TEMPERANCE CONTEMPORARY Cumber-
land Co. Temperance Association will hold its
next meeting at South Freeport, tomorrow
commencing at 10 o'clock and continuing
through the day and evening. The steamer
Tyro will leave Portland at S o'clock and re-
turn in the evening for the purpose of taking
persons to Freeport and back who may desire
to attend the Convention. 1t is very desirable
that the friends of Temperance should give
the encouragement OF their presence at least
to the meeting of the Association. The Tenn
perance question although partially beclouded
by the all-pervading interest in the war; is as
important to-day as any day since it was first
agitated, and it will again demand the atten-
ton of the philanthropist and the christian
with pertinacity they cannot resist. Let all
who can go to Freeport on Thursday, and
spend one day for the good cause OF Tenn
perance.

A Patriotic Religious Denomination.


writer in the Methodist Quarterly Re-
view for July, in an article entitled "On Meth
odism and the War;" says:
Not among the least of the arguments in
favor of the righteousness of the present war
on the part of the Union for the suppression
OF the rebellion, is the fact that the great
leading denominations of the North have ut
tered a clear and decided testimony in its sup
port. Without disparagement to any OF these
denominations. it must be said that first and
foremost of the churches in the North stands
the Methodist Episcopal Church. As when
in the war of the Revolution the Methodist
church was the first through her accredited
representatives, to give in her unqualified ad-
hesion and support to the government, so
now, when that government is assailed by
traitor hands, is she the first to spring to arms
in its defense.
After referring to the patriotism of the he
roic and sainted Asbury in the time of the
Revolution, and the heroism of ministers and
members OF the same denomination in the
present war, the writer introduces a statement
made by the Hon. NJ. +. Odell, in an address
Conference of the NJ. L. Church-Mr. o. said
he had been informed by the President, the
Commander-in-Chief OF the army and the ma
Wy of the United States, that no church had
given its ministers and men more freely than
the Methodist church all over the land What
the President asserted correspondent with his
own observations. The last Sabbath he was
in Washington, during the session of Congress,
he, in company with other christian brethren
visited one of the hospitals located in the SUBJ
urbs Of Washington. One of the company
was the present Chief Magistrate Of Connect
cut. They found in the wards Of the hospitals
six hundred soldiers, and before they left the
whole company of wounded men united in
singing the well-known battle hymn,
ION Jordan's stormy banks stand"
to the tune of Coronation. Such singing he
had never heard before, and he ventured to
say that every loyal state in the Union was
represented by Methodist soldiers. In all the
camps and hospitals he had visited, he heard
the grand old hymn of Methodism sung, and
he never found company in which were not
Methodists.

lE- Gen. Wilson stated in our City Hall
that, Of 5000 military nominations made by
the President, since the rebellion commenced,
that had come before the Military committee
OF the Senate for confirmation, more than 1000
were democrats; that the committee, consist
ing OF four republicans and three democrats,
had never divided on one of them on political
considerations, and yet we find the Portland
Advertiser-a paper as reasonable and as
worthy OF governmental notice as any paper
can be-denouncing all democrats who accept
commission under the government and sup
port its policy, as renegades, and charging
them with being bribed! That paper of yes
terday says, "Of what value is the testimony
of the Buffers, Burnsides, Logans and other
democratic renegades, Uhen the price Of their
treachery is TO be found in their pockets, and
is blazoaed on their shoulders p Burnside.
the deiverer OF East Tennessee, and Logan,
one Of the most daring heroes of Yicksburg,
are thus held up before the people as rene
gades and criminalsl How long will a loyal
people consent to allow such defaners OF
our nations defenders to carry on their in
iquitous work?
