I - REDUCTION'," nr. “ JffO REDUCTION.” proposing a sclicme of atre feel no confidence that it will be unmodiate |y. popular. We doubt whether the subject has J Jgten canvassed sufficiently to display its merits. ’■‘We doubt, moreover, whether prejudice is pre pared to yield to reason—whutfier local, or sac lionaUjentiincnts, can be easily supplanted, by .the enlarge A and liberal notions of a comprehen- aive patriotism. These doubts are confirmed by tho that many citizens who have not maturely,ronsiderod the subject of a Reduction of the Legislature, deem a reduction of the House alone, sufficient. But we believe it will sntly be necessary to set the matter clearly be fore them, to convince them that a Reduclibn of the Senate is equally necessary. To do this, fully, wd unfold tlie principles on which a divi t «ion I. the Legislature into two branches is sup seeed, as weU as to point out Uie intended con slilational character of the Senate, would lead jfi iato disquisitions, for which, only the political icholarhc* afastc. Wo therefore, for the pro- — sent, will confine ourselves to tho subject of B cosomv alone. The Senate consists of seventy-six persons. This is one Senator to each county. If the Le- I gislature sits tbirtt days, the per diem pay of the Senate will be $9,180. If it sits forty days, (which is about the average length of all past Sessions) its per diem p/fy will bo, $18,160. In addition to these sums, the travelling pay at $lO per member, would be $760: thus making the pay alone, in one case, $9,880 —in the other, $12,920. But if the Senate bo reduced, by the adoption of Senatorial Districts, to thirty, or thirty-two members, tho expense of its ses sion for thirty days, would not exceed S4,IG0 — and its expense for a session of forty days, would not exceed $5,440: —thus retrenching the expenses of tho Senate, in one. case, $5,790; and in tlie other case, $7,480. , But it is said, le* the comnostb.%l , at id lY House Well! we will go through, on paper, the proces# of reduction. The House of Representatives is now compo . sed of 140. If each county must have a Sena tor, wo presume each county must likewise, have one Representative at least. We should thus have 70 Representatives, at tho very small est e.stimatq. A session of Thirty days would coat, (making-the estimate the same with that above, in regard to tlie Senate) s9,Bßo—and a session of Forty days, $12,160. Tho expense of both bodies, would thus bo, for a session of Thirty days, sl9,ooo—for a session of Forty days, $25,080. But in this way, tho great ine quality, Which is now complained of in tho repre sentation of the counties, would bo continued, with groat aggravation. To what extent, then, can the House of Representatives alone, bo re duced, and the legislative expenses bo brought to tho standard of Economy! If Twenty be takKi from the present number, the House would consist of 120 members. This Reduction of the House, would save, on a ses sion of Thirty days, (including .per diem and travelling pay,) $2,000 —on a session of Forty days, $0,400. The per diem and travelling pay of 120 •members, tor a session of Thirty ! days, ■ would ()o 15,600 —for a session of Forty d«ys $20,400. If tho House be reduced to one hundred members, tho sums that would be saved by the reduction, would bo, on a session of' Thirty days, $5,200—0n i session of Forty , days, $6,800. Tlie per diem and travelling .pay of 100 members, for Thirty claysJwould V 1513,00 $13,000 —and for Forty days, Would a retrenchment of tho Legislative! expense, to tho extent last stated, bo an object worth tlie trouble of attainment! But if tho reduction be carried on to throe-nqvftrflis of tho present nura- Jjjjr of the bo, uu a session of Thirty pays $7,800, and on a session, of Forty days, SIO,BOO 1 And at this point, the old grievance, of unequal representa tion would rise, staro us in the face, and mock the abortion, which disappointed the hopes cn. tertained of a Reduction! 11 If tho Senate is not to ho reduced, and each county is likewise to have at least one Representative, it is true Uiat this arrangement would reduce our legislative expenses about one half; nor indeed to that— but rather only two-fifths. If Senatorial districts are not to be adopted, shall Representative dis* tricts bo established! The people would revolt at this. If one branch of the Legislature ought to be smaller than the other, and bo composed of members of higher qualifications than those fixed for the members of tho other, would it not - seem, that the Senate should bo the smaller, and tho more dignified! Would it not seem, and so accord with all our experience, that a House of Representatives more immediately and.dircclly represents the people, and should, therefore, bo the more numerous? Convinced that a Reduction of the Senate is equally as necessary as a Reduction of the Housa, wo shall, in our next, sqbmit to public scrutiny, a scheme of Senatorial districts, prefixing there to, a summary of tlie considerations and princi ples on which it is formed, with tlie objects pro posed to bo attained by it.* AMLS. » ii, nil (he cstimnlcs of expend? which we. have ntnlwl, \\c have oiniuc'l any mention of continffuni ofn Icaiflhii.vc They «M«-n <U I short of «!«.- 000.

