The gentleman whose name stands at the
head Of this article, has rendered good service
70 the cause Of Temperance in this city, and i'll
Georgetown, within the last two weeks, by his
energetic and powerful addresses. Through
his fundamentally, scores Of individuals have
been induced to become members Of the differ
enl Temperance Societies. We have seldom
listened to more effective speaker. We d.
not claim, that Judge Williams surpasses, or
il even equal, in what is generally termed el"-
quence, TO several other persons, TO whom il
has been our privilege to listen. In this res.

audience. Hir subject and 10 himself is cor.
-ian'Iy exalted Hr- facts are frequently star.

TO promote its interests, both at home and
abroad.

forward the blessed cause Of Temperance
Why is il, that, in 10 many instances, our pub.
lie men are unwilling TO deatify themselves
with 'h's cause? They are willing, generally
10 concede it's imp .rtance, and they even 60 50
far as to wish i, success but, still, they permi,
not their names TO be enrolled in the number
Of its friends; and, for causes best known Il
themselves, abstain from every thing like per-
sonal efforts in its behalf We ash again--and
we would make the question as emphatic az
possble--why 10 it. that our public men, gen.
orally, keep themselves at distance, SO "sub
timely remote " from all connection with thi,
cause?


We merely ask this question now, for the
