LETTER FROM EDWARD C. DELAVAM

Editor Of The Albany Morning EEPress;
GESTLEMEN notice the following in your paper
Of the 27th:
John Cough the well Known, devoted and efficient sdyo
cate Temperance stated 10 late speech In London hst out
persons who had signed the pledge In the United
States $50 600 had broken ID
| conclude Mr.. Cough must have referred to re-
formed drunkards II has been estimated that from
three to five hundred thousand of this most miserable
class have, during the progress Of the Temperance
Reformation signed the pledge, with the strong desire
of escaping from the destroyer. But the drinking
usages Of society and the licensed grogshops of the
nation, have been too much for them. These public
licensed grOg shops meeting them at every corner Of
the Streets and along all highways are ever open
night and day, and the keepers of them constantly
laying in wait to decoy them back to their old habits
and final ruin, how can they escaped
II is supposed there are 1000 900 Of individuals in
this nation now pledged or practicing on the great
and safe principle Of total abstinence. Not drunk
ard win ever be found in their ranks long they
continue faithful to their princpos regret the ne
cessiy of admitting that many, not only in the hum
bier but higher walks Of life, have broken their pledges,
thereby INJECTING deep wound on the cause they
have deserted.
conclude, no fact has a more powerful influence
on the public mind in bringing il up TO the consider
alton Of prohbiory law than the helpless condition
of the drunkard WthOut u. Yours very truly.

had been referred the ubect Of the state OF the differ
ent Missions.
They elected many remarks from distinguished
gentlemen present That in reference to the Choctaw
Mission called out a very lengthy debate upon the
subject Of Slavery, the Choctaws having forbidden
the education Of slaves, and also forbidden Abolition
lists to remain in the nation in any of the missions.
The committee recon mend the Board to refuse to
act in accordance with these laws. The debate was
very exciting and not concluded but the report
was recommitted for some amendments, with in
structions to report again this evening.
