THE NATIONAL DIVISION.


We have noticed already that the Nation
al Division of the Sons of Temperance will
hold its Eight Annual Session at Toronto,
Canada West, in June next, and will be at
tended by representatives from all the States,
the British Provinces, and probably from
England and Scotland. On many accounts
it will be one of the most imposing assem-
blages which the presentage ofgreat eonven-
tons has yet witnessed. A constituency of
three hundred thousand men will be repre-
sented there, by a delegation of large-heart-
ed, single-minded men, having in view the
most unexcepionable, lofty and pure objects,
and pursuing those objects without the re-
hottest expectation of any present reward,
save that which springs from the conscious
ness of wishing to do good to their fellow
men.
The great aim of this vast organization is
the suppression of the most desolating and
degrading vice of the age-that vice which
renders nugatory nearly all that is done for
the spiritual and temporal welfare of man.
Experience proves that the Order has formed
a plan of action which is remarkably efficient
and adapted to its end. The nine years Gifts
operation have been marked by wonderful
gains, and a wonderful power to retain its &C
QUESTIONS. And it seems but reasonable to
believe that if the same means are employed
in the future, with the same fidelity and wis
dom, the effect must soon be the complete
overthrow of the rum influence.
1t would seem to be the dictate of wisdom
that the National Division, the supreme tri
bunal and legislature Of the Order, should ad
l. here closely to the one great object Of its in
stitution, medling as little as possible witt
topics which do not directly relate to tn,
emancipation of society from drinking usa
ges. 1t is the common besetment ofsuch bod
les to launch out into diffuse legislation, b
which means the main object dwindles int
an affair of inferior moment, and doubtfI
questions o engender disputation and di
a cord. We thought some degree of this tel
le dency manifested itself last year, and unle
Is guarded against it will grow upon us. "
to hope to see our Order avoiding the rock {
ne which so many good institutions have spl
re We hope the National Division this yes
and in future years, will keep its eye stedfa

ne der, leaving the itch for Legislation on sm'
"a matters and minute arrangements tosuborC
.ds nate bodies. We have a work to do viii
demands the utmost concentration ofthoug
VI and purpose, and the vigilant exclusion Of
by that can distract and divide. We shall so

Bro. GoRMAS For the encouragement of
the friends Of Temperance, l would say that
the cause is advancing in this region. We had
what we call turnout in Owensville last Sat
urday. The Owensville Division, Joined by
some Of our brethren from R-ose-wreath Divis-
ion, met in our room, and after making the ne
cessary arrangements, we marched to a Pine
Grove, not far off, and after singing our Open
ing Ode, we were addressed on the evils Of in
temperance by DR.. E. L. Perkins, and from the
best l can learn, his labor was not in vain.-
Persons that were present, though some of them
drink, acknowledge the truth Of what he said
Our Division was organized the I'd of Septem.
Der, 1850, with IL members, we now number
some %. At that time there was a grog shoI
in something over a hundred yards Of our Di
vision, with which We have had to contend, Blu

VISIT OF TIE SONS.

We have not as much space as we desire,
to notice the Temperance trip on Saturday
but will do the best we can.
A respectable number ofthe New Hanover
Division started on Saturday morning, for
Smithyile, in the fine little steamer John C.
Calhoun. They arrived there about noon,
and were received by the Sons of Smith
vile, in front of the barracks, and escorted to
the NJ. E. Church where, after the reading
ofa Psalm and Prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Nc
Daniel, a neat and appropriate address was
delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Burkhead. Sew
eral impromptu addresses followed, and a
very good one by Samuel Langdon, ESQ.,
" Ourself did sally FORTH" also on that occa,
sion. Appropriate odes were sung. Aftel
being dismissed, the company marched to Ii,
house Of Mr.. Owen, where an excellent dime
was provided. Whether the parties partool
of said dinner or not, we leave the reader t
guess. The Wilmington Division returne,
J in the Boat, and arrived in town about dusl
I The Wilmington Division will long remem

which he was compelled to meet on Saturday.
On Friday morning he reached our village, gave
two addresses-one in the afternoon, the other
at night, the result of which was, that instead
of fifteen, our Division now numbers FoRTY-oNE,
and still they come The public feeling has
been awakened on this subject, and we trust
