IL affords US sincere pleasure, that we are
once more able to hear witness TO The revival OF
WaShingtonian principles among our people,
and 10 the renewed energies exhibited by our
Total Abjtinence Society. We can now say to
he friends of Tempe rance throughout the coun-
try, that among US the glorious cause is moving
onward. The number Of membe rs in our Soci-
ETY. is increasing, and our principles are taking
stronger hold and deeper root in the affections
Of our citizens


The meeting at the Presbyterian Church on
Sabbath evening slast was one OF the most glo-
rous that have had tor a twelve month past.
We had several good and cheering speeches on
the occasion. and their good effect dbund
antly testified by the number of new signatures
10 the pledge which were obtained after their de
| livery The speakers were the Rev j III
Blackwell, of the Memphis Conference, ]. w.
C.. Watson, Esq, OF town, Mr.. Lacy, OF
Sommerville, Tern, and The Rev Mr. Camp
bell, of Carroll County. These gentlemen de
serve the warmest thanks of the friends of virtue
and happiness for their noble and glorious efforts
in This good work. Could we enlista few more
such devoted laborers, doubt not that those
NUIsANcEs. (yea, and worse than NUISANCES,
The liquor shops, would soon be expelled from
our town ano our county, and our citizens
would present the noble spect acle OF a sobei
and virtue loving people. And who can but re-
feet here upon the inestim Unable blessings whieI
would flow from such a state Of things7 Blu
our time bids us hasten to a close. Let il suffice
10 say, that our Society have walked in this m al
leT, and we humb.y hope that their efforts vii
not be stayed, until this tide Of ruin and wo bs
rolled away, and we have obtained the grea
blessings for which we are struggling.


Before closing this hasty article, must re
| turn our thanks 10 one of the speakers, for ihs
very complimentary manner in which he wa
pleased to notice our humble efforts in the cause
and in return, we pledge ourselt that those f.
orts shall not be abateG, whilst then cuse VIII icl
prompted them shall exist.
