~Acoording 10 previous arrangements
the Rev. Dir. Andrews, Of shepherdstowr.,
addressed oar citizens on Tuesday night last.
upon the subject Of Temperance.
II is impossible for Us to give any thing
Ike an abstract even, Of tie speech The
gentleman had the undivided attention Of his
auditory for upwards Of an hour
We confess we never listened to any speech
upon Temperance which came nearer our
ideas Of what Temperance speech should be-
lie urged upon bis hearers the awful danger
Of trying to separate Temperance from Reli-
gion. He showed that the first temperance
organization in our country was brought about
by men most deeply imbued with a religious
spirit The American Temperance Society
was the first organization.
After a while, interest 10 the matter dying
The Washingtonian Societies" sprung up,
who believed Temperance and Religion bad
nothing to do with each ether They are
now scattered to The winds. In course Of
time the Sons Of Temperance were organ
lied. Highly did he speak of them except
in two particulars, viz: Being secret soeie-
ty and excluding ladies Surely the Rev.
Lecturer must have forgotten if they admit
ted ladies, it would not be secret society
long Nevertheless we think too, aud we
suggest it to the Sons" open your doors to
women You cannot do without them.
There was one idea in the lecture which
all moderate drinkers would do well to re-
member that Drunkenness, so far as it is
sin, is not a question of degrees All ex-
citemcpt oceasioned by liquor is sinful. 1t
was thus proved that the least excitement
Of this kind prevented religious feelings
Which seems trre beyond doubt. II so,
any such excitement is sinful and to be class
ed with drunkenness. The wine question was
discussed the Lecturer placing it on the
same ground as ether alchoholc drinks--be-
cause now we had no pure wines, all bciag
mixed with alchphol
He urged oil to join some Temperance So
ciety but at tue same time to look to God
for strength to continue sober
We hope our shcpbcrdstown friends will
prevail upon their townsman to publish his
discourse, Which does such credit to the lee
turer and to the whole town from which lie
comes. c. l..

SIGNS FOL, 1850.

Tie people of this country have never re-
elected a Wing President.
They have never elected two Wing admin.
istrationsiu succession. = WaShirg.oa Union
The above are given as bad omens Cor the
Wings in the coming Presidential election,
but it must be rccolIected that all signs fail
in bad heather 1t is well known that the
misnamed democracy Of this country, during
the present administration, have been suffer
ing from very remarkable drought. The
wheels OF Government have been moving on
with such admirable regularity under the
management of AHllard Fillmore and his
Cabinet, that even the Union has failed to
find sufficient material from which to raise an
electioneering storm. The skies have be-
come as brass, to the opposition; they can
not see cloud, even as large as "a mans
hand to cheer their despondiag hearts. Dry
times indeed, and their signs will surely fail.

been some time eognizant, that Gen. Scott,
when in the city of Mexico, after its capture,
was offered by several of the wealthiest citi-
zens Of the Mexican Republic to be made
President of that country; and, as an induce
ment to the offer they bound themselves to
settle upon him the sum OF one million ofdol-
ors. 1.-The splendid offer says the Delta,
was declined by the General, with scarcely
a moments consideration The brave old
soldier could not be tempted by such induce
mcnts to abandon the flag under which he
had achieved so much renown aud honor"

~ When the present Tariff was passed,

hostile to a change Of the well-working tariff
