A part of the adcress made at the grave of Dr. 13. F. Pearson, of Doieelton, by the Rev. \V. 11. Stokes, on the morning of 2\th April, 1852. In addition to what our order has thought proper 10 adopt by way of cer emony, as suitable on occasions like the present, I brg leave to say a few words. The spot of earth on which we stand has become a peculiarly interesting lo cality —almost sacred. Here sleep the remains of those whom, in life, we loved. These newly made graves tell us in language, not to be misunderstood, that death has made his court in our very midst. There lie the ashes of the beloved Akins, and hard by, repose in silence, the bodies of others, who but recently moved in our ciicle, amid the activities of life, and in the enjoyment of all that makes life desirable. This morning we are assembled to perform for brother Pearson the melancholy ceremonial ol confiding his body to the tomb. Akins and Pearson were bro ther-in-laws—were lovely in their lives, and in death not far divided. A few years ago brother Pearson came amongst us a stranger, lie had I left Sis fatln r-’a id—-tlie scores of his early associations, to make his home in the South. But though a stranger, he was not long friendless, for he deserved friends'. 11 is heart was formed for friendship. Asa physician, untiring in his efforts to alleviate the distresses of the sick ; he, in all probability, fell a victim to the benevolent impulses of his nature. And now his warm heart ceases to beat, his weary limbs are still, and here he lies. Let us drop freely ! our tears upon these clods of earth, now about to conceal him from our view for ever. But super-added to the noble traits of character already referred to, we may safely assert that in our brother were strongly developed the sublime principles of pure religion. Dr. Pear son was a Christian —lived and died a Christian !—triumphed in the last strug gle over “the last enemy,” and his spir it rests with God who gave it. Let us con -?ole ourselves by the reflection that out loss is his gain. Let us imitate his virtues, and aspire to that state of unmingled j felicity into which we trust he has en tered. May these reflections calm the troubled spirit, and bind up the bleed-’ ing heart of her who weeps over the: early grave ofakind husband, and may his little one, happily insensible of his misfortunes, be reared up to cultivate the principles of virtue and piety, so’ the journey of life with him ! tjlmli be closed, lie may rejoin his fa ther in that land of light and love, where .parting is tvo more. Brothers— Sons of Temperance— neighbors—all— the times are pecu liarly alarming. Our friends are fall ing alipos; daily around us. Who will bo the next victim ? At whom will ihe “Insatiate Archer” next hurl his ; latal dart? Whose husband, whose ‘< v i, whose son, whose daughter, will next be summoned to the “narrow house ?” It becomes us to reflect, to ( weep, to pray—to listen to the ad mo- j ! lions of this open grave—to heed the; ! eloquent pleadings of this coffin—to bo 1 affected by the injunction of the Saviour’ |of sinners: “Hi; yo also ready, for ; in such an hour as yc think not the Son of Man cometh.” Micanoiw, May 10th, 1852. Ed. Banner, Dear Sir: —The Mie ! anopy (Fla.) Temperance Society, j through their undesigned committee i ! very respectfully solicit the publica :; I ion, in your paper, of the accompany ing beautiful and able essay on temper. : unoe, read before that body a lew weeks since by Miss Julia Goldsmith, of Long Island, N. V., associated as chairman 1 ; with Miss llarrietta Haseltine, of Stan- i stead, Canada, and Miss Grace Dusliin of Miounopy. The committee take pe culiar pleasure in giving to the world this noble, commendable effort for the. | cause of virtue, and trust it will stimu ! late other young women to emulate the same. Very respecfully, C. M. LIVINGSTON, , G. W. MEANS, > Com. It. A. CHILD. ) ESSAY. Mr. President:—We would offer you our sincere thanks for the compliment I bestowed upon us in soliciting our fee • ble endeavors upon a subject so vast ; and important as that of temperance., ij We also feel that an apology is due 1 you, for the seeming reluotanco mani- ; l fested by us in lending our aid to pro- :’ mote a cause worthy the attention ol; ; the most profound and gigantic intel- i Meet. We humbly crave your pardon; ■ | and assign our reasons to be that ofex ; j treme d.liidence, (which you know Mr. President, characterizes our sex) and . our complete inability to add any new interest to your heretofore interesting meetings. Had we supposed we could \ , have aroused one spark of repentenee i in tho breast of a fallen brother, most willingly would we have acquiesced, i But the untiring perseverance display. : ed in your solicitations has compelled: us to make the effort, and although singly dicouraging, in being preceded by such eloquence and thought, as have been exhibited in vour former meet inns, yet the attempt will, we hope, meet your approbation, and excuse all de fects. To every reflecting mind, it is evi dent that we all exert an influence for good or for evil. How surely it reach es to all around us and subtilly inter mingles where we least expect it. It may touch some chord of another’s soul, that will come in play for years, ; but which in future life, will respond to that touch, in music or wailing. A ; simple thought which made scarce a i ripple in its first utterance is the nu cleus of mighty revolution. By the : very necessity of things we communi cate an influerce. We live in anorderofj circumstances, where not an atom is I insiginificant. If we act we touch the ; spring of an endless consequence ; our I existence is felt and we leave our itn- : i press. Nor can we escape from this responsibility by rating ourselves as 1 nothing. Surely then, one of the most : powerful motives binding us to action ! is the consideration of our injluenc.e. — If it b s such as to produce peace, happi ness,& good will am ng on n, then most ; amply are we rewarded, by seeing the happy consequences of our action.