in the nation drank. If there
was one who did not drink of the intoxi
eating cup, he was a strange being, an a
nomaly in society. And more time was
when it was not only thought by all harm
less to drink, but useful. We hope oul
friends will everywhere keep On in a steady
march, giving heed to 10 fears or sudden
impulses, and lndulging in no ~extravagan
declarations of success. Our course is t.
be one of light and shade and, in the
darkest hour when some may think tina
they, andthey only are left, there may be
6 seven thousand who have not bowed the
knee to Baal."

under consideration, beg leave to report
the following Preamble and Resolution. and
recommend their adoption:
WHEREAS, THIS Division has been IN
formed through the " Spirit of the Age"
that the National Division of the Sons OF
Temperance, at its recent session in the
city of Boston, resolved by a vote of 81 to
10, to erase from our obligation the words
g in this respect" thereby rendering the
Pledge in all its phases" binding to the
end Of life and whereas We believe such
an alteration in the Pledge to be a radical
change in the principles of the Order from
what they were when we connected our
selves with it therefore,
Be at reSolUed, That we most respectful
ly enter our solemn and firmly decided
Protest against this proceeding OF the Nat.
Division, as ~transcending the power pro-
perly delegated to them, and as calculated
in its effects to break down the Order
While we regard the National Division as
the " supreme power of the Order" and
as the body having "poWer to alter, amend,
abolish, or explain any of the existing asa
geS or lars, as we'll as to establish new
%ones," yet we can concede to no body on

any legislation by the National Division
in reference to the Pledge, (Which certain
ly ought to be considered as distinct from
the usages and laws) seems SO apparent tc
us, that we have full confidence that The
next National Division, upon a reconsider
alton of this question, will take such &C
ton as will relieve the Order from the EN-
barrassed state into which it has beer
thrown by this ill-advised proceeding, am
again restore confidence and harmony.

a Drunkard's Heirs.

u, of V, commenced the world a
poor man but by industry and economy
he amassed a large property, so that he
spent the latter part of his life IN the luxu-
az efe~nssttAndant UPON Wealth when not
a pleasant part of his grounds, and at q
short distance from his house, he prepared
an elegant family tomb, to which were
SUCCESSFULLY committed his own and his
wife's remains. Three sons inherited his
estate, and lived for a number Of years in
luxury and lordly independence. Some
years since n of these sons was. called
to bury his wife, whose remains were COM
mitted to the same family tomb. This
large independent estate is now wasted
These heirs to unearned wealth have moth
ing which they can call their own, but are
dependent on daily labor for the susten-
ance of their families. The door Of the
tomb has been thrown down, and for 7 or 8
years these sons have suffered the remains
of their parents, and of the wife of one of
them, though within a stones throw of
their door, to lie exposed to the open air,
and the examination Of every intruder;
nay, to be scattered upon the floor, and
without the door of the tomb; and ever to
be t~rampled upon by sheep and other ami
mails that are permitted to Craze in the
field where the tomb lies. Monumental
inscriptions have been defaced, and a
mouse has built its nest among the bones
Of her whose husband lives near by!
And what has been the cause OF all this
waste of property, this beastly insensibili-
ty? Habits of luxury and idIeness, but
the grand cause of the whole has been
Mtemperence. "She has cast down many
wounded, yea. many strong men have
been slain by her. Her house is the way
to hell, going down to the chambers O
death. Proverbs Z +: 26, 81.

Bro. German Throughout the bounds
of the United States, wherever the Sons
of Temperance have been known, and es-
pecially within the limits Of Old North
Carolina, where there is a Division of the
Sons Of Temperance in almost every city,
town, village and respectable neighbor-
hood, the ladies have been both looked up
on, and received as the humble co-labor-
ers with the Sonso Of Temperance. Many
of them have made manifest their love for
the Order" both privately and publicly.
Ing to advance this ""t66ee' cause nus cora Of ali r man nam
kind" I have not been privileged latter
ly, OF perusing the columns Of your Spirit
of the Age but / have been there deligh-
ted with some "good news and glad IL
dings from the ladies, in favor of this
glorious cause of freedom. Their smiles
have indeed been with us. And we'll
might we with the Bard sing
eve have the ladies on our side,
And merry men are we."
My object in writing this Communica-
ton, is not however to exaggerate the char.
acter of those who have done so valiant
ly in this good cause. l have very re-
Gently been informed, by a correspondent,
that the ladies' of the western part of N.
Carolina are very much opposed to the
Sons of Temperance. am much surpri-
sed, and very sorry that the ladies ofsome
Of those western counties have started
something new in the character of the
fair sex. Ladies opposed to Temperance, and
that to the Sons Of Temperament | am as
tonished al the very idea of such a thing !!
Who can find such a thing recorded in
Ancient or Modern history? I have not
been informed what objections they have
tried to raise to the Order of the Sons of
Temperance. l would suppose that they
would make a great to do, (if they see
cause) about these secret institutions. We
would suppose that they were not inform
ed thatthey could have an Order, Gas some
other ladies) similar to that of the Sons
1t appears to me very strange how people
can, (on account of some frivolous excuse)
oppose a ca0oe which has done so much
for the human family. How can the la
dies dare such a thing? Do they want
drunken husbands, fathers, brothers, and
sons? If they oppose the Order of the
Sons of Temperance, such will and should
be their fate. ONSLOW.

CAPACITY OF A SOIL TO ENDURE con-
SLANT CULTIvATIoN.-The capacity OF a
soil to support for a series Of years, the
cultivated crops, depends mainly upon the
following conditions :
1. Upon the quantity of water it can im-
blbe or retain, during the seasons which
would be considered dry.
3. On the account Of nutritious matter
which may be introduced without waste
A supply of water must ever be regar-
ded as one of the most essential things I'm
the cultivation Of all crops. This water
must be retained long enough to act upon
the nutriment in the soil it must not es-
cape Immediately from the superior part
of the soil, or that part through which it usu-
ally ramifes. The quantity of nutrlment
which may be condensed in a soil, depends
too upon its retentiveness for water; IT 1t
is too porous, if it is speedily washed out
and lost if too close, it is not received lnto
it but is lost by exhalation from the sur
face; in cultivation then, we seek to modl-
fy both extremes, the object in all cases
being to secure that texture which snaat
give it certain relations to water, winch
experience and reason have determined 70
be the best.

Is Some of the papers think the friends
OF temperance have much reason without
any reference to politics, to mourn the
death of President Taylor. He was a
strict teetotaler for more than 20 years.
and for several years previous to his bril-
liant career in Mexico he not only caused
temperance societies to be formed among
the soldiers, at the garrison under his COM
mand, west of the Mississippi, but also
caused scores of temperance papers to be
distributed among them.

He who yields himselfto Vice, must in
evitably suffer. If the human law does
not convict and punish him, the moral law,
which will have obedience, will follow him
to his doom. Every crime is committed
for a purpose, with some idea Of future
personal pleasure; and just as surely as
God governs the universe, SO surely does
a crime, although concealed, destroy the
happiness of the future. No matter how
deeply laid have been the plans OF the
criminal, or how desperately executed, de-
lection pursues himlike a bloodhound, and
tracks him to his fate.
