The temperance Effort, and Our
Duty in Relation TO It.

1t has seemed, for some time past.
US though the friends of Temperance
we're relaxing their efforts, and doing
bu, little towards the final consummu-
ton ofthcir work. The Washing
toniuns' appear 10 be disbanded-
US they seldom, If ever, hold public
mcesings--aud the Sons" do not
occupy as large space, at least be-
fore the public eye, as formerly
Doubtless tho excitement always at
tepding q ne,e Miny has died away,
and the mere seekers after sacelty, Ia
class 10y 10 means small in every com
muniry), have left their ranks; and
the mo,l now dcvolves upon those
who possess moral energy to hold GU
in q cause to which they have delibe.
raiely and soemnly pledged them
selves, and moral courage to pursue
that work, in the face Of opposition
and Encouragement, for the sake OF
the public welfare. But j, is u mis-
take to suppose that the cause is dy-
ing out, because it is not attended with
as much ec1at as formerly. In several
States the salutary provisions OF the
MAINE Liquor Law" have been en-
acted aud wherever fairly tested, are
working admirably. Even in the
Stale Of Indiana, where an immense
amour, Of capital has been employed
in the manufacture Of whiskey, the
prohihi,ory law has been alop,ed,and
will no doubt be enforced. Ponnsyl.
vania is still aeita'ing the question,
and notwithstanding the peculiar pre-.
iudices US well as appetites Of her vast
German population, and the proven
bal righteousness Of wirc-working poll
iticians in her Legislative Falls, there
is an amount Of intelligence and per-
severance in the better class of the
population, that will be satisfied with
nothing slor, of prehibi,ory law; and
few years will secure it.
And what are we doing here in the
"Old Dominion!" A pro,racted d"u.
bic session efthe Legislature has just
closed, and nothing has been done for
Temperance. Is the cause therefore
abandoned2 We trust not-we know
it is no, given up in despair Numer-