— But if it be such as to lead men to do grade themselves, changing their noble nature into beastly, unfeeling, dissipa ted wretches, then most bitterly will onr ’ conscience upbraid us, and the still ! small voice within never cease to re mind us that we are accountable for the downfall of that once noble man. What influence then, wo would ask, is the most detrimental upon society l VVliat example would a young man, just entering life’s thorny maze, be most likely to follow ? Is it that of the drunken sot, with bloated face, red nose, and shabby coat, who goes reeling by from the grog-shop, where he has spent his last cent for a dram ? Is it 1 his example, that lie will take by which to guide his own course of conduct, or is it that of the genteel moderate tip | pier, who drinks occasionally with a friend to keep up a sociable feeling— j who will not be deprived of his liberty i in a free land—and who tells the youth of eighteen that it is not injurious in its effects if he will hut drink moderately— that he must be careful not to indulge too freely, or let his thirst overcome his judgment. Ah! what glorious advice to give after creating the appetite in his bosom: as well might he talk to the glass, which contains the pernicious stuff. The inexperienced youth as sures him he will heed his counsel, that he will never be a drunkard. But un fortunately, nature has not bestowed a very large development of firmness in his organization, consequonily his reso lution is too feeble to withstand the templing draught which his temperate drinking friend has set before him, and he yields lo the alluring vice. lie sees not tne serpent, coiled within. He hears not the hoar - - lauglit; r of fiend-, I PENFIKLI), GA. MAY 29, 1852. ” ; rejoicing over another fallen spirit. — | He feels not the bitter ami undying re- ; morse, which must be eventually pro- ! duced by the reproaches of an awaken- 1 ing conscience—he knows not that lie ‘ is preparing to sacrifice his manhood ! upon the loathsome altar of intemper- j mice. Did lie see, feel, and hear these 1 tilings, he would curse the glass midi : dash it into atoms be fora raising it to his i j lips ; but ho sees it not. Thus vanishes one of tho loftiest intellects, noble hearts, I and useful mciubers'bfsociety. As 11 , j perhaps, upon whom floating parents! lavished the most tender caresses, deli cate luxuries, and unlimited mivauta- I ges, that wealth could bestow or atl’ec- ‘ ( tion procure—a brother, perchance, j in whom a sister’s fond hopes have been ; centered, whose unbounded lovo had: pictured him to bo all that was truly great and good. This is no fancy i sketch—no vain imagination ; it is an every day scene. Then who would 1 wish to spread abroad su h an influence • as that of a moderate drinker ? Noone’ in this audience, vve trust. Then let; your example be that of the teetotaller, which is the only good and safe one, 1 and one. that will inevitably load to hap :py results. But, wo ladies, are not ex empt from this power of influence ; no, tiot even the young ladies can escape Irom this responsibility, though moving in a more limited sphere than the other ’ sex. When a young lady gives her ; approval of the use of intoxicating drinks, by joining liergentleman friend in taking a glass ol wine, she is stepping from her true sphere, and can no long :or be called a true lady. Does he not feel gratified, yes, pleased, that it meets her approbation, though unwilling to confess that he heeds a young lady’s opinion on the subject ? Confident that such conduct meets her approval, he pursues his reckless course. But if, :on the other hand, she reluses to join him and decidedly manifests her dislike and contempt tor such behavior, will it ■ not produce feeling ol shame and re morse? Wo know it would. Then young ladies, considering the wrong wo may be guilty of, let us employ all 1 the eloquence ot speech we possess and i our daily example against it. Let us | remember who innocently shares the I infamy of the intemperate husband— who endures the loathsome contact, the awful curses, the cruel blows of the de lirious drunkard—who sutlers priva : tions and pines amid the gloom of her neglected home—who drops into an early grave, glad to exchange this ter | I’Dr, agony and shame lor a peaceful sleep. The victims arc too numerous to escape our observation or to pass by ; unnoticed and uncared for. To the mothers wc will say, your field of ac tion is unbounded ; tile responsibility resting upon you is great indeed—vou, upon whom devolves the task of mould-1 ing the infant mind—of giving tone and : direction to the youthful character. It 1 ’ i L your sacred and imperious duty, to develope tho appetites of your children ! > is near as possible in accordance wiili 1 j nature’s laws, thereby preventing