W < s~ENsITIvENEss.

There is a false sentiment which prevails
very generally, relative to the exposure of
and immortality, when perpetrated by
those who occupy exalted positions in society,
which is calculated more to undermine the So
cial relations, and produce a false popular judg-
ment, than any of the evils of the day. If a
man high in public estimation is detected in
the commission of deeds which should con-
sign him to infamy and disgraee-or sinks HIM
self to a level with the brute in the indulgence
of sensual and degrading vices-how soon do
we hear the cry from the Press, and through
out all the ramiications of society, that " the
heart siekens" at the contemplation, and the
pen refuses to record the humiliating circum-
stance. Its recital is refrained from, and the
former good deeds and virtues of the offender
are paraded before the world, and the tear Of
sympathy is shed over the misfortunes of the
unhappy nabob. But let one who occupies
the middle or lower ranks Of society be guilty
of discrepancy, or it may be, of some fragrant
outrage against propriety, honesty and NOR
atty, and never a word is uttered to mitigate the
misfortune or spare the feelings of those whose
names are Unidentified with his, and whose char
acter is to some extent involved in his;-but
on the contrary, all the particulars, however
disgusting and humiliating, are paraded before
the world with the most studied minuteness,
and the feelings Of all concerned are forgotten
in the earnest desire to consign the miscreant
to his merited obloquy. The poor and igno-
rant may frequently be led to the commission
of crime and to the indulgence in evil habits,
from vicious c~ounsels, from poverty and want,
and through lack of proper moral training in
youth. But if the educated, refined gentleman,
be guilty of acts which bring disgrace and
punishment upon him, it argues an utter des-
%titution of mora. principle and integrity Of
heart. Such an one is a bad man, and instead
of having a claim upon the sympathies of the
world, those ~sympathes properly belong to a
very different grade of offenders-or rather
to that class which, by the practical sympathies
of the truly philanthropic, may be rescued from
the paths of vice and delivered from the pow
er of temptation.

WRONG OPINION.

Many believe it to be unjust that they should
be taxed for the support of individuals redu-
ced to poverty by the incorporate use of in
toxicating liquors, obtained from the bars of
licensed tdverns and licensed grogshops.
We with the South Carolina Temperance
Advoeate) doubt the correctness of this senti-
ment. On the contrary, We are inclined to
believe, that the paupers manufactured GccOY-
ding to Lar, ought to be a public burden, just
as they are. When we, as a body corporate,
license our neighbor to roba family of their
means of subsistence, and especially when the
corporation gets a part of the spoils, it becomes
the imperative duty of society to support such
a family. 1t is right then, that the communi-
ty at large are taxed for the support of the
victims of a licensed traffic and if 1t could be
effected without inficting too much wretched-
ness upon the innocent, we could wish that
the burden were increased, until those who
bear it, should awake to the wickedness of the
system, and be induced to work a thorough re-
form.
So long as we tolerate and license drunkard-
making, and take a bonus of the man who en-.
cages in it, We ought to be responsible for all
consequences, both pecuniary and otherwise
1t is a maxim of law, universally recognized
that the principaIis liable for the acts of hi.
regularly constituted agent, especially wher
the agent is within the general scope OF hi
authority. We insist that every licensed dram
seller and beggar-maker is our agent, and ha
our written authority for doing all that he does
e Qui tacit per alum, facit per se," is a veneer
able maxim of law. Society then, cannot rn
itself of the responsibility or duty of support
ing the work of its own hands. Let us first di
vorce ourselves from our foul connection wit
the unrighteous system of pauper-making, an
then we may talk of injustice and oppression
in supporting paupers thus made. Until W
do this, let us meekly bear these ills without
murmur. The guilt clings to us like the shil
Of Nessus, and we mus repent, and do worE
" meet for repentance " before we can RICH
eously escape the consequences.
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1851-01-17
THE NATURE OF OUR ORDER.

