MEssRs. Eo1ToRs: Having been invited by
The United Brothers Of Temperance TO accom-
pany them to Alexandria, last Sabbath, and Ia
be present at their Temperance meeting, ac.
cordingly took advantage of the invitation, and
stepped on board of the j. Johnson, with a
procession of the Order, numerating some
where about eighty members. The breezes
inhaled from the waters of the beautiful Poto-
mac. and the delightful temperance songs sang
Turing the passage, rendered the time extreme
ly pleasant.


On our arrival we were met by deputa-
ion of Cold a,er men Of the nnrien, city, and
escorted TO the Market square. During our
progress through the streets, the Brothers were
greeted by the smiles Of the farer portion of
creation, and The approving and welcome nods
+ fathers; but still, how much more crafty
ing it was to see the balcony around the Mar,
ket square crowded with the beauty and fash
ion of Alexandria, and then, too, to see the
space below filled with eager expec,an,s, il
appeared TO be stimulus 10 the strangers from


ashington, and you might infer from their
pleasing countenances that their hopes and
expectations would no, be disappointed.


The meeting having been called to order,
Vr. G "rge Sa~ge, the great apostle of tenI-
perance, was introduced TO the vast assem-
b'age. His remarks were principally confined
to explanations Of The Constitution, and objects
of the Order of the United Brothers of Tenn
perance.


Mr.. Wilson, a resident, believe, of George
town, next took the rostrum, and for the space
Of half an hour enchanted the multitude with
an address replete with argument eloquence
sublime, and bursts of passionate pictorial IL
Iustrations, al once convincing all within hear
ing Of the dangers attendant on The use of in
toxicating drinks.


lhe Rev MIR. Arard was next presented to
the eager listeners; and he, in an easy and
chrs,iau-like style, pointed out the happiness
resulting from abstaning from all that would
intoxicale. His address was listened 10 with
marked attention, and appeared TO have grea,
effect.


And last came on the stand ''e renowned
lFhippie. " no that has ever heard of lem.
perance doings, have not heard of the name
of Wh'pph3 | need but say, he well sustain.
ed his established repu alton.


After the conclusion of his address, the
meeting adjourned; and understand about
twenty signers were obtained on ard the
boat, which, being added TO those who signed
in ;hr city, would make "inay tdi-a glorious
days work for the Brothers of temperance.
