Rssolred. That the citizens in the

quested to hold meetings in their neigh
borhoods, and make an expression Of
their Opinions upon the subject embrac-
ed in the above resolution and that 4
committee Of FIVE be appointed By the
chair TO press this subject upon public
attention.
The report was received, and On mo-
ton OF the Rev. Samuel Pesrce. the
question was put upon the adoption Of
the resolutions separately.
After a discussion of some length.
in which Messrs. Pearce. M'Mannen.
Heartt, VI. Harris. wilbon. ID. Parish,
]. b. Leathers. Dean. Guess, currie,
Burton. and others, participated. the
resolutions were unanimously adopted
The question discussed was. whether
the resolutions went far enough or not.
Some Of the speakers contended that a
resolution should be added pledging
the members OF the convention not TO
vote for any person who should treat
with ardent spirits in the canvass I;
while others csntended that the reso-
lutions reported BY the committee CO.
yered the whole ground. and were like
Ii to be more effective than if a pledge
OF the kind suggested were introduced.
Ii was also urged BY others, that a
pledge Of the kind at presen, would be
premature; and If the resolutions re-
ported were not effective. il would be
time enough, when this Was ascertain.
ed, TO take an advance position.
In compliance with the third reso>
luton. the chair appointed the follow
ing persons to compose the committee.
viz: Messrs. w. W. Guess. Thomas

and j. b. I.eathers.

Convention of the Friends Of Tempe
rance and Good Order.

In accordance with the public notice,
convention of the friends OF tempe
rance and good order met at the room
Of the Mountain Spring Division in this
place, on Tuesday the Esd Of August;
but finding the room too small for the
comfortable accommodation of the mem.
bers. they adjourned to the Methodist
Church.
On motion, all the friends Of the
movement present, not appointed a.
delegates, were requested 10 take seats
in the Convention.
The Rev. Thomas Lynch was called
to the chair, aud +. A. lleartt appuin-
ted secretary.
At the request Of the chair, the Rev.
A. Currie briefly stated the object Of
the convention, which was, first, to en-.
,leasor to get an expression Of public
opinian against the practice Of treating
by candidates. Some men, he said,
who were regarded as honest and up.
fright in their dealings, and who were
opposed, on principle, to the practice
of treating, seemed to consider II their
duty to their party and their friends,
when selected as candidates, to engage
lin the etces because public opinion
in their estimation required 1t. The
blame was thus thrown upon public
opinion, and it was therefore desired
that such an expression should be had
on the subject as will remove this ex-
cuse. In addition to this, some of the
delegates, he believed, desired that ac-
ton should be taken in order to bring
about some restrictive legislation to
prevent the sale Of ardent spirits as a
beverage; but whether it wouLlbsrad-
visable to act upon that>subiect at this
time. the conven.Sa.f0n would decide.
On motion, committee of thirteen
was APPOINTED to prepare and report
reS'Rutlons for the actiun Of the con-
,Tention. The committee appointed on
\ the nomination Of members, was as
follows: Messrs. ). r. Leathcrs, Il. +.

son, 6. tltley, w. w. Guess, +. G.
/ GRAY, IL. Arnold, WI. Duke, Thomas
| Wilson, Il. A. Heartt, the Rev. A. eur
RE, and the Rev. j. Dean.
After retiring for some time, the
committee, through their chairman, the
Rev. ] Dean, repnrted the following
preamble and resolutions:
Il Whereas, we believe the practice of
treating by candidates for public office,
is demuralizing in its effects upon the
community, and condemned both by
| the letter and spirit of our laws; and
whereas we believe it to be the duty of
all good citizens to endeavor to sup
press it by all prudent means there.

Resolred, That while, as citizens Of
the Republic, we feel deep interest
lin the political questions which agltate
the country, and shall consider it our
duty to aid in the success of those prin-
ciples which we believe will best pro.
mote the interests of the people, we
have too much respect for the intelli-
gence of the majority Of our fellow CT
tlzens to believe that, to secure the tri
umph. of correct principles, it is neces.
sarv to resort to means which tend to
demoralize the community; and We
therefore feel it incumbent on Us TO
