. ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE COM
MITTEE OF THE CUMBERLAND
COUNTY TEMPERANCE SOCIETY
TO THE CITIZENS OF CARLISLE.
The objects of this address arc not spe
cially to call your attention to the evils
which exist among us,as the consequence of
intenfpcrancc. These begin-to'be under
stood; and their magnitude''and universal
diffusion are now generally acknowledged.
.Nor are its objects primarily to call atten
tion to our own efforts fur-the removal - of
these evils- While the young and the old,
the rich arid lire poor,-and all classes and
conditions of society throughout our county
-are annuuljy furnishing their quota to fill up
the. ranks of the intemperate, so,often bro
ken by death; and while all the machinery
is kept in operation by which tliis work , of
e: : ruin is perpetuated among us, we feel • that
there is little occasion for self applause or
mutual congratulation. Neither is it any
part of our object; to set, forth hud defend.'
the principles of the - temparance-retWina
lion; .Wo speak to those who understand
•which we represent are also understood,—
Our pledge, and our. mode ’of operation
are before the public.'
The object of this address is twofold. It
- iajirst and maiuly (6 call the attention ol
the friends of public order, social happiness
,and who are not now pledg
«d to the temperance cause, to the investi
f ation of-its claims on your attention. And
ere, too, ivc leel that there is no occasion
for argument- What was the state of tilings
in every part of our Country, in regard to
the use of intoxicating liquors, fifteen, or e-'
—yen ten years, pgo, Compared with the pres
ent? And whpt was the temlency, and what
the prospects, as regards the perpetuity of
* this dreadful scourge among us, compared
with the present tendency and prospects.—
Consider the change that has taken place in
public sentiment, and in all our social am
domestic habits; and then think that all this
lias been effected by the agency of these vo
.notary , In view of this single
consideration, we feel that we can with con
fidence commend this subject to the atten
tion of the friends of man.
If so much has been done by the little ef
fort which has been, put forth, uhat could
not be effected-in ten years to come, were
( the talent and the influence of the virtuous
pait of-our community properly concentra
ted on this point. We would not conceal
it if we could, —and surely we could not if
■we would, —that our ultimate object is, to
remove all the evils which the use of intox-
icafing liquors lias produced, together with
their cause. The time shall come when a
drunkardshall not be;knu,wii in' Cumberland
- county; and when, intoxicating drinks will
neither be manufactured nor sold amungus.
Whether this period is remote, or near at
liand, depends entirely , on that class of our
fellow citizens to whomthis appeal is made.
' The field of operations which, at the call
of circumstances, the Executive Committee
of the Cumberland County Temperance So
ciety now occupy, is one hitherto unoccupi
ed by any of the friends of temperance in
our county. , It commends itself to bur
judgment, as affording scope fur no lets ef
fective-action, than the. one in which we
. have heretofore labored; and in view of this,
we feel no special inclination to change our
position for any other.' Several’societies in
the county have already been.re-organized
by our aid and influence; and it is believed,
that an interest is spreading on the subject
qf temperance wherever our Borough'.papers
have circulated.
We believe, there are hundreds of citi
zens in our town, who approve our course,
and who are ready to aid es in our opera
tions. But our present system of action ex
cludes us from addressing suchexcept thro’
the press._„ The influence’ of*wir personal
addresses is all given to build up other so
cieties infhe county, Or to the introduction
of this subject where it has not heretofore
been discussed. In view of this peculiarity
of our. situation, we make it a secondary ob
ject-of, this address, to stale that ive have
resolved, at an early period, and subsequenf
ly Iron) time to time, to circulate our pledge
through the Boiaugh—putting it into cverv
house; that we may know who those are who
are' willing to co-opdrate wi tlnis, nritl wi ih
us to constitute the Cuhbkrla.nO Countv
Temperance Society. ICT* Those who have
signed our pledge before, are requested to
' re-sign it, if they wish still to act with os
andtfbencourage us in. our labors; and all’
others, who are willing to take on themselves
the obligations-whifh the pledge imposes.
From the avowed enemies of temperance
•we havenpthing to expect; but of tlie pi o
fessed friends of the cause, we have a-right
io ask, at. least that they, wilt not hinder or
Impede its in our., work.

