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.

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.
