Since the first moven&|t of the people
in the city of Philadelphia, where the
pledge to abstain from the use of spirit
uous liquors as a beverage was first adopt*
e d, more than one generation of people
have come and passed a|?ay, and the pres
ent one is nowagitatin#the subject anew,
B nd of which many show themselves ig*
noraht of the revolution then produced
jo the drinking habits of the people, and
of the great value of thh means made use
of to produce the change. I resided in
Philadelphia when this temperance move*
oeni first began, and had done so for
many years before and tifter that time,
and with your permission will make some
statements as to the dpinking customs of
oor people at that tip&e, the measures
e d to bring about! 'a change therein
and the effects produced thereby , The
facts which I will state are of my own
knowledge, and may be of use to some at
least of those now .very, active, in what is
co w called the “total prohibition move
ment. ’
During the war of 1812, and down to
about the years of 1825 and 1826 the use of
spirituous drinks as a beverage was uni
versal throughout our State and along the
seaboard of our whole Union, and by
iigb and low, old and yonng ; very little
comparatively of malt liquors was made
or used then, and much that was used was
imported ; of wine what was used was by
the wealthy, none being made in the Uni
ted Slates. Most of tfie spirituous liquors
used were also -imported, but the poorer
qualities,-whisky and rum, were made
here and retailed at very low prices per
drink or measure, . and intoxication whs
of very common occurrence. Many for
eigners, English and German, particular
ly, being used at home to drink wine or
beer, and unused to our stronger, cheap
whisky and rum, soon and easily became
drunken from their use, who were but
seldom so under the influence of their
own drinks at home. Almost all men
drank their “bitters” early in the morn
ing ; working men, mechanics, &c., very
generally drank their “grog” at “grog
lime,' 1 morning and evening. A very
common piece of furniture was a “side
board,” well furnished with cat glass de
canters and wine glasses, frequently very
costly, with good display of wine, cor
dials, brandy, &c., for the “refreshment” i
of visitors, &c. If a baby cried, “it had
the colic,” and a little toddy was its cure, t
and an appetite for strong drink implant
ed in the constitution for all time, if it
had not been born with it. In steam
boats, taverns, &c., decanters of “bran
dy/’ spirits,” were as common on tfie pub
lic dinner table as was the salt cellars. It
was deemed unfriendly not to ask a
friend, when you met him or when he
visited you, to drink with you, and equal-
Jranttisaily in himAo .refuse, to. drink
when asked. In a word the drinking of
spirituous liquors was very common and
general, and intoxication not rare. This
was the slate of the case when from
Princeton Seminary came the cry of re
form v A public meeting was called and
held in Philadelphia, where speeches
were made against the use of spirituous
irinks as a beverage; representations
were made of the very great evil arising
from their use, and pledges asked and
given to abstain in future from their use.
This movement was followed with great
saccess all over the United States, east,
west, north and south ; and Ibave never
seen so great a change and revolution in
&ny custom and habit as was then, and
for many years afterwards, produced under
'.be power and influence of reason and ar
gument; and of “moral suasion.” No per
son thought of calling for the aid of leg
islative law or force of any kind other
than reason, ic. Many of the worst in
ebriate? became sober and temperate, and
oi them many became eminent apostles
-I temperance. The Washingtonians be
well known for their power and in
all over the country.
Mathew, an apostle of temper
a3:'e' c *m'- from Ireland, and with bis el
“iuence turned many thousands of his
-•untrymen from intemperance to a
P-'edge of total abstinence from iq-toxical
mg drinks. The brandy, whisky and rum
the cut glass decanters were banished
uom the sideboards in private houses, and
*;so from the dinner tables in taverns and
steam boats. There are many men now
Tln £ whom I knew as men of intemper
u::tlking habits, who were persuaded
■'abstain, and who became instruments
1D <many others, and who are
-m r ng our very best and most worthy
•‘Z.ens, and blessed of many.
