The necessity for the institution OF some ac-
tive measures TO stay the progress Of intem-
persnce has for some time pressed itself upon
the attention of the citizens Of this commu
nifty. That the evil of former days was
again breaking in upon us with an increas-
ing flood, has been seen with painful intc-
rest; and hence the Temperance League
composed not necessarily of those only who
have long been in the ranks of total abstl-
nencc men, but also of others who now are
ready to JOIN hand in hand to stop the per
nicious sale and use of intoxicating drinks
under the fullest conviction that unless
something is more effectually done, than has
been done Of late, the destruction Of health
and morals to individuals of peace and pros
perity to families, from intemperance bids
fair soon to equal what was ever known in
the history Of the place. The intention Is,
by pubic discussion and private influence, to
awaken the public to a true sense Of the
danger that is before them, and thus TO
unite the powerful influence of moral senu-
ment and the force of law to bring about
better state of things on this subject. The
meetings will be public, and all, male and
female, temperate and lntemperate, are cor
daily invited to attend. We are happy to
see that a similar movement in the right
direction Is in progress pretty widely in the
State.

BURLINGTON
FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 2. 1864.
Push on the Volunteering!

The Government evidently intends that
there shall he no prolongation Of the war,
for the want of men. If the rebel leaders
are in straits for forces. so much the more
reason Is there for the Union armies to be in
force to push them overpowerinsly TO the
wall. Granting the late draft and volunteer
ing to have placed full 3OO, 900 men into the
ranks, the draft ordered for the 10Th Of
March will give 100000 more. If more
than 800 600 shall have been furnished pre-
vious to that date, the required number
will be reduced accordingly. In the mean
time. the large Government bounty, of $500
to new recruits and S4O0 to veterans, is pay
able to those who enlist previous to March
list After that date, there is no provision
for it, nor is it at all likely that one will be
made This makes strong inducement Tor
volunteering without delay. There were
many instances where persons offered them
selves rs recruits after the quotas OF towns
were filed. The opportunity to secure the
large L. ;. bounty Is still open to them
Wboever finds himself drafted after March
10th will also find himself regretting that he
did not enlist before the lst of March aud
secure the bounty.

The Expulsion Resolution Withdrawn.


1t seems surprising that so much time was
spent in the L. 5. Senate over the resolu
ton Of Mr.. Wilson for the expulsion of
Mr Davis of Kentucky. The ground
of Mr. Wilson's resolution was that the re-
solutions introduced by Mr.. Davis, were
trcasonable in their character That some
phrases in them had very strange sound in
them, to come from loyal man, cannot be
denied. Yet the intent Of their mover ought
to be interpreted by the general character Of
his conduct and language as a Senator. After
DAYS Of proitless debate, Mr.. Davis said
distinctly that he did mot intend any such
meaning in his language as Mr.. Wilson's re-
/ solution imputed TO him, that the thought
Of stirring up the army 10 mutiny or the
people to seditiOn, was not in his mind A
constitutional settlement Of difficulties and
reconstruction Of the Union was all he aimed
at. The explanation IS rather lame, to be
sure. and it would have come with better
grace if made when the expulsion resolution
first made its appearance, but at any rate 1t
was clear repudiation of any treasonAble or
disorganizing purpose.
The speech Of Senator Fessenden on We'd
nesday, as reported, seems to us very much
to the purpose
! Mr. Fesseuden announced his intention to vote
I against the expulsion or censure. He regretted
/ that the attempt had been made TO do either.
l Senators did variouslthings here to gain immor-
! tality. Some offer petitions, some memorials,
/ some resolutions, some orations The Senator
/ from Kentucky did all Of these, which ne had a
/ right to dc, though it tries the Senate sometimes
/ He I'D not think the resolution advising revolt
against the war leaders, taken as a whole. sub
{ iect to the construction put upon IT, though II
might be made reasonable. II It were offensive
the disclaimer Of the Senator was enough He
felt bound to look at the Senator's previous his
tory to Judge Of his present convictions he be
heved him to be loyal man. He considered
I the resolution Of the Senator as very violent
/ and Incorporate stump speech against the Gov
. erument. But TO expel him would be an ac-
acknowledgement Of our inability TO meet and re
I fite his arguments He would give the largest
/ liberty 10 comment on the acts of this or any
/ Administration.
Messrs. Hale, Anthony, Foster and others,
while condemning the language of Mr. Da-
Wis, went for large liberty in debate, and
said thew should not vote for the expulsion
or censure of the Senator from Ky. The re-
suit was that Mr.. Wilson-after character
izing the resolutions as interpreted by Mr.Ds-
Wis disclaimer, as farcical-wlthdrew the re-
solution for expulsion We think it will
occur to many that if there had been few
minutes given, at the outset, to an inquiry Of
Mr.. Davis as to what he really meant by his
resolutions, large saving Of time-if moth
ing more-would have been made. Ii is 70
be hoped that Mr.. Davis will have learned
something by this experience. He ought to
realize that great deal of violent language
which would pass as harmless in time o
profound peace, is dangerous in time of war
