What has temperance done for this nation
within few years! 1t has sent it's blessings
among all ranks and conditions of society. Sons
and daughters have been restored--fathers and
mothers edeemed-husbands and wives re-
united-prisons and poor houses depopulated--
vice and poverty diminished-viriue and indus
try promoted-and thousands, once bowed low
in self-debasement and disease, now stand erect
iH honor and heathful vigor, shouting forth,
with one accord, the praises-the glorious
praises-of Temperance.


One might suppose that cause producing
such vast and ocular changes in the morals and
happiness Of a onmuntr-chaDges which are
observable in every neighborhood, and almost
in every famiv--woH}G I'll once enlist all re-
fiectng mlgd~ in its behalf But alas, no! At
every point is met BY absolute and determined
opposition; and inch BY inch are we compelled
to battle our way against the mighty influences
of fashion and wealth arrayed against it. But
let the friends Of our cause take courage from
the glorious victories already achieved; and
cheered on by the redeemed hosts which every
where hail u.s.. let our efforts be concentrated
and energetic. Every thing good and holy bids
us GO forward! Truth is with us--JUsTIcE is
with us-PHILANTHRoPy is with us-and "the
best of all is, GoD is WITH u.s." Tnen let
every soul come up manfuily to the work, until
our entire nation, freed from giant vice, shall
loudly proclaim the PRAISES IF EMPERANcE
