Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1853-08-24

country must be given up to the reign of al
cohol drunkenness, with all its attendant
evils must reign triumphantly, whilst not
even the ballOt-box is safe from pollution and
outrage. All this must be suffered, to en-
able a few to live by the degradation of their
fellow creatures for the particular benefit
of this few, must the whole State be cursed !;
all this mountain of evil must be endured,
to enable perhaps the ~demagogue Whose
most potent agent is the whiskey bottle to
obtain office, knokxing full we'll his only
chance of election is to keep the dear peo-
pie drunk, and consequently blind, to his
hideous deformity of mind and morals, and
his complete incapacity to fill with propriety
the Office to which his vanity may aspire
We most sincerely hope the time is not far
distant when alcohol will no longer reign
predominant; when American citizens will
no longer disgrace themselves by sacrificing
their dearest blessings on the altar of BAG
chus, by selling that dearly bought privilege,
the elective franchise, for a glass Of whis-
key by suffering themselves made the tools
in advancing the personal interest of some
bloated political aspirant. But, on the con-
trary, thatthey mayremember with gratitude
and thanksgiving to Almighty God, that
struggle by which those political blessings
were obtained, blessings which they ought to
watch over with a jealous eye and cherish
with the hearts best affection.
The people of North Carolina may, if they
choose, alter the constitution Of the State,
may repeal any law on the statute book, all.
every one, except one, and the sacred privil-
eyes granted by this one must not be invaded
because it would be mixing Temperance with
politics! No, the right which the liquor Ii
eense law grants to all who pay ten dollars
to make ~drunkards, perhaps, criminals, wild
ows and orphans, must NOT be violated
You must not mix your Temperance with
politics, says the Rum seller, a useless crea
ture, who fattens upon the degradation of his
fellow creatures. How much longer vii
our people remain blind to their interest II
this matter how much longer will they al
low this nefarious traffic to exist in theil
midst, the legitimate fruits of which are pow
erty, crime, disease and death Not much
longer, we confidently hope. The Spirit Q
the Age is tending to the complete overthrow
of this accused traffic; and when this grea
object is achieved, a greater amount of goo,
will result to the people than from any meas
ure ever proposed by either of the politica
parties. If we want internal improvements
let us but save the money now squanderet
for alcohol, and we can have any description
we please throughout the State. Schoo
houses can be erected at every Cross Roads
and competent teachers can also be secured
if the money is rescued from the vertex 0
dissipation in which it is now spent. N
longer will complaint of taxation be heard
the blessings Of a bountiful Providence will
no longer be perverted nc longer will tn
staff of life be converted into a poisson, Blu
peace, plenty and happiness will extend fror
beloved State.

represent them, and reject those who are
we'll qualified to fill any Office within their
gift.
The liquor dealer vends his poison under
the immediate sanction of the Lac, which
to him is q citadel from behind whose walls
he can look out and mock in derision any at
tempt to invade has right I'd Is it right that
they should be thus protected, aided and
abetted, as it were, by the law Of the land,
to distribute among their fellow men a poison
more communicating In its influence and de-
structivc in its effects, than the deadly Upas
or blighting Sirocco? 1t is no wonder, thus
protected, that they should look with con-
tempt on any attempts to remove this evil
by moral s%uasion. We know that we have
some legislators who would aid in extermin-
ating this evil, were it not for fear of inju-
ring their popularity; and we fear that some
A" Sons" fail to do their duty, for the same
reason. Should there be any such, we be-
seech them by their love for our sex, by the
sacred pledge that they have taken upon
themselves, and by the duty they owe to
their country and their God, tostand up fear
lessly in defence of their principles, indepen-
dent and regardless of the powers of popu-
lar opinion. How long, oh! how long will
the people quietly sleep and suffer this yam
pire curse to suck their life's blood away?

Harrison's Creek Division, in Cumberland
County, celebrated their third Anniversary,
on Saturday, the 18th. We had quite a fine
day and also n general turnout. There were
visiting brethren from several Divisions Of
this and the adjoining counties, and a goodly
number Of the fair sex. Appropriate Adj
dresses were delivered nv Messrs. Arey and
Cain. Of Fayetteville, followed by a few re-
marks by Rev. James Mcdaniel. The Fay
e%tteville Band favored us with their presence,
and cheered VA with their Music.
Our cause Is gaining ground in this vicin-
ity. Our Division is increasing in number
and those who are not disposed to join us,
seem 10 have laid down their weapons and
ceased TO fight as. We now have our new
Room almost completed, and shall be able
in future to make greater progress than we
have heretofore. And may the time soon
come when every mans motto shall be Love,
Purity and Fidelity.

Mr.. EDITOR Permit n woman through
your columns, to speak Il few words to your
numerous readers in regard to the disgrace
ful action Of our last Legislature on the tenn
peranee Memorial. Although there were
men there who could rise and make "big
speeches" constantly harping upon the great
liberties SO hardly won by their " forefath.
ers," yet when the good people come to er.
ercise their rights to these glorious liberties
they are ut once branded with " fdadticS."-
Glorious liberties, indeedl How long shall
we be forced to witness the terrible havoc.
on all sides of us, caused by the fell destroy.
or, Iutcmperance? How long shall we have
90 suffer this arch demon of hell to steal in.
to our homes, and poison our peace, hurl our
fathers, husbands, brothers and sons down
10 the abodes OF eternal ruin and misery
causing more pain aud sorrow and anguish
of heart and mind, than will ever be told be.
fore the great day when the secrets Of all
hearts shall be made known. How long will
the people continue to elect men to ~legislate
for them, who spurn their cries for redress
Of grievances; men who regard the suffer
ings caused by incompetence unworthy 0
their notice.
| have read somewhere, that the Parlia
ment Of England once took into considera
ton the ssiterings Of their beasts, aud tina
their lords saw proper to advocate this meas
ure; but here, although the country is bleed
lug at every pore, from sufferings caused b
iutemperance and its thousand attendar
evils, Our wise legislators see proper to tur
ad3af car to our cries for help! Have w
not some noble hearted Burke or Erskine
plead our cause? Have we no moral Kossut

4. LIBERTY from tho CALLING chains of a mo
despotic tyrant than ever welded a sword,
swayed Il sceptre? We know that there a,
many such in North Carolina, but we knc
also, that such men seldom get into our lie

wherefore" it is so, we arc unable to tell.
This much we do know, that the people Fl

preamble aud resolutions were unanimously adopt
