not see daily, instead of hundreds, thou-
sands, focking to its standard, enlisting IN
der its banner? Why is it that 50 many of
our best and most worthy citizens, and those
too, who profess to be the friends Of Tenn
peranee. stand aloof from tho Order?
And members of the Church of Cod
why do they oppose it, (which they certainly
do so far as their example extends, and that
who can measure?O by their standing afar of,
and refusing to unite with us in pushing the
ship of Temperance to its ultimate haven Of
repose. But | do not charge them with
being influenced by impure motives; no, far
from it. But it is because they have not
given the subject that consideration its inn
p~ortance demands ; but when they do, they
viii renounce their error, unite with us, and
become as jealous laborers in the cause Of
Temperance, as they now are in the glorious
cause of their Redecmer.
What is the object of the Sons Of Temper
ance? 1t is to do good and only good.
What is its ultimate Everlasting good.
Is it doing good? Has it done goodf That
man has yet to live, who can say aught but
good. Then why do they not join the
Order 81
Fathers, let me ask you the question,
why do you stay out of the Division Room
thereby e~xerting an influence that may cause
that boy Of thine to rise up against thee in
the last day. and say, thou hast sent me tc
a drunkard's hell. Bear in mind your great
responsibility as fathers, remembering that
God gave you those sons, with the express
command, that thou shouldst train them NJ
in the way they should go Then I would
say, stay out Of the Order no longer. Have
your names enrolled in the book of consti
buttons. that when your warning voice shall
be hushed in death, your example may con
tinue to say, this is the way. walk ye in it
Are you raising them up to moderate drink
ing? Remember that poor degraded sot
was once the moderate drinker. Loci
around you for the fathers, who raised NJ
their sons as you are doing, and count, how
many do you find now drunkards, or havI
already filed the drunkards gravel A
least one in every family! As theirs hav'
done. so may you expect yours to do, unles
you {" teach them the unhoIy cup to shun.
What father can brook the idea of maxim
his son a drunkard 2-the heart sickens
the thought. Then, in conclusion, I woul
say again, unite yourselves with the Orde
of the Sons Of Temperance. and lead you
| sons, while in their youth, to the fountain
Of pure water, that they may drink and live
S an honor to you and the age, that your gra
e hairs may descend to the grave in joy an
not in sorrow. FILlUS.

CONGRESS-.
wAsHlNoroN. Feb. y, 1851.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ~, 1881.
The Senate resumed the consideration
Of Mr. Clay's motion to refer the mes
sage Of the President.
Mr.. Downs addressed the Senate for
more than ala hour in defence of the Com
promise measures Of the last session, and
particularly of the efficiency and propri-
ETY. OF The fugitive law. He maintained
that the Compromise had been scquies-
ced in by the people, and thatit would
be adhered to. and every portion Of it
strictly executed and carried out in good
faith
Mr.. Clemens of Ala. (Dem.) defended
the President, who had done his duty as
a man snd as a patriot. He regarded
the fugitive law as having been success
fully carried out every where except in
Boston. He did not consider the mob
as any evidence that ever there he law
would not be executed. Mobs had &C
CURED every where.
Mr.. Borland commended that the COM
promise had been a complete failure
The South had been deluded with the
idea that this fugitive law would be ex-
ecuted, and i: was now evident it would
not and could not be executed. Nor was
agitation QUOTED. Discussions had al
ready taken place at this session, and
strange 10 say, had taken place on prop
ositions introduced by the author Of the
compromise.
Mr.. Turney also took the ground that
this law was not executed and would moi
be executed and the compromise had ut
terfg failed in its design.
MI. Chase conceded with the two las
Senators in their opinion OF the compro'
mise. He regarded the decision Of tht
Supreme Court in deciding that it wa.
not the duty Of the States to execute th'
provision OF the constitution for the re
covery Of fugitive slaves. as %expungInE
practically that provision from the con
stitutinn.
Mr.. Dodge, Of Iowa, followed in de
fence Of The compromise. He regarded
the law as having been executed every
where except in Boston. He did no
consider the mob in Boston as indicaiiy,
of Massachusetts, sentiments be prefer
red supposing the demonstration a
/ Springfield against the miscreant Thomp
son as a better expression Of their feel
ing. He vas very severe upon tn,
white abolitionists.
Mi. Douglass followed. He contends
that to say the fugitive law could not b
executed was 10 imply a gross calumn,
on the people of the free States.
MI. Cass followed in defence Of th
compromise acts. and in maintenance 9
! the proposition that the fugitive law ha,
/ been Except in Boston.) and would b
successfully executed.
+ Mr.. Berrien obtained the floor ; tn
subject was postponed till Monday, an,
r then the Senate adjourned till Monda,
at IL o'clock.

S.Lrsnnnr. Feh. Dig. 1a61,

Bro. GoRMAN Learning through the me-
dium of your paper, that quite a number of
the Divisions in North Carolina are prosper
ing. I embrace this opportunity Of assuring
you. that Salisbury Division is fully alive to
her interest, as well as to the interest Of the
great reformation throughout the Old North
State. Though Hercules has left our Di-
vision and connected himself to Rowan Di-
vision, yet, we have some who WELD a power
full influence, and leave not a stone unturn-
ed. Some of our bitterest enemies are Civ
ing up their old ship Of prejudice and oppo-
sition, aud are Aocking to the standard not
of the brave and bloodthirsty soldier seek
ing reputation, /" but to that banner whose
motto is, to. reform and instil into man
those higher designs for which God created
him. Although we had Bro. White with rs
on the 9th ult., and were delighted witt
his eloquence, and great power of delinea
ting human nature, yet the jealous Sons O
Salisbury, had left but few in the field fel
him to bring into our Order. The excite
ment was fully up before Bro. White arri
we'd, and but grows with time. Since tn
commencement Of this quarter, Salisbur.
Division has initiated thirty members, an'
have some five lying over for our next meet
ing. Rowan Division has done equally q
well if not better. God speed them in tn
glorious cause.
Yours, in L. P. l. F. G.

pecially the coastlng trade from the Eas-
tern States TO the Gulf of Mexico and

coast of dangerous character, and it is
proposed to remedy existing difficulties

marie Sound, where if is said a good
ship channel formerly existed, and to
construct a dam or embankment 2 IL
miles in length, across Croetan and Ro
anoke Sounds. It is given as the opin,
ion Of scientific men who have invest.
gated The subject. that this measure j:
practicable, that will involve a com
paraiively small expense, and one tina
will result in all that is desired.
