The following ore extracts from *“ r ^ Jdrc “
delivered before the Charlestown Temper-
nncc Society, January,4831. by Thomas <1.
* Tl ^l difference ]»-
’tween «?xc«ss in eating* anil in <hc drinking
t! f distilled or fermented liquors, is marked by
•the following* among other lines of. distinct*
(ion. The one is the abate of a good thing*
and the other is the use of a bad ' thing. In
the former ease w6Tnkft too much food, in the
latter cose we swallow more or less poison.—
Aliment should bo riiioetl with moderation—
alcohol, however mixed, disguised, diluted, or
-Bompniraded, should not he taken at all.
hiUmiieranee, a foe to freedom.—A not 1* a
alavc loan appetite which uses him with more
cmfiUv.’limn ever an Algerine task master
mntiilWod w .a miserable captive. ,In the
first place, the mon.ter Vice, strips its victim
<.f liis iiropcrty. Secondly, Iiis character and
reputation are sacrificed to the insatiable |»ow-
er, in whoso mannnlcavuc is bound; He >*
tlien scourged by disease, stimulated into the
commission of crime, and forced to do the
'fimlcst work of-tho.fmil fiend that possesses
liiin, without fee or reward, thus realizing to
their utmost extent the truth of- the -sacred
adages, “the way of the transgressor is hard
and "tho wages of sin'is death." His right
ol salfigge, nnd every other privilege to winch
he is entitled-ns tile citizen of a free govern
ment,are too often bartered away for means
■ of purchasing liquid fire, to keep tip tiie com
bustion which is consuming him. Ho soon
looses all sense of jmliticai integrity, u* wolL
as private honesty, nnd personal dignity ;and
sinks below the lov'cl ofii brute, ntlliciod witii
thOCpnsciotiHncss, iliat lie deserves no higher
station than the bottom of the nbyss into
which lie lias lullcu. In troth, the man Who
is a sVavo to strong liquor, cannot be consul
ered as liis own master, and is not always a
rational being. And should a majority of
rite freemen of it tuition become intemperate,
they will tint only bo unfit for self-govern
ment, but tile sooner they como under the
e.tmtro} of an ubsolute monarch; the better; for
tiie samo reason iliat ilia better for wild beasts
to bo chained, than to go nt largo.
The count of Domestic Misery.—The dd
nieslic misery whieli is caused by intoxicating
liquors, is hitler and hopoless beyond pnrallc
or deseiiniion. The wives, children and
friends of intemperate men* are placed in a
munition on some accounts even more deplo
rable than iliat of thq drunkard himself; Tiie
vicc'-to which lie is addicted, deadens liis feet
ings, nnd lie becomes, in n grout-measure, ill
aotuibio to the misery lie inflicts und endures,
lie is like n mortified limb, which Jills ( eased
tube painful, on iiecminf of gangrene. -When
tiie bead of it fninily inateuu of being its sup
port, and urtigiiipiit, becomes its incumbrance
and disgrace, the. members ure mueli more
imfortnnute, nnd mncli tnoro wortliy of com-
■ lniseraiion, titan those wliom dcatii lias left
dcstiluto of parents uud near relatives. Tod
often are they induced, mid almost compelled
io»follow hlB example, and to drown-in the
boWI of intetnperqncp tiie anxiety, sharno uud
regret, w ith which, ns soliur, rational livings,
liicy must contemplate (lie pattern of ileprpv-
Mto whom they .are hound .by ties vvlileli
ulTeutiou should hold dear, mid virtue should
consecrate. Tile wile of a confirmed irro
claimable drunkard is indeed doomed ti
liuiurn without hopo nnd to sillier without al
leviation, Blie is subjected to n destiny inure
toiie deprecated, by u- woman of sense mid
ti morpilcss superstition. Vivid sketches of
the horrors of siteli mi allotment lmvo boon
•often dratvn by the pencil of genius, hilt no
IHirtruituru cun give an adequate idea of the
dreadful reality. Hound by the ties of nmlri-
uu,uial fenlty, to "lovb honor uudobey" a be-

The intemperatei Ternalc.—Wo feel It in
cumbent on us to observe, nml ivc regret that

■Bisters and Mothers.—There arc tick
which, like tho invisible tics of conscience,'
bind man to Ibo world witii kindlier nllcction
and arc the last, tiling* forgotten when one
leaves life. Tho married situation may be
one of puro and uninterrnped felicity; there
may be no cloud in its whole happy horizon;
1t may be ever sunny, and flowers spring tip
in every season of life. Hut even these hap
py ones, who are in this clime of bliss, remem
ber long and late the clnifus of n sister or n
mother to their Isrsl aflections. In tiie life ot
die solitary and single, those who are said to
lie doomed to an ennui loneliness, tiie claims of
a sister nud n mother should hold strongly,
not only upon their feelings hut duties.—
Those kindnesses which men bestow upon
tlielr oitsnniig and their wives, who. possess
them, and in them concentrate their best af
fection*, are given by the unmarried ui those
whqbcnr to them these sacred relations-. In
loving n sister there is none of that eartliliness
of passion which degrades tile heart—in the
devotion- due to a mother comes none of'thr
Selfishness of men. Tiie feelingR inspired by

