Our readers are aware that this distinguished
gentleman is jealous advocate Of Tempe
rance. 1t cannot be otherwise than gratifying
. the lovers of the cause, to behold one whose
talents, reputation. and high position, make
such ap auxiliary desirable, at the head of our
glorious phalanx ID the old Bay State. In
days Of yore, Massachusetts, lavishly contribu-
,ed her energies to free our country from the
chains Of foreign despotism. and now, with
ardor undiminished, her gallnat sons and
daughters assist TO crush the tyrant alcohol.
Whist ! noble example does Gov. Briggs set
before those who have been elevated to sta
,ions Of honor and responsibility by the peo-
ple. Hn influence will not be lost, we are con-
fident, nor will be lose his appropriate reward.
The calm sunshine Of an approving conscience,
and the pleasure Of beholding others induced
by his example to edo likewise" will, Of them
selves, form rich compensation.

following extract from the Boston Eagle. pa