C The leading features of this address, sir, , ball be to answer some of the objections urged against Temperance Societies; and before 1 proceed, allow me, in no spirit of vanity, to call upon our members .and friends, to hold fast to the truths which they have already espoused, lest at any time, they should let them slip ; and to invoke a spirit of inquiry to fasten upon the minds of those who oppose Temperance Socie ties. until at least, they be that, their opposition , docs not origiqfatm/sm? selfish motives.

Do not, by such re* marks, uncork the bottle, perhaps to your own dear hall* and thereby add another brand to the burning. If you cannot go with us yourself, wo ask the dim ity of your silence; wc ask you to tost our principles by experience, and to judge of our usefulness by oui success; yet remember, be that is not tor us, is against us. But, sir, wc arc told tluit’thc members of Temperance Societies arc arrogant in this, “(hat no man, or set < f men, have a right, legal or divine, to set themselves up as the guardians of others, without their consent or request.” Now, for one, 1 have not understood that ibis, or any other Society, has sent out its officers into the streets and highways, and compelled the pcoplg to come in and enter heir lists. 1 liavf not heard, as yet, (bat those Socictiesjtfavc attempted to dictate 0 any man, and in (ho-plenitude of their power, said “thusfar shall thou go and no farther.” No, sir, such powers have not been assumed, nor nidi doctrines udvo -1 ated. Wc hold up a different flag, and teach different principles. Wo rail upon our neighbors and friends, as (hey love themselves, as they would lift, the feet of their sous and their daughters out of the mire and clay, and place them upon the rock; as they would snatch them from the jaws of misery and beggary; as they woulcT tear dow n the strong holds of rat an; as they would make “Vice, in her wild career, stand appalled;” as they would wipe ofi'tlie covering from the mirror of Truth, and pre sent Virtue in her primitive character; and as they would “ cease to evil, and learn to do wise,” “ and flee the wrath to come, wc a«k them to join with us. Wo call upon them, by the sacred principles of our most Holy Religion, to lend their influence against this Mammoth destroyer. We call upon thom, for the preservation of our al most inimitable and boasted Institutions, to aid us in hedging up the ways of this merciless desolater, and worse than destroyer. Wc hope to lay such an ample, and let our light so shine. thaV Min ers, seeing our good works, Con strained to follow. I V; These, sir, are the weapons, of ouf war fare ; this is the arrogance of ojr Tcwper ance Societies; and this sir, is'“thehead and front of our offending .” ' v We do not attempt to enforce ouT^SWe- 1 ciples by the sword, Wc do not accompany our recommendations with menaces er ■ threats. We lay violent hands on non*, not even on our Children or our Wc, arc not governed, in our regulatodßl by the absolute dictums of some tyran nical law-giver, or the whims, caprices or nods, of a favorite few. No, sir, al! and each of our members, have equal and cor responding privileges; and yet, we are call ed “arrogant.” May I not, in the lan guage of a celebrated Roman orator, say, “O/i the times! oh the customs!'’ Were our Fathers guilty of arrogance, when they assembled together on this day, fifty-four years ago, to untie* the knot of 1 British Tyranny, and finally, “pledged their lives, (heir fortunes, and their sacred honor,” to preserve, defend and support this Government'! Were the founders of our benevolent and charitable institutions, to meliorate the condition of mankind and . to mitigatory, vUr, )rs of suffering humanity, ; arrogance? —or were the A))qs p together in Church discipline ? No, sir, i the triumphant success of all those efforts, revoaldftic smiling approbation of the Croat I Am. The groans and sufferings of thou ■ sands relieved, rise up as witnesses to cheer the philanthropist in his glorious undertak-" : ing«. ‘ . Mr. President, if I know any thing of the : objects of Temperance Societies, they aim 1 at nothing but to be humble co-workers with oilier Institutions, to stop the widen ing progress of misery and woe, among the children of men. Lotus, then, not bo i dheouroged by these rivilings and taunts. ; Let ns say to our enemies, if we be not cf ’ God, your assistance will not be required