Temperance Department. Circttlar JLtettcv [ ' PROM THE WASHINGTON TEMPERANCE .SOCIETY OF BALTIMORE. i To the friends of Temperance' throughout the United Slates, Fellow-Citizens;—-You have doubtless heard of the great and glorious Temperance revolution, which has been inprogress with in a few'tnonths past in Baltimoie.. Hun dreds of intemperate men.have been reform - j cd. Hundreds of families onto, iyrctchcd | *nd miserable, have been nladepcaceful and j , happy. Firesides once the scenes of woe and distress, now witness plenty and. joy. • 'Hurfdreds of habitual drinkers have been persuaded to abandon the cup Of inebriation entirely. Hundreds of moderate drinkers have become "cold water” men. And the former friends of,Temperance have had their hands held,up, and their hearts cheered and nerved anew for redoubled exertions in the cause. Some three or four thousand -per sons have signed the total abstinence pledge. ln Baltimore within about eight months past. : In view of what has been accomplished, and is still doing in this great cause, the friends of Temperance. propose having a orano procession in Baltimore on the sth of April next, which day is the first anni versary of'the formation of the "Washington Temperance Society.” In this-procession it is expected all the societies of. the city will join; and we cordially invito all the friends of Temperance throughout the U nion„to be present and unite with us in the • gladness and joyfulness of the day. , The' procession will be formed in the fore noon. During the same day the Washing ■ lon~Tempcrn.nre Society contemplate laving the' corner stone of a new and splendid Hall. This association was formed less than a year since, and is composed only of grown men. It numbers now about 1200 members, and has several auxiliaries, which number about 1500 more. Besides these (herd are other •societies recently formed in every section of the city, growing in strength and influence every week. .-I From the Temperance Gazette. I am yet talking with the moderate drink er. Don’t aay, “I do not intend to be a drunkard,” we know you do. not, but that suppose therc-nev<?r wasa temperate drink er that had any such intentions, lint your security will not secure you. "The des . c _? n l ,t°- Avcrnus is easy.” v I ntern pernrice steals upon its victims like the Cancer, fas* "Jporngjis roots deep and imperceptibly. Do not say that you can govern yourself. It is the policy of Intemperance to tuke the reins of self government into its-own hands. If you ..can govern yourself .now, get ashore, quickly, while you can, lest the current whirl you-doWiv the-gulf-of-utter-ruin.- • Do not say "you are not accountable for others.” You are! You are accountable for all the evil you do, directly or indirect* ly, and for all the good you fail todo. The , drovvuing-man I arc you not accountable for > bis rescue, because'you did not throw him into the tvaterf You are responsible fur what youcan do, as well as for what vou do do. Do not say you cannot part with vour lib erty. , What is liberty? It is freedom to use all your powers to do right, and make yourself and others happy; You never had liberty to do evil, nor, to neglect to do nil possible good. Bondage in respect to wbiit is evil, surely is'liberty.* Now sec what the effect would if you should abandon the use of spirit entirely. Slim up if you can the good that would follow—-the evil that -would be pre vented; then ask yourselves if you have any liberty to use intoxicating drinks at all. Indeed, loan’s rights never clash. Your liberties and mine cannot interfere. We have neither of us any right to do what con travenes each other’s rights. Now I have a right to live in a temperate community. It is my privilege—my liberty, so to do. Then you have no right to make my neighborhood otherwise than it is my light to have it. It is my privilege to enjoy a quiet Sabbath, and unmolested devotion, and you have ho right to break the-stillness of ray Sabbath,, or disturb the tranquility of my devotions. If your village was watered by a circula ting aqueduct, have you a-right to Vile the waters as they pass your house? But I would pather the waters I drink should bo polluted, and (he air I breathe contaminated, than that moral influences around the should be injured! Part with your liberty! It js your slavery that you part with by rcnounc •ng the .habit of. drinking intoxicating spir its. : VV. \V. JUr. F«« MSurcn, ' It will be' recollected by most of our rca L ders.-tliat the democratic members of the Legislature of Missouri, shortly after the result of. the late presidential election' had been'ascCrtained, nominated Mr._VaN Bb-_ ren as a candidate for re-election in 1644. These proceedings were communicated to . that gentleman by Governor Reynolds.— The Globe of Saturday week contains the reply-Of Mr. Van Buren, 4Voiri"which we make'the following Extracts ' "That I am deeply and carefully.impres-. eea with the zeal and,consistency of that re gard and confidence, so fidly manifested by the General Assembly of the Slate of Mis eouri.as well as by 'many others of my'fel low citizens in various other portions of the Union, under circumstances apparently so discouraging, you cannot doubt for n mo ment. ;lt is on the contrary, in the unfeign , ed respect I cherish for those who have-of fered me these testimonials of continued mt . tachment, that'l find the strongest motives' to meet them at the threshhold; by a flee andfrankeipressiop of my .views andifcelr ings on the subject indicated iif these decla rations of my-Jriemls. • ■’.>/ .

