POETS, BEWARE! Poets beware ! iwver compare Ah.nien withoight on earth or in air. Earth 'nay be bright, air may he light, Hut brightness and lightness in women vr.iite.

remedy, Hke the evil, must be found in the correct application ot general principles. It must be a universal and national remedy. What then is this universal, natural, and

For who would have imported, or distilled, or vended, if all the nominally temperate in the land had refused to drink ? U is the buyers who have created the demand toratdent spirits, and made distillation and importation a gainful traffick. And it is the custom of the temperate too, which inundates the land with the occasion of so much aad such un
manageable temptation. Let the temperate cease to buy and the demand for ardent spir its will fall'in the market Utree fourths, and
ultimately will fail wholly, as the generation of drunkards shall hasten out of time. To insist that men, whose capital is em barked in the production, or vending of ardent spirits, shall manifest the entire magnanimity and self denial, vhich is needful to save the land, though the example would be glorious to them, is more than we have a right to expect or demand. Let the comsu mer do his duty , and the capitalist, finding his employment unproductive, will quickly dis cover other channels of useful enterprise. All language of impatient censure, against those -vn-j embarked in the traffick of aidant s pi lit-; while it was deemed a lawful calling, sr.ould theiefore he forborne It would only serve to irritate and arouse prejudice, and
prevent investigation, and concentrate a deafj

evil, is evident from the following considerations. 1. It employs a multitude cf men, and a vast amount of capital, to no useful purpose. The medicinal use of ardent spirits is allow ed ; for this ho.vever the jpothccaiy can iurnish an adequate supply ; but considered as an article of commerce, lor ordinary ute, it adds nothing to animal or social enjoyment, to muscular power, to intellectual vigor, or moral feeling. It does, indeed, produce paroxysms of muscular effort, ol intellectual vigor, and of exhilarated feeling but it is done only by an impiovident draught upon nature bv anticipation, to be punished by a languor
and debility proportioned to the excess. No man leaves h.hind him a more valuable product of !-bor, as the result of artifictat stim ulus, than the even industry of unstimulated nature would have p:oduced; or blesses the vorld with netttr specimens of intellectual power ; r instructs it by a belter example ; oi drinks enjoyment from a lullcr, vueeter
cup, than thai Much :,atuie provider But if the premises are just, who can resist thc conclusion? To what purpose is oil this
waste? Is it not the duty of every man to srrvc his generation in omc useful employment ? Is not idleness a sin ? But in what respect does that occupation differ from idleness which adds nothing to national' prosperity, or to individual or social enjoyment; Agriculture, commerce, and the arts are indispensable to the perfection of human char actcr, and the formation of the happiest srati o! society ; and if some evils are inseparab'; from their prosecution, there is a vast over balancing amount of good. But where is the