In our last, we spoke of tie "PLEDGE,"
the great fundamental principle of our organ
ization. We now proceed to descant upon
others of its cardinal virtues. The Order of
the Sons of Temperance isa benevolent and
charitable society. This is a world ofsuffering,
disappointment and sorrow. And suffering
and sorrow are often the cause, as well as the
effect, of intemperance. A man fails in bust
ness, his fortunes are ruined, his credit gone,
and his reputation injured. In his suffering
and anguish, the world, and perhaps some of
his former friends, leave him without sympathy
and without comfort. Thus forsaken. in his
hour of darkness and extremity, is itsurpri-
sing that in the agony of despair, he should
seek to drown his sorrow in the oblivion of
drunkenness? As a benevolent society, we
remove as far as possible this cause of intern
perance. We rally around the man, and ex-
tend to him a brothers ccnfdence-a brothers
comfort and a brothers assistance. We cheer
his responding spirits, comfort his disconsolate
soul, and help him to retrieve his fallen for
tunes. We assist him when in want, nurse
him when sick, and wipe from his brow, the
gathering death damps when dying. With
heartfelt sorrow we follow his remains to the
tomb, drop the warm tear of sympathy over
his grave, and then return to soothe-he sor.
rows of his heart-broken wife, and provide fol
the wants Of his orphan children.
The Order is also al organized association
in which there is combined energy and united
effort. Men often become Incorporate from
individual weakness. They have not the
strength to brave the array of opposition tina
they meet with in advocating temperance il
principle and practice. As a society, we unitt
our energies, and where there is union Their,
is strength. Though as individuals we arr
weak, and in single combat with the enemy
would in all probability be overcome, as an or
ganized body we are strong, and WELD an in
iuence in society equal, If not greater thai
that welded by the oppOsers of the temper
ance reform. Hence, we have no cause TO
fear; for if We are faithful to our principles
success must ultimately crown our efforts, anC
victory perch upon our banner.

DEATH FROM -DRUNKENNEss

A lad named Mays-an apprentice in the
establishment of the Messrs. Diupuid was
found dead in his bed on Christmas morning.
On mquiring into the cause of the death. Il
was ascertained that on the evening before.
a rum seller by the name of Wood, had sold
the lad a quantity of liquor which he drank
at one draught. He was soon completely
intoxicated, and in this state Of utter sense
lessness was privately conveyed to his bed by
his fellow apprentices who were DESTROYS to
conceal the knowledge of his condition from
their employers, little dreaming, however,
that they were bearing him to the bed Of
death
1t gives vi pain to record such an occur.
renee in this community, and in doing it we
find some difficulty in restraining the per
from the merited castigation which the con.
duct of the rum-seller prOvokes. 1t is some
times better, however, to leave the contem
plation of such a deed to the silent sterr
mentions Of conscience, which if it be no
scared, must prove a tormenting companion
constantly holding up to the agonized view
Of the possessor, the ill-gained dime which il
thus "crusted GER with the blood of thu
murdered apprentice and blistered with the
tears Of his bereaved friends.

OUR W EVIDENCES.

We aver with confidence (remarks the
Baltimore FoUntGia)-no matter what may
be the current opinion upon the subject
that no man need enter our Order blind
folded. Let all who desire to enter, first
withdraw the bandage ofprejudice from their
eyes, which being closely bound there, pre-
vents their perception of truth-thus they
will be enabled to see the Order in its true
light. Then they cannot fail Of reading there
pure purposes, benelolent designs, and rep
reservations of all the hottest and best attri-
butes of our nature.
If they are not then convinced of the ex-
cellency of our objects, let them look still
further, at the streams of blessedness which
are flowing out from the courts Of temper
ance. See the flowers which have sprung
up in many a path! See the light which
beams in many an eye! Hear the songs Of
joy, which come warbling up, with bird-like
melody from many a bounding heart.
In many a gladdened cottage
The smile of Joy is beaming;
Where once did flow the tears of woe
The tears Of bliss are streaming.
Or, if these evidences are insufficient, Lei
them go to the sick mans chamber, and watch
those who move about there, on velvety and
silent foot, and minister to the dying, with
hand of tenderness and heart of warmest sym
patty. Furthermore, do they still persist il
skepticism, let them observe how, after 'life'
ftful fever is over" the kindly offers o
friendship are performed, in giving to thu
remains ola departed Brother the rites ofde
cent sepulture, and how they still minister II
the wants of those left behind him. AL
this is the result of the inner workings Q
/, our Order. These manifestations are bu
solutions of the mystery which enshrouds us
t but the aspects Of light, through which PEI
S feet understanding of the objects of the fr;
ternity are viewed.
Our outward works give u~ndisputed IN
u~nmistakable evidence of inward purity
design. As much of our economy is cor
!; pretended, as of any of the operations
Nature or of Science ; why then, how the
can any intelligent and unprecedented mil
20 mistrust us