Tho following sensible remarks vVo extract
from that print:
Mueli has been said of late about the corrup
tion pf tho American press, nnd its subservi
ency to individuals, or parties. This evil the
oxistonco or which cannot bo denied, is nttrib-
ntublc, not to tiio baso dispositions, but to tho
necessities of those who onward conduct it.
Editors aro net worse' than other men. In
general, they have rocoivod liberal educations,
anil liayo been taught to cultivate tho nobler
virtues, and to cherish feelings of Indepen
dence. Wlinii, thereforo, they first enter up
on llio discharge of their dutios, it is with-a de
termination to speak, on' all occasions, the
truth, tho whole trulli and notliing but thd
truth. Difficulties however soon crowd upon
litem, nnd they nro surrounded with tempta
tions. They desire of course; to reeoivo tlio
approbation (or their labor,'but having , to
write upon n great variety of subjects, they
shoo discover, if they express their opinions
fully nud fearlessly; thrit tlioy Imve givbn of-
fcnco to some upon ono subject and tn others
upon nnulhcr. Discontinuances become fre
quent, and ruin stares them in tho face.
TUb'lo who nro honest, abandon the business
in despair, or confine their, remarks to n fow
subjects, itpon which thoir readers' are known
to agree. Upon moral.and religious subjects
tinii a" groat variety of political questions of
local character, they dare not express an opin
ion! Thus the press cither falls' into the hands
of the slaves of avarice, and tho tools of ambi
tions politicians, or is chained down to a few
plain subjects. Iu tho first caso its influence
is pernicious—in' the last, it is deprived of a
portion of its usefulness, and assumes ncccSsu-
rnlly a party aspect.
Ii'ihcn, tho'people would have tm indepen
dent press—a press free from corruption and
mon-worship, tliey must let the reform-begin
among themselves. They must tolerate those
who differ witii them iu opinion. They must
nut require editors to ttgreo with them upon all
subjects. Above afi they must encourage
such as oppose those who aro in power, and
linvo offices to bestow—such ds exposo the
designs of leaders of factions.
• Iftiioy would have a press comluctod with
ability, they must .extend to it such a liberal
support, its'will induce men of talents andin-
formation to take charge of it.
A short time ago tvro gentlemen, residents
at Bolton, came to attend tho Liverpool mar
ket. On-their.return to Bplton, by the rail
way, they got into the samo carriage, and laid
down very comfortably intake a nap. When
tiio train arrived at the Bolton station tho
guard (who seems not to lmvo been aware of
these two passengers) looked nt tho carriage,
nnd not seeing any heads, fancied tliat it was'
empty, and thinking thero was no'.uso in car
rying un empty .enrriago back to Bolton, di
rected thut it should be put up. Accordingly
it wad locked up in mi oiitliousc, and the train
proceeded to Holton. About six in tho eve
ning tho trdvcllcra awoke and called tho
guard. There was no response. “ How very
last we aro going!" said one of them. “Ay,”
replied tho other, “ the speed is so great that
we don't feel the morion of the vehicle !
Wlmt a wonderful conveyance this,railroad
is!!” _ Accordingly, they again went to sleep,
and did not wake until nine at night. By
this time it wns dark, and suspecting that
there was some mistake, they loudly called
for help,‘and, after bawling half nn hour,
succtedcd in obtaining release,—York Coup.

New Yens, July Sl 1831.-
1 had intended to write to you a long letter,
on tho subject of the late Riots in this city,
but have been so much occupied, that 1 liavc
not. found a leisure hour to dp so, and as I
start for Saratoga in about hair a n hour, I
.can now only say a few word*, which, how-'
ovor, I think it important to do, that our pen-
plo nt the South may -not be deceived as to tiie
truo causes of ’tho hue disturbances, here. ■ Of
these disturbances, a great handle will; no
doubt, be mndo by. tho Tories, as being ri
strong evidence tliat llio people of.the North
are iu reality friendly to the continuance of-
our institmidris of the South, or nt least op
posed to any direct or immediate interference
thcrew'ith—Whereas it is perfectly evident to
cycry reflecting mind here, that tho doctrines
ofTho Amnlgmhaiionists which they began
lately'to preach and act upon more broa’clly
and openly than heretofore, only-presented an
occasion for the exhibition of a long, latent ha
tred and jealousy on tho part of tho lowest
orders in this City, to tliat • race of people, on
account of their-being extensively employed
as house servants and tradesmen, to the exclu
sion of many of their own order. Tho fact is
that the tow Irish and other low and ignorant
people, of whom these mobs wero composed,
fenow'as little, and care as littllo about tho ab
stract question of emancipation, as they do-a-
bout the Scicnco of.Astronomy, nnd so far
from objecting to emancipation at the Boat);,
tliey would heartily rejoice in it, provided the
result shontd.not be any addition to the num
ber of operatives at the North, nor any inter
ference with tiieir - ordinary employment.—
That this is the truo stato of the case, I think
thero cannot-be the slightest doubt, for, ou the
occasion of tho late Riots, although the mobs
at first assailed the’ dwellings of those -who
preached up and practised Amalgamation,
tliey yet chiefly expended their wrath and ha
tred upon tho persons,- dwellings and property
of the Negroes themselves. From this fact
and others, tiieir real ' motives and objects
have been rendered perfectly clear and obvi
ous,”
diug sword in lmml, a snrrender of the land of j
promise. Affuirs lmve reached a fearful cris-/
is; and unless a compromise can be affected,
blood will bo shed. These evils lmve sprung
from intolerance. ■ The constitution guar an- -
teeing tho liberty of conscience, tho people of
Jackson had no right to dist urb the Mormons,
while conducting themselves in a- peaceable
maimer. To quarrel with men for holding a
different faith from us is no less unreasonable
than to bo angry with them, for having fea
tures unlike otir own.