i to tut us down, for fall we must; butifwc be doing that winch is our reasonable duty, miller the direction of our Heavenly ha . thcr, take heed how .you* oppose i agee Societies, lest at any time-gyrt migfl . lit found fighting agaiusM 'rti. s>ir, ano ■ jfcher objection Temperance > ji femtic?q IV-.Mwftti'such pledges are wholly unnecessary, for if we are unable to ab- i stoWav ithout, wc cannot do so with such restrictions.” Upon (ho same principles, Mr. .Presi de it, you might tear down the sceptre of Ulw ,jnd Government amongst us, and al lrw '‘lawless misrule to lord it wide;” you iftighj say to your officers, render up your and return to private life, for join;-legislation is vain, and your public, ficteWe but curses and scourges upon the people; you might scatter to the four winds, or cow ume your constitutions, public re cords, and charters, and you might bury , vonr hoards ofTrcasure, and establish uni versal anarchy. ' ■Agaip, sir, if these pledges be > useless, you might throw off tho reins of Church ‘ Government, and say so each member, yoiv'hu' e %(to long been tyrannized over, 'fiM i*mry.,.c :i.rn '.JuVC 1 ryou '■aiiiiot with them. And yet, in the Holy Pjo/c, we find this thing commanded by our Saviour, while on earth—directed and advocated, almost without ceasing by bis inspired Apostles —and practiced and adhered to ever since, by the best, the most wise, and most pious men, flic world liaq known. Look around, and see the sa lutary effects of (his meeting together; how does it inspire the hike-warm saint, whose religious feelings arc almost smothered by worldly care! Piety springs afresh in his soul; he receives yi a good soil, and with Happy effects, the manna from his heaven ly master. The glories of the upper world, now stand in bold relief before his enrap tured anticipations; he flings down bis sluggish and toilsome load, and counts all things as naught for his Lord and Saviour. He now meets his neighbour, with a prayer for his errors, and a benediction for bis soul. The holy ardour of big life, and (he heavenly glow of his soul, all speak of his destination to that “house above, not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.” Hu vo you not seen the way-worn Pil grim, upon whose eyelids death bud al most jdmitcd bis footsteps, and (hc’wintcr of whose age hud bleached his !o ks, melt into tears before the religious fervor-of a worshiping congregation? Have you not seen Ids dim eye lighted up, beaming with im'versal love, while the fulness ofhissoti! we.s poured Ruth in the most fervent spp plications for his neighbors and friends? Have you not seen this devotion accumu late, until a whole congregation has yielded to its irresistible influence? Yes, sir, by milting together in this Church capacity, ypu have seen the proudest sinner yield up his pride and infidelity, and tremblingly ac knowledge that the Lord was God indeed. Air. President, n revolution cannot be ‘ 'e-'aTfteJ, Kt.r l>y unity of action and unity of ventin'cut. The subject upon which I now address you, is a full illustration of this prin ciple. Kven (he faithful heralds of the .Cross have faiWUn work of death [amongst Us', iTTe horrid princlpins*rfii , irt-nd i intoxication which are daily seen in our Streets, have failed to turn the current of this surgikg gulph-strcam, and the purity of the Church has failed to blunt the sting of this poisoner; for even within its pales, lias it slay/Lits thousands. Then, sir, is this concert useless, and arc these pledges and r ytolutioas of no avail? If, indeed, they , Should prbvc so at first, Mr. President, let inis resolve and repledgc again and again; ? n f | If pH should be ineffectual, then lot us ’ solemnly swear to abstain, for, sir, unless there be something to check the use of ar dent spirits 4n the U. States, it is my hum ble opinion, that her days will be but few, and that short existence most wretched.—| And this meeting together pledges, lias not only th® ftf each other with i/d giving the haps might otherwise slumber forever. — Think you that the American Independence would have- been achieved, without meet ing together to deliberate? Think you that (lie Bible would now have been the sweet messenger of peace to so large a portion of (ho benighted world, had not societies been formed for such objects?