Ertrnct from the Fare,oeH Temperance address,


delivered before the creWcf The United States ship


Cumberland, By the First Lieutenant.


See how the Temperance movement has
changed the aspect of things. Look around,
and we see ourselves in a ship where that
great enemy to man--the enemy 10 his hopes
and happiness-ardent spirits--is abolished
Who would have believed man, thirty years
ago, had he predicted that ship, frigate! a
flag ship, TOO, of the Mediterranean squadron,
would cruise year without a grog-tub but
it has been done, and | have strong hopes
that thirty years hence, every man of war will
cruise without grog-tub, and that liberty in
almost every port, and money every month, as
has been the case in this ship, with many
other changes, will also take place; rendering
life in man of war comparatively more re-
spectacle and happy. But the credit Of taking
the lead in this reform, this matter, which will
prove so great blessing TO future generations
of seamen, will ever belong to the Cumber-
land, TO the crew of the Cumberland they
did it; they also sent petition TO Congress to
abolish the whisky ration--did it voluntarily
of their own accord---no coercion, no force
was used The subject was placed before
them-they chose, they acted for themselves
and by 1t have not only astonished people
