Let US alone and mind your own bust

In reply to this eXhOrtatlon of liquor dealers,
DR.. Burns, of England says:
| cannot let the traffic alone. ! have never
sold bought, given, tasted, or recommended or
sanctioned it in one form oranother And yet,
sir, this traffic won't let me alone. 1t attacks
my pocket. Who pays the'lncreased taxation
Of drunkenness The sober and the vlrluous.
And 1t is shame that the whole community
should be taxed for one class. | know some
persons have said, "why don't you let our trat-
fic alone! We don't Interfere with you: you
may go on with your LeetOtal speeches, only
don't come out in this prt hlbitOry-taw manner"
might say in reply, "lf you had let me alone,
might be temped to let you alone; but un
fortunately you won't" And where is the man
| in the country who has his eyes TO see and ears
to hear, and heart TO feel, and bowels to yearn
| and sympathles with moral WretchedneSs, that
! must not be disturbed beyond utterance every day

Temperance Attms.
Temperance IN the PuIrit.

Ii there is single minister of Jesus Christ
who honesty believes that rumselmg is no vio-
laton of the Christian Thesis, let him stand
out fairly and frankly before his brethern of
the nineteenth century, and aVow the fact. All
that temperance men want, is far field and
a fair view of the enemy and then they are
ready for the fight again. Ii any minister of
Christ is afraid to speak his honest convictions,
let him say SO, so that we can mark him, and
know where to place him. Let me ask such
minster-Do you suppose that when the " Son
Of man" came in that age of the Jews, with
power and glory, that he came merely to reform
religious ceremonies. Was that the object of
the Christian mission. Was it a religion Of
rites and ceremonles-of sacrtical aliarS-of
smoke and incense. Was it only to tell peo-
pie how sermons should be preached prayers
said, or oblalOns performed? Did not the Jews
vindcate their social sins, and their system OF
blood and hate, by declaring that they had
abraham as their father; but what did John
say Jew, the axe is laid to the root Of your
tree--to the root of your sins-to the root OF
your entire hypocrisy and wrong g-doing-thc
axe shall have effect, and you shall feel the
stroke-the floor must be purged."
There was not a political or social sin--a
curse--a blasphemy, or wrong existing in
that JeUiSh Policy, but what Jesus Christ de-
nounced. Did he not speak against the crime
of adultery-the sin of swearing-fase con-
demnation-againsth hypocrisy-against drunk
eness, against wUrshiping God and Mammon,
&c, &C.! And yet we are told now, that to
preach against rum-drnking, rags poverty,
black beard, llcentiousness, and all the effects
of intemperance, is not UOrh for the pulpit
Think of it, Christian men and soldiers toI
Christ, and defenders of the New Testament
Faith Think oft, that minister will dare tc
stand before US at this day, and declare him,
himself for rum, grogshops, rags, ruin ant
shame !-CayUga Chief

Good News ron England.

Most cheering is the intelligence recently
received. from thence. The Temperance men
Of Scotland are hard working, perseverlpg,
systematic, and progressive. They do not la
bour in vain The Commonwealth says:
ave cannot lay down the pen without say
ing word touching the progress now being
made by Temperance principles IN the Scottish
Churches. In the last report OF the free
Church. Temperance Society, there occurred
these words The Soclety's prospects were
never so bright as now. Began only seven
wears ago by three or todr individuals, and
when perhaps not dozen minister's IN the
Church were known to hold similar views, II
has already gained about one-sIXth part of the
msnlstry, and one halt OF the rising classes OF
hoth preachers and teachers OF ordained
ministers and probatoners there are in all the
denominations of Scotland, above five hundred
who abstain. Among Free Church divinity
students. abstaners are almost two TO one, aud
amonp those of the United Presbyterian body
nemrly three TO one. In the Established Church
| the proDortion whether of ministers or students
! is not, indeed, SO great; but this cannot IN
validate The general fact that most influential
portion of the public OPINION OF scotland Is De'
Gaming favorable 70 Temperance principles
| Coupling this circumstance with the compll
ment recently paid to Scotland on the score
advancing Temperance, by the Chancellor o
the Exchequef, and the vast decrease In th'
consumption Of spirits during the last year, WI
NAV well rejoice IN the success of the cause
/ and look forward TO the day wheny by the ID

will no longer obsGruct IN Scotland the sprea'
of Christianity and the diffusion of happiness.

McMENvILLE.-We had the pleasure recently Of
spending several hours in this pleasant little town
Although nesting in one of the most heaIthful spots
in the State and surrounded by picturesque scenery,
les growth has been slow. This was the result
chiefly of its difficult access. Bot at this time,
railroad connecting it with Nashville is fast sp-
preaching completion, and the spirit of enterprise
Is aroused. improvements are in progress, others
to follow; and It win not we believe, be long
ere the people of McMnaville may justly be proud
Of the beauty Of their town. n they prove out
true to themselves they will also realize the rich
promises of the future, which look to McAinnville
as animportant manufacturing point, and the nucleus
around which many branches of trade and industry
shall gather. How near, or how distant the day.
when they shall realize tIese promised blessings
and benefits rests upon themselves TO determine.
They have but to put forth proper efforts to enjoy
them speedily. The example furnished them BY
the enterprsing proprietor Of Beersheba Springs
should not be permitted to 90 unmproved The
sure results of lOerality In the outlay Of means,
which another twevemonths will develope in bis
case, ought TO be sufficient inducements to men Of
the least sagacity to push forward the race for
fortune. Every dollar judicously spent will pro-
duce twOiold and often more. One Of the frst
wants of the place is a good hotel to accommodate
the numerous visitors who may next year desire to
tarry there awhile. The stream Of travel viii be
large, and it must be accommodated. Look to il,
citizens of McMinnville, that you are prepared to
accommodate it satisfactorily.
