Take a Position.

1t is time every good citizen had taken a
stand on the Temperance question. As was
remarked by Bishop Kayanaugh, on a certain
occasion-the public mind is now sufficiently
enlightened to know that Temperance prin-
ciples constitute the only and adequate rem
edy, for the low, and fendish evils that are
cursing our nation and race-sending power
erty, degradation, to the family and abode Of
the unhappy victim-that it is the Angel OF
Temperance that is sent out to bind up the
broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives, and the opening of the prison to
them that are bound. 1t is this blessed work
that has emptied prisons and work houses,
thinned the inmates of the. poor houses, fec
the poor and clothed the ragged, that has
brought light to darkness, and salvation t.
the lost. The work it has done it can d,
again. And now the increasing intemper
ance of our cities and towns are sending tn
walls of wretchedness, the sorrows of degra
dation to hearts Of sympathy, and arc calm,
forth the labors of the benevolent, and az
pealing to the mighty people to come to tn
rescue. The people in time must feel tina
in their individual and social capacity the
must, by moral and legal power, crush til
monster. We are fully persuaded that th
teaching of experience must come to our ais
and that truth and righteousness will prevail

Utah-Mormonis1n.

The late murder of Sergeant Pike, of the
10th Infantry, by the Mormons, win contri-
butte materially to revive the general feeling
OF dissatisfaction in regard to the manner in
which the Utah question has been managed
by the government. Brigham Young is still
the practical ruler of the Territory, and has
lived in open defiance of the authorities of the
general government. Is there no method of
reaching this ~high-handed operator ? or are
the outrages ofthe Mormons not only not to
be avenged, but to be continued with impu-
nifty? The disease is a desperate one and re-
quires~ desperate remedies. Nothing short of
the regular bayonet, we apprehend, will ever
prove adequate to the restoration of peace in
the Territory of Utah and the longer the
evil shall be tolerated, the more difficult. OF
course, will be its correction. Brigham Young
has sinned against the plainest statutes Of
natural and legislative justice; and he should
either be granted a general amnesty, with
permission to continue his outrages against
public sentiment, or be brought to trial like
an ordinary criminal.

Free Dinner.

There was at L. Smiths mill, Duplin u
ty, N. c., on the 18th of September last, a
Picnic, given by the citizens of that locality.
For which a large fabric was erected upon an
elevated hillwith a spacious arena for the ac-
commodationof those who wished to strip
the light fantastic toe,n which at eleven
o'clock commenced. - 5Tarb ze .eaa
At 10, the festival was in readiness. The
ladies were solicited to the board, then the
gentlemen. Soon after, they reassumed the
arena for the former exercise, which was con
tinued until a slight interruption was pro
l duced from o shower of rain.
| The Dinner was of the best, and done W
in the best style. 1t was prepared by thu
Messrs. Smith, the managers. The table wa
well attended to by competent walters. Al
the proceedings was conducted with the ut
most decorum and harmony and all seemed t
enjoy themselves so well, that they no doub
felt doubly. compensated for all their labor
It is gratifying to relate, that such a larg
collection could assemble In the old Mort
State, and have such a joyous scene Of festiv
ty, without any spirits, or inebriated chara
tters, to disturb the social mirth. In the evel
ing all parted in peace and harmony.

England and France.

The position of these two countries to-
wards each other, has again begun to assum c
a squally appearance, or as Hamlet said of
the Ghost, a questionable shape" France,
seeing England making great warlike prepa-
rations in peace-augmenting her navy to
the extreme and building up her maritime de-
fences, so as to be prepared for the worst in
case her powerful and ancient rival, Though
now her ally, should pay her an unfricndIy
visit, has begun to follow the example of Eng
land, as if to give her some ground of
argument for this extraordinary preparation
for war in time Of peace and although she
well knows her neighbor has not the most
distant idea of molesting her, she has an ex-
%cellent plea for extraordinary preparations on
her part also, without being charged with
want of devotion to the entente c0rdia6.-
Thus they are going on-and q loss of conf
dence on the part of each in the other and
mutual suspicious of foul play following, we
should not be surprised in the end if these
two excellent friends and allies once more fall
together by the ears. Heaven forbid that it
should be so, is our earnest prayer; but at
present it looks very much like it.
The last advices from Europe inform us that
France is busily increasing her naval force,
and terrifying her harbors; and the Paris
correspondent of the London Herald says:
THE public mind is depressed by some
vague foreboding, and a sense of impending
evil. The preparations going on in the dock.
yards on both sides of the channel have re.
vived the rumors of war with England. A
great impetus has been given to these rumors
of war by a Paris letter in the Independdnc,
Beige, which plainly tells us that the Empe
ror made peace with Austria merely for tn,
purpose of putting down the naval suprema
cy Of England, and that unless we submit
quietly to have our naval estimates fixed l.,
France, there must be war;,

