REVIEW OF "W'S" ARTICLE
No. I. on the s, OFT,
ANSELNTO.

"W" commences his pompous article
in the following strain: ''The Order of
the Sons of Temperance is child of
Divine Providence, sprung into exis-
tence, by those to whom the Great God
had committed its origin, without any
set purpose, on their part, to found such
an Order" Now knew the gentleman
was frothy and efervescent, but this is a
stretch ahead of anything | had conceiv-
ed of him. lfsome dozen or so, OF men
assemble and form society, it needs
mast be dubbed a Son of God, by some
of its proselytes and those originators be
compared with the Apostles; and if we
descend another step, suppose we will
find "N" figuring as kind of second
st. Paul. What pity there is not a
spare niche in the calendar for his name,
where it might be commemorated among
stale anecdotes and signs ofthe weather.
Mr.. "W' first tells us those men, who
had been picked out from among their
fellows, by Divine Providence, to COM
mence this great work, went about it
"without any set purpose on their part,
to found such an Order,"- a little
lower down in his article, he gives the
words of those gentlemen, informing us
the object of the meeting was to form a
Society based on Total Abstinence.
What terrible hand he makes of it, in
attempting to pawn off on the commu-
nifty this humbug as a Divine Mission.
"W" next brings in hyperbolic quota
ton, resembling that celebrated speech
which he rehemsed a year or two ago at
all the mass meetings he attended; and
as he spoke but the one, | suppose the
"Milford Bard" or some other speech
writer, composed it for him. 1t consisted
OF a few anecdotes patched up together,
and fired off with the following oratori-
cal flash, as near as can remember, de-
scribing the downfall of the Order.
eyes! The Order is going down like the
rivulets from the mountains brow, that mingle
in the valley beneath! Going down! like the
streams from the valleys that unite in the great
Susquehanna! Going down. like the waters of
the Susquehanna till they mingle with the waves
OF the mnJestic Chesapeake! Going down! like
the tide OF the Chesapeake till lost within the blue
pillows OF the Atlantic, which bathes both hem
ispheres."
This is WIS rhetoric, "every line,
For God sake, reader, take it not for mine.n
He, however, omitted the most strik.
ing figure Of all. Had he said, Going
down! like Ounce from the speakers

sive than all the rest, himself being a
personation Of the simile.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1851-03-22

Mr.. "W' tells us the intention of the
Order was to arrest the rum trade, to
bring its traifickers under the indigna-
ton of wronged and outraged people,
&C.; things which it has never performed,
for the trade is as extensive at the pres
ent time as when the Order was insti-
tuted, if not more so. Then, as it has
not conformed to the hopes and wishes
of its originators, why, in the name of
common sense, will you still cleave to
it," "W" also says the Order is en-
phatically .1merican, which means,
suppose, that it is Republican. This |
deny, and intend, in future, to prove it
to be onh-repubiican. He concludes bis
doughty article with the tmportant m
formation that the Order intends, in fu-
ture, some day, to erect a mighty struc-
ture-some such affair as the Mormon
temple at Nauvoo, | reckon-and to
plant great tree of Temperance and
Benevolence, under which the drunkards
OF all nations and tongues, may lie down
and sleep off the fumes Of alcohol, ere
they go in to the great temple to hear
this modern st. Paul putting out one of
his windy harangues, to blow the ''Heav-
en-blest', flag of Love, Purity, and
Fidelity" over every land and sea.
After reading this windy inAiction of
Mr.. avs" we are torcibIy reminded Of
the following lines which Tom Moore
puts in the mouth of dame Nature.
"When composed the fustian brain
Ofthis rcloubted Captain Vain,
had on hand but few ingredients.
And so was forced to use eXpcdirnts
Iput therein some small discerning,
grain of sense. a grain of learning;
And when | saw the void behind,
tilld it up with--iioth and wind!'' l..

me where may stand, | will move the