1 have lately heard some men, and par
cularly two worthy clergymen, say that
Q cause, “moral suasion” was of no
is -- and nothing but “prohibition by
would avail, and that many frihnds
0 temperance were ready to give tbous
aQds of dollars to the cause under the flag
prohibition,” who wonid'give noth
otherwise. Now I believe that no
®° r Bl or Christian principle can be or ever
Jas inculcated or established by force of
STi y kind. These same clergymen would
expect or attempt to change the relig
’D of the Chinamen in Beaver Falls from
, Jr >l worship to that of Christian by leg-
Stive law, or by the use of any means
no t used in their own churches among
r own P eo ple for the same purpose, j
il not be profitable if!
tfc<i j lO6ll Were t 0 en( l a * re aud learn from !
how without the aid of legislative |
are B< o perfectly free from >
“ d enness with all temptations and ex
h es everywhere around them.
nd now after many years* battling
te
with our Legislatures and Courts about
licensing houses for the retail of Intoxi
eating drinks, lessening the confidence
of our people in both, the duty is now re
ferred to us, the people, to decide the
question. In Beaver Falls there are, I be
lieve, six houses authorized by law to
sell ; spirituous or ; other intoxicating
drinks, and to tempt men to the ruin
of themselves and families. I know these
houses, being so licensed, do tempt and
cause many of our hard “working and oth
erwise worthy citizens to drink and spend
their hard earned money to the great "In
jury of themselves, personally, and tfcir
families also. While being opposed to
the use of all force, yet l am, if possible,
more opposed to putting temptation all
along our public streets to induce our peo
ple to spend their money for their great
ruin. I appeal to those men- themselves
to say if .this is not the result. I feel
sure that many of them will vote on the
14lh of this month, next Tuesday, at the
borough election, against license. I ap
peal to all good citizens, whether they
occasionally drink or not, to vote
against those temptations being placed
i along our streets by the authority of the
law. None are so much injured by in
temperance as women, and I appeal to
every women, old and yonng, to use all
her great influence to induce all having a
vote to vote agat&st licensing houses for
the sale of intoxicating drinks : use every
argument ami persuasion to ibduce
those you honor ttncL love to vote against
license.. Every man and ;wbniaQ WKo\
does not wish the great sin to.test.upon
their consciences of having been
lof tempting their neighbors, their hua-i
j band, their son, or their father and broth
| er to drunkenness and ruin, will tote , or
do all they can to induce others to vole
' against license.
i As I have said lam not in favor of any
I force or coercion of any kind being made
{ use of to.promote temperance or any prin
! ciple of morality or religion ; but the best
1 of all. prayers leaches us to pray that we
may not be led into temptation—so I
would not wish to he the means of tempt
ing my friend and neighbor to sin against
himself and, family and society. I have
seen, on several occasions, on a large scale,
when the temptation of strong drink was
removed, a perfect revolution in the char
acter and condition of mechanics and
workingmen -and families, followed as ( a
consequence.
Messrs- White & Hazard were manu
facturers of iron, wire, boilers and other
sheet iron, &c, giving employment to
many men in the Schuylkill; and
when the city of Philadelphia built the
Fairmount dam it flowed over tbeir
works and water power, and the city
bonght their rights and property, and
White & Hazard bought large tracts of
coal lands in the Lehigh river, and took
their men up there to build railroads, ca
nals r -t<> open up the.- coaLmi nesy
to build a town, &c, all upon a large
i scale. The change produced in the char
i acter and happiness of the working peo
; pie was wonderful. Men from being
( poor, drunken, bad husbands, bad fathers
j and bad citizens, became the reverse in all
i respects And all this was brought about
J simply by the banishment of intoxicating
j temptations from their vicinity. I have
i often heard Mr. Hazard speak of this
i wonderful improvement in the character
and circumstances of bis people from
this cause, the removal of temptation .
