The demon of Strong Drink.

The Demon OF Strong Drink has waxed
powerful in our land. He holds sway in places
high and low-oYer men of high and low es-
tate. His evil power is becoming more and
more absolute, and unless speedily checked,
threatens our country with wo and disgrace
unprecedented and inefable. The country
has recently been profoundly startled by the
fact that Vice President johnson, when he
entered upon the duties OF his high Office on the
4th OF March, was in state of inebriation
That noble, able, and truly patriotic man,
whose eminent services in the canse Of his
Couatry andlof Liberty, in the present life. and
death struggle with Slavery.engendered Re-
bellion have endeared him to every loyal,
freedom-loving hesrt, was on that occasion,
under the baletul influence of the Demon of
Strong Drink. 1t is some extenuation of this
humiating fact that Mr. johnson was in fee
BILE health, with nerves much uustrung by the
a1duous labors OF bis position rs Military Gov
ernor OF Tennessee, and the excitement Incl.
dentfto his new position, and was thus liable
to be the more easily overcome by the intoxi-
eating draught. This may be some extenua-
tion, but it is not valid excuse; and Mr..
johnson himselflbas too much manhood to
claim it as such. We trust that he has deeply
and sincerely repented, and that he will bring
forth the good fruits of sincere repentance;
that, hereafter, he will exhibit to his country
men perfect example Of temperance which
shall a tone for the sad delinquency. II An
drew johnson shall have the moral strength
to put the foul Demon of Strong Drink hence
forth and forever beneath his feet, he will be
forgiven by the American people Id whose
love and respect his natural nobility of char
acter and noble service in the cause of Justice
and Equal Rights, have given him so firm
hold. That he will do it we do not doubt.
