Kcmcrnher, tlmt thousands of your fel low citizens do not enjoy the privilege of chinch membership, and arc drifting on the surges of an ever-troubled ocean, if your church is n Temperance Society, you will sacrifice nothing in joining one, where nil we allowed its benefits; hut with yonr ve teran habits in sobriety, you ean safely pilot Us through the shoals and quicksands and breakers which threaten on every side.— Hence, we ask fbryour experience; jve ask you for the example of your godly life, and well ordered conversation; and wc ask you for your stern inflexibility and unbounding integrity, to assist us in dislodging an ene my already in the bosom of our country, and whoso battlements extend from shore to shore.

And, sir, if our Christian neighbor will .recollect that the grace of God, which has Ibrtilicd'liis soul, and thrown him above the danger of temptation, will not screen his children from the overwhelming influence of drunkenness, it docs seem to me he would work up to a lively activity mid an ever-abiding zeal upon the subject Tcni Another objection which lias been re lied on by members of the church, is, “that these Temperance Societies will li ‘’hally produce n division in the church.’' Thus argued the antimissionuries, and yet of light from the gospel have of the darkest and *?■>JvVi :% r' ll;hh M'.ecc: , H^nUsgiv- I same feelings; all aim at the same goal; ■ “nothing to drink,” is the watch-word, and sobriety is the blazing star which - serves .as “« cloud hy day and a pillar of t jfre hy night." Yes, sir, upon this sub -8 joct wo may adopt the remark made in re r fereneo to another matter. Wc are all I Baptists—we arc all Methodists—we are I all Presbyterians; and allow me to sapor add, that we may all be sober men. t Another objection is, “that to abstain entirely' from the use of ardent spirits, is not an act of Christian forbearance.”— c Now, sir, according to the same sort of 1 reasoning, a temperate use of spirits, is so i (nr from being unnecessary, that it is abso -5 lately a virtue. Ifyou make this the touch- j - stone and standard by which you measure! , Christian stability and forbearance, all 8 should come to the measurement, and all shoidd pass through the ordeal of thispuri - Tier; and hence, all who do not use spirits, 1 are out of their duty, and ought to be dealt - i with. Mr. President: lam not now prepared ‘ to say that the temperate use of spirits is a ? sin; but, sir, I am much less prepared to ; say that it is a virtue; and, taking it upon i (ho ground that it is no sin, when wc con , eider its deleterious influence upon themor • nls of the community; when wo consider i that it has been one of the sorest curses ■ which has afflicted this, fallen earth—tlmt it has elcithed this laud In mourning, and swept o/f some of our proudest hopes—is it not best, is it not safest, to abstain? But, sir, to tho objection; neither is it a sin to play a game of cards, when there is noth ing wagered, not oven against the law; yet you would hardly recommend to your Christian neighbor, to indulge in this sort of amusement every day, byway of testing his Christian stability; you would hardly tell him, (hat to play was only an act of ehris flati forbearance, and hid him God spec.l.