—-Think you that the people of Christ would now possess the influence, moral and religious, which they do, if Church Government and Socie ties had never been established. No, sir. though every man in the then colonies, had felt that he was oppressed —though liililes might always have been as numer ous as they now are, and though religion might always have found advocates iu the world, without this unity of action, —with- out. this concert and working together, these tilings could not have been aoconi* ■ pn«wfc. ; . > “r —“t- ' 1 Mr. President, this part of my subject can bo well illustrated by reference to a fable, the moral of which si clearly de ducible from the facts. It was the dying admonition of a father, to his family of " contentious sons, to whom ho presented a bundle of sticks, closely bound together, with a request that each in his (urn should break it, neither of whom could effect if; but when he had untied and seperated them, the tusk was easy. Now, without this con cert, we can effect nothing, but when we unite together, bound by the same laudable desire, and actuated by flic same motives^ 1 we shall be enabled to yilhstond the of public prejudice, and the !’ n * i vale railery. But, not left alto sethor to till*- of reasoning, and specu latioF- idr (lie establishment nl this truth, ' rand for the confutation of this objection. 1 Lot facts bo hear* l in this controversy.— f VVJmt have the Temperance Societies al- < ready done? Many, many are the living ex ample* which trumpet-tongued proclaim the glorious consequences of these little Institu tions! Our own County, is not loft with out witnesses. I will not stop to enumer ate, or to enter into statistical calculations. These you may find in almost every Jour nal and Periodical which floats in your public mail-bags. Then, to your fellow citizens, who think you will not bo pro fited yourself, or benefit your neighbor, by joining a Temperance Society, take heed icst your min mid misery should oneday, thunder in your ears, that “you knew your fluty, but you did it not.” Another objection to joining Temper ance Societies, is, that “by entering your name as a member, you thereby acknow ledge to tho world that you are a drunk ard.” By tho same course of reasoning y6u are brought to the conclusion, that all who do not join are sober men, or that 1 I ThT assertion pro \ lositions, seems to mo to be illiberal, j ym, in the abstract, vvholy untrue. A inibscripbod is presented for your name, v. itJi tho amount which you are willing to pay for building a Church. No soo-ior is your name down, than your astonished neighbour remarks, that he never knew you were opposed to religion before.— Would such a conclusion be just. Yet glaringly irreconcilable, and foolishly in consistent as it is, it cannot be more so than the former. No, the very act of sub set ibing your name, ns a member, is evi dence to tjie world, that you love and that you consider a drunkard nn ilic most unfortunate and miserable ot'beings; and that you will contribute, in whatever prudence may dictate, to avert his miseries and turn aside his calamities from your children and neighbours. But,-sir, 1 would that all ihc drunkards could work up their courage to the sticking point, in hones ty, so ns to acknowledge publicly, or even privately, their besCttii g sin; we might, un ■fc-r such a sense of their situation, still hope tor ihcir restoration; wc might still flatter ourselves that they had not sold their happi ness and their lives for a bottle of liquor. But, while they scrupulously dispute cve .y inch of ground occupied by the friends . of Temperance, and construe every resoJj luiion they pats, into infringements mdividiiiil rights, we most-awiiilly foorjflH lin y arc given over to a “hardnessofjflH end vi probacy of mind,” at Jeast somHH regards drunkenness. flH| Hut, says tho objector “if your does lot amount to an acknowlodgtHHj ll.st vou are a drunkard, you will not but i: is evidence that you arc fcmfullgJ^B will bc< o.Tic so.” I for one, am not ed to c< knowledge, thatifl weretojwlfcM rlt'i every day, 1 might have oi’d', i a ili-uukartk Human nature is i* i, i* -. ! it is :■ iuful *vlf , hH I . not ,411,rw- I < -111 pi.! t IV, (41! 011 p'lll i H 4-H h>sv > g ■ii - < 1 i V. o' “ 1 m'U' - ■! be e ' ’ C : f r. * pi.. 11, yet 'lf ! a.-, w.t lv - * v ;. y' v ,:n < -.

Tell me not, then, young man, that there is no necessity for your joining a Temper ance (Society—because you do not yet drink. You are the proper person to unite with ur.
