B6y~ Our heart is full. We feel like rejoi-
cling and giving thanks. The "better day"
that we have so long been writing and speak
ing about begins to show a certain dawning.
The glorious Reform cannot be sneered at
now as it was when a feeble stripping. 1t
has grown to be a giant in strength, and its
march is from State to State with a majestic
tread. Demagogues, who anchor their hopes
in the swill of the bar-rOom, cannot arrest It's
progress. Right on, with God to defend the
Right, it sweeps with the grandeur of a re-
s%istless stream, over party craft and political
corruption, to a sure and final triumph.
The strife has become more earnest. Rum
and Humanity have met eye to eye. The
contest has been moved from the pulpit to
the ballot-from the press to the polls. Free
men are beginning to legislate for their homes
and their hearths-at the ballot box. The
great tide of humanity throbs with a %livelier
pulse at that legislation. The eye kindles
and the heart throbs as the blest beacon RI
ses higher and higher, and grows brighter
and brighter over the restless sea of human
events. Angels be with those who battle
Alright, and God prosper the host whose spear
rings against the letters riveted upon human
ity by the monster curse
In future time, old men will tell their
grand children, listening on the knee, of this
moral warfare and triumphant victory. Ole
men, with hoary heads and furrowed brows
will feel the languid tide of purple quicker
as they proudly boast that they were undel
; the white banner in the strife-struggling fol
the Right; and there will be old men, too
whose withered cheeks will burn beneath
downcast eye, when little grandchildren shall
' ask them where they stood on the great bat
r tie field. \

test, he was tried by a Military Court, and
condemned, having confessed his design to be

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
"Pickled-ROd."

A. M. German, EsQ.--Dedr Sir-Let me
express my great admiration of the four letters
signed "Pickled-Rod," which have recently
been inserted in the Spirit of the Age. In my
humble judgment they are the happiest articles
which have appeared in temperance literature
IN many a day. The searching logic and
scorching rhetoric of those letters remind me
ofthe power Of JuniIg. The writer is capable
OF achieving any thing in letters he may
choose. If he write no more, the articles you
have published should give him immortality.
Let them be published together with the Re-
port OF the Committee on Propositions and
Grlevances-alas! poor gentlemen, they must
feel that the greatest grievance ever inflicted
upon them was their appointment on a Com
mlttee now consigned to the contempt of pos
terlty-and let the pamphlet find its way to all
our voters, and be used in our schools and col
ieges as a companion to Whateley's Logic and
Blair's Rhetoric. A more complete and mas
terly dissection of a State paper, probably
does not exist in English literature. There is
but one fault in the series, and that is that it
awakens a sympathy for the eleven ~unfortu-
mates, upon whom its oil Of vitriol is so quietly
poured and so gently rubbed in. AS the
reviewer tramples the Committee under the
hoofs ct his invective or losses them on the
NUNS u liz oatCdoLu, one leelS tIldG alLIOuSH
they richly deserve their fate, it is absolutely
shocking to see it inflicted. \
l am very sure that every year increases the
chances Of prohioitorv law in North Carolina.
The Report of the Committee makes its passage
certain. 1t must be the ablest possible effort
there can be made on the rum side in North
Carolina. The Legislature knew that this
subject would be pressed upon their attention.
1t must be presumed that the Committee was
selected with a view to the preparation of such
a report as should put a quietus to the Pro.
hibitory movement. 1t must have been com
posed of the very ablest champions of the
anti prohibitory party. They had the entire
time OF Il long session to consult authori ties
to compare views, to test arguments, and tc
collate phrases-and the masterpiece, the grea'
work, the most important Report made in oul
Legislature in seventy five years, is this stu.
pendous document. And the Legislature o
our great commonwealth gives birth to such
production! !! That it should be read beyond
the bounds of our State must be very MORT
flying to every lover of North Carolina. Blu
we have guaged the powers of the other side
and the victory is certain. Before this Repor
appeared, the people supposed, from the swag
gering arrogance of the opposition, that some
thing could be said on the rum side. They nov
see all. The entire force has been paraded.-
We shall have victory.
AS warmly as ever welded to the grea
cause, and feeling what a debt of gratitud
every right-minded citizen of North Carolin
must feel to Pickled-Rod, I am, dear sir,
Your friend, CHARLES F. DEEMS.
