and the result is that over eighty thousand
men are directly under the pay OF the

these, $4,000 are office-holders, OF whom
more than $4,000 are dependent upon the
favor of the Executive for continuance
in office. Fify-thou>and ms are thus

For every man III, ii will be safe TO set
down al least three outs, who wish 10

Hon. George Nye was called for who
responded in one of his best efforts; he
spoke with much feeling and told many
wholesome truths, charging the growing
evil Of intemperance in the young upon
the old folks themselves, in failing TO SET
a proper example ard to throw around
their children a healthy moral and reti'
sious influence, fol the want of which
they had sought the slippery paths o.
intemperance. He urged upon the pa
rents then present, and the professors o
religion, to set about this matter anC
repair every one over against his owl
house" The pledge was circulated anl
received a roll Of seventy-tiye Names
/ This should be called the IraSburgi

faithfully kept 10y all. it shall be create
