relative duties on which the welfare Of a
country depends? Certainly not, a nation
of drunkards would constitute hell.
The effects of intemperancc upon the
health and physical energies ofthe nation !;
the injurious influence of intemperance upon
the intellects of men; its effects upon the
patriotism of the people; upon their con-
sciences; upon their industrial habits, all
call, with trumpet tongues, upon the relig-
ious societies of our land to render their
united and concentrated power, to aid the
Good Templars in carrying on their great
work. Here all can unite. There are no
sectarian differences to prevent the united
efforts of all denominations of Christians
This union may be accomplished through
the medium of the order. There is no OBJ
ject for which union is imperiously de-
marded, or for which it can be affected un-
der happier auspices. God grant that the
entire land may be marshalled in its cause,
and the evils of intemperance be seen like
a dark cloud passing away, and leaving be-
hind cloudless sky.
And now in conclusion let me entreat OF
all the heads of families, those who have
the training and care of the youthful
mind, and to whom they are looking for ex-
ample and direction, to unite with our be-
nevolent order, and bring under its hallowed
influence, those committed to your trust
Hero you will find many who need your in
fuence to encourage them in their efforts
to resist the temptations to which they
arc daily exposed; and will you withhold
from them your assistance? Should a ser
pent of vast diminsions surprise in the field
one of your little group, and wreath about
his body his cold, elastic folds, Tightening
with every yielding breath his deadly gripe,
how would his cries pierce your soul, his
strained eye-balls, cOnvulsive agonies and
imploring hands, add wings to your feet, and
strength to your arms! But in this case
you could approach with hope Of rescue
The keen edge of steel might sunder the
elastic folds, and rescue the victim who
when he is released breathes freely, and is
well again. But the serpent intemperance
twines about the body deadlier grippe, ex-
torts keener cry of distress, and mocks
your effort to relieve him, by fibre which
no steel can sunder. Like LAGOON, We arc
compelled to look on while bone after bone
of our children is crushed, till their groans
are over and their cries are hushed in death.
And now to every one whose eyes pass over
the foregoing hastily sketched remarks,
would say, resolve upon reformation by en-
tire abstinence before you lay the paper
down. A Coon TEMPLAR.

Temperance CRUSADER.

An orator perspiring freely in husky
voice said:
"In short, ladies and gentlemen, I can
only say that l wish l had a window in my
bosom, that you might see the emotions of
my heart"
The newspapers printed the speech, leav-
ing the 'n" out of "window". He was ta-
ken somewhat aback when he read it.

Ofcommon comfort which, BY daiIv use
Has almost lost its sense: yet on the ear
Of him who thought to die unmOurned twill fall
Like choicest mucic."-KSowLEs.
Look on that aged man bending under
the weight of years, and drawn together by
infrmity. Sec how he totters! Drunk,
say youl Yes; it is too true! How he
mutters curses on them who deem it sport
to mock him! Heartless fellowsl Knew
they the history of that man, they would
not mock him thus. Listen while 1 sketch
it.
Amongst the sequested shades of quiet
home, his childhood came and went. And
there, methinks, see him now, fairhaired
boy whose mellow voice We'd with the wild
birds note, and whose fair brow a mother
fondly kissed, while hopeful visions of future
life entranced her with their promises.
She watched him as he grew, and mark
ed the developement of his quick intellect,
with such solicitude as mothers only feel
But
"The spiders most attenuated thread
Is cord, is cable, to mans tender tie
OF earthly bliss; it breaks at every breeze"
He loved his mother; but she died, and
the cold earth hid her from his sight. No
moro did she,
'EWith velvet lip
Print on his brow such language as the tongue
Hath never spoken"
She was gone, and gone forever. He
grieved awhile, but gay friends found him
soon, and he was one of them. Around
the light convival board, he oft was found,
and little by little, drop by drop, his blood
was charged with poison.
Think ye he had no struggles? Often
would his memory bring up the past, when
he was innocent and all was love and sun
shine. But these unwelcome visions only
made the cup of his despair more bitter.
The gamblers life he led, and its fate
was his. Deeper he plunged into the dark
abyss of ruin; and, wandered far from early
scenes and those who loved him once, he
is recalled by them as one whose race of
life is run and now lies sleeping in his mar
row bed.
Years have fled. Disgraced and friend
less now, he wanders hopelessly. None to
soothe or speak word of comfort, even as
he totters on the brink of that dread preci-
pice, at the far foot of which is dug the
grave. Thus goes he on. No
friendly hand shall close his eyes when he
shall take his last deep slumber; but stran-
gers thoughtless as yourselves, shall pile the
clods upon his bosom, as is it was a cheer
ing task to bury one who goes
"Roaming and sorrowing still, like who makes
The journey of life alone, and no where meets
welcome or friend, and still goes on
In darkness"

