Mr.. EDITOR, Sir AT a meeting of
tho friends Of temperance last Saturday

One of the most spirited and inausn-
tial temperance meetings which ever
assembled in Union House, was held
there on last Saturday Evening. Many
Of our most prominent citiz.ns wore
present, and to add charming interest
to the proceedings, it was gracsd by the
presence Of hundreds of our beautiful
and intelligent ladies, tsstifying; how
strongly their sympathiss were enlisted
in the cause. Such q manifestation Of
public sentiment cannot be mistaken
The temperance cause may have slum-
bsrsd, but it has aroused from, its leth-
argy with renewed strength and vigor.
1t can never die. Never! Whilst our
eyes can see or our tongues can tell Of
tho misery and wrstchsdnssi ensailsd
by drunkenness. Never Whilst tbs
tears Of tho widows and the cries q tn,
orphans will show wha. mads 'hsir
hearts dsso;ats, and their homes faiAer-
less. t
The meeting was called to order BY
the President, Welcome Sullman, Esq.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr..
WoOdiug.
The Secretary having read tho records
Of the two previous meetings, some des
ultory conversation followed in regard
to reports from Committees.
Rev. Mr.. Stowe, in most appropri-
ate address, pointed out the great bene-
fit which temperance songs would i'm
part to tho meetings Of the society, and
concluded by moving a COMMITTEES bs
appointed for that purpose, which was
adopted.
Mr.. Trumbull having bcen called for,
came forward, aud in his most felicitous
manner, cnehainsd the attention Of tbs
audience by his inexhaustlble fund o
anecdote, wit aud argument. He strong.
ly combAtted the assertion, "that thu
Connecticut Maine La. hid not sup.
pressed the use Of Intoxicating drinks,
by incontsstable proofs to tho contrary

laughter. Whilst with his weapon O
sarcastic wit he beat around the busbe.

plause. Long may his usefulness b
granted him, and his talents appreciated
A Reverend gentleman, whose name
We could not learn, next addressed the
meeting with somo very chaste remarks
followed by Rev. Mr.. Burdick, who
fo'cibly urged the necessity Of taking
active measures for the forwarding o1
the temperance cause, and moved the
districtins Of the village with com
mittee to canvas for signsrs to the tenn.

adjourned to meet in week. Altogeth.
