A. AIIDltCSS Pelivered at a meeting of the Carroll county Tempeiance Society by the Iter. Mr. BtLSE. It has been a subject of no minor cong;deraiion with the friends oi religion a id humanity, in all ages ot the woild, to know what would be the best way to improve Uie condition ol mankind, and gjara them against those evils winch are so much calculated to destroy their hctppine-fc m this life, and that which is to come. Among tise many evils whh h rnihtbe mentioned, we, upon this occasion, select that of drunkeness. It may be justly observed, that maH made for the noble puipose oi bcij-i criiig his Creator. But how iar he has accomplished that object, his conduct must determine. It must be acknowledged that intemperance has been one ot tae greatest causes of that perversion of conduct. From the earliest ages of tae world, it has been spoken against by the wise and good, to the gieatest propriety say, that in no age has there been lueh exertions made to shew the impropriety of intemperance and its ruinous eiiocts upon society in general. But 3te all reclaimed? Are none living in the practice of intemperance? Alas! our h " ucnnuuii itaciitrit ui

They have buried their talents. and have rendered themselves a mere pest to society. A id, there is no cause to think that those men came to this unhappy end at once; but by the pernicious practice, which long habit has ren dered almost sacred , saying, "take a little, it will not hurt vou,"1 when, at the same time, there is poison in the bowl. You may say that it was done out of kindness, but that is poor kindness which is calculated to destroy our happiness, and lead us from our duly to both God and man. Look at our Churches, and who, I ask, can calculate the evil that the use of ardett spirits has done among those who etice were enjoying peace and happi - ress in their souls, and had a place amon the people of God? Now . thro' intemperance, thev have pierced them - a.., u u :i!, reives mrougvi wjui many sorrows, re ceived the disapprobation of the pi jus and are excluded from the fellowship of the saints.

Let us look at the following representation of Intemperance ai d Temperance, and we shall see in a striking manner their different effects: 1st. Intemperance is the mother of ignorance. Temperance in many respects is the

parent of knowledge. 2u. Intemperance is the cause cf almost every species of evil. Temperance is a happy cause of preventing evil. 3d. Intemperance is a pest to society. Temperance is a blessing to society. 4th. Intemperance blast, the reputation. Temperance sustains our reputation,' 5th.

far as it respects those w ho have beenlject, we see the reformation that has

But we have everv reason to believe, that the ti.ne is fast approar hing when the use of ardent spirits will be excluded from tiie socie tv of civ ilized men. For already is the drunkard becoming ashamed of his bot tle, he knows it is looked upon with disdain bv the sober and well informed who will shun both his person and com j lend to be temperate and vindicate the

reproachfully of the institution. Bat in the midst of all opposition, e should move on in that steady and examplan way, showing by our'cxnmplc that the cause of temperance is the cause of God, and must and will prevail over all opposition. W ho then can be indifferent and stand idle when such an opportunity is presented to all lovers oi humanity to do good to the present and future generations.
