TIEMPEISANeE, ~~ From the Penlield Temperance Banner. Penfield, July 241 h, 1843. A Convention of the friends of Tem perance met at the College Chapel, at Penfield, at early candle light, on the evening of the 24th inst. The Conven tion was organized by appointing N. M. Crawford, Esq. President, and l)r. E. C. Lawrence and John M. Ashurst, Esq’s., Secretaries.

Cogburn, Esq. i Eatonton Total Abstinence Society— Col. J. A. Wingfield, John M. Ashurst and William A. Houghton, Esqrs. The President, after the organization of the Convention, addressed the audi ence in a short but very forcible manner; introducing the subject, after a few pre fatory remarks, by interrogatories. Why so much effort at organization? Whv send delegates to and fro over the coun- i try, lecturing on temperance?—ls drunk enness a new thing ? Dwelt upon the ; cause of the ruin of Sodoni, and shewed that even righteous Lott, after his deliv ery, was found intoxicated—that the se cond father of man, after building the ark and saving his race from destruction, was overtaken by this vice—that profane history taught its abominations, and shewed both etforts to suppress and build up drunkenness—that while the people acknowledged the evil, the ablest of poets were immortalizing it in song; proofs, that it is an old vice, that history and philosophy taught in vain, while under a new and simple organization of modern origin, it can he put down. Not for Kings or Princes to drink wine or strong drink—the King of the Chaldes was rev elling in the glorious city, drinking wine in the halls of his fathers, from the vessels dedicated to the Temple, adding sacri lege to crime, when the hand-writing appeared upon the wall—while he slack ened the reins of government the soldiery without were indulging the same vice, making themselves an easy prey for a sober and vigilant enemy. The people are the Princes of America—if they be negligent and drunk, how will their ser vants 'act ? Surely as did those of the Prince of the Chaldees. The people, as the Princes, should put down drunkards for self-protection. 300,000 drunkards in the United States—the proportion for Georgia about 8,000, making it evident that the drunkards of the State control; the elections, as none ever turned by such j large majorities. An election in Fcnn jsyivania came off with about 20G majori ity —a Governor of Massachusetts was jekcfed'by a hare majority of 1. The Christian friends not ail to the jwork. The necessities of Hager were administered to with a bottle of water, and thousands were now travelling the drunkard’s path and perishing for want of cold water —and even professing chris tians were idle spectators. We need not . attempt to give the ideas advanced, the language and eloquence of the speaker, but simply sketch the strong points to shew whence they came, that others may draw from the same fountains. 1 These facts clearly demonstrate the necessity of a soberness in order to be a happy people—that government is to be protected, not by drunkenness, but its converse—that we shall reform the pre sent generation as far as possible, and by teaching the youth temperance, bring the next upon the stage of action all sober and virtuous—that when the people are in the hands of sober officers they have goad government—good government the effect of good officers, and good officers the best evidence of a temperate and free i people. On motion of Rev. B. M. Sanders, it was Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed to report business for the action of this meeting, on to-morrow evening at 4 o’clock, P. M. It was Resolved, further, That the President of this Convention be request ed to act as chairman of said committee. The committee, under the above reso lutions, were N. M. Crawford, Campbell, Sanders, Burney and N. Hill. - Messrs. Sanders, Mell and Lawrence, were then appointed a committee under a resolution for that purpose, to request gentlemen to address the Convention on to-morrow evening, at early candle light. Convention then adjourned until 4 o’clock to-morrow, P. M. 4 o’clock, Tuesday Evening. Convention met according to adjourn ment. The committee aopointed to report bu siness for the action of this Convention made their report, and their recommen dations were put in the form of resolu tions and unanimously adopted, viz: Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed to prepare a report on the cause of Temperance generally, and an address to the public ; both to be pub lished after the adjournment of this Con vention.

After which, Dr. Lawrence, by parti cular request, demonstrated the effects of intemperance upon the human stomach , from drawings by Dr. Sewall. Several gentlemen then addressed the Convention and called upon the friends of Temperance to-rally every whereto the cause. Mr. Ashurst opened the dis ! cussion, and was succeeded by Messrs. ; Overton, Hillyer, Campbell and Davis, i in short and pathetic appeals to all who i feel an interest in the well being of our •race and the perpetuity of our institutions : to come to our support'. !j It was then Resolved, That the propr iety of holding another Convention, at 'some central place in the State, some —.ju— — •.'time next fall, be submitted to the com simittee appointed to write the address; !and they are hereby authorized to fix up i\ou the time and place of holding said e Convention. , Convention then adjourned sine die ‘ e N.

