Mr.. EDITOR: Allow me to call the attention
OF temperance men and the community at
large to the fact that an association has been
formed IN this city, for the purpose Of dissem-
mating the divine results oftotal abstinence, by
the publication and free distribution Of tempe
rance tracts and papers, and, believing that
this association is one from which great good
will result, sincerely and earnestly hope that
it will receive the fostering care Of all tempe
| rance men.


attended meeting of the ''Union Tempe
rance Tract Association" few evenings since,
and was agreeably surprised to find large
and enthusiastic number of citizens, ministers
Of the Gospel, and several strangers of distinc-
tion, among whom were three chiefs of the
Seneca Indians. There was more of the true
beneyolence of temperance displayed than |
have witnessed for long time. The Rev. Mr.
Tuston, an earnest and able advocate in the
cause, presented the association with thou
sand well written tracts, showing the evils of
intemperance, and the greater contrast of total
abstinence. was much pleased TO see that
the Rev. gentlemen took such an active part
in the cause. The influence Of such men can
not be estimated. hope that all ministers of
the Gospel will take as active stand.


Allow me here, Mr.. Editor, to mention that
the praise of temperance men generally, is due
TO these ministers of the Christian church who
have attended their meetings, in doors and out
of doors. allude to the Rev. f. S. Evans, the
Rev. Charles Davis, the Rev. U. Ward, and
others who have thus advocated the cause.


am happy TO hear that the Rev. Mr. Slicer
is coming among us again, he is whole- souled
advocate Of total abstinence, and hope will be
the means ofreclaiming many Of the wayward.


was also gratifed at the meeting to see
such liberal spirit displayed. A number of
citizens contributed largely to this Object
When such men as Messrs Owens, Hen shaw,
Seby Parker, and others who belong to this
association undertake so good work, you are
aware, Mr.. Editor, that their efforts will not be
unavailable. G. G. b.
