Temperance
-
‘t present there Is a 000 d den' of
talk about temperance. Now, tent.
perance is a good thing, and we arc
decidedly sorry that It is not more

the opinion that our people were too
Gast- that they lived too inueli in a
sliceitied Munber of years. Any reform.
ation, therefore, that mat' le effected,in
Il»S regard, we have considered would
be to the general advantage.
Itt the proceedings of a temperance
meeting held in the Court !loupe, in
tilts place, last Mmulay n ig ht, we are
notified that an effort is to be made to
prment the general and indiorriiMnate
sclliu of intoxicating liquors. The

lieve, are to be concentrated )n the

different matters, and it is not possible
to connect them with advantage to the
former.
We greatly regret the extreme in•
temperance that now prev3ds, and yet
can but put it down as the conse•
quence of the loose age in which we
live. The morals of the country gen.
orally are at a low ebb, and the tide of
wickedness rushes along with a sound
and a roar that seems to preclude the
possibility of resistance. Such has
alwat a been the case after therTrevra

We publish, in another column, an
art ide from an exchange of a tendency
sonnewhat alarming, and which seems
to foreshadow the ultimate overthrow
of Republican institutions in this coun

An Empire to be Established on the
Ruins of the Republic.
Tito New York Citizen, of a recent
date, shows up the leading sentiments
of the Loyal League :
"Many of the ablest men of the Imes
ent day have for the last three or four
yearn, expressed tht it belief that the
TO:publican leaders, in thpir efforts for
eintralization ofpower, were gradually
pitting the way for transforming this
Repulthe into an Empire , that,
while pretending to base thee• action
upon the %sill of the people, they are,
under that cover, directing all their et.
forts towards a revolution which will
enable them to fumes the ruin of our
Republic and its institutions, and es-
tallish in its place an Empire, with its
enm Hell Emperor, title of nobility and
anstocratic rule. Few imagined that
there would be any so bold as to pub

and proclaim this doctrine at sotearly

them
Hardly had Gen. Grunt been sworn
in as President, before there %%ere rm
mom in political circles, that a paper
was soon to be
the
in Philadelphia,
advocating the establishment of an
Empire in this country, and in favor
of proclaiming Grant, Emperor. This
was at first looked upon as a mere ru
mor, but it hi now proving to be some
thing more. A gentleman purporting
to represent those engaged in the move
ment, recently visited New York and
Albany, to see how far the Republican
leaders would lend •their sympithy.
This person suited that leading men of
the Union League of Philadelphia,
were enlisted in this progrdmme, and
had thrnished the means to establish
a paper to advocate it ; also, to estab
lish secret societies for the promulga
tion of that doctrine. Further, that a
paper would-soon bepublished ii that
city to be called the Empire, the 'motto,
of which would be, in the words pf
Napoleon and Grant, "The Exeptrc is
Peace," and "Let us hate resat , '"
