Advancing.

Edjtor Rut5and Herald - Several
things indicate progress in the temper
ance work, in our State, to which we in,
vite the attention of your readers
/. The ground of total abstinence is
admitted to be the only absolutely, safe
ground. 1t was not so once. Moderate
drinking was advocated, as just, and
safe, but the people everywhere nearly,
are beginning to realize that all drunken
ess is preceded by moderate drinking.
abstinence would have prevented all
the mischief and woes that have grown
out of this moderate beginning.
2. Temperance meetings are more fire.
qucntly appointed and better attended,
than for long time in the past. This
under ordinary circumstances, is evi-
dence of progress.
3. More money can be raised than in
1871, and as it takes money to carry for
ward any enterprises, and of course this,
among others, we regard an increase of
contribution an evidence of gain of pro-
gress.
4. The support. is coming, i'll part,
from those who have not identified
themselves with the enterprise, showing
that the judgment, and perhaps hearts,
are in sympathy with this cause. We
learn that Gen. II. Baxter, of Rutland,
and Hon. T. W. Park, of North Ben
nington, have each paid to our agent
fifty dollars, and since Noyember last
Hon. F. Billings, of Woodstock, has
contributed one hundred dollars. |
know an enemy of temperance or of
these gentlemen, might say they gave
from no good motive, it was that they
might compass some selfish end the bet
ter. l coVet not the disposition that so
easily stamps good act, as the fruit of
an evil purpose,
5. The resolutions passed in the Con-
gregational State Convention are evil
dence of more thought and feeling on
this subject. You may say, perhaps,
that there is no change of principle or
basis with the churches. Well, if it
were so, the principle that moves its
friends to speak and do, seems the bet
ter one. 1t gives inspiration. Until 1871,
and the present year, find no record of
any conventional action, for many years,
Let your light so shine, is a significant
saying of Christ which ought to be very
suggestive to his followers.
6. The resolution passed by the Re
publican State convention at Montpelier
recently, is an indication, that the pub
lie mind, is feeling the Importance of
this subject more than formerly, and
how can it be otherwise. Ought not the
lamented death of some, and the ruined
constitutions of Others in nearly all the
relations of life, including the learned
professions, to convince Us, that broad
is the road that leads to death The
time is not far distant, when it will be
considered as unmanly and mean to
drink, or furnish it for others, as it once
was to be destitute of liquors in ones
house. LII. S.

lie now, for a moment, turned his at
tention to Henry Wilson and indulgedin
low and cowardly SANDER. He also
gravely announced to the audience that,
as lawyer, he had been investigating
the question, and had made the astound-
ing discovery that they didn't vote for
President and Vice-President direct, but
voted for electors. Here he became
somewhat mixed, and stated that after
making this discovery he had also ascer-
tanned that they couldn't ''vote for Hor-
ace Greeley without voting for Know
Nothing for Vice-President. So far
was true, the way the Liberal-Demo-
cratic nomination is made, but he show
ed that he didn't intend to inform his
listeners that GratZ was a Know-Noth-
ing, and that his truthful statement was
a slip of the tongue, by adding, after
the word "vice-president, Henry Will
son. We should not allude to an evil
dent "slip of the tongue" but for the
fact that, by it, the speaker inadvertent-
ly stated fact, which he and his party
would gladly conceal.
He then returned to Gen. Grant again
and quoted the statement or letter,
which has been repeatedly shown to be
false, so far as Gen. Grant is concerned,
that he would go over to the rebels with
his sword and fight for them, if he
should find the war was being waged
for the abolition of slavery. He fixed
the date of this as some time in the year
1868 AS the Proclamation of Enamel
patton was issued January list, 1868, 9TH"
same YEAR,, the question of intelligence
or veracity would naturally suggest
itself again After referring to the fact,
as he claimed, that he (the speaker and
Horace Greeley were lifelong abolition
lists he proceeded to demonstrate, or
rather to argue, the right of secession.
He claimed that State had a right to
secede, and illustrated this part of his ar
gument, if argument it may be called, by
reference to the American revolution,
etc, and said the only difficulty was that
they (the rebels) did not succeed. He
said he was an cold dyed in the wool
Democrat, and that it was a bitter pill
to swallow Horace Greeley, Che said be-
fore. he it remembered, that he was a
lifelong abolitiOnist), but, upon the
whole, lie thought it would do them
! good to swallow him.
After having spoken about an hour, in
a rambling, disconnected way, he stated
that the issues Of the campaign are too
many to be dealt with in one evening,
and he would, therefore, not allude tc
them. He appealed to Irishmen to swal-
/ low the bitter pill and vote for Greeley,
not to be led away by the advice Of en-
! plOyers, agents and others-"DOn't listen
to them, but listen to me, (the speaker,
vote for the State, county and town lib,
eral republican nominations, for the
moral effect.
We have thus gone through with, and
commented upon, this remarkable speech,
not emitting, We think, a single point
made by the speaker, if he made any.
We can only repeat that we wish every
voter in Rutland and Vermont could
| have heard it, If this is the stuff" 10y
which the opposition expect to gair
votes, their and our opinion of the intel
Iigence of Vermonters differ very ma
terialIy.
