ADDRESS OF SENATOR YATES.
We publish below, the address recently
delivered in Washington City, by Sen
ator Yates, of Illinois, at a Temperance
Meeting held in the Hall of the House
of Representatives, which has attracted
general notice from the press of the
North and West:
Lames axd Gentlemen’: It was not
my intention to address you at all until
this afternoon, and I feel the need of
more preparation before speaking to so
large an audience as this. The reason
why I did not propose to address this
isssmbly was because having so recently
associated myself with the Congressional
Temperance Association, I did not like
to make a parade of myself before the
public. Men sometimes sign pledges,
aud they break them ; but, Mr. Presi
dent, I have signed for good, [applause]
and I have made my covenant with God
that I will keep mine. But I felt it
were better to prove first that I was
well established in my new position
before I attempted to express senti
ments on this question in that earnest
and enthusiastic manner, in which I
always addressed my fellow citizens in
behalf of any cause which has the con
viction of my judgement aud the appro
val of my heart.
Some two months ago your distin
guished chairman, the able and eloquent
Senator from Massachusetts, in his
kindness, in the goodness of his great
big heart, came to me with a petition
numerously signed hv members of Con
gress and said : “Governor, I want you
to sign a call’for a temperance meet
ing.” “With all my heart,” said I. I
signed it. But the temperance meeting
did not come off. I became impatient.
I went to the honorable Senator and
told him I was tired of waiting; could
he not furnish me a pledge ? He said
he could to-morrow. The next day he
furnished me with a printed pledge of
the Congressional Temperance Society.
I put it in my pocket, took it home, took
it to my room, read it earefully, and,
alter one look to God and one to home,
I signed the pledge. I raised myself to
my full height and 1 was free. [Great
applause.] If I refer to myself in the
remarks I have made, and which I in
tend to make, I assure you it is not from
egotism, for I take no peculiar pride
myself in having been addicted to the
use of ardent spirits. But there is
another reason why I feel permitted to
refer to myself, and that is, because while
I have considered that I was only a mod
erate drinker it has been published all
over the land that I was a drunkard.
Fellow citizens, there was sortie truth
in this, and there was a vast deal of
error in it too. I was addicted to drink
ing occasionally as a stimulus, as I
supposed to strengthen my nerves
[laughter] and as a heightener of social
joys, liut, Mr. Chairman, differently
from other men, I had a most unfortu
nate difficulty with myself, and that was
I had a wonderful facility, whenever I
drank, of letting everybody know it.
[Laughter.] My sprees were not fre
quent, but they were long and they were
loud. [Laughter.] The great prairies
ot Illinois did not furnish acres enough
fir one ot mv forward movements.
[Laughter.] That was not only the
t .se, but whatever I have done for the
last seventeen years —whether I had to
make a speech to a political meeting;
whether I spoke against the Nebraska
hill upon the floor of this House; whether
as Governor, I wrote a message, or pub
lished a proclamation, or prorogued a
secession legislature, [great upplause,]
the universal charge of the opposite
pirty was, that all these acts wore done
wider the influence of whiskey. [Laugb
i fellow citizens, f have eon
Guded to put a stop to this matter. The

would do the same thing, you would lose
nothing in mind, body or estate.
I Laughter.]
Fnllow-citisens : It may seem strange,
but I would, as 1 feel now, as soon
drink fire from hell as whiskey, for it is
hell mid damnation too. It destroys the
health, and mars tiic beauty of the body;
it can bow down to earth the most giant
intellect, and make it weak as that of a
child. It demoralizes and it annifcifale&the
immortal soul. It makes a man forget
his children or the wife of his bosom,
aud treat them with harsh unkindness
aud barbarity, and even tnorder them.
Cnnffected by interoperanco he would
peril his life for that wife of his love;
he would dive into the ocean's depths,
face the cannon’s mouth, or peril his
life amid the flames of the burning
dwelling to snatch from death his dar
ting babe.
I do not suppose at all that I am su
perior to anybody else in intellect. I
certainly have no special claims te con
sideration from birth or fortune ; but
there is one thing I do claim, and that
is, that God has endowed me with no
liility of soul, with warm and generous
impulses—a heart as unfathomable as
in its affections as the ocean, and as
broad as the area of humanity, and I
appeal to you, Mr. Chairman, from oui
slight acquaintance, if yon do not think
I have enough of the ardent about me
without a)dent spirits. [Laughter.]
