back beyond the Carpathians, all the north ern gorges of which range he now oocu pies. But a victory which even the Austrian Government journals do not daie to deny, says the Democratic, is that gained by Bern over a Russian column of 25,000 men seeking an entrance into Transylvania bv the Rothentliurm (Red Tower) Pass. He allowed the enemy to penetrate to llie very extremity of the valley, where he was read}' to receive them behind some forti fications which he had erected lot the pur pose. While tho Russians were attacking these works the Szekler Mountaineers sud denly appeared on the heights of the defile, thus threatening both flanks and the rear of the enemy, whom they destroyed by rolling rocks upon them fimn above. — Terrible confusion instantly appeared in the ranks of the Imperial force and a flight instantly took place among them, leaving a third of their whole number on the field ul battle. The Hamburg Correspondent announ ces the success of 'tcm in these terms : ••Bern has sought the frontier of Russian iroops from Tenzin to Kublo. More than 70 Russian officers have gone wer to the j Hungarians. The Hungarians mean to > avoid a pitched battle." BADEN. TjonJon June 2. —According to the Co- 1 Jogne Gazette, complete teriorism prevails in the Grind Duchy of Baden. Everyday j the Insurrection is increasing its forces by the arrival of bands of ragged fellows, who cause terror to the inhabilans, and compel them to lodge them. .Me,ternich, former- J Jy chief of the barricades at Frankfort, is j acting ns commissary of the Government at Heidleberg, where he kepps open house ' and compels the principal inhabitants to i mount guard at his door. Fearful disasters have taken place at j Lanterbach, on the Baden frontier. A popular meeting had been caalled ; the President, who interdicted it, went to the place of meeting to forbid the assembly.— He was received with gross insults, and •vhile in the act of reading the riot act, ; was shot through the body by some cow- i ardly fellow who was standing behind him. Not content with this, the barbarous mul- ; tilude dragged the scarcely lifeless body on ; the ground, and completely mutilated it with clubs and hatchet 9. Upon this the Hessian infantry made a desperate attack | upon the insurgents., whom they dispersed, i killing 50, wounding a great number, and ! making 123 prisoners, who were taken to ! the prison at Mayencc. Among them was ! Fusth, the ringleader of the insurrection, i and President of the democratic assembly j The troops had three men mortally wound ed, and others slightly. Letters from Heidelberg of the 25th ' state that on the previous day a combat look place in Darmstadt. The people at- I tacked the casjle. A captain and many ooidiera were killed. At Beiliieim, the j curate, Sprenger. was arrested for having j said that those soldiers who took part ! against the people were perjured. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. —The j fortress ofFrcderica has not been bom- j barded since the 14th, but sorr.e heavy ar tillery is expected to join the blockading j tirmy from Rendsburg. It is thought that the Schleswig-Holstein troops, after effect ing a practicable breach, will endeavor to storm the fortress. While rumors of peace are pouring in from all directions, the Regency of Schleswig-Holstein contin ue raising recruits in the Duchies and ad ding to their means of defence. The Kolner Zeitung has advices from Copenhagen of the 20th ult., stating that the Danish Diet have voted the proposed fundamental law for Denmark, with a ma jority of 115 votes. PRUSSIA. —The German Journal of Frankfort of the 27th says —"To-day the Archduke John received a categorical note calling upon him to resign his authority into the hands of Prussia, on the ground that Prussia no longer recognised the cen tral government." BAVARIA.—A provincial government was proclaimed at Spire on the 22J inst.— The red, black, and gold flag was display ed from the cathedral on the 23d, amidst the ringing of bells and the acclamation of the people. RUSSIA. —The Gazette de TAllemange Occidentale, dated Cracrow, May 20, con tains an account of a grand council of war having been held at St. Petersburg, at which a protect was made against Russian interference in the affairs of Europe. The Emperor was much irritated, received this advice wiMr a had grace, even insulting some of the senators. The President of the Council, Jerrnoloff, rose and told the Emperor that Napoleon by his obstinacy ruined himself, and his Majesty might meet the same fate, and then the general quitted the chamber. The same journals contain intelligence that several plots against the Emperor have been discovered at St. Petersburg!).