The Savannah (Ga.) JoUrnaI a demo-
cratic paper, republisheS the letter which
McGee, the editor of the n. Y. Cell, ad-
dressed to the Cincinnati Convention calling
upon that body to deny Mr.. Herbert, of
California, seat in it, and remarks
1t is impossible to say what portion Of the
foreign population this gentleman represents /;
but, we are confident of the truth of our de-
claration, when we say that a more gratitutous
piece of mpudence, we have never read in our
lives. 1t is to iHst such men. and such produc-
tions rs these that the foreigners are indebted
for all the violence which has been lately ex-
hibited against them in this country. Every
good citizen who has adopted America as his
home, should unite in putting down this editor
of the "Irish' Celt, for which lie will give good
and sufficient reasons.

sachusetts. You much underrate FilmOre's
strength at the North. Ii you will bat do
something for him at the South be win assur-
edly be elected"
From every quarter Of the North we are re-
ceiving information of the same character as
that contained in the above editorial of the
Troy Wing, and in the extract above copied.
With the whole conservative portion of the
North, Mr. Fillmore is the strongest man that
can be presented, and every day adds to the
strength of that class. 1t is a mistake to sup
pose that the whole conservative element of
the North will not unite in the support of the
American candidates. 1t is equally mistake
TO suppose that Mr. Buchanan has any strength
at the North beyond that which party drill can
give him. His popularity is altogether of
character which forbids the idea of enthusiasm
in his behalf, whilst the PLATFORM on which he
has been placed deprves him of much of that
respect and confidence which his general amia-
bity in politics had secured for him. He has
not single quality which can excite enthus-
asm.
We happen to know that some of the most
prominent men in the pseudo Democratic par
ty despair of Mr. B1chanan's election. The
more prudent men Of that party deprecate the
adoption of the Cincinnati platform. Those
opposed to "slnatter sovereignty" Geprecate it.
Those opposed to ibuslering ia the Gulf of
Mexico and in Central American deprecate it.
Those opposed to alien suffrage in the Terrific
ries deprecate it. There are other points in it
which are objected TO by many of the mem
bers of that party. As whole, it is consider
ed an unwise, an unsafe platform, and it will
not command the support of the party. Mel
Their the nominee nor the platform is popular

STEAMER MAGNOLIA LOST The Louisville
Journal of the 18th, confirms an account of
the loss Of the steamer Magnolia, Capt. Fuller.
from Cincinnati, freighted and bound for this
c:y. She struck a rock while rounding to at
the mouth of the canal below Louisville, and
became total wreck. The accident occurred
about o'clock on Thursday morning last. The
shock was so severe that her cabin was thrown
off aud also her boilers. A portion of the
cabin hoated down the river, aud a portion
WAS completely shattered to pieces. Her pas
sengers. officers and crew barely escaped with
what they had on. 1t WAS at first thought
that several lives were lost, but it appears
that all was saved, except young man named
Phillips, who is the son of Mr.. Phillips, of the
firm of Phillips & Jourdan, of Cincinnati.
The officers, crew aud passengers lost every
thing, and as many of the ladies were still
asleep, they escaped with nothing but their
night clothes on.
The Magnolia had two barges fully laden,
and was rounding to for the purpose Of taking
them in tow. The Magnolia is owned by
Campbell, Resell e. Co., of Cincinnati, aud
was insured in Eastern agencies
The conduct ofthe officers and Others at the
time of the accident, is spoken of in the high
est terms of praise. Messrs. Owen g. Red
ding, of the ST. Charles Hotel at Portland, ten
dered the sufferers the hospitality of their
house free of expense.
The Clerk'has saved none Of his books or
papers.
What amount Of freight she had on board,
and whether any of it was insured, we have
not learned.
