Tcmpcrasicc Meeting.

A masting of the Manchester Temperance Society was held at the Methodist Church, in Manchester, on the 4th July, for the purpose of celebrating the fifty-seventh Anniversary of American Independence, and promoting the cause of temperance. The meeting was attended by a large and respectable audience. S. S. Harding, Esq. of Versailles, and Mark McCracken, Esq., of this place, addressed the society on the occasion. On motion, it was resolved that S. S. Harding, Esq. and Mark McCracken, Esq. be invited to furnish the secretary with copies of their addresses, for publication in the Indiana Palladium and Western Statesman. ISAH. FERRIS, PresU. Attest, M. II. Harding, Sccyy.

drink, it does not concern others; I injure none but myself. I will tell you how it concerns me: when you, by your example and influence, pervert the morals of my son and make a drunkard of him, it's my concern. When you are married to my sister or daughter and render her and her children wretched by your intemperance, it's my concern; when you neglect your business, waste your property beggar your family, so that they have to be supported at the public expense, I have my proportion of the taxes to pay for your support; hence it concerns me. Do you not injure, by your examples, all the members of your fam-

ly,&; though you may find a premature grave yourself, your example outlives you If you have a son, he may be talented, learned, kind,

agreeable and respected, the friend of his equals, his widowed mother; and you may fondly hope to be sustained by him in the downfall of life; ho may bid f.iir for usefulness, but he his acquired an appetite for ardent spirits it was given him as a necessary ingredient when young.

is not this what many retailers are doing.1 The commerce in ardent spirits does all this inevitably. Certain it is that it makes a fearful havoc of property, morals, and life, aid it is scarcely a palliation of the crime, that none is destroyed maliciously or with any direct intent to kill; for the certainty of the evil is as great as if one would fire in the dark at masses cf human beings, where it must be certain that death would be the consequence to some. The consideration that those to whose injury we are. accessary, arc destroyed by the perversion of their own free will, doubtless subtracts in no small degree from the keen sense cf accountability and

the land of patriots rallied around the altar cf liberty, and pledged their "lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor." That pledge shook the political world. But these men did net need the pledge for themselves, it was to confirm the wavering; to present to tyranny a solid phalanx of men, bent on liberty or death. Wo want their sons to imitate them. Your name in the archieves o! the society, may save one, two, perhaps one hundred cr a thousand from wretchedness and the grave of a drunkard.

comes us to assemble around the altar of Him, ! ness. Thus he brings down the gray hairs who supported the patriotic band in the hour j of his aged parents with sorrow to the grave;

of trial; to teach the lesson of freedom to our children, by recalling to them the matchless

achievements of our fathers to point to the causes which commenced their contest the principles which directed it and the perseverance with which they triumphantly planted the banner of freedom on the ruins of tyranny. Yes, will the veteran exclaim, pointing to the charter of our liberties, there stands

the recorded sufferings of your fathers there, in characters, that will endure while time shall last, shines the constitution of our government, framed by men, whose names will be coextensive with its existence, which secures to us all the privileges that freemen can desire it constitutes us one people it is dear to us it is justly so it is the main pillar in the edifice of our real Independence the support of our tranquility at home, and of our peace- abroad of our safety of our prosperity and of that very liberty which we so highly prize. On it, and the virture of the people, we rely, for their duration. It is not from foreign powers, that we are to expect our overthrow. It will be in our own bosoms that we shall find our first dangerous enemy, the spirit of licentiousness! No gorernment us powerful and extensive as ours can ever

lose its liberty, while its members retain their virtue. We arc assembled, my friends, not to boast, but to realize not to inflate our national vanity, by a pompous relation of past achievements, in the council or in the field, but a modest retrospect, of the truly dignified part acted by our countrymen; and to form an accurate view of our present situation to discuss and familiarize the duties that await us as citizens as soldiersas men. Among the many duties that devolve upon us, one is to discourage the excessive use of ardent spirits; and that is one of the objects of our meeting, at this time. The importance of this subject, strikes me with solemnity. I am master of no language by which I can give a faint idea, much less a delineation of the direful consequences attendant on its abuse. Its baneful influence, is beyond a parallel; it has no equal. As the propelling power that puts the machinery in motion, so it is the prime source of most of the evils that befall the human family. It is the cause of hurrying us into ruin, disgrace, infamy, and a premature grave. Whatever is said in favor of the use of ardent spirits, yet it is fatal in its consequences. Certain it i, tiiat we are not born drunkards, and it is equally certain, that tip-

