Messrs Editors


was very much pleased to see by your last
paper, that the colored population of this city
have formed temperance society, for nothing
will prove of more benefit to the cause you advo-
cate, than temperance Why is it, would ask,
that this unfortunate class of men have been held
up as a byword to community? Why is it that
they have been treated so much like beasts of
burden 1t is because the demon 1ntemperance
has acquired such control over their better feel
ings as to shut out from their minds all self re-
spect, and all those noble sentiments which ought
to animate the breast of every individual. 1t is
high time, my friends, that such society as that
which you have commenced should be put into
successful operation, and that you endeavor to do
up the work of reformation which is SO much
needed, especially in this city. Go on, then, and
may you prosper in your phiIanthropic undertak-
ing, and rest assured you will not be unrewarded.


FRIEND OF TEMPERANCE.