■subsequently called(or by a committee of t Sir. Sevier moved to strike out from the
the society title of'the bill the words "and log
cabin thereon,” which was 'agreed to.
, Mr. Crittenden then moved that the Sen
ate take up: the bill to establish n uniform
system of bankruptcy. ,
■ Mr. Buchanan said he had voted against
the bankrupt bill at the last session, and
might probably feel compelled to do so at
the present; nevertheless, if the friends of
the measure insisted on its being taken up,
he would interpose no obstacle in their way.
But we were how within four weeks of. the
termination of the session; the bahkropt bill
would give rise 1« an extended discussion,
and it could hot be passed in time to give
it the least chance, in the oilier
Mouse. ,He therefore appealed to’the friends
■of the bill whether it was proper to set aside
all. the pressing business of the session in
order'to discuss a measure which there was
ho probability of passing; oj- whether it would
not be better to postpone the consideration
•of'thc bankrupt bill until (lie special ses
sion which it was.generally understood was
to be called, and to devote themselves to the
consideration and perfecting of the many
bills now on their calendar, and to pass those
measures which live public exigencies de
manded. •

The Progress of Father JUalhoti'.
TEMPERANCE. i
The Irish Apostle'of Temperance was
' still, at-the last-dates, engaged in the earn
est ami successful prosecution of his palri
, otic anil philanthropic labors. He recently
visited the north of Ireland} where he made
thousands of converts. Ho then visited the
City of Dublin, for the third, lime, tvhere du
ring the short period of three days he dis
tributed Temperance Medals, and adminis
tered the Pledge to jjo less than Ihirly-Ihree
thoitsand persons.. Lord. Morpeth, and sev
eral other Government Dignilaries/chcered
him on in the good work, by their presence
on the ,platfuym, and he announced at. the
closeof the third day, that the Irish-Tem
perance Society then consisted of over Ihrei
millions of members. -
All classes of Society, from the highest toi
the lowest, seem to vie with each other in
doing homage to the virtues and labors of
this truly great and extraordinary man. The
Earl of Glingall and Ids Countess lately
complimented him by a. magnificent enter
tainment; But his greatest triumph is in
the hearts, and his surest reward is. in the
prayers of the converts. How many deso
late hearts has this single individual bright
ened! How many families has he raised up
from the dark depths of degradalion& crime!
Many of the neighboring nobility and gen
try attended thc entertaimnent above allu
ded to, as well as hundreds of the Earl’s
tenants. The Rev. gentleman made a speech
of the most eloquent and impressive char
acter, In proof of the ettects_of lids mighty
moral revolution,' we may state (hat it has
been .officially ascertained that (he inanufac-
Jure of spirits was less by Ihiei millions Jive
hundred thousand'gallons* in the year end-
Ing-Oqtober 10, 1840, than in the preceding
year. The consequent- loss in revenue is
close upon five bundled thousand pounds
sterling. A man, who by liis individual and.
indefatigable efforts, has effected suclf an a
mount of good among Ids countrymen, de
serves to be remembered with gratitude and
affection by every Christian and philanthro
pist in the world. His example will‘be
pointed out with eulogy and with the object
of prompting others on in“t|ie righteous and
sun-fit p'alh. of civilization and Christianity
for ages to come. ' Time will only, impart
additional brightness to Ids efforts, while the
.tyi.l.l-,refer to ..him ;as.:
he lived.
As a further illustration of theeffects of
this delightful reform, we give the following
sketch from Mrs. Hall’s, Ireland; — PhU'ml.
Inquirer.
“We entered.one clay a cottage in a su
burb of Coikj'a woman was knitting stock
ings ajt the door; it was as neat anil comfort
able as any in the most-prosperous district
-of England. We tell her brief story in her
own words, as hcarly as we can recall them:
‘My husband.is a wheelwright, a,nd always
earned his guinea a week; he was a good
workman, and neither a bad ipa'n or a bad
husband, but the love for the ibink was
'strong in him, and'ft wasn’t often he brought
me home more (hair five shillings out of his
one pound on a Saturday night; and it broke
my heart to see 1 the pour children too ragged
to send to school, to say nolhingof the star
ved look they had out of the little I could
give them. Well, God be praised, he look
the pledge; and the next Saturday he laid
twenty-one shillings upon the chair you sit
upon. Oh! didn’t 1 give thanks on my ben
ded knees that night! Still, I was fearful
it wouldn’t last, and I spent no more than
the five shillings I was used to, saying to
myself, may be the money will be wanted
more than it is now. Well, the next week,
he brought me the same, and, the next, and
I the next until eight weeks passed; and glo
ry be to God! there was no .change for the
bad in my husband; and all the while he
never asked me why there was nothing bet
ter for him out of his hard earnings; so I felt
there was no fear for him; and the ninth
week when he came to me, 1 had this table
bought, and these six chairs, one for my
self, four for the childrcn, and one fur him
self. And I was dressed in a new gown,
and the children all had new clothes and
shoes and stockings, and upon his own chair
| I put a bran new suit; and upon his plate I
put the bill and resale fur them all.—just the
eight sixteen shillings,they cost that I’d sa
ved out of his wages, not knowing what
might h.appen, and that always before went,
lor drink. And he cried, good lady and
good gentleman, he cried like a baby—but
Itwas with thanks to God; and now where’s
the healthier man than my husband in the
county Cork, or a happier wife than myself,
or daccnter or better fed children than ou ;
own four!”

