The Warrenton Demonstration,

We call attention to the grand demonstra-
ton advertised for Warrenton on the Both
instant. We hope they may have a delight
full time of it, and nothing but necessity for
bur attendance on the Grand Division at Sails
bury, at that time would prevent our being
there. As one, however, who has enjoyed
the Inequalities Of the good people of War
rcnton, we are justified in promising all who
may attend, good cheer and a hearty welcome.
An Intelligent Brother writing us concern
ing this proposed Celebration, says;
The time was fixed with special reference
to the Conference in Louisburg, the Session
of which will o fcw days after
wards. We shall thus probably secure the
services Of Messrs. Deems and Bryant, as well
az of DR.. Lee of the Christian Advocate, be-
sides others who can easily take Warrenton
IN their route to Louisburg. The period Of
this manifestation, too, Immediately precedes
the occurrence of the presidential election,
when the discussion Of our principles before
the people may have q tendency to mitigate
the evils which too often accompany an excl
ting political contest. The SorercignS will
at least be impressed with tho conviction
That a large and respectable class Of citizens
doom the question Of moral reform now in
progress throughout the States of this Con-
fcdcracy, as paramount to tho paltry issues
involvedin the present presidential struggle.
Indeed the momentous interests which are
stakcd upon the success or defeat of the pa
triots and philanthropists in this second Wdy
Of Independence, which has been declared
against the corrupt and corrupting powers
Of darkness, when brought into comparison
with the consequences to result from the olec
ton ofeither Scott or Pierce, to the presiden
cy; arc as I" Ossa to q Wart, or Hyperion t
n Satyr." There has never been such n part
organized since the days of the Revolution
"a tho one that has unfurled the flag ofmors
reform IN the present contest against thos
who would pollutc the very temple of fre,
dom with the orgies of Bacchus. Let OF
legislators but once place the question
Liquor Traffic or "no Liquor traffic" b
fore the people, to be decided by them ut Il
Ballot-box. in the sovereign exercise of Il
sacred right Of suffrage, and you will see Il
1,urcst, the most jealous, the most patriot
and the most able advocates that ever q
tpeared before any people on earth, rally
the rescue Of their country from a worse thI
British oppression, and British tyranny
Then the tocsin Of War will be sounded fro
every hilltop and valley in the old Nor
State " from the shore that is laved by t
Atlantic wave 10 the mountains that KISS [
skies" will be heard the long, loud continu
battle-cry +" DowN WITH THE Liquor IRA
nc" And this same war-cry will ney
cease to be shouted all along tho serried lin
Of the great Temperance army, until tho
quor Traffic in all its Protean shapes shall
put dozen, and the State disenthralled fr
the chains Of its slavery for
Freedom battle once begun,
Bcauenthod from bleeding sire to son,
Tho bafied Oft, is ever won"
And then what blessed results will flow
the people Of tho State-bsyond the power
language to depict. "Come, then express:
siIonce, muse their praise"