Many of you have beard of the great
Wm. Wirt, of Baltimore. When a young
man at the bar at Baltimore tbe Court ap
pointed him to defend a young lad, the
son of a widow, who was on trial fqr
robbing the money drawer of Eton*
where he was employed as clerk ; on the
trial it was shown that the storekeeper
had often left money loosely in the draw
er and elsewhere to see if the boy would
steal ; the young man withstood it all un- |
til on an occasion when his mother’s fur- 1
niture was to be sold for her rent, money
being again left to tempt him, tbe poor
boy could not resist and took as much as
| would save bis mother’s goods. The pros
i ecuiing attorney was very severe Upon
! the culprit, and demanded that an exam
ple should be made of him in an able
speech. In his defence Mr. Wirt simply
read the testimony, showing how his cli
ent had been! tempted, and read from tbe
Bible the Lord’d, Prayer, “Lead us not in
-Ito temptation,” and argued that the
i *tempier of the child was the guilty party
j and not the tempted. The jury thought
i so and their verdict was not guilty.
Now let none of us with whom the
power now vests be guilty of putting temp
tation in our brother’s way, but do all
that each ot us can to vote against license
for the retail of intoxicating drinks. If
Beaver Falls and New Brighton will give
a majority against license on Tuesday, the
14th inst., the county will give a large
majority against it. Let all pray that this
shall be the result. Old Brighton.
—A Washington dispatcb, of January
4tb. says: In conversation, this morning,
Secretary Belknap said that General Sco
field’s visit to the Sandwich Islands at the
present time had no political significance
whatever, and the report that be has gone
on a secret mission is a pure invention.
Gen. Scofield telegraphed tbe Secretary
of War that a naval vessel was about to
sail for the Sandwich Islands, and request
ed a brief leave of absence that be might
take this trip, which was granted. Gen.
Scofield goes upon bis own volition, not
at tbe suggestion of the administration.
Tbe statement that the President is look

also authoritatively denied.

Beaver Falls Chinese Labcw
tiqn scheme, which In form is: 6dl
dressed to the editor oF the
and is partly in answer to the inboh*.
ftiderateand foolish pabUftbr
ed in the 18th of December, issue of
that paper. Without adopting the
views of “Homo” we permit hint to
free his mfnd;
johw chnrin&N va inEßioMi
o AMD BSQUiH LABOR.
To the Editor of the Beater Argue.
Sir:—ln your issue of the l6th ultimo,:
yon take the' liberty of expressing your,
views in regard to Coolie Libor at the
Beaver FSUs Cutlery, and in so doing your
state that "these Chinamen are bone' of
our bone, and flesh of our flesh, the same]
God who made us, made thein, and our’
common Creator gave us the whole earth
as our habitation. * He did not say to us,
‘you live here, and work here,’ and to the
Chinamen, ‘you live there arid work,
there.’ He gave us and them, liberty
go whithersoever we felt inclined, and
wherever our interest led us."
The above we allow to be in perfect
harmony with the Divine will, hut where
do we find it recorded that the John China
man shall be bought and sold in gangs
to satisfy the abnormal appetite of such,
speculators as those at the Beaver
fFallsCutloiy?. | ■
v dohn Chinameu as an individual, and
John Chinaman in gangs bonght, and
fSblct.iby. stich men as Ah Chuck, and
hustled around over ■ the country, (as in
times gone by,) like plantation darkies, to
break down the price of American labor,
is quite a different article, than the
“liberty to go wheresoever they felt inclined
and wherever their interest led them."
We allow tbat the Chinamen, as well as
any other foreigner, has a perfect right to
migrate to this country,or “whithersoever
he may feel inclined,” to better bis con
dition. He has h right, too, to learn a
trade,and to engage in any manner of work
best suited to himself, and at* whatever
price he chooses, and no one will coolest
the affair with him. He wilhsoon learn
better, aiid find that life means far more
to a full grown man than a pint of rice,
and a gargle o£tea a day. His needs will
increase with bis knowledge and. oppor-
tunities.