They are inade upon a consideration of the subject, so full and so mature as’ to exempt the views and opinions they express, as far as belongs to human determination, from all temptation to change. No one can expect or should desire to be always in office under a .Government and institutions like ours; and I have enjoyed that privilege long enough to satisfy my ut most ambition. i With regard to that vital consideration •which, in' the estimation of a wetl organized, mind and ah honest heart, will always, be inore; deep and impressive than the mere trappings of office—l mean the conscious ness of rectitude of purpose and .the estima tion of friends—l'think 1 cannot be mista ken in believing that I could, .under no cir cumstances, hope to do better.

This feeling constitutes a dan gerous ingredient in political operations, and from no one could an attempt fo check it proceed more properly than from myself.” From the Savannah Republican; March 8. THE LATE BATTLE IN FLORIDA. The U. S. steamer Beaufort, is just in from Florida, bringing'us the .following in teresting letter: from one of our correspond ents; Florida, March 4, 1841 Gentlemen:—Another flower is added to the wreath that decks the brow of our gal lant, but abused little arm; in Florida. The battle of Orange Creek, by Lieut. Albertis, fought day before yesterday-, though a small one, is seldom surpassed, in skill, bravery and the .utmost perseverance. . While sit ting in the door of his tent at 'Fort Brooks, Lieut. A. heard the crack of Indian rifles, immediately succeeded by theirydls, in the direction of Orange Greek Bridge, - He mus tered his men, and found that after leaving a small guard, at the Fort, he could com mand but 23. With-theSe he .sallied'forth, and by a hurried mar.ch soon came upon the savages in large numbers and poured .upon them a shower of ball and buckshot. This caused the' woods around to ring With their yclla/and brought upon him what was evi dently the whole band of Aleck Tusteen uggee, long known to number from 70 to 100 warriors. Lieut. A. and his men re turned-the "war whoop,” with.imitated In dian ferocity, and thus the battle raged for. half an hour, when the Indians took .to the hammock, leaving Lieut. A. as'he supposed, - master of the field—but It was a ruse to cut him off from the Fort, as the Indians, strctch ing.across in his rear, soon attacked, him with redoubled effort, but were again driven to the hammock, with considerable loss, as several .were seen to'.fall and be carried off, By this timolheammunitionwasexhaust ed,’ and finding the Orderly Sergeant, a Corporal and 3 Privates severely wounded, Lieut. A. returned to the Fort.; But he did not return to rest. He had not yet ascer tained the cause of (he first firing and alarm; and fearing for the fate of a small party sent by Him that morning to Fort Russel I,smiles off, for.provisions, he put his wounded into the block house, and with 18 soldiers, again set out for the bridge, and .passing the scene of his contest, soon came upon the dead bo dy of Corporal Long, who bad 'been "on pads?’ hunting.

Lt. Aiburtis, in a few moments, fell in with the Indians, and an action commenced which lasted upwards of an hour. Our brave men-were forced,to re treat, but did so in good order, keeping up a continual fire untif tbejy ammunition was exhausted. Being cut off Trout (heir own mst, they retired (o'Fort Russell. Capt.

