FRIEND BoYcE:-I was at the Orange County
Temperance Convention at Williamstown, last
week, and can truly say, " 1t was good to be
there" The Convention was held in the Town
Hall, which was not over pleasant for its con
venience and neatness though we should not
find fault even, for we can readily remember
the day when it was thought that u well-fnish-
ed Church was too sacred a place to plead the
cause of the suffering poor now it is different
Our clergymen ave the strong advocates of re-
FORM and the talent of the State is on the 81 lie
of Temperance, Peace. An,Slavery and Pro
gress in all good things. " Happy day! o.
joyful hour " when the intelligence, the wealth
and power of the State are united in the great
work of reform, which will, at no distant peri
cd, remove poverty, ignorance and crime, ant
establish in its place, wealth, humanity, purity
of life, and freedom of action.
At the Wiliamstown Convention were seer
clergymen Of different denominations, all en-
gagged Intellectually and morally in the grea
and noble work Of reform The meeting wa
highly interesting from beginning to end, an
the talent exhibited in Speeches on the occasion
would amply repay any one for u journey @
many miles.
The benevolence of the reformers of Will
JAMESTOWN on the occasion, to those who wer
from other towns, showed the strong pulsation
of noble heat, deeply inspired with good-wi
to man
The position taken by some of the speakers
was radical and decisive. The Rev. Mr. Viii
temore of East Randolph, and Mr.. Powers
Washington, and Mr. Scott Of Williamstowr
took the position that spirituous liquors shoul
neither be manufactured nor used in any form
Mr.. Whittemore is appointed to give an addrc
on this department of the reform at the ne.
Convention, which is to be held at Tunbrid,
same time in September next.
1t was shown that nearly one-hall the crimes
the United States were induced by alcoholic
quors, and where it cured one, it killed ten
making mighty balance in favor OF their p
sition. They claimed that it was rs prop
that theft, murder, piracy, or any other Grim
should be regulated by law, as the use of c
holic liquors.
We sincerely hope that those persons wi
claim great cures from the use of alcohol, W
be present OF the next Convention, and g
their strong reasons. SYLVESTER.