— Many officers, and even geneials, were ar rested, and instead of being sent to Sibe ria, were at once bung. It would appear that the aimy is discontented and that is the reason of the guard having been sent from St. Petersburg!!. The Leipziger Zeitung has a letter from St. Petersburg of the 21st ult., sta ling that the houses of several members of the aristocracy have been searched and f-ome of the inmates arrested. The num ber of arrests which have taken place is quoted at 100, most of thcrn officers in the f'uardsand vouog noblemen holding ap pointments under the Government. Tley were immured In the fortress of Cronstadt. ' ~ KV THE STEAMER AMERICA. The Steamer America aruved at Hali fax on Monday afternoon, with seven days later intelligence from ail parts of Europe. Affairs on the Continent had undergone no important change, though events had been neither few nor trifling. PRANCE. — The formation of the new Cabinet has been effected bv a coalition be tween Odillon Barrel and Dufauvre. The new Ministry is the same as the old except M. Dufauvre who tabes the Department of the Interior, M. DeTocqueville that of For eign Affairs, and M. Laqueneas that of Commerce. I'lie Message of the President of the French Republic to the Legislative Assem bly is published in the Paris papers. It I fills four columns of the European 'I imes. After reviewing the important events which have taken place in Europe during the past year, the Message refers to the i. Roman question, which left no alternative | fo r prance but to oppose all intervention in favor of the Pope, which would have been equivalent to a general war, or to aid In placing him in power again. The President alleges thai it is the destiny of France to shake the world when she shall be agitated, and to tranqinlize it when she shall he in a state ot peace, and adds : "As soon as 1 shall have power some important questions must be discussed respecting va rious European niatteis beyond the Rhine and Alps, and from Denmark to Sicily there is an interest for us to reserve, and i an influence for us to exercise." ROME. —The Paris journals furnish in telligence from Rome to the 22d inst.— Hostilities had not then commenced. Gen. Oudinot had denounced the armistico. The Pope still persists in demanding an unqualified renewal of his powers ns tein porul ruler, and that the Triumvirate, j backed by the people, decla.j they will j never concede. Mazzani's determination is most profound and determined to ac complish the thorough destruction of the ! Pope's temporal power. He says we shall show fight to the last against all projects of restoration. IRELAND. —Lord Clarendon has official- j ly announced that th„ sentence of death pronounced on the State prisoners lias been commuted to transportation for life. HUNGARY. —Hungary presents no new feature, and since ihe fail of Buda into tho hands of the Hungarians no event has oc curred calculated to have a permanent in fluence on the result of the struggle, though the Hungarians have, however, achieved further, and in some respects important j victories. The combatants are concentrating their foices and accounts of a tremendous battle ' are every day looked for. Tbe Austrian General VVelden has been superceded by Gen. Haynau. Prince Paskowitch will command the United Aus trian forces in the ea?t and Gen- Haynau in the west. The latest intelligence from Venice left the Austrians under Marshal Radelsky, who was prepaied to bombard that city, which was closely invested on all sides. It is reported thut the King of Sardinia i has placed his army at the disposal of the Hungarians, but the report requires con firmation. The Frankfort Purliament has determin ed to exercise its influence to form a Re public after the French model, to be corn- j posed of Baden, Wurtemberg, Rhenish Bavaria, AJC. The plenipotei.t arie9 of Prussia, Han over and Saxony have promulgated a new ! Constitution for Germany, in which the principle of utuveisal suffrage is conceded. FROM CALIFORNIA. By the arrival of the steamer Crescent City at New Orleans from Chagres, news from California to the Ist of May lias been received. It was brought to Panama by the California, which had been so long de tained at San Francisco by the desertion of her crew. The accounts confirm all the previous statements of the abundance uf tlie precious metal; indeed, lliey are far short of the reality. The steamer Panama had arrived at Panama and sailed for San Francisco ; together they had taken all that were wait ing a passage at Panama. The California would 6ail on the Islh inst. for the same destination. The California brought to Panama ONE MILLION dollars of California gold ; six hundred thousand dollars of this amount are on consignment; the balance belong ing to some fifty miners who returned to her from the scene of their labors. The California market appears to be overstocked with everything but provisions. There were sixty vessels in the harbor from different ports of the United Slates, South America, and the Pacific Islands principally passenger vessels. Col. H LUHES, Capt. TILOH.MAN, and the party of Fngineers who have been