ling makes drunkards. Rcdect for a moment, and sec how many within your own knowledge, have fallen victims to this vice. Who has not seen the youth of fine talents and promise, coming into life encircled with the highest parental hopes and expectations, and making regular and rapid progress towards a sphere of usefulness and respectability, betake himself to the ale-house, where soon the relish for study cr business is lost, and industry, ambition, character, family reputation, virtuous society, are all unmeaning things. The considerations they present, he regards not, but wanders about, the associate of idlers, the butt of vulgar insolence, and the abhorrance of his former and intellectual companions. Again, how many bright intellects have been beclouded how many minds, pregnant with the noblest purposes, hearts that'have throbbed and glowed with benevolent designs.

bosoms that have been the nestling places of

the warmest and tenderest altections, have been blighted and chilled by the poisonous

influence of spintous liquors. The evils resulting from an improper use of these, have become so extensive and desolating, as to call for the immediate, vigorous and perse

in morals, which it is impossible for man to The young females with whom they assoei consider too often, that ho does not enter life t ate are the guardians cf their virtue and ac

and if he has a family he breaks the heart of

his wife, beggars his children, and throws himself a wretched outcast on society. To whom shall I hold up this picture of wretchedness! drunkards! it is the picture of yourselves. Parents, if you have a son whom you suffered to drink temperately, (as you term it,) and he should afterward be a drunkard, then this picture will apply to you. Young men, who now appear in health and vigor, whose hopes beat high for future honors, wealth, happiness and domestic delights, if you indulge in the social glass, the awful sequal of this picture will be realized in you. And is this, young man, the history of your course? Yes, bright as your morning now odcus, and high as your hopes beat, this is

your noon, and your night, unless you shun those intemperate habits. Ye maidens fair, robed in innocence, although the rose now blooms upon your cheeks, although you now dress ycur features in smiles, and your hopes

of the future may be ever so fair; yet most assuredly, that a part of this picture may be realized in you, if you connect yourself with the man who habituates himself in these indigencies. As well might you expect to

sustain life, enveloped in devouring flames, as to expect to enjoy the sweets of domestic delights, yoked with a drunkard.

1 here are many apologies made for intemperance. Some say they drink to drown sorrow. So far from having this effect, it is the source from which most of our afllictions come. Look at the father, the mother, the brother or sister weeping over the evils they cannot avert; look at the broken-hearted wife, anxiously waiting the return of her husband from he evening debauch; look at the hapless children with an inheritance of nakedness and woe; and look at the husband himself, with a visage that explains his employment, driven, perhaps, from affluence, no house of his own to receive him, or from poorer to poorer tenement he descends, with

multiplied afllictions and diseases accompanying him, and then tell me if drinking docs not multiply sorrow. Again, matrimonial disquietudes are offered by some as a cause for intemperance. The !nan tells you he has married a scold and he cannot enjoy peace at home. This may be, but some times both sexes mistake remonstrance for scolding and thus irritate, when they intend to address the reason. Hut is this apology valid! iahan, who boasts of his superiority of intellect, to give way on such pretexts. Now suppose a woman should resort to like expedients, upon like exigencies. What would any of you say, were you to see tens and scores

of women collected at the crrog shops ren-alinor themselves with half pint after half pint, cursing, threatening, and fighting? Would any of you apologise for them? No. And have they not a right to do so as well as men! Shame on the man who attempts to excuse himself on this ground. vLet us now inquire if avarice is not a great means of extending this great evil. The farmer sells his produce to the distiller, "perhaps for a cent or two on the bushel more than he can get elsewhere; the distiller finds it a profitable business; the vender makes his hundred per cent, by retailing; the physician finds his advantage, for it increases the number of his patients; the lawyer reaps a rich harvest in the fees of contentious clients; the judges, justices, sheriffs, and constables, all rind a profit in it, for it is the fruitful source

of litigation. In the din ot business and the eager thirst for gain, the consequences of our conduct, or the destiny of our fellow men, are not apt to be realized so as to modify our course. But is it right to amass wealth bv a