in. j j temperance. Their flexible nature can ‘ 1 be turned into any channel you desire, < : io this way you wield a power more > mighty than that of the scepter ortho : sword. We again entreat you, be not : unmindful of the vast influence you ex j ert upon society. Jf you would see your children filling honorable and use j tul stations in life, bring them up in the paths of total abstinence. Then ladies, j one and ail, let us, who are the imme diate sufferers from the use of ardent : spirits, lift up our voices to suppress tats evil in every form. As we reflect upon the many advocates this vile mon ster has, nettling impresses us with more regret, or seems more lamentable titan the laet that men occupying the most elevated positions our country af fords, on whom devolves the welfare of ■ a nation, the future prosperity of so many human beings, should ho seen visiting grog-shops daily, yes oftoner. Arc such, proper men to make out laws, or suggest plans best adapted to a ; progressive, age like ours, when their brains are in u perfeo state of excite ment ( Are these the men by whom Iwe must be governed ? As we ladies have nos the privilege of voting, we must quietly submit; but if we had, we are induced to believe we should not send such men to Congress. There is another class in society, who exert a very pernicious influence upon community ; we refer to the rum seller. (Ie is always pictured in our minds as one of the m ‘st tearless, cru el, selfish creatures in existence.— When a man takes the money from a poor degraded creature, whose suffer ing wife and starving children are star ing him in the face; when he knows he is taking the bread from their mouths —depriving them of the bare necessi ties us life—who wiil drain the last cent from a wretched father’s pocket, and ; turn him into the street unable to stand, j is not worthy the name of man. To say nothing of his depriving a fellow- 1 man of his reason, changing his love into hate, Konfleuv-s into furv, blasting J 7 O | j the fondest hopes, blighting tho loftiest, j intellect; to turn one home thus to ! abuse his wife and little ones. Is it ‘strange that we associate everything, that is brutal with such a man I— ! Surely ho must ho devoid of conscience, and every enobling feeling. Well may ’ you congratulate yourselves upon being rid of snob a -member in your commit niiv. If the laws of our land do not; prohibit such traffic ; if the men do not j adopt measures to prevent the sale of; ! ardent s| irks; let us, yes even tho la-J , dies, wage a war of extermination against rum and his legions, besiege! ms proudest citadels, nor rest from our’ ’ labors until the hist vestige of his reign i |be blotted out forever. We are happy ‘ ito see that in one of our States, tho : i young ladies have had a temperance j convention, which exceeded ntiy thing iof the kind ever before attempted, and ; which is likely to ho productive ofim mense good. It is a source of great I 0 0 Ijoytousto see women arousing ton | true sense of the great evils of intem j peranoe, and to their own responsibili ties and duties in regard to it ; and we j hope the zeal now enkindled will not again sleep till our land is rid of the curse which lias so long rested with crushing weight upon woman. There may be some present who will think we are flattering ourselves far beyond our abilities, and assuming a position I which maintained in effect, would be ; quite unbecoming. If so, wo claim the privilege of differing. We know it is said that ladies have hearts, but no brains, that they are fitted for no other j sphere than that of home, to keep the house in order, prepare the means in due season, have the coffee hot, to patch nicely the holes of a husband’s coat, and bring his slippers when lie wishes; them, &c., &c. But Mr. President, we ‘ are inclined to believe we possess a lit- • tie rood sense with it. Now while we ZJ would not have her neglect any ot the ’ fireside duties, nor fail to wait upon her husband to a reasonable extent, to j impart that comfort which she only can do, neither would we have her quietly submit to sufferings entailed upon ItoM by an existing evil in society, if there is a probability of her eradioati ig it by j any exertions which she could make,; 1 even if it was to lift up her voice in pub lic in behalf of her down-trodden sex. 1 True, she may meet with scorn and rid icule from those wiio would keep her in the limited sphere described above,; yet we hope she will not falter in so j good a woik, but show to the world that woman’s sphere of labor and usefulness is much more extensive than the bounds j hithertoset by custom —that we pos sess minds as well as hearts, and that by the cultivation of the former will not prevent our filling u sphere more close allied to the affections. But lot us assure you that by expanding the j powers of the intellect, and extending ; our knowledge to a broader platform, 1 we shall be rendered only the more complete to discharge tho responsihili- ’; ties of a wife, a mother, or a sister. Please excuse the digression wc have j made and impute it to our enthusiasm j of “Women’s Rights.” But we fear’ we have already wearied your patience, j and will detain you but a few moments; t longer. May vve hope, whether it be - b . v man’s power or woman’s influence, ■ that the light which has just begun to . j dawn upon our Union may diffuse its *j benign influence to all thesister