For the Yorkville Enquirer.
SONS OF TEMPERANCE.

A pious and benevolent Quaker being applied to
for aid in erecting church, replied: ''Thee knows
that nv principles forbid me to aid in putting up
steeple houses" But hesitating q moment, he
added "tbe old one must be taken out ofthe way.
and will give thee one hundred dollars to aid in
pulling it down." To remove rubbish is as neces-
sary as to labor on the building and the object OF
this communication, Mr. Editor, is to remove OBJ
stacles which hinder some from laboring success
fully in the great cause Of Temperance Objec-
tions are brought against the Sons of Temperance,
as reasons for not cooperating with them, some
of which have no foundation in reality and Others
are greatly mngniied. Those who wish to do
their duty in this matter, will be glad to obtain
help in removing darkness from their paths
while those whose difficulties originate in a love
for Intoxicating drinks, will reject any profered
aid, preferring the darkness to the light. My OBJ
iect is not to write eulogy on the Sons, or even
to offer an apology, but simply to present them in
their true character, at least, as they appear to
my mind.
No person will presume to say that the Order
of the Sons is perfect. This does not belong to
the works of man. Even if it we're, it would not
appear 80 to us, seen, as it must be, through the
mist of our ignorance, with our imperfect vision,
and through medium clouded by our various
preiudices Probably, it does not present precise
y the same aspect to any two individuals, for the
obvious reason that no two persons have the same
amount of light no two are placed in the same
circumstances, or occupy the same stand point.
We can never then, devise any institution to pro-
note temperance, which will meet the wishes of
all; we must, therefore, be satisfied with some
thing short of perfection if We associate with
others in this cause. Possibly, might devise q
plan of union which would be perfectly satiefac-
tory to myself, but, to meet the views and wishes
of others, it would have to be so modified that, in
the end, might be compelled to reject it.
With knowledge of such difficulties, find the
Sons already organized and engaged in the work.
In this section and the present tme theyare the
only organization laboring TO Danish intoxicating
drinks from society. look upon ne temperance
reform as great and good work. One in which
have been laboring, and in which I expect yet to
labor, but do not wish to labor alone, but to be
q CO worker with others. Can cooperate with
the Sons7 This question must decide for myself.
Every christian, every sober man, and every pa
triot, should decide it in view of the responsible
ty resting upon him. careful examination
will be necessary.
What object do the Sons profess to have in view,
as an organized body? What end do they seek to
accomplish? This they publish to the world. It
is no secret. The constitution Of one Of their D-
visions is before me, and in the Preamble, il is
stated That the object Of the Society is to shield
themselves from the evils Of Intemperance, to af-

In to-day's issue will be found another commu-
nication from Rev. S. l.. WATSON, on the subject
of temperance. Mr.. WATSON is temperate,
sensible and judcious writer, and even those who
do not agree with him, are disposed to treat his
opinions with respect. 1t gives us pleasure to
learn that the articles which have heretofore ap-
peared in the ENQUIRER from his pen, have ac-
complished much good for the cause in this Dis

letter to one Of our most respected fellow citizens,
which seems to portend speedy rupture with

forth in the Cincinnati Platform aud recognize il
as an authoritative exposition Of the Democratic
Greed.
RESOLVED, That the right of the people Of the
Territories to form all their domestic institutions
their own way, is absolute aud complete, and
that we are naturally opposed 10 any interference
with such right, either by the Legislative or Ex-
ecutve departments of the General Government
RESOLVED, That the Administration OF James
Buchanan by its outragcs upon the rights of the
people of Kansas. its unrelenting prescription OF
tried and worthy Democrats for the otfense of ad-
herring to Democratic principles, its constant vio-
ation Of the pledges which brought it into life its
attempt to render the Legislative subject to the
Executive Department and its gross extravaganza,
msmluagement aud corruption, has forfeited the
respect aud lost the confidence of the American
people.
Resolved. That the immediate construction OIL
the Pacific Railroad ought to be encouraged by
the Federal and State Governments by all means
in their power, and that meanwhile the mail ser
vice by the Overland routes should be sustained
and increased.
RESOLVED That our State Judiciary system
needs thorough aud complete revision and tina
the Constitution should be so changed as TO in
crease the number of Judges of the Suprem
administration of fjustice.
RESOLVED, That in the opinion Of this Conyen
ton, Congress should euact law TO protect actu
al bona fte settlers upon public lands in thei
lust rights.
Resolved That we, as a Convention repre-
sentng the true Democracy of California, adhere
with unfaltering firmness to the principles of De
mocracy, as taught by Thomas jefferson ant
which guided the councils Of the immortal Jack
son.
RESOLVED, That when this Convention ad
journs, its members adjourn to meet, as citizens
at the polls, inthe Ides ofSeptember and that BY
our labors and our voices, we show to the world
that the freemeu of California unbought by
Federal patronage, and are unawed by Federal
power, aud will stald by the sacred principles OF
Democracy ia defiance Of treacherOus Presidents
aud their Cabinets.
RESOLVED, That the doctrine of Intervention
by Congress to establish slave code for the Ter
ritories, assumed by the Administration adher.
ents, is q gross departure from the principles oi
the true Democracy as laid down IN the Platform
made at Cincinnati, and we repudate it as the
heresy of a faction and condemn il as an outrage
upon the great charter of American Liberty.
"REsoLvED, That the Chief Executive of the
Nation has broken his pledges to the people OF
the State of California. in regard to the Pacific
Railroad, which pledges we're announced in
his ill-timed letter of 1856, two weeks previous
to the election in this State and that we con
demn the Administration for its refusal TO place
the Central Overland Mail on the same footing as
to compensation, as the Southern route"