for some time past making explorations for a Itail Road across the Isthmus, arrived at New Orleans in the Crescent City. They have explored a fine road, distance 40 miles. California Emigrants. The St. Louis Republican of the 4th inst. contains the following letter, dated Fort Kearney, Nebraska Territory, May 18th: 1 lie Mormon mail from ilie happy val ley of the Salt Lake has just dropped in upon us, on its way to the frontier. The ice is at last broken, and the inundation of gold diggers is upon us. Tho first speci men, with a large pick-axe ovot his shoul der, a long rifle in his hand, arid two revolv ers ami a bowio knife stuck in his belt, made his appearance here a week ago last Sunday. He only had time to ask for a drink o {buttermilk, a piece of gingerbread, and how "Jur" it was to "('uUrforncy,'" and then hallooing to his long legged, stab sided cattle, drawing a diminutive, yellow top Yankee wagon, lie disappeared on the trail towards the gold "diggins." Up to this morning, 45G wagons have gone past 'his point, and this is hut the advance guard. Persons who have come through hurriedly from the frontiers, nay that every road is j lined. One of the men with the Mormon mail j 19 just from the "diggins" in California, ' and is certainly a happy fellow ; for 'it* says that he has as much gold as he wa* ts. He showed a stocking full as a specimen, and as you may well suppose, the emigrants opened wide their eyes at the sight of the glittering mass. Mav 19th.-The cry is 'still they come.' Yesterday ISO wagons pissed here, mak ing iu all, 630. <®rC&fitil &rtfclro. Tor the Gazelle. Causes of Failure in Business. Mr. Editor —The huge number of Fail ures that have occurred in this section within the last few years, should naturally draw the attention ol those entering the busy scenes of lib* to the causes that pro duced this slate ol things. A writer in a New England paper has furnished data, ready to my hand, from which 1 propose to show the astonishing aggregate amount a small daily expenditure will reach, when compounded with interest. From a table published in the paper referred to, it appears that Amounts to.

There are few me chanics who cannot save daily, hy abstain ing even in part from the use of tobacco and cigars, ardent spirits, cakes, candies, ice creams, oysters, and a dozen other things, twice or thrice the above stated amount of a six cent piece. The man in trade, who can lay by about one dollar per day, will find himself possessed in that time of one hundred and sixteen thousand dollars, and numbered among the wealthy of the land. 44 Few people estimate the large sums to which the yearly saving in personal and household expenses will accumulate.— Four thousand dollars a year is not an un common expenditure fur merchants in ci ties. Half a century ago, five hundred dollars would have been regarded as u sufficient expenditure. The difference be tween these two sums for fifty years, with the accumulation of compound interest, reaches the enormous amount of over ot:o million ot dollars. Extend the tune elcv. en years, and this sum, as it is, be comes doubled. 44 The preceding calculations are suffi cient to encourage hope of eventual sue. cess and independence in the bosom of ee ry young man, who, on commencing busi ness, wiil maintain a determined resolu tion to combine industry with economy, and also to warn him, that without econo my, the opposite result of bankruptcy is frightfully certain. 44 With this plain statement of actual re sults before us, it cannot therefore be a matter of surprise that the present general prevalence of an unrestricted indulgence IN SHOWY HABITS OF Ilk ESS AND OF llVIXfi, should cause the failure of nine tenths of the men who embirk in business, and in volve also the prudent uud cartful, on whom must fall liie losses caused hy reck lessness and extravagance in every form. 44 The true value of money consists in the rational use of it. Economy becomes a vice in the miser, whilst extravagance becomes on the other extreme, a vice in the spendthrift. The golden mean lies be tween these extremes. Hy applying avail able gains for the procurement of rational comforts and enjoyments, and for advance ment in moral and intellectual culture, wc fulfill the highest destinies of our nature." 