THE PROGRAMME.

Executive Committee, charged with the duty of
making arrangements for the approaching Tenn
perance Jubilee. The programme is published
thus early, that our friends in the District may
have the advantage of the several suggestions
given here and there, which they will find it use
full to consider. We think the order of exercises
has been arranged admirably, and if persistently
observed will conduce greatly to wel-conducted
and successful celebration. ~,
Indeed, all the signs are propitious for o glo-
rious day. Should the sun shine brightly, it can
not be otherwise. Think Of IT,! There are, ac-
cordng to liberal calculation atleast seven hun.
dred Sons of Temperance in York District, not a
dozen of whom, we vouch for it, will fail to be
promptly in ranks. With the Lady Visitors, the
Grand Division and visiting members, they will
constitute phalanx of one thousand; and deck
ed out in the beautiful regalia Of the Order, will
present a spectacle never before seen in South
Carolina-to the friends of morality and religion,
heart-cheering, truly and genuinely magnificent /;
to the enemies of reform, spectacle more terri
BILE thansan ''army with banners" We calculate
falsely upon the motives which govern human con-
duct, if such splendid acbievement-the glory
Of good men everywhere-does not attract a lar

f. The "feast of reason" too, will be right royal
oue-a banquet worthy tobe spread before such
a company. In the first place, we are cure to see
the manly form Of the venerable patriarch, Judge
O'NEALL, and to be stirred:up by the. torrent of
eloquent, turning words, Of persuasion and of in
vective which he pours forth profusely- at times,
grandly-and, now and then, with On almost ter
rife effect We, 81 tho town, have been permit
ted to see and hear him often; but many Of our
friends in the country have never enjoyed such
season, and they will gladly hasten to its pleasures
In addition to this we have the best reason to ex-
pect that the great orator and Apostle Of Temper
ance, Gen. CARY, will be present TO pronounce one
of these magnificent appeals which, ot>much more
than year ago, put in motion the bah which has
since rolled on in uninterrupted triumph; and to
rejoice in the golden harvest which has sprung up
and matured abundantly from his own effectual
seed.p!anting. To hear Gen. CARY would be
worth the travel from one end of the State to the
other; and should he be with US, we shall expect
more than one to undertake the journey. The
Committee have not yet received fnal'a to
their invitation, which induces themto believe the
more strongly that the General will bring his ac-
ceptance in person. We sincerely hope so. -
We need not tell onr readers of the Pic-Nc.-
Is is theirs to furnish, and they know their own
mettle best. But we promise ourselves something
like wedding banquet. 1t will be So. The
ladies, God bless them have. this part Of the
programme in their keeping; and the occasion
calls out the best effort of their practiced hands,
The lords are already enthusiastic the purse
strings are very loose, now ) and The cause is very
dear, precious, indeed, to woman-binding up her
broken heart, gathering together and decking out
in the garments of rejoicing her once orphaned
brood, and scattering here and there around the
homestead, and around the fre-sde, pearls of
Eladness, oil the emblems of happiness and joy,
and all the flowers that bloom beautifully and shed
a delightful fragrance around the ''home Of Con-
teutment and Love-" They will vie with each
other on that dsy-not as to who shall come in
the most gorgeous equipage, or clothed in the fin
est linen-but who shall be there pronounced the
queen of the household We have been in the
couutry-#e have taken dinners out there, now
and then-and we speak what we know in promis-
ing that the fruits Of such o noble rivalry will
be luscious indeed. -
Come in then, and join the procession; Come
and hear the speeches; Come and purtake of the
feast, spread abundantly and Hospitality; Come;
one and all, from far and near, and, verify, ''we
will do you good" ..
