Door. HUME's TEMPERANCE LECTURES
This gentleman lectured in the Court House
in Auburn on Tuesday and Wednesday eve
nings Of this week. and VIC think gave great
er satisfaction than any person who has pre-
viously appeared before this public. The
subject has been carefully studied, and the
lecturer has few equals as rheterotician.
The exercises are diversified by song and an
ecdote. Those who have heard Cough and
some Of the more distinguished lecturers
upon Temperance, give the Doctor the credit
Of surprising them.

Of the American-practical business sense.
Add what they have promised, together, and
what they have done, and you will find the
latter bear no kind of proportion to the for
mer Place in the scales the giant work be-
fore the people, and the moral power of this
party to perform on the other side, and you
will at once observe the ncapacity Of the
party.
There is another political organization in
the United States, one which we regard as
by far the most mischievous and dangerous
that has ever existed They are professedly
agitators, and that too upon one of the most
delicate questions that exists among us-that
Of slavery.
The leading men of the nation, who have
had their country's esteem, have for years
used all their powers to allay this storm The
great men of the North-among them Cass
Websters Bright, Dickinson, Douglass, and a
host of others, have reasoned in vain against
the impracticable exertions of this party. This
party have declared there shall be no peace
unless their utmost demand be granted-and
to give this, is to dissolve the union Of these
States. They style themselves the "Republi-
cans" and their demand is, that as a matter
of right, there shall be established as law,
that which was notoriously a compromise, by
many believed in violation of the Consttu-
ton.
It has been enacted by our national assem-
bly, that the question of slavery or no sla-
very as domestic institution, was one which
should alone be decided by the people Of the
particular society that was Immediately af
tected by the institution. But this party
have decided in high council that the ques
ton is one which of right the whole nation
may vote upon.
Heretofore these men have had no distinctive
organization in our State as party They
are at this time endeavoring to array them
selves for battle AT this time it is difficult
to say what amount Of that political school
we have in the State, but from present indi-
cations it is believed an organization will be
effected. Your support will then be solicited
for their candidates.
They propose no work of public improve
ment no change Of foreign policy, no altera
ton in our internal policy, not one single act
having practical benefit to us. One idea
alone absorbs their every sense, and that is to
settle a question with which we have nothing
to do, or are in any way as citizens affected,
whether for good or evil You have there
fore no interest in casting your votes with
them. Regard the matter cody and YOU
must see that it is your duty as well as plain
ly your interest to oppose them.
There is but one other party, and to this
one we invite your attention. We allude to
the Democratic organization. Read its pa
pers listen to its advocates, weigh well and
carefully the reasons pro and con, and in all
sincerity of heart, if you do not find it your
duty and interest to give it your support,
then cast your vote against it, and peace be
with you.

The MoTHER oE GEoRGE WASHINGTON
His mother, also, was one of his best teachers.
Her eldest son was eleven years old, when, by
her deceased husbands will, she became sole
guardian of the persons aud large property Of
her children. She proved herself worthy Of
the trust. Endowed with plain, direct good
sense, thorough conscentousness, aud prompt
decision, she governed her family strictly, but
kindly, exaciing Difference, while she inspired
affection. George, being her eldest son. was
thought to be her iavorite yet she never gave
him undue preference, and the implicit defer.
ence exacted from him in childhood continued
TO be habilually observed by him to the day of
her death. He inherited itom her high tcm-
per and spirit of command, but her early pre-.
cepts and example taught him to restrain and
govern that temper, and to square his conduct
on the exact principles Of equity and justice
Tradition gives al interesting picture of the
widow, with her little flock galheted round her,
as was her daily wont, reading Ia them lsssous
OF religion and morality out of some standard
work. Her layorite volume was Sir Matthew
llale's Contemplaions, Moral and Divine"
The admirable maxims therein contained for
outward action as well as selfeoyernment, sank
deep into the mind of George, and doubtless
had a great influence in forming his character.
They certainly were exempihed in his con
