Who will Follow Him?

The r. /. Temperance Advocate con-
cludes an article on Hon. T. A. Hanne-
gan's murder of brother-in-law in a
drunken brawl, as follows -
Now, young men, see what genteel
tippIing has done for Edward A. Hanne-
gan. Was he a weak-minded man
Has he, in public life, shown any want
OF frmness Will you call him fool,
and then dare follow in his footsteps! (!
You have friends around you-so had he.
You have taIents-he was brilliant. You
have pride-he stood in the halls OF
Congress, and in the halls Of Emperors
was honored at home, and bowed tc
abroad. You have selfrespect-he hac
so much that he killed brother who in
suited him. But neither talents, nor firm
ness, nor self.respect, nor pride, no
friends saved him; and all these will no
save you, if you defy Fate by tampering
with the wine cup. Dash it down, az
you would avoid the pangs that shoe
now, like winged serpents Of fire, through
poor Hannegan's heart

A Delightful Place.

| AcOTespondent ofthe Dayton Gazette,
writing from Harrison township, Mont.
gomery county, o., gives the following
account of the moral and christian feel
ing of the citizens composing said town
ship. How we should like to reside m
a land of such universal freedom, where
saint O and sinner lie down and walloE
together! Where the holy man Of Cod
the followers of the meek and lowly Jesus
who went about doing good, extend be
hand of fellowship TO the hardened reprt-
bate, the gambler and the iGw breake,
in perpetuating the work OF the Devi.
Queer religion this Oh, christianity
how thou art fallen i'll these latter days !!
Ia days gone by when we were an
urchin, in the wild woods of the " dark
and bloody ground" we have often seen
ministers Of the gospel ascend to the pull
pit, Of warm day, minus vest and
coat, with shirt sleeves rolled above the
elbows, and after preaching for an hour,
descend and partake Of "a gOodhorn OF fmost
excellent Bourbon O and smacking theiI
lips as an acknowledgement of its superior
qualities, ascend to the pulpit. again.
and put in their best and most eloquent
licks against the Devil and his angels
closing with description of the beauties
Of Heaven, that cannot be surpassed by
the eloquent and learned Divines of the
present day. Then it was the universal
custom to drink, and he who refused to
partake of glass when offered by a
friend, insuIted his friend and the Min
listers were none the less pious and zeal.
GUS christians for induIging in Intoxicating
liquors. But now that custom, and the
intelligence Of the people universally de-
nounce its use, as injurious to health and
happiness, and baneful to the best inter-
ests of society, who will pretend TO say
that that Minister or layman who advO-
Gates its use, is Bible Christian2 No
one, we opine, who has ever read three
chapters of the Bible. How those chris
tians of Harrison township can reconcile
such opinions and actions with the doc
trines as revealed by Revelations, is a
profound mytery to US,
Interest, no doubt, governs their con-
duct in and out Of the church, and not the
doctrines of revealed christianity.
We would advise our friend of the
still, up in jamestown, 10 remove at once
TO Harrison township, There his religion
can be appreciated, and there he can deal
out as much death and damnation as he
desires without any squirmings Of con-
science, and without any violation of the
rules and usuges Of the church, Here is
the extract:
"I would here take occasion TO say,
that the sentiment Of this part of Harrison
township, in opposition to the Maine Ii
quor Law, admits Of no division. Here
the CHRISTIAN, the DRUNKARD, the GAMBLER
and the LAw-BREAKER have arrayed them
selves against it."

dulge in his company, IN one Of tie COM
monsst occurrences at Washington. Laugh
ter. In a word, found the Senator
from New York Unexpectedly, at an un-
seasonable hour Of the night, 80 fxel as
to keep apart from the caucus, and yet to
direct and command its operations un-
seen, so far as he could do SO through the
instrumenlality of his friends snd, after
l was separated from it we took q drink.
Should he invite me, under equally en-
barrassing circumstances to himself and
his friends, l shoulddrink with him again.
Laughter"
The house seemed to relish these re-
searches into private history even more
than political discussions.
Mr.. Marshall's explanation, taking into
view his moral and political position, is
entirely satisfactory. He has done no
thing in the premises that ought to make
him obnoxious to his friends. Now for
Mr.. Stewards case. His influence is much
more efficient than that of his compota
tor [Itis a great pity that we have no
familiar English word sufficiently digni-
fed 10 denote the parisBuodns synpegia
fof an honorable Senator and distin-
guished member of the House. Pot
companion is both obsolete and vulgar, ]
The friends of the ex-governor, in his
own State, are neither few nor insignif-
cant, and they are, almost to a man, the
unwavering friends of the Maine Law
movement. While they have been fight
ing desperate battle at Albany, and have
met defeat without disgrace, it appears
that their political leader has been ex-
hibiting the same complaisance toward
their enemy, which his opponent has ex.
ercised toward him.
We have entertained high respect for
MIR. Seward. He has lived down that
ridiculous afectation of contempt which
was once attempted against him. We
hope some explanation of his apparent
inconsistency will be made, although we
must confess that our ingenuity is at
a loss to suggest the possible nature of
such explanation. Y.