On the 25th of July, 1814, (he bloody battle of Bridgewater and Lundy’s' Lane took place near the banks of .tli'e Niagara.—• It was' six o’clock, and a sultry evening, when the- British' forces under Gen. Drum mond .advanced to meet the American col umns; and a more deadly 1 contest neVer raged on the soil of our beloved country than that which then commenced; die roar of the neighboring cataract lost itself id (ho booming of the cannon—-the voices of many waters and the voices of battle, sang bass together—and the dead.slept in sweet forgetfulness upon, ,the moonlit hill. The first brigade, Gen. Scott, with Towson’s artillery and a body of cavalry, sustained the attack of (he British army fur an hour unaided. Gen. Ripley with fresh ' troops now, arrived, and, relieved 'General Scott, .while tjie latter, with his exhausted brigade, formed a reserve i,n the rear. The British artillery had taken post on an cminence'at the head of Lundy’s Lane, and were pour ing forth a most deadly fire; on the Ameri cans. General Brown, the, commander of the American forces, seeing the terrible' havoc made’ by the epemy’s cannon, con cluded that it was necessary to dislodge them or retreat.. It was a dreadful duty. The troops that were to march tip Lundy’s Lane might as well say their prayers and make their wills.:before moving. It was certain • death to every second man tn the forlorn hope. As the commanding General rode albflfg the foot of the hill, in thoughtful mood, .lie saw the brave Col. Milleradyanc ing at (behead of his newly raised regiment for further order.' He rode up to him. , ' e General rode on, and. the regiment gallantly wheeled and moved up Lundy’s Lane. At every rod the artillery on the height sent its mes sengers of.deatn through the dense column; but still there was no flinching. The voice of the noble Miller as he waved his sword before the-bloody gap, was heard uttering 11 e short arid, expressive . orders, ‘Steady mcrisS-close ranks—march?’. Around him the flower of his regiment fell like the with ered leaves of autumn; but he.heeded not his loss;, he was ordered'to falcethe battery o« <he hit I,' and r be dn t ended- to %lo v}". '' Hfe’ advonced therefore, coolly and Steadily to his object. Amidst a tremendous blaze of 1 artillery, and-at L the point‘of the bayonet he carried the height. X,t was a gallant deed. I have never beard of its eqOal except at the seigc of San Sabastian. It was superior iiLtemcrity to Bonaparte’s attack upon Little -Gibraltar, .at Toulon, because Miller s had, no covering fur his troops in case of a retreat: It was a dead march to glory; yea, at every step the rear rank- trod upon .the dead and the dying, and-the groans of a suffering hu manity mingled with, the hoarse rattle of the drum.. When the conqueror, with his renuiarit of a regiment, trod upon the. heights of; the head of, Lundy’s Lane, and . turned the cannon upon the astonished enemy, a death struggle ensued between the American and British armies. .“These guns will decide the battle; they-must bo or the army of Britain will be cut to pieces, and if regained, the Americans will be conquer* ed.” Such were the thoughts of each Gen eral. Now came the iron gripe of war. A terrible conflict raged upon the height; and, when the morning . sun rose upon Bridgewater, I,GOO soldiers, friends and foes, lay sleeping in gory death upon the hill side of Lundy’s Lane. Surely, the batr tic of Bridgewater will never be forgotten -by the patriot, the historian, or the poet;— and while the laurels of a Scott and a Ripley are green and unfading, let us not forget that the gallant Miller is alive, and that his country owes him n debt of gratitude which she can never repay. She, however, can say with her children when asked to aid him, as the hero said at Bridgewater to his commander when called upon to render him service, "I will try sir.” Let her try, for the sake of her honor; and may the day never dawn when the herb of Lundy’s Laii'e shall be-forgotten by an American citizen. We glory in the service of the braves. May tlie laurel circle the victor’s brow-in: life, and at last- hang upon a Broken column over a deathless tomb! .<. . - ' Oct. 25, 1812, Dec. 29, 1812.

When Robinson was arranged on Thurs day, charged with, the murder of Mr.-Suv dam, president of the New Brunswick Bank, the court room was crowded to ex cess., His counsel are Edward Wood arid David Graham, Jr., of New York city. A motion to posfpone.-the trial Was discussed,- but denied by the Court. While the dis cussion was going on, the unfortunate man appeared deeply.anxious for the result, and when it was announced and the day of trial fixed, (Tuesday,) he appeared much agitated. He is tall and slender, of.not ah unprepos sessing appearance, and is much emaciated; He was neatly.dressed in a suit of black;— his manner and the awful situation in which he stood, could but impress the beholders with the Tearfulness.ofthe act. which had brought him sphere he stood. Late on Wednesday evening, only ten. jurors had been Sworn in. A New York paper says— . , .'