When the Washingtonian move ment first commenced, its novelty and ' the excitement incident to its onward ' progress, sustained the cause, and it seemed fora time, fast approaching a final consummation through the agency alone 'of its newly acquired allies. Some of Sthose who had been its warmest advocates through good report and through evil re port, stood aloof for a time in wonder, amazement and delight, at the rail-road velocity of its onward movement; and seemed to feel as if the responsibility of ' carrying forward the enterprise had pass ed into other and more successful hands. They were contented to retire from the ’ j field and yield the ground toothers—do-’ ing scarcely more than to bid them God “ speed in the glorious work. The new t allies sustained the cause noblv. They have wrought wonders. AH the good accomplished by them cannot be,fully known, until Eternity brings it to light. " The miserable hovel of the drunkard has been converted into a happy home, where ’ peace and plenty are again found. The ’ gratitude of hundreds and thousands of wives and children for the redemption of ’ husbands and fathers from the thraldom t of intemperance, has ascended as a sweet ( memorial in favor of those who have ef fected it, before the throne of God. | Rut notwithstanding so much has been accomplished, much more yet remains to be done. Many among us are yet slaves to appetite. Misery and poverty from intemperance, are seen in almost every city and village. The unprincipled and avaricious are permitted, in violation of | the law, to hold out the alluring bowl at every corner of the street, to tempt the ’ poor, deluded wretch whose appetite from long indulgence has become insatiable as the grave, and cannot be denied when the ' means of gratifying it greet him on every ( side. Those things are so, and so they will continue until every friend of the cause comes up to the work. The charm of novelty that at first attended the Wash -5 ingtonian movement, has in a measure ’ subsided ; the excitement is much abated; ; the inebriates most susceptible of refor j mation have been gathered into the gar ner of temperance. Those that remain j will be reclaimed with much more diffi culty, if reclaimed at all. Let all there fore, who have formerly been active in the cause, but who for the last two years, have done little more than to look on, buckle on their armor anew, and take the field again. The duty of such to them j selves, their neighbor and their country, r requires it of them. Humanity requires it; —God requires it.—[ Wor. Waterfall. Beware of the First Glass. James Reese, a Reporter for the New York press, was picked up near the South Ferry, Brooklyn, on Sunday last, suffer ing under the delirium tremens. He was 1 almost in n state of nudity, and on the eve of jumping into the river to destroy ’ himself. He was taken to the Alms ! house, where his wants are supplied. Mr. Reese signed the Pledge, and made an address at the Parent Society, nearly ' a year ago; but, unfortunately, after liv ing a temperance life about six months, he was induced to partake of that which has reduced him to his present deplorable ’ condition. He is the author of several popular works, favorably known to the ’ public, and by living soberly might be come an ornament to the community. Washingtonians, take warning! Shun the first glass, for it is that which does 1 the mischief. Keep away from the shops—go not in the way of temptation, for on this depends your safety. [Organ. George Hyatt. s W e saw it stated in a paper lately, that i this person is now a common soldier in , Maine. Fifteen years ago, says the 3 Mobile Herald, Ilyatt was the very soul of one of the most select circles in Bos - ton—the best comedian in the country, f and a poet of the first water. Some of fi his songs are even now popular—the “ Mellow Horn,” for instance, and sever e al 6thers that we cannot now name.— s Hyatt married a beautiful girl, who in a o few years was obliged to descend from the luxury of riches, and take in washing t. for a living. Her father lived in one of !, the most splendid mansions in Boston— o and nine years ago she was dragging out r a miserable existence in a cellar in New s York. At last, she was driven mad, and died in the alms-house. Reader, you [. must know the secret of this tale of mise t ry.l George Hyatt, the educated, favor el winning man of genius, was a drunkard! - When he reflects upon his past life, as :;he paces ids lowly round at nigjjt, what - must be his thoughts'? Pity that he ilcould not teach others to feel as he feels {then! A Young Tetota’.er. An anecdote was related to us the other day, which afforded us much pleas ure, as evincing the deep root which the i principles of Washmgtonianism are ta lking in the minds of the rising'genera tion. A woman in a neighboring town 3 jaccosted a little boy in the street, and .irequested him to go on an errand for her 1 to a neighboring store, offering him t#e 1 cents as a compensation. On learning t that it was rum which the woman wanted 1 him to get, the boy declined the service. } She then oflered him a piece of pie, in f addition to the money ; but this was no , inducement. A piece of cotton cloth . was then produced, sufficient to make a , pair of shirts for the boy,—and this was j oflered in addition to the money and the 1 pie ; but the little fellow still refused, f ‘lama teetoialer,” said he, **anrl 1 can’t .go after rum any how. ’ Whether the , woman succeeded in getting her rum by » other means, wc are not informed. [Fountain. I Germany. ! The President of the Osnaburg Tem . perance Society, in Germany, in corres- Jpondence with the Rev. John Marsh, iSecretary of the American Temperance j Union, says: 'j “As with you, so is it with us—the | cause of Temperance increasing. We ’ shall hold a general convention in Ham , burg, in August next. Wc contemplate to have also travelling agents in the cause 1 of 'Temperance. “ We have to acknowledge our grate-; ful feelings towards the United States for j the beginning.”— [Ladies’ Tp. Mirror. I American Seamen Abroad ! 1 The British Recorder, speaking of a iTemperame meeting held at Greenock, says—There were present the entire crew of the American ship Siberia, of Plymouth, who are all teetotalers ! Mr. Atwood, the chief mate, gave an address, and testified from experience, with his i own career, that men can be teetotalers i and good sailors.— [lb. i ——— A Wine Bibber at the Confession-! ae.—“Col.
