P. PHELPS, Esq-Dear Sir-The tempe
rance reformation has progressed so uniform
ly in every section of our State, that am at a
loss how to choose terms to make variety in
my reports believe the county of St. Law
renee is the largest one in the state, at all
events, it is an immense territory, and my la
bOrS were complicated; but was rewarded
each night with full and interesting (and be-
ieve interested) congregations. In many
parts of this county, the desolating fiend had
made wild havoc, and many giant intelects
have been snuffed out and consigned to the
narrow enclosures of the drunkard's tomb;
and some of that class are still Fastening to the
same terrific termination; and would here OBJ
serve, that the reformation has been so univer-
sal among the lower orders, that if we seek for
loafers, we must now look for them in the &c
atted stations of society. In every town the
blessed works of reformation were visible, the
smiling, mellowed and chaste countenance of
the reformed man greeted me; and their hap
py families would surround me, and tell me
all the wonders that the little magic ,uand"
had wrought in their circles. Oh, it was so

amples of this kind that have collected in
the state of New-York. A poor inebriate,
who had long been the victim of this outrage
on suffering humanity was induced, at length,
to take the dignifed stand, and being a man
of respectable talents, became very useful as
alecturer in the adjacent country His father,
hearing of his reformation, and being an ne-
briate himself, came quite a distance for the
purpose of again capturing his own son, and
again dragging him back to the ditch. He
brought jug of whiskey with him, and COM
menced the hellish work, and was too success
full: his unhappy son is again lost Oh, how
soon will rum scar and dry up the milk of hu-
man kindness in the breast of man.


entered the county at the village of Hop
kinton. Here couple Of lovely young girls
took the pledge, and carried it from slip to
slip, and | can assure you, they looked like
angels of mercy carrying peace and plenty to
every pew; in the report Of that place you will
see the effect. Oh, that lovely woman could
be induced to unite against their common foe.
IF they pleased, they could frown the monster
from the face of creation.


found many towns where ardent spirits
was not vended; and one had not licensed
grog-den for eighteen years: and that in the
town of PIERREPONT; hence, in all the dark
reign of alcohol, there has been for eighteen
years one little achite spot in the county of St.
Lawrence! [ should want week and a quire
of paper to give you the history of this interest
ing county; but know your contracted means
to publish them, and shall only now insert the
table, exhibiting the success of my labors.