Mr. President, wc would not wish to he considered forward, or imprudent, in saying i a word to the Church. It is not our intention t to do them injustice or attribute to (hem mi r artificial consequence. No, sir, in the lan- I guage of truth, I speak what I do know; , 1 have felt the force of thoir example, when i yet but a boy. i have seen the venerable i grey-headed Christian, indulge in his fre ) quent drums, at homo and abroad, in tav ■ crus and public places. 1 have seen the < eyes of the grog-shopman sparkle with I pleasure, ns the Christian father'partook • with him; and even the transpierced bo ■ som of (lie wallowing old drunkard, see med to struggle for self gratulation at the apparent gratification of the church mem ber, when be swallowe d his drtim. The enormity of this crime, tuid the odious nossofthc practice, lose half their turpi tude upon the mind of the youth, when found in such company. If perchance an accidental warning were to admonish the are hiA-li cd, and ho is lost. Tell him as a friend, that ho is losing in health, reputation, or property, mid he will at once, point to you, this good old man, who lias been iu the habit of taking bis drink all his life, mu! ask you to see his respectability and pro gress; ho will iel! you that if such and such members of the church, or perhaps preach ers of the gospel, drink, surely he caii be allowed to take bis dram, when he is tired or sick, Ac. Arc, This, sir, is no unreal picture. This, sir, is no speculative chimera, to answer present purposes. No, I put the question to you and to (his res-, peetabhs audience, whether it is not true ? Have yod not heard this plea set up, since the establishment of this society? Have you not seen young men, with a sort of heroic iudeiviulcnce, fling this in the teeth of those who said join our Temperance So ciety? Another objection is, “flint members of tho Temperance Societies, have said more than they ought to have said, or gone too tiir.” Now, sir, 1 shall not pretend to deny, or vindicate, or palliate, any impru dent remarks which may have been made. I have no doubt, but such has been the case, and for might I know, 1 may have the subject of such a remark. For purpose of argument, sav that 1 have. ’ objection to tho list, Baptist, or members were it he believed no Pm, unless he bad i—would this in crcod, or would nsically, to your consider mo as igb the country, or iitipnidPnf fo 's of your church, onduct, or your , sir, wc ask for isk you to mete c that you wpu uv tl Our society pe not ohmoxious ar- BjHteople out of that this when I say, r county; come lability “ witlidut TOfliis part of the hafible individual, ■fend grateful ac -gjn gg sy— g ; out ceasing. Thanks tor your vigilance! And now, sir, the last, though not the i least objection, which I sliall notice, is, that r they love the liquor too well. This is the ■ bone of contention. This, is the mightv,] • the legitimate source, and the Patriarch of I all (heir objections—the chief corner-stone : of all their liars, and the primum mobile of ■ all (heir scruples. ’ __ ■ There arc but few, who are so far lost to i all sense of pride, as candidly to confess it; i but few whose shame would not exert anoth er effort, inflict another pang, ami tinge the 7 check with another blush, at the open ' avowal; but few, who arc so far reconciled to their own disgrace and degradation, us not to revolt at so melancholy a fate; but few whose esteem lor their families, anil love of file, would allow them to bury ali under so heart-rending an acknowledge ment. Still sir, it is true, with many of the objector;. Yes, ’(is the love of whis key, which causes them to ransack the regions of intention, and to torture tiipir in genuities, to find objections to tho Tem perance Societies. It is the love of whiskey, which dries up the streams of benevolence in .their bo soms ; which blunts their sagacities; which scorches the seed of charity, and which blasts the fruit of brotherly ’Tis the love of whiskey, wh.ef, e, ig • nrmsltlie current of .... .

Many of you, no doubt, arc deterred from joining ns, by the fear that yon will be laughed at by your neighbour, os a nicmhei of the Temperance Society: let them laugh, or make fun of you as they will. When you have joined, and become a sober, de creet, respectable young man, that very neighbour who twelve months before, laug hed at you, will now welcome you as au as sociate for his children; and, with double satisfaction, to what he formerly would, w ill give you the baud of his daughter io wedlock. Yes, he will employ you ns an overseer, ns a clerk, as a school-master, or in any other employment, doubly ns soon now, as he would have done before. Be lieve me, the veriest drunkard that lounge.-, in your streets, when he lias business to transact, will always hunt up the sober man. When they laugh at you for joining the Temperance Society, tell them you wish to live and die a sober man. Do not be discouraged from joining with ns, by the fear that our Society will bo but short-lived; wc hope its duration will surpass your fears, and out-livc your predictions. But although it should last but one year, good will have been done. Perhaps one year's total abstinence may conquer the growing cravings of your appetite, and implant on your mind, that course of think ing and sobriety, which sliall characterize your whole life—which shall ho (lie prop and stay of your white-headed old Father and Mother, and redound to yoqr country 's glory!
