TEMPERANCE Lecture.
lished.

Mr.. EDITOR The Rev DIR. Nicely, deliver
ed his second Temperance Lecture, on Wednes-
day evening last and truly it was rich treat to
che lovers of the temperance cause, and from the
manner in which the Doctor was applauded,
would Judge that great portion of the audience
(which was large approved of the principles ad-
yocated in his lecture.
The object of his last lecture was to show 'fhat
the cause Of temperaace,s troceabIe to oar natural
and social orgdnizotion'' He spoke first of our
natural organization" and showed from physio-
logical principles, that man is naturally "exctabe
and restless - and that if the physical and men
tai man is not sufficiently excited by the ordinary
pursuits of fe that he will seek it by resorting to
the bottle.
In the second place, he spoke of our ''social or
ganizatlon, and clearly showed that 1t was pro-
life source of ntemperance. Under this head he
showed--frst that the custom of fashionable So
ciety, such the of wine, DC, at parties and
festivals, was stepping stone to intemperance.
Second, the false distinctions in society, by
which, the working classes, mechanics, &C., are
excluded from what is so called the higher circles,
often drives such thus excluded, first to a
disrespect of themselves, and secondly, to intem-
perance.
Third that the practice of society, in abandon
ing the drunkard after aiding in making him such,
only rivets the chain more firmly him, and rem
ders his reformation impossible, when thus left I'M
aided and then wound up his lecture by showing,
s'that in as much as the origin of great amount of
the evil of intemperaEce, was social, even SO, the
remedy for it should be of ike nature.
The design of his next lecture, will be to show
the sufficiencv of the organization of the Sons of
Temperance, as a remedy for ntemperance and
the consequent obligation of the moral and reig-
ous portion ofsociety, to affiliate with that Order.
Come then to the Temperance Hall, Wednesday
evening next, at 81 P. NJ, and hear the Doctor
for yourselves, and see if your head does not feel
clearer, your eyes look brighter, and your heart
feel better on the next morning, than they would
if you had spent the night, discussing the merits of
basket of Champagne, or decanter of Dexter's
best. w S

VIII the Delegates be Instructed.

The question, ''Will the Eighth of January conven-
ton instruct the Delegates it sends to BALTIMORE, is
asked on every side. We cannot answer. We do not
know who authorized the call of the convention. We
find it announced, by whom and for what special pur
pose beyond what appears upon the face the CALL
is impossible to conceive panic political stasn
pede appears to have come the noser and bragg
CART part of the States Right men, and nearly all the
press give way before the shameless fight those We
ny who led the democracy into its present attitude
The success of Foote has driven into courses of
policy pernicous that which they denounced in
him and his friends. But this too apparent to talk a
bout.
We come back to the point Will the Convention
instruct its Delegates to Baltimore If so, on what
points There are many counties that we have been
informed will send delegates unless something def
mite is known touching the probable action of the
proposed convention. The people should be aroused
to its objects they should be informed gifts design
and the purposes it is to subserVe Of course those
who felt authorized TO call 1t, tell the People uhat it
IS intended to d. andwhile their hands in, let them
tell what doctrnehey propose pledge the State
to. How much of the State Rights creed it is pro-
posed to abandon If we should be answered that the
Convention simply proposes TO send delegates to
Democratic National convention to nominate Demo
crG for the Presidency answer, that the delegates
will find in their Northern brothers, Democracy
the Democracy of Foote, Cobb, Andrew Jackson Dom
elson ct i'd one genus. The delegates will be thrown
among Democracy which recognizes Foote and Cobb
as the true expounders of the democratic faith de-
mocracy which pronounces JEFFERSON DAVIS heretic
the MisssSsppian false expostor of the creed dem
ocratic, and the Flag Of the Union, and the Natchez
Courier the inspired apostles of the last Revelation
In view of these facts, it becomes important know
what sort of Democracy is proposed herd WITH and
whether the State Rights democrat will not have
yield his doctrine to those 'Higher Law' gentlemen
Foote and Cobb, who maintain that the General Gov
eminent possesses the power ofcoercng State by the
force of arms. We desire to know then if delegates
to go to Baltimore with restraints whether
they simply to exercise the discretionary power of
pedgng not pledging, the State of Mississippi,
they please. If this is all, the Foote delegates had
better be seeeted-they will be more plant and SUBJ
seent and this will close up the breach in the dem
cratic party calamity which to have disturbed
diverse gentlemen exceedingly lately. Beside this,
they will require certificate from his Exceency, H.
S. Foote of their peculiar fitness to the North
democracy. Our State Rights friends should take
this under adysement 1t is speedy method of set
tlement, and it would knock the old Wbig party into
fits.

A liberal proposition.

Our wing Union friends in this county are now, un-
fortunately, without organ the Republican having
discover from the last ISSUE kicked them Off
Always liberal to opponents, we tender to the Union
whigs the of our columns to defend themselves
gainst the bowie knife slashes ofthe Primitive.
Messrs Cobb and Billups, their friends, nvit-
ed to this generous proposition and hope that they
will not stand upon ceremony. Sympathy for the un-
fortunate and distressed exercises powerful influence
us and we'll resist these of appeals
The uncandid and heartless will asperse motive
but the smiles of the succored and the greeting of the
generous and charitable, will repay for trouble.

mississippi viii appeal to Alabama through her
public press within two months she will be responded
to. Georgia will enter the organizations Tennessee,
Louisiana, North and South Carolina, Texas and Ark
ansas will join her, and with public opinion
centrated. acting in unison, the Northern Democracy
WILL YIELD. But let Mississippi enter the Con-
vention and she will hazard her dignity, hercharacter
and her institutions. She will take to her bosom

Dec. 9Th, 1851,

Shall the Southern States send delegates to the
next National Convention ? is question that is
now engaging the serious consideration of every
true friend of the country If the South is repre-
sented in it, she will be bound in honor by its ac
ton, whatever that may be. Shall she place her
self voluntarily in such position? Shall not the
Southern Rights party rather organize, send dele
gates to Southern Convention, and nominate =
ticket which will represent the true sentiments OF
the southern people What hope has the South
from the North but aggression, and insult upon in
suit? 1t seems to me that the true policy for the
South to pursue, is to keep out of National Conyen-
tons, but send delegates to meet at some central
point, Montgomery, for instance, and at a time
soon after the National Conventions meet, and then
if the nominee of the National Convention is accep
table to the South. the Southern Convention would
ratify, by appropriate resolutions, but if the nomi
nee should not be acceptable then let the Southern
Convention make nomination to represent the
true Southern principles. There are no names
that stand so conspicuous as JEFF. DAVIS, and
j. Mop. BERRIEN. 1t might be said that this
woald be sectional ticket. Let it be SO. the
North has been acting sectional principles for the
last thirty years, and it is good adage that if YOU
would whip the devil, you must fight him with fire.
What say you to these suggestions a. N.
