After music and prayer, P. G. W.P. Philip S.
White, of Pennsylvania addressed the assembled

seen in the Richmond Dispatch, that morning, an
article, evidently from the pen of his estmable
friend Mr.. Peasants stating that that day was the
birthday of George the Sd, whose acts of oppres.
sion led the American colonies to revolt and to
| pledge themselves by declaration of indepen
dence to overthrow his tyrannical power They,
the Sons, had in like manner revolted against the
grievous tyranny of King Alcohol, and under the
pledge of total abstinence engage in battling
against his power and seeking his overthrow. Mr.
W. then proceeded in very eloquent strains to speak
of the injurious effects of the use of intoxicating
liquors, first upon ourselves and secondly upon
others. His remarks were greeted with rapturous
applause.
P. g. W.P. Samuel s. Cary, of Ohio next ad.
dressed the meeting. He commenced by having
down the postuate that the history OF the manu-,
facture, and traffic of Intoxicating liquors was
| a history of blood frp.p the of No a.
present time-and argued at length in favor of the
necessity and propriety of total abstinence Wi tn
the benediction the proceedings closed at the
Church. In the midst of heavy shower of rain,
between 2 and o'clock, the several Divisions re.
paired to Towards Grove, in the suburbs of the
city, where plenteous repast, prepared by 'mne
host" Jack Taylor, of the City Hotel, awaited them
The rain abated during the eating season. but soon
recommended, compelling the divisions to return
home as soon as possible, thus excluding entirely
the speeches which would have been made had the
weather been propitious. Notwithstanding the OBJ
position of wind and rain think the DISPLAY was
very excellent one.