But we do not allow “that until the in*
trod action of Chinese Labor -into the
works they were unproductive,”' hlfer
ing that through the the
Coolie, that the Cutlery is uow-
insiiiuiion. We would here say ' fearless
of a successful contradicliop. that the
Cutlery don't pay at and
further that all the cheap* Coolie
Labor that they can pije ; iniAiby institn
they have got an elephant , and all the
Chinese junks tbaVthey can command to
carry the beast, and all the John China
man cheap labor that they are able to
cram down the elephant’s throat, will
not prove an antidote, or relieve the
poor brute of its epizootic.
“The owners of the poor beast referred
to above, were therefore obliged to
either procure cheaper labor, or close
up entirely, and they chose the first
alternative, knowing well that a
choice of the second would deal their
town a blow from which it would take
a long lime to recover.” A thousand
times over it would have been better for
them to have killed the elephant that they
had then on hand, than to send for one
hundred and sixty more,which has dealt a
death blow to their town more fated than
had they applied the torch to the estab
lishment.
, These exotics don’t come here to build
towns, or to become American citizens,
neither to have their children educated
to learn our language, that they may en-
joy the privileges of a free intelligent
republic. They are simply birds of pass
age. They roost among us, intending
every mother’s son of them, to go back to
China again, as soon as they can save a
hundred or two doilarsj. With; this
amount, they will be ‘‘retired
merchants” in their country, and will be
“quoted on change," and run theta own
set of family idols.
These Coolies, when they arrive fn this
country, “bunt up work at once, agree to
perform it at a moderate price, and pay
for everything they purchase.” *
When and how do the Chinese “hunt
up work ?” When they are brought up
by the cargo long before they read* the
American shore, by greedy speculators In
human blood, and then sold out again to
the highest bidder to do the damnable
work assigned to thgjn* by their- task*
masters, to cut down the wages of our
American citizens to fifty cents per day.
Men of Beaver county, and Beaver Falls*
see to it that these Coolies pay their
School tax, and County tax, and every
other tax that you are called upoin to
pay, and demand cheaper house rents
from those oppressors of the poor
that are worth; their lf
they want cheap labor, demand cheap
rent and cheap taxes.
The editor of the Arqm will please dis
continue my paper for I can’t conscien
tiously patronize a paper that upholdsa
system that is calculated to injure my fel
low men. I discountenance it in the same
manner that I did the system of American
Slavery. I will not if I know it, use any
thing that is produced by the accursed
system.
You will now please discontinue nfy
paper.
And oblige the late
“Homo" of tub *'Argus”

The Heathen Chinee on a Strike.
—The Chinese are apt. imitators and
quick to iearn.and like Americans,believe
in equality of rights. It seems that the
Beaver Falls Cutlery Company made a
difference in the wages of the first and
second lot of Chinese laborers. The differ
ence was siigbt, and in favor of the first
comers,bnt the last batch won Id not be thus
slighted and demanded to be placed on an
equality before the Coolie-contracting
system under which they are employed.
The affair is not cleared up, and the facts
are somewhat obscured, but there appears
to have been a strike followed by a com
promise of some sort, and now we under
stand everything is lovely and the Orien
tals are smiling childlike and bland.

the pablic that it is safer to buy a good article of
established reputation and of responsible parties
than to risk their money in doubling experiments’ '
Scores of Sewing Machines have disappeared and
left purchasers of machines with np means &
repair or obtaining needles and parts of machines
greatly to the detriment of the Sewing Mach ine
business. The Singer Sewing Machine Company
was first,established in 1846. The rapid progress
of this popular machine In the estimation of "the
public was such that from a small shop over a
railroad depot on Broadway the Company have
now one of the largest manufactories in the United
States, and are now giving employment to over
3,800 hands, and sold last yeat 181,260 machines.
With ample and unequalled manufacturing facili
ties, they have spared no expense to: render the
machine as perfect as it can be made,—it has been
improved as to sew the heaviest and thickest cloth *
manufactured, with <i strong elastic seam as dura
ble os the labile itself. hnd one that will not r\p
or unravel. It will sew the finest Cambric Swiss
Mnslln with equtj] facility. Full and thorough In
structions givqn on each machine, and sold on the
most favorable terms.
