We notice by an advertisement in The Tribune that
there is to be a grand Temperance meeting this
evening at Metropolitan Hail. when Hon. Horace
Mann, of Massachusetts,, and Rev. John Chambers,
Of Philadelphia, will speak, and the Alleghanians
will sing. While either of the other features are
worthy of the attention of the public in the highest

who Go not go now will most assuredly regret it
hereafter.