States. , i May its rays continue to expand until • { this free arid proud land of America :j can boast itself rid this curse. C In conclusion, Mr. President, accept . onr warm congratulation for your suc cess in keeping the evil from your midst. Wo would also offer our best wishes for the prosperity of your little society, in which, during the past few months, we have become so deeply in terested. May you continue to lure the wayward and reckless hack to the paths ot rectitude and peace, and rest assured, you will, in future time, roup , the rich reward wh'eh is so j icily ur-r ----! ted, Little Buck Head, Burke Cos., Gj. Bro. Brant/y : —Knowing the inter -1 crest you feel in the advancement of the good cause of temperance, it is gratifying to he able to give a favora ble account of Buriyan Division, not j withstanding the inauspicious circum ; stances that surrounded its organiza tion and early existence. Though yet in its infancy, it is flourishing and spreading itself like a “green bay tree,” and shedding a goodly influence around jit characteristic of the order, which is destructive alike to drunkenness and its illustrious parent and forerunner— dram drinking, and instituting the prin ciples of virtue and brotherly love. We still have opposition, but our boys have waged an uncompromising war against old alchy, and evince as much valor in the contest as “Welling- ( I ton’s Invincibles, giving the enemy bat- i tie front, flank and rear, as occasion offers. Already the last funeral notes I of the only liquor estrblishmeut in our ; immediate vicinity have died in the dis- ‘ , lance, arid its occupant now enlisted ( i , under tho white banner in the ifroiil rank of the cold water arms. The opposition ollered i>v the few i among us seems to have a salutary 1 f. , lent, lather than otherwise, in nllordiiur a proper stimulus to action, und will no doubt give an impetus to the cause. ‘■ iM Mr. A. in bis wisdom and coon i omy, is opposed to the order because i tue keeping H up involves the expendi j turn of a small portion of that siulbe- I loved object, called money, and is tin: re : fore unwilling to give it his aid, or en courage bis sons to do so’ lie calls it ja “moneyed institution,” and without ; searching tor s:ronger argument against i it, rests securely upon that as a potent I ! objection. It it is a “moneyed institu doif tv lint would lie call those minia ture pictures ot hell, where tho fiery j fluid is dealt out by the gill and half- ! pint, until, not only is the purse empty, hut tho destruction ot hoalii, reputation, family, and finally of the soul is accom plished. In order totrv Mr. As. prin ciple of economy, it is only necessary to estimate tho difference between the weekly dues of a 8. of T. and the liq uor hill of an attendant at grog-shops for twelve months. But, as lie is a tem peranoe man and don’t visit such pla- ; cos, he may bo unable to seo what ap plication the question can have to him ; ’ it might therefore be remarked, that if! j he don’t waste time and money himself \ at grog-shops, there arc those ol his foi j low.beings, perhaps in the reach of Ids ; influence who do, and the command to j love our neighbor as ourself, urges the : necessity of making every effort to dis ) pel vice and misery from the land, and ; forbids even a slate of neutrality in ’ such a philanthropic and glorious cause j j as temperance. Mr. 8., a shining member of the ‘church militant, looking no doubt ! with a prophetic eye into futurity, predicts the ruin of flio “rising genera tion” to ivsult. from tho order of the ‘'oils of Temperance, and has raised his warning voice to avert the impending consequences. We sympathize with j bun in his distressing fears ami solici ! tude on the part of the young, but us ;he gives no reasons why such results •should follow tho discontinuance of al coholic drinks, we shall not ereil't bis prophecy till we see it verified. Mr. (’., although advance ! in years, j it seems, has not arrived at the muturi : ty of It is organization, tho and veloprneiit of physical proportions having prog ! ressed at tho expense of mind, lie | does all he can in his small way, liow ! ever, to injure the cause, without know- I ing why or giving anything in the j form of argument. Ho tills the cliar : actor to a nicety of a certain individual ! spoken of by Solornan as being wiser j than seven men who can render a; j reason. The opposition of such an in- I dividual in any matter of importance may generally be taken as evidence in ‘favor of its correctness, as ignorance: land prejudice like to bo on tiie wrong side when they have choice.

I think we are “sor ter” neglected about Franklin; lectu rers are “pleading the causo of ages yet unborn, throughout the length and breadth of our happy land, yet none comes to Franklin to pour forth in elo quent strains tho everlasting truth that man may bo free indeed. Hereupon the banks of the beautiful and majestic Chattahoochee is located our beautiful and thrifty village, filled with pleasant, sociable and hospitable citizens, many arc youths of vigor and j promise, mothers and daughters too are here, who look with confidence to the future success and elevationof their ; sons and brothers, und yet amidst all this well being, tliero is at our very gates, tho seducing monster, the fiery j fiend, the roaring lion, tho wiley ser ; pent, w hose daily foot-print3 are mark ed with distress and ruin.