Slanderers and News Mongers.

Mr.. EDIToR:-There is q class of persons in
almost every community, whose principal
stock in trade consists of tales of envy and
malevolence; and they are so extremely lib
eral in the disposal of these commodities, that
they many times add from fifty to one hun
dred per cent, and deliver them gratuitously
to all who will pay Difference to them. And
this kind of merchandise has the advantage
of all other kinds in one particular, that is, it
can be retailed and remain on hand at the same
time. But when it becomes stale or worn by
use, it is thrown away, and the news-mon-
gers then fish in the dirty pools of SANDER
for a new supply, which is disseminated
throughout the surrounding country.
These tale-bearers generally wear a sancti-
monious and hypocritical phiz. desiring to
create the impression that none are more
righteous than they but that there are 9TH
ers who are not what they would be taken
for, by eUer so mach. These censorious per-
sons are not so particular that everybody
should walk circumspectly before them, be-
cause a deviation from the path of rectitude
is more pleasing to them, as. it would aug
ment their capital without the trouble of man
ufacturing it, affording the means to keep q
full supply Of good gossip on hand. They
torture the reputation Of innocent persons in
a malicious manner, and rejoice to hear their
characters spoken of in disparaging terms.

than they would in slaughtering so many

rows of envy and malice at their fellow-man

The Tricks of Trade.

TIL progress of society, under the remedial
influences of education, social culture, moral
and religious teaching, and the power of good
of that high degree of public and private viz
tue, which such influences are designed to
produce. Honesty and unselfshness are rare
virtues among the masses of mankind, who
are engaged in the conflict for wealth or a
comfortable livelihood.
All trades have their tricks. Every grade
of worldly occupation has among their en-
ployees the cute, sharp schemer, the adroit,
joking jockey, or the nimble, versatile adept
at chacinery and deception. Nor are these
exhibitions of deprayity and corruption 50
offensive to society as good men are wont To
suppose. The frequency of these deyelon-
ments has rendered them not only bearable
but really harmless in the estimation Of men
in trade and traffic, until men of ordinary
: honesty have. come to imagine that there Is
, no harm, by way of r~eprisals, to take advan-
E tage of other t~radesmen, upon the princinla
o that a diamond is required to scut di,-
q mond."
Such a picture of public morals is trpIv
4 shocking to %virtuous minds, and vet it is no
of more shocking than true. How common IS
"a it for men to suppose that they do no wron,
to sell an article as they bought it, even tho,
n they have since discoveredgthat the article IS
b seriously damaged2 How numerous is that
e, class of articles in every branch Of trade Dow

lie almost worthless, but are sold for genuine

IN les, merchants, manufacturers, LAWYERS. and
nit doctors slight their work, or by false preten-
to ces deceive the ~unsuspecting and the unwary ?

- We learn that Bro. John Moffatt, III.
w. Conductor of the National Division, has
some idea of visiting our State soon, and Of
attending the annual session of our Grand
Division. Should he do so, It would be .
pity that q goodly portion of our citizens
should not have an opportunity Of hearing
him-for, as the s. C. Son of Temperance re-
marks-there is probably not 2 more effec-
tive Temperance Lecturerinthe UnitedStates
than he is. Should there be a desire to have
his services any where, and a willingness to
pay his expenses to such points as he may
visit, a letter to this effect, addressed to the
Editor of this paper, will be communicated
to him, ifhe does visit the State. We do not
know that he will remain in the State, should
he come, long enough to visit any portions
of it; but should he do so, it would be advi-
, sable he should know where his services are
especially desired. 56 p
