oSPo' - OOC
Bro. german Our citizens had the pleas
ure on Thursday last of listening to one of
Bro. Doub's addresses, for the first time, and ]
need not say that they were highly pleased
with him. His address was just such an
one as we needed, a real GrgumeptdttUe speech,
free from all those anecdotes and slang phra-
ses which disgrace so many public speakers
Of the present age. He dwelt some time on the
reasons why the Temperance cause seems at
present to be in a lauguishing state and not
fourishing as it ought ; he asserted as the
prime cause for this sad condition of thin gs
was that men in their efforts to put a stop
to Intemperance, struck at the effects of Ii
quor more than at the causes which produce
those effects" He fully proved that the
chief cause of intemperance in our country,
at present, was that men who are candidates
for Off sc, eithertreat the people to liquor and
thus swindle them out of their votes. or else
have :" strikers" as they are called) to do
it for them and by this means accomplish
their "diabolical' purposes, (f | may be
allowed to use so strong an expression. -
But to the shame of our town be it spoken,
and especially to the shame of those who
were engaged in it, when Bro. D0ub was
about half done, a crowd of youngsters who
were either. convinced Of the truth of his re-
marks or else afraid they would be, got up,
went out and commenced making some hid
eous sounds, and all kinds of noises, for the
purpose of interrupting Bro. Doub, and sue
ceedel so we'll, that Bro. Doub, appealed to
the sheriff who happened to be in, to protect
him from the annoyance of such "scamps.'
The Sheriff went down and ordered then
away from the Court House, when they ad
iourned to one Of those licenced Liquor Hous

munities where they live. Strong efforts,
however. will doubtless be made To change
the views of such, but be assured they will not
Succeed. Men who have been watching the
Temperance movements for years. and have
carefully examined the results, are giving in
their adhesion to our principles; and although
they may never become Sons themselves, yet
they will aid to further on the good cause
Hundreds and thousands in our State, have,
within the last twelve months, changed their
views upon this subject. and are now stronger
advocates for these measures, than they were
opponents heretofore,
Total prohibition is the doctrine that will
become universally popular in a short time
1t is now conceded that if anything at all is
done it must be this, as nothing short of il
will remove from among US the evils of intern.
perance. Indeed, as the manufacture, sale,
and furnishing OF intoxicating liquors by fam
lies of high standing in society, and treating
by candidates for office combined, constitute
the grand cause of drunkenness; total pro.
hibition alone can reach this so as to remove
the effects flowing therefrom.
Please state that from and after the 20tE
of this month my address will be Raleigh.
Yours, in l.. P. & F,

Ho! For the State Fair,


JOSHUA BoNER, Esq, of Salem, informs
us that he has a superior article of Honey.
and an excellent, prolific quality of Wheat,
which he designs placing on exhibition at our
State Fair in October next. The Honey and
Comb, he writes us, are both white as snow,
known in Western Carolina as " Sour-wood
Honey" the flavor Of which is most deli
cious. 1t is much sought after in chat sec
ton, and is made from the Sour-woodblossom
Mr.. B. writes: "I have also AZ bushels
Of a very large grained Wheat, some heads
of which yielded as high as lao grains of
Wheat. | commenced with the product of
ono head, and this, the third year, reaped Al
bushels to the quarter Of an acre., on poor soil
and very thinly sown. Ihave besides, two as
fine specimens Of the Shanghai Chickens, as
you will see in the State and half-breeds too.
One young Rooster, not quite four months
old, is larger than q full-grown hen indeed
as tall now as my old Shanghai Rooster"
We hope our enterprising friend will be
sure and have the fine specimens on exhibi'
ton and that our citizens generally Will
bestir themselves to bring forward articles
that will make our first Fair not only cred.
liable TO the first effort to arouse Enterprise
and excite Industry in the State, but really
equal to many States who have for years
been engaged in the same laudable work
Indeed, from what we can learn, it will bt
more than the most sanguine friends of thu
movement have ever contemplated. Let nom

room or accommodations. Ample md abun

he was called to that Division above, where art

Moral Suasion.

To contend that all the drunkards in the
land can be persuaded to become sober men,
and that the traffic with all its horrors can be
successfully abolished by moral ]Suasion, is
the perfection of folly. If such were posi-.
bic, why not at one fell Legislative swoop
rescind all lar, and thus govern all the bad
passions Of men, and put an end to cheating,
theft, fraud, murder and every other moral
monstrosity by the powerful engine of Moral
Suasion? We have talked and resolved on
this subject until the world grows weary Of
its stereotyped sameness, and now Humanity,
from the wreck Of her mangled prostratlon,
cries out for aotion-deathless, unAinohing
ACTION! The people must and will take
this momOntous question in their own hands,
and carry it with all the pomp of american
Majesty to the ballot-box, in defiance of the
growb of heart-sick d~emagogues witnessing
the speedy demolition of their god and profit
The people must teach their Legislators o les,
son on the prohibition question-an emphatic
lesson that cannot be misconstrued, Let
them thunder their commands in the ears OF
their servants, in advance of their entrance
intothO Legislative Halls-lett be warned
that the people in their majestic sovereignty
require at their hands legislative action tC
the utter destruction and humiliation Of
this monster curse within our borders-let
them make such a convincing demonstrate
by solemn Conventions, and otherwise, t.

alone can make when determined upon vic