MR. McLEOD,
The Buffalo N. Y, Commercial of the 28th
,ult„.stated that the day before McLeod was
released from prison at Lockport, under
bail, but that Ire wiis immediately after be
ing liberated, sei/.ed by a band of armed
men, numbering between. 2’and, 300,.and
forced back again to prison. The Commer
cial of the following day says that he was
re-committed to jail to protect him from
popular-violence.
A letter from Lockport, in the Rochester
Democrat, gives the following particulars—'
disclosing, certainly, a very remarkable and '
very discreditable slate cif things: •
■ Lockport, Thursday, 12 o’clock, .night.
1 have just returned from the Court House
and jail, where there is, or wasa short lime
since, assembled'lron) 250 to 3QO citizens,
who say that McLeod shall not deliberated,
although Judge Bowen admitted him to bail
this afternoon, and Captain Wm. Buel Ue.-
came bail.
The Judge gave the order to his (McLe-..
oil’s) attorney about seven this evening, and
in 40 minutes 100 men were in and about
the court house and jail.
' A meeting was organized in the court
room, while 40 or 5.0 guarded the 'door be
low, some witli muskets; while the drums
and bugles outside must have made McLeod
feel gloomy, lie was not allowed, to see
the sheriff or any one else.
A committee'was appointed to sec Judge
Bowen and ask him to surrender him, or j
rather withdraw; his name from the bojid.— l
The committee had not returned when 1 left.'
1 fear it will be .much, against him if he dues
nut do so.
A messenger has gone to Buffalo, that the
owner of the Caroline may be here to pros
ccutc for private damages! &c., should 1 'the
authorities insist oil his liberation. The'ex
citement-is very great.
Most of our best citizens are indignant at
Judge Bowen for admitting him to bail. If
they let him go, I mistake the men I left at
the Court. Moused
Two o’clock— morning. —l found Judge
Bowen addressing the meeting and attempt
ing to exonerate himself. Buef did nut ar
rive, but I understand he will surrender him
,in4he morning, to which time uhe meeting
adjourned, although many will remain at
the jail till mprning.
The cannon was brought in the front of
the court house about 12 o’clock and com
menced firing, arid, made the glass fly in .the
comTliouse, to the amusement of tile patri

editors of the Georgian, have received the
following intelligence from their correspon

Harney’s second expedition has resulted in
his capturing and killing 16 warriors. Ma

and captured six warriors, making a total of
66,- • '
We are all lookingfor a speedy termina

posts, tending, ns it does, towards such a
consummation of ouryvislres,
January 27, Capt. Barnum has returned
to Fort Russell, (Ire. camp of Halleck-tns
ic-nuggee was discovered within seven miles
of Fort KUssell. He got wind of the troops
and escaped. Capt. Barnum captured 3
squaws, one child and 3 ponies.
Union of, the Canadas. —The NcwJYork
Herald says that it learns, by recent intel
ligence from Montreal, (hat Governor Gen
eral Thompson will issue his proclamation
on the 7di inst., declaring the-Union of-the
two Provinces, and for (he assembling of
tire new Parliament at Kingston-in May
next, n hen the experiment of a new govern
ment in a representative form is to be fully
tested.
.Bailed. — Tl is-staied in a Pittsburg pa
per of last Saturday; that Dr. Braddee, the
principal person concerned in the extensive
mail robberies,-has been discharged on bail
by Judge Irvine. Tire bail given was to the
amount of 51'20,000, Braddee himself, be
coming bound in 60,000, and twenty-two of
his neighbors from Uniontown in a like
sum.
Iron Mountain. —lt is stated in the
Woodstock, (Va.) Sentinel, that it has re
cently been discovered that a mountain in
that vicinity, known as Patlih/ Mountain, is
almost entirely a mass of iron ore; the ore
in bilge rocks projects from the earth in nil
directions, and. upon actual experiment
PSftves to be very'valuable, yielding seventy
per cent, after being fused.
Tunnelling the Mississippi. —There is
a proposition to tunnel the Mississippi river
at New Orleans, the arch to be made ol cast
iron instead of stone. We should judge
that would be rather a,difficult matter, in a
soil where you are sure to find water if you
dig down two feet.
English Mines. —lt is staled that (he av