Mr. Wilson. Yes; You have.
Mr. Yates. I would say to the young
men that grandeur of human character
does not consist of transceudent genius
alone. It does not belong alone to the
statesman beneath whose eloquent c
listening Senates sit enraptured ; it does
not belong alone to the warrior who
bears his proud, uncouquered banner
over every field; but it does consist in
force of character, in force of soul, feel
ing, thought, and purpose. Caesar was
a weak man when he sacrificed the lib
erties of Rome by suffering Mark Antony
to put the crown upon his bead. Wash
ington would not have been great if he
had yielded to the temptations of his
willing army and accepted a crown at
the expense of the liberties of his country.
The reformed drunkard accomplishes a
more heroic achievement than did the
Spartan band at Thermopylae, because
he conquers himself. Thai muu is only
great who. seeks right, and truth, and
justice, and adheres to them with strong,
vigorous, and perpetual purpose.
As to.the effects upon the nation, Mr.
Jefferson said, many years ago, that—
“ The habit of using alcoholic liquors by
men in office has created more injury to the
public service and given ntoro trouble to me
than any other circumstance which has oc
curred in the internal concerns of the coun
try during my administration. If I had to
commence my administration again with the
knowledge I have frutu experi-uce derived,
the first, question which I would ask from a
candidate for public favor would be, is he
addicted to the use of ardent spirits.”
The man who is to legislate for a great
country, to help make laws and consti
tutions Involving the destinies of mil
lions of human beiugs. ought to be a
man of reflection, moral principle, in
tegrity, and, above all, a sober man.
[Applause.] Go into your legislative
halls, State apd National, and behold
the drunkard staggering to his seat or
sleeping tit his post, and ask yourself the
question whether he is not more fit to
be called a monument of his country's
shame than the representative of free
men ? Would it not be most fearful to
contemplate that ill fated epoch in the
history of our country when the demon
of intemperance shall come into our
legislative halls without shame, remorse
or rebuke; when he shall sit upon
juries, upon the bench, and drunkenness
run riot among the people. Who then
will protect the ship of State upon this
inaddepitig tide; who will steer her in
her onward course amid the dashing
billows; who spread her starry flag to
the free, fresh, wild winds of Heaven ?
Watchman, whaf of the night? We
have been engaged in a mighty revolu
tion. Your army and navy have car
ried your arms under Grant and Banks
against the Gibralters of the Missis
sippi, and opened that stream from its
source to its mouth, Under the gallant
Joe tidoker, your troops scaled the
heights, and above the clouds unfurled
to the sun the glorious flag of the stars.
[Applause.] Sherman marches from
Cairo to the sea, while Grant marches
through the wilderness to the Confede
rate capital. The rebellion is crushed.
Behold! a whole race set free—the
shackles of the ages are broken, and
we see full high advanced the standard
of she nation's redemption. Hark!
dinna ye hear the pibroch of the High
landers, and borne upon the wings of
the wind tha slogan shout of universal
emancipation. [Applause.]
And now shall this puissant nation,
“Columbia, queen of the world aud
child of the skies,” pause in their efforts
when there is an enemy in onr
land more destructive than war
pestilence, and famine com
bined, which sends annually one hun
dred thousand men to untimely graves,
makes fifty thousands widows and three
hundred thousand wives worse than
wkiows-—filling our prisons, onr poor
houses, our lunatic asylums, and swell
ing to an untold extent the great ocean
of human misery, wretchedness, and
woe ?
Somebody (old me he saw in a Chica
go paper the other day that since Oov.
Yates had joined the temperance society
whiskey had fallen ten cents a gallon.
[Laughter.] Well, that’s good, indeed.
[Laughter.] At all events, it’s good
news, tor all that ever kept my slander
ers from drinking themselves to death
pro bono publico wns the high price of
whiskey. [Laughter.] We will bring
it within their reach, for it will have to
fall much lower than the present price
before it reaches its real intrinsic value
—a specie basis. [Laughter.] Mr.
President, if old King Alcohol were
dead and buried, as lie ought to be,
beyond the power of resurrection, this
nation could bear otir national debt like
a young Hercules. [Applause.] Then,
sir, two blados of grass would grow
where one now grows, and unbounded
wealth, imperial power, and proud posi
tion, would be the heritage of the nation
forever. [Applause.]
