The Ohio Temperance Organ, of Cincinnati,
in noticing our account Of an excursion OF the
United Brothers Of Temperance of this city, to
Alexandria, couple of weeks since, says:
eve were before ignorant Of the existence Of
this new order in the temperance ranks. We
doubt the utility Of thus dividing and subdi-
viding, into so many different associations, the
friends of temperance"


We don't believe in such doctrine here. The
more Orders and Associations the better, so
that they work in the general cause. and har.
monize. Many enrol themselves with the
Sons of Temperance, who could never be
induced to sign the general pledge; many unite
with the United Brothers Of Temperance, who
have taken up the idea that the "Sons" are a
secret society, (although such is not the fact,
as the term is generally understood, } and so on
with the Rechabites, and other beneficial as
sociatons established on total abstinence prin-
ciples. The principles of all these associa-
tions tend to the advancement of temperance
and brotherly love; and the only difference we
observe in them, is, that the laws Of the United
Brothers obligate the members to do more out
door work-they are compelled to hold public
meetings for the advancement of total absti-
nence principles; hence they are calculated to
be greater public benefit. In this city they
are never idle in the cause. Meetings are
held by them every evening in some part of
the city, weather permitting; and on Sundays
detachments are sent to different parts of the
surrounding country, propagating their princi-
pies, establishing societies, and advancing the
cause in every possible way. Too much praise
cannot be awarded the United Brothers in this
District, for they have completely moralized
portions of it hitherto thought invulnerable
