C. WALLER, 2. S.

At a meeting of Nashville Division, No. 293, S.
of T., held in their Division room, on Saturday the
Sd Of June, 1854, the following resolutions were a
dopted:
i. Resolved, That we believe the intemperateuse
Of s~pirituous liquors, to be the greatest evil that
now rest on the American people, and we believe
the entire traffic in ardent spirits to be morally and
religiously wrong.
2. Thatth time has arrived in our State history,
which calls for decisive action in taking steps to
procure relief from the evils of intemperance in all
its phases. We the members of this Division, do
hereby declare it is our opinion that our State Leg
~islature should pass some wise and prudent enact
ment for the removal Of the sore evils under which
we groan, socially, morally and politically, arising
from the pernicious liquor traffic.
3. That Bro. John Braswell of this Division, be
appointed to respectfully interrogate the candidates
in this county, as to their position on the reforma-
tory measures embraced in the above resolutions,
and request them not to treat with ardent spirits
during the present campaign.
4. That moral suasion, the means heretofore used
to release the people of North Carolina from the
evils of intemperanee, is not the proper means tt
effect that object.
5. That we believe the wants Of the people o.
North Carolina require a law prohibiting the trafi,
in spurious liquors, and that we will petition on
next Legislature to pass such a law.
6. That the above resolutions be published IL
tho Spirit of Age, with the request that the Stan
dard copy the same. w. ]. B. HARPER, r. s

s- In a country enlightened by educa-
ton, morality and religion, if these won'tin-
fuence men to temperance, no law, however
stringent will" So says Mr.. Rand, candi-
date for the Commons in Wake COUNTY,
Down, then, with all past legislation for the
suppression of evil practices. Let the gam
bier put up his apparatus, the pedIer his OBJ
scene publications on the corners ofthe streets,
license Righteousness, theft and every other
crime-since they still exist, notwithstand-
ing the education, morality and religion
with which the country IS enlightened. Is
Mr.. Rand prepared to advocate the doctrine
to leave the moral sense of community to re-
lieve these evils? He may, with as much,
yea, more propriety, for the law does not IL
cense and protect them as to contend that
the liquor traffic should remain undisturbed.
It won't do, Major.

B~lack-hearted Infamv.

We learn that on the 9Th of April last, a
man by the name of Faust, from Guilford
county, encamped with his whiskey wagon
at Hawfeld Church, in Alamance county,
within go yards of the Division Room of the
Sons of Temper nee, and during the night
the Hall was burnt down! No one is able
to say how the building was fred, but Faust
says. late at night he was awakened by the
light, and arose and found the house In flames.
He says some negroes had been to his wagon
to get liquor, but having no money be did
not give it them, exec to |: hind Jim," a
blind free negro. 1t is not alleged that Faust
set fire to the building or knew any thing of
it, but it was certainly the work of an incen-
diary, of some evil-minded opponent to the
temperance cause It'll hoped the scoandrel
may be ferreted out and the just merit of SO
dastardly a deed be awarded him. The en-
tire furniture and property of the Division
was destroyed.

Slaves and the LIQUOR Traffic.

By the sale of intoxicating drinks, our
population is corrupted and injured to
extent which alone should be sufficient to
arouse US. The giving and selling of liquor
to slaves, has ever been deemed a serious
and has been repeatedly Denounced
by laws, with penalties attached. And.so
much is slave property deprecated by the
habit Of drinking, that our whole slave. hold
ing community is awake upon this point, and
anxious that some stringent steps be taken
to protect its interests in this respect. The
selling of liquors to slaves is a great evil, and
increased vigilance should be used to bring
the vendors to Justice This is the language
Of public sentiment, and Of acts Of legislation
but still the evil grows and increases, cry
ing louder and louder for reform. But
while liquor is allowed to be sold, so long
will slaves procure it, as we'll as the whites.
To prevent the ruin Of our slaves, the sale of
the poisonous compound most not be tolera-
ted-for it is next to impossible to convict a
liquor seller Of trading with slaves, under
the system of regulating the liquor traffic,
There is no class of community that is not
interested in this view of the case, whether
he be a Shareholder or not. Society is en-
dangered when the negro population are al
lowed to have access to the maddenine
draught, arousing and infaming ali the evi
passions of a corrupt and ignorant mind
People of North Carolina, think well OF
these things, and act in reference to you
own safety, and the safety of your children
who shall come after you.

The Memorials.

Don't neglect these important documents,
friends of Reform. Be sure and make a
strenuous effort to get the names of a MAORI
ty Of the Voters in each county assigned
thereto. In many counties the candidates
have pledged, or will pledge themselves to be
governed by this expression of the will of
their constituents. (See proceedings of the
Chatham meeting in another column.) Let
it be shown through our Memorials that a
decided majority of the good people Of the
State desire the removal of the evil from the
land. Circulate the Memorial, then, vigor-
ously and actively and we have no doubt
from fifty to seventy thousand voters names
can be procured in favor of this great reform.

Unreasonableness

1t is a notorious fact, that many of the
friends of whiskey have positively and firmly
determined to vote for no one who is a tenn
perance man, and come have gone so far as to
say they will not vote for a candidate who
refuses to treat. They are opposed to mix
ing temperance with elections, though by
which they mean, they object to temperance
men taking the same stand with regard to
candidates who refuse to support the reform.
And then politicians expect sober, indepen-
dent men to go blindly into the support of
candidates brought out under such infuen-
cesl How unreasonable and unjust. The
friends of law and good order, who desire to
see this great bane of society removed, can
not and will not thus prostitute the high and
noble elective franchise.