But some say this temperance busi
ness is fanaticism—it’s a gloomy sort
of life. There never was a greater
mistake. Temperance is one of the
sweetest and most delightful fhiugs
upon earth I it is the very springhead
ol cheerfulness, happiness, and joy—
the very chivalry of manhood itself. I
have been a temperance man for iilteen
days, and I am a gayer boy to-night
i l “ an I have been for seventeen years.
AUGUSTA, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, 1867.
[Laughter.] I (hlhlt I am the'gayest
man in the Senate, except the compeer
of Clayand Crittenden—the able, indom-
Upbla and gallant pld cavalier of Ken
tucky, Garrett Davis. I except you,
alzo, Mr. Chairman. [Laughter.] Tern
perance gloomy ? Not a bit of it, Mr.
President. My pledge shall be a per
petual charm—“a thing of beauty
which is a joy forever”—not a cloud of
gloom, hot no ever present rainbow of
promise, hope, and beauty. I am as
proud of it as of my wife and children,
and that is the strongeit way I have to
express ntv pride. [Applause.] I am
as prond of itaS I am of the commission
which entitles me to hold the position
of an American Senator. By-the-by,
Mr. Chairman, I will submit to you the
question : I rather think the commis
sion and the temperance pledge ought
to go together. [Applause.] What do
you think about having “the teetotaller"
put into the iron clad oath? [Laugh
ter.]
\ou say, of what use is the pledge ?
I will tell you : Twenty years ago there
came along a friend of ntitte—a Senator
—and said, “Let us take a drink.’’ 1
said, “Certainly, all right.” . Another
friend from Illinois in about three min
utes and a half came along and said,
“Let us fake a drink.” Said 1, “All
right.” It is this way. One drink of
liquor is enough for me; two ain’t half
enough, [laughter;] three is only one
third enough, and four is chaos. After
I signed the pledge I was asked several
times to drink ; but I didn't do any such
thing. [Laughter.]
After I signed this temperance pledge
I wrote to a little lady ont in Illinois,
who weighs about a hundred pounds,
has black hair and flashing black eyes,
and a “form fairer than Grecian chisel
ever woke from Parisian marble,” and
I received the following answer :
Mr Dkak Richard: How beautiful is this
morning; how beautiful the sun shines;
how sweetly our birds sing; how joyous the
ohildren ; how happy is my heart. I see
the smite of Hod. Ho has answered the
prayer. Always proud to hear of your sue
cess, you have uow achieved that success
which God and angels will bless. It is
the shining summit of human aspiration,
for you have conquered yourself. All who
love you will aid you to keep the pledge. I
love you my dear buy. Katie.
Love, the sun, soil, and eeutre of the moral
Universe ;
Love, which links angel to angel, and God
to man ;
Love, which binds in one two loving hearts.
How beautilul is love ! [Applause.]
As I look over this audience, com
posed of Senators and Representatives of
this great nation, and these galleries
blazing with beauty and the worth of
the city, and sojourners from all the
States and Territories, I ask myself why
they are here? Proud England, upon
whose dominions the sun never sets, has
but one queen ; but, thank God, we
have milliuns of queens who
“Sliino in beauty liko tho night
Os suuny climes and starry skies,”
whose chains we feel, and yet we bless
the silken sceptre. Yoh are here to give
by your presence encouragement to the
Congressional Temperance Society, and
I propose, sir, that this society shall he
the beginning of societies throughout the
laud, and that we will push forward the
temperance column, move upon the
enemy’s works, aud give him canister
and Greek fire. [Applause.] YVe will
storm upon the citadel of intemperance
until it shall .crumble, and totter, and
fall to the earth. [Applause.] Why do 1
refer to the Indies? Because their ex
ample is mightier than the eloquence of
a thousand Senates, or the bauners of a
thousand legions. '
You are here to-night to see the snowy
white flag of temperance as it is un
furled over the Capitol of your country,
asjt rises, and rises, and unfolds to God,
and spreads until it shall cover the
whole land, and until there shall not be
a drunkard, nor a moderate drinker, to
take away the bloom from the cheek ot
female beauty, and until all the hearth
stones of this laud shall blaze with com
fort and joy, and happiness and glad
ness shall dwelt in green freshness there.
