cannot be considered very culpable |
for his unrestrained indulgence in the
qualification of those desires and pas
sions. Where is there any hope for
such a creature I Is it in moral sua-
sion? No, that is totally Intellectual.
Is it then by removing the tsmptsr
from him ? Some would say that a
law to do this would be tyrannical
and unjust, and would destroy his free
agency. But if this be not found a
perfect remedy, the recording angel,
as he writes its failure down, will drop
tear of pity and blot the last hope
of the inebriate forever from exis-
tence. What, talk of the free agency
Of him who is like the brute? His
mind lives under the most rigid ty-
ranny possible it is the tyranny OF
the passions. And which is better,
that he should continue on in this
most pitiable slavery, which will as
surely damn him as there is a judg-
ment to come, or subject him to the
so-Called tyranny Of statutory law
which will restore to their proper func-
tions the unbalanced faculties of his
nature, and place him in predica-
ment that he may again exercise his
free agency? We mistrust the latter
would be far the wiser plan, and very
much more in accordance with divine
4 law. B.

Meeting Of the Temperance Exc
cutive Committee.


The business transacted by the Ex-
ecutve Committee of the Temper
ance Association, Tuesday, was not
of great importance, but just at this
juncture possesses considerable inter-
est. Many letters were read from
Maine Law men in all parts of the
county, who told how the warfare
was progressing; and it was discOv'
cred that there would be no difficulty
in getting plenty of good men to stand
nomination by the coming COnven-
ton. The most important feature
of business discussed was, whether a
full Democratic ticket or a mixed
ticket shonld be nominated, and it
was finally decided to give the Con-
vention no recommendations on that
point. That will be the most promi'
nent question before the Convention
It is the determination Of thu
leaders of the Temperance movemen
to put it in such a shape before tn
people, that it cannot with any con
sistency be denounced as a "Whi
trick"
The Committee adjourned, to NEE
on the last Monday of September.

Wretched Scenes.

We have not, for some time, passed
along any of the principal roads lead
Ing into this city, without having our
feelings shocked at sights Of wretch
edness that are painful to contemplate.
And we do not refer to cases OF rag
ged poverty or starvation No. these
are blessings in comparison to intem-
perance. We have not unfrequently
observed men who had become too
drunk to navigate, lying along in the
corners of the fence, and in cutters,
so absolutely filthy and loathsome,
that even the hogs would not pass
near them. He that has not enough
of humanity in his heart to drop a
tear over his unfortunate fellow-man,
| thus situated, must indeed be frozen
dead to all sense Of feeling. There
lies the poor, miserable, driveling,
drunken sot, a rum saturated carcass,
unconscious as a dormant alligator in
mid-winter, of everything around. Is
/ he to be blamed for his brutality
/ He NAV have been to blame for cul,
tivating an appetite for ardent spirits
but now, when he has lost all contro
Of his passions, and is a complete
slave to .beastly desires, he certainly

A Word to the Young Ladies.

We do not desire you to consider
us intrusive or meddleSOme, young
ladies, in directing a few words OF ad'
vice to you. Being on the young
mans list ourself, we naturally take
quite an interest in your welfare and
happiness and having felt "slightly"
the sweet magic Of female influence
we are fully aware Of the OmnlPo'en'
power you hold over young socle'y'
You are the queens, ordained by ma
ture to reign in the kingdom OF you'n'
and young men are completely your
vassals. To whatever you give coun'
tenance or discountenance, the young
man, without he be heartlesS' un-
feeling wretch, will yield in conform
ity. Then will you not exercise this
heaven.gifted power which you pos,
sess, in favor of a prOhibitOry law !
Will you not plead with that tipping
| youth to give his support to the only
/ law that will save him from a drunk
ards grave9 And will you not with
draw your society, and your atfec-
tons, from any young man who re-
fuses to comply with your reasonable
and noble demands You are aware
that this is the only safeguard against
all the broils and sorrows of domestic
| life, Occasioned by intoxicating drinks
The young man may VOW to you most
faithfully and honestly, that he will
forever eschew the use Of all intoxi-
eating beverages, but when you have
given yourself up to him, and he finds
| himself secure in the possession OF his
treasure, he may neglect his early
VOWS, and return to that cup which
will embitter all the days of your aitel
life. But prOhibitOry law complete

Virginia.

The friends of the cause in this
State have commenced moving for the
Maine Law. A Convention is to as
semble in Wheeling on the 18th, and
to close on the 18th, to devise the
ways and means to secure Prohibi-
torv Law. Go ahead, friends, and
may success speedily crown your no.
bic efforts.

EF The written pledge of Geo. H.
Pendleton, a candidate for State Sen
ate, was given, that he was totally
opposed to the Maine Law in letter
and spirit.
Jonah Martin sent a note offering
himself as candidate for the Senate,
was opposed to the Maine Law, and
in favor of license, favored Huckster-
ing, and opposed to SpoOner's Court.
The following Democratic candidates
for the Legislature, appeared and de-
Clared against the Maine Law. Jo-
seph E. Egly, Francis Jobson. James
B. Hannas and Thos. w. Alexander
James Peat and DR.. McGrew were
vouched for as opponents Of the Maine
Law. @. Stephenson, Democratic
candidate for Commissioner, sent in
his communication condemning pro-
hibitory Liquor Law. Two Irishmen
attempted to speak, but were under
the influence of liquor and were hus'
tied off the stand. Strong Anti.
Maine Law resolutions were intro
duced by Henry ROedter, when the
mass meeting adjourned Cincinnati

be rather too progressive to send from

Look out for Stratagem.


1t begins to be generally known
throughout the State, that the Tenn
perance party has grown to an enor-
nous magnitude, and can no longer
be trihed with as of no account. Po-
litical parties are at last driven, by
the force of public sentiment, to shape
their policy in some relation to the
Temperance reform. Many, of courses
from all parties, have focked to the
standard of Temperance, and numbers
have appeared in the field against
that cause. And we may naturally
suppose, as is actually the case, that
this latter party will use all kinds of
dangerous and deadly weapons in the
conflict. Judging from the cause they
are attempting to defend, we cannot
reasonably expect anything very man
ly and honorable from them as a
party. We remember when the gam
bling law was about to be passed BY
Il our Legislature. The members of the
black-leg fraternity (albeit not as nu-
merous, yet fully as respectable as
the Anti Temperance party) were
buzzing around on every side in terri
BILE agitation. 1t was a shock that
they keenly felt, and they crawled
out from the slime and corruption Of
their devil dens, and lowered in black
swarms over the political atmosphere
of our State, attempting to corrupt it
into their favor. There is no doubt
but that the cursed schemes which
they attempted to work, in conni-
vance with leading political dema-
gogues, had they prevailed, would
r have defeated that law, and our State
would now have been infested with
ten times as many Of these reckless
, Il villains as it is. The same heartless
, and shameful stratagems will again be
2 attempted upon the credulity of the
people, in opposition to the temper
: ance reform. They have already
