Us against the giant evil, Intemperance.-

Mr.. GonMAN: Old Sury is UP and COM
ing. Slowly but surely is the Temperance
reform gaining ground the S~till-houses and
doggeries are becoming more and more vaca-
ted, and it's to be hoped that all the world
and the balance Of mankind will soon for
sake the monster Alcohol and march under
the stars and stripes of the Temperance ar
my, where liquor is a stranger and drunkards
never ONE
The drunkard, in this county, at this time,
IS not looked upon with the least degree of
allowance. Indeed it is generally admitted
that they are a class Of people that could
DC very easily spared, as will appear from the
following matter-of-fact incident which trans
pred not long since {: There is an old gen-
tleman in this county whose name we will
call BarLow-he has quite a number of sons,
among whom is a drunkard, about II years
OF age. On a certain day, instead of going
to the new ground to clearing with his broth
ers, he stepped off to some doggery and
got particularly 'how-come-you-so,' and in
this state proceeded to the clearing where
his brothers were at work. His head how
ever soon became too heavy and he lay
down and went to sleep. His brothers kept
at work close by when a tree fell directly
upon him. Some of his elder brothers baw-
led out-HOh, he's killed he's killedv A
little fellow. about II years of age, come
running up the hill, exclaiming at the top Of
his voice-'If he's dead, I'll have his maryiis:
by George, I'll have his marvils.' The tree
fortunately, was a forked one and just CLAN
ced him on each side, and the little tello"
consequently didn't get the 'marVils.'
The drunkard from that forward, was de
termined not to give him another chance 70
his 'maryils.' for he has since became a tenn
/ ~perance man and enjoys the joke.
We need a few more of your Spirits /
l this county, that we may be the better pre-
pared to push along keep moving. L sen(
. for 5 copies more.

Generosity, is universally acknowledged one
of the prominent features of the American char
acter. am not a native of America, there
fore | cannot be accused of egotlsm and my
testimony may we'll be taken as IMPARTIAL
But a few years ago, the cry of starvation arose
on the other side Of the Atlantic, and was wat
ted to the shores Of benevolent America, when,
with all that generosity characteristic OF the
American people, it was responded to and al
though at war at the time, yet the American
Government, ever mindful Of the claims OF hui
manity, freighted one of its war ships with
provisions to feed the hungry; and thus was
she sent on her mission of mercy. For this
one act Of benevolence may heaven pour lis
choicest blessings on America. May her ggo-
rious institutions be perpetuated to the latest
posterity. May the stripes and stars ever wave
triumphantly DER the land of the free and the
home of the brave. Love of civil and religious
liberty is equally a prominent CHARACTERISTIC In
the American people. Nor DO they wish to
enjoy alone, the inestimable blessings springing
from it. The fundest wish of the American
heart is. that the whole human family should
:, ne disenthralled from that bondage in which it
- has been kept for centuIies-should burst the
v chains with which despotism has forged and
|. bound it.
With such noble traits of character, is 1t moi
!, strange, that the American people should look
!, with so much indifference upon the desolatlon
destitution and crime, which their own country
men are sunk in Is it not strange they dc
not stretch forth a hand to succor and TO save
N to remove the cause of so much affection |
- a foe in human form was to present himself
a. how quickly would the American people forge
ri their political distinctions, and, as one man
exterminate that foe, who dared to desecrate tn
=, soil of their beloved native land. There IS
II foe planted in the midst Of the American pc,
IN ple. as ~insidious, as unrelenting and as tyranic;
no as ever trampIed upon the liberty or happines
I'M of any people. Yet he is couTted and caresse
in by the high and by the low, by the learned an
10 by the ignorant, by the rich and by The poor

is Of the crime and desolation which marks Il
om march Of this giant monster, and Imagine,

and the Almighty! Alas, tina; man should
so blinded by perversity as not to see that moi

All this is strange but IS 1t not strang