■ “We are informed, from the best authori ty. that one day last week the .wife of the u nfortunatc man,’Robinson, made . applica tion to his keeper.to permit her to carry to him a.canjfilled with soup. Which was as sented to on condition that-she should drink a part thereof; in order-to test the fact as to ahy deleterious, drug being mixed therein for, the purpose of self-destruction. The wife having consented to drink a certain portion, took; the vessel and raised it to.her mouth, and as she proceeded to drink,; a Sound was heard thatinduced the keeper to suppose that all.was not right and he took the can and emptied the remainder of the contents, and therein ;/ound a razor, which onbeilig discovered. was shown to the wife, who was Bpontanconsly accußed ofthe intent tusupply the means, ofseir-destiuction.which slicdidnotactu al|y deny, but her.taciturnity,rather implied .her intent.”; * . r , Aug. 20, 1812, Oct. 18, 1813. . .anual exports of Cincinnati are estimated .at ; i}9,(Ulb)bQo,'Viz; pork and beef iii all forms, $3,OOOiOOO: flower,®!,2oo,ooo; whis kfey,®7pO,ooo;ihnnufactaredartlQleß of:ell kinds;' $3,000,000; and tbe residue miscellaneous articles of produce. -• ■ 'I?, -t TRIAL OF ROBINSON." ■ - It will be seen' by the extracts given-be* low, tlmt in various places, this document,, when first received was denounced, as a base “hoax,” by tire supporters of “Tip & Ty.” They were unwilling to.believe that Harri son would send forth as his Inaugural such a budget of- pointless, trash. Paragraphs were pointed out by them, and denounced as ridiculous nonsense, entirely, unfit to form part of a school boy’s declamation, much less that ot the President of the Uni ted States upon the solemn occasion'of tak ing the oath of office. His frequent refer ences to Greece and Uome, Scipio mid C»- sar, Bolivar and< the English, were' pointed to as prima facia evidence that it was a mere “hoax,” got up by the rascally Demo crats for the purpose of detracting from the fair fame.of the new -President. ■ The arrival of the mail, however, settled the question—the document, with all its imperfections, was found to begenuinc, and that which but a few hours before was by them denounced as ridiculous trash, by some magic influence, suddenly assumed in their views of if a very different appearance ‘‘so far from carrying the hoax upon its faee, n it was pronounced an excellent paper—just such a document ns was expee'ed from Gen eral Harrison: ’ Pittsburg Mercury. From the Ohio Statesman, HARRISON’S INAUGURAL. . Haying thrown this extraordinary docu ment of the ‘telder Brutus, and of the Cur tii and Decii”—“of Camillas and Scipios” * °f Oitav’us”— and “Anthony,” before the world in advance of the lazy whig establish ment of this city, the whole tribe of feder alists declared upon honor that it was *a . fraud, orjioax. Thcy_pulnlciUout-passagcs~ which they declared carried the hoax upon their face. Many of them went so far as to make five dollar'bets thatijtyvas not the real genuine, pure and unadulterated thing it self. The Journal folks stood aghast over it,.and were afiaid -to touch the horrible fi;aud oh Old Tip.. Such a thing as that, the Inaugural of Old Tip! It is a trick of the Ohio Statesman —some of Medary’s schemes to play a trick on us. Why, says one, look at the egotism of the thing; ho modestpld soldier would write'such stud’ about his own services In the field! -Why, in it. .Why, there is no sense in any of it, cries another—did'you ever see so long a document with so few ideas? Another made the full discovery that it was a hoax'because old Tip’s-name was mot to it,-forgeltinglhat the Presidents never put their names to their .Inaugurals, T,’ T’ T’ says another, runs all through it,, in violation of all propriety— oh, its a hoax—a disgraceful hoax.’ A whig of a little more shrewdness, than (he rest, cried out, T would give fifty dollars' if::it were a hoax.’ And we can speak for hosts of others. |o“Tlipy would give fif’y dol lars,yea, five fifty, if it were all a hoax! But there it is; spread 1 before the worhlr—and the people will make their own comments. - From !he. Erie Observer, HOAX—LAST—BEST. The Inaugural'mcssage of President Har rison arrived in this-place in the Globe al most twenty-four hours earlier than in any other paper—the National Intelligencer, ar riving the same day and of the same date ilid not contain it. It was published in an Extra Observer about six hours earlier than in either of the whig , papers of the place.— This excited some surprise, and the leading whigs read it over, and over again, and at length pronounced it an entire hoax, got up in ridicule of 'Old Tip.’ Our neighbor, Mr. Perley, of the Chronicle, however persever ed in getting it out in an Extra, but Mr. Cochran of the Gazette entirely declined, (after putting almost two columns of it in type,) declaring, as we understood, to those who enquired of him the reason, that it was evidently a hoax. We are, also, credibly informed that some of the most active lead ers of the whig party called upon the editor of the Chronicle and desired him to desist, declaring their firm conviction that it was not genyine. Mrs Cochran, in a-conversa tion with ourself, with a kndiVing wagof. the head, declared his very .strong doubts of-Its genuineness. The arrival of the next mail, .however settled all doubts by bridging the selfsame message in accredited’whig par pers, and a powerful'effort is now making in their ranks to say pmans in its praise.— So far as we have seen, they have not been able -to make their mouths 'go off’ yet, but we expect to see them succeed soon.
