sader, a Temperance Magazine" for
March. 185S-"General S. F. Cary, editor;
Caleb Clark, publisher. On the fourth
page of the cover it is announced as the
Organ of the National Division, Sons OF
Temperance, published at Cincinnati,
Ohio" We give some choice editorial
extracts from this number, taken from
the columns over which the name of the
editor, to leave no doubt as to their au-
thorship, is again prominently printed
General S. F. Cary, editor.
On page 307, General Cary gives his
special attention, as follows, to Lager
Beer and the Germans:
During the past month the editor Of
the Crusader, at the earnest solicitation
of large number of the friends of tenn
perance in st. Louis, visited that city,
and delivered four addresses. Probably
no city in the United States is more
thoroughly and completely under the
dominion of the liquor trade than this.
Grog-shops seem to be the principal
places of business.
Lager beer is the principal sign from
which we infer the German element of
the population is very large. As evil
communications corrupt good manners,
the American born are becoming brutal
lied by this filthy foreign swill. A perfect
ocean of beer is daily consumed and the
amount drank on the Sabbath is almost
incredible. There are about thirty brew
cries in St Louis, a single one of which
produced last year 5000 barrels-the
aggregate quantity amounts to 125, 900
barrels per annum. The average price
of beer, lager and common, is about
s. so per barrel at wholesale. The
brewers realize about 81 ,085, 900 per an
mum, and the retailers s., 100000, for an
unhealthy, demoralizing and destructive,
; and brutalizing beverage"
A little further on, in the same article,
General Cary says:
"The young cannot fail to be warned
by the untimely end of the thousands
who fall around them. Tens of thou
sands of bloated, diseased, halfrotted
beer-drinkers furnish so many signs
warning the manly, ingenious, noble
youth to avoid the beer saloon There
is no drink that disfgures the body,
stultifes the intellect, and brutalizes the
of the habitual drinkers of beer must
be dwarfed, diseased and inferior race,
physically, mentally and morally. On
the whole, we were pleased with our visit
to st. Louis" DC.
In another editorial article commenc-
ing on page 305, General Cary says:
1.-THE gateways to death and hell would
not be permitted to stand open if the
people saw at glance the relations of
cause and effect. Idiots, lunatics, pau
pers, criminals crowd our asylums and
prisons; all the thoroughfares of life are
thronged with wounded, bleeding, dying
victims; graveyards are peopled with
premature Immortality.
1.-THE few only trace back these terrible
results to their producing cause. When
will the great body of people see that the
liquor traffic is the great foundation of
evil and of wrong, and arise in their
strength and exterminate it? How long
will they listen to and heed the cry of
demagogues and devils, that it is uncon-
stitutional to empty cages of unclean
birds, to abate the vilest nuisance that
God ever permitted. to pollute His foot
stool?
"The number of robbed, manned,
wounded and killed by the liquor traffic
throughout the Republic, is aIarmingly
great, and will continue to increase until
the people know their rights and dare
maintain them. The numerous cases
transpiring of men and women removing
grogshops by violence, show that the old
law of selfdefense has not been abro-
gated, whatever drunken Judges may
say about State Constitutions throwing
their protecting @gis around the damn
ing trade of death"
Cary be it observed, was not in favor
of any gentle method-like prayer and
singing. He was opposed to that
On the same page, is another editorial
article General Cary reads this lecture to
those he calls half temperance men,"
What a silly argument is that, then
that wine and beer drinking will pro
mote the temperance reform. 'Wine is
a mocker, strong drink is raging and
whoever is deceived by either is not wise
The tables of wine drinkers are full o.
vomit and flthiness, so that there is nc
place clean If the thousands of beer
saloons and the immense throngs that
visit them are promoting the temperance
reform, heaven pity us A wine-bibber

zen-faced impudence As well may the
smooth-tongued seducer boast of his ven
Grafton for female virtue, or thief tall

The Lord deliver US from these half-tem

bibber, the whisky drinker are ali in the
same broad way to death and hell oh
my soul, come not thou into their secret

Our collection of these gems from tn,
able pen of the Democratic candidate fol
Lieutenant-Gov is somewhat exten
sive, but we think the above will suffice
for to-day.
