The annexed article from the Total


Abstinent, was in type for our last pa


per, and unavoidably omitted with much


other matter of interest. We take this


opportunity however, of informing our


numerous friends, that at no period of


the great reformation, was the benign


influence of Temperance felt, or more Vi


sibly seen, among any class of the COM


munitv, than may be witnessed at pre-
sent, throughout our entire colored feI-
low citizens Of Albany.

of the Columbia College, u. C. The
main object of the pub.ration, if we are
correct, is to invite free discussion as to
the kind of wine proper to lie used at
the Lords Supper Mr. ID. thinks the
question has vast practical bearing on
the final triumph of the temperance en-
terprise; but deems it, however, ques-
ton belonging more particularly to the
CHURCH than to temperance societies to
settle, and he therefore W ishes the pub
lica ion to be viewed independent Of
temperance societ es, although he trusts,
as indi.i iduals, every member of these
societies, as well as every member Of the :
Christian Church, will hecome interested
in the question. The exigencies Of the
times, i'm our opinion. demand such
publication, and we trust that it will ex-
ert a great and good influence in the
cause, which the editor has so long and
SO zealonsly labored t" promote If