1 commend this subject to the young and giddy, especially, who seem to ima gine that unless something is spent daily for their gratification, they nro deprived ol one pleasure less in life. Let them look for a moment into the future and calculate what amount of money it will t ike to sup port them in such a caieer, and then ask themselves " M here is the money to come from /" l| a young muii, just arriving at years of maturity, he knows what he earns andean therefore readily tell, not perhaps what he.has made, hut what he has saved during the pust year. Though enjoying a situation worth Irorn twelve dollars a month to §25 or §3O, nine out of ten find they are not worth a copper more at the end of the month than another who does not re ceive ono half that pay, hut who wisely lays up a part of his slender means for n " rainy clay." Again, if a young lady in dulges in jackdaw vanity and peacock pride, how does she expect to get along when united to sorno young man who has to make a living by mechanical or other labor ? Unless she lays aside fashionable j dresses and oft-repealed luxuries, she will prove anything but a helpmate to the man who has chosen her, probably without a knowledge that she was thus inclined. Hut I am not disposed to scold the girls wiih a long homily on their peccadilloes in these matters—for though thev number among them perfect devils in temper, pride, and sedt conceit, the majority are ever rea dy to devote themselves, heart and soul, in ministering to the comforts of those around them, and need but the restraining mud of parents or warning voice of a friend, to turn them from an unprofitable and dan gerous path. AN ADDRESS ON Energy and Perseverance: I Delivered before Tempera*:* Dieidon, AM. 370, < j ihe Sons of Temperance, at Levistoim, un Wednesday Evening, June 13, IS-IT B V II EN R V FRVS 1 N T aF, R WORTHY PATRIARCH : In conformity with a resolution, adopted by this Division a few weeks since, 1 this evening appear before you in the capacity of a lecturer; and owing to the peculiarity of existing cir cumstances, it is by no means singular that 1 should feel more than ordinary sensations of I embarrassing diffidence. Fully sensible of my ; own inefficiency, conscious that I am address ing Brothers, whose age, experience and talents ' command for them a far more exalted intollec ! tual position than 1 d ire* presume to arrogate, i arid aware that I am about to express the, per ! haps, puerile sentiments of a youthful mind, to i be weighed in the intricate balance of mature wisdom, 1 cannot hut entertain unpleasant mis j givings. But having, notwithstanding my car nest protestations, been appointed to discharge ; this duty, and stimulated by those principles of energy and perseverance, which constitute, I hope, a good trait iu the character of your bumble I servant, 1 determined, if possible, to concoct a i production which would at least merit atten ! tion ; for it were presumptuous in me to hope to lie edifying. In regard to the result of my labors, 1 have no apology to oiler. The subject to which 1 shall direct your at tention, and upon which i propose to base my remarks, is simply ENERGY AND PERSEVERANCE ; two words probably implying as much impor tance, replete with as much interest, and pro lific of as much ratiocination, as almost any other that could have been selected. If we retrospect the past history of the world we will find that the combined principles of en ergy and perseverance occupied an equal, if not a more conspicuous position than any other primitive characteristic manifested by nigh. From the remotest periods of antideluvian ages down to the present day, they have demonstrat ed their prerogative in a multiplicity of in stances and a diversity of forms. Their essen tial influence and invincible power are felt and acknowledged by all men and all nations. En ergy and perscveranre, as exhibited by man, are like the impregnable rock of Gibraltar, that has proved invincible to tiie most determined and contumacious attacks of every foe ; they are like the mighty wave of the ocean, that rolls irresistibly onward, overwhelming every obstacle that crosses its passage : they are like the stupendous avalanche, that is hurled with tremendous velocity down the mountain-side, breaking through and destroying every resisting impediment, and never halting until lodged in the depth of the valley. Nothing, in truth, can successfully counteract the onward progress of these principles; they are overwhelming in power, unoscillating in action, and infallible in execution. We all know that they have been prominently instrumental in executing nearly all the important actions of men; they have been the guiding-star of all momentous projects, the handmaid of every extraordinary accom plishment, and the executioner of every radical : reformation or improvement. It was these principles that have brought the world to its present elevated climax in civilization and en lightenment—it was these tiiat effected those mighty revolutions in the moral and political world that have tended so consummately to the amelioration of man's condition—and it is these, and these alone, that have thus far and are stiii surmounting every impediment that presents it self in the onward progression of the arts and scieuces. In fact, there is perhaps no other dis ! tinct qualification to be found iu man, which is ! j so essentially necessary to his existence, and which so materially contributes to the augmen tation of his happiness and prosperity. With- ! out the principles of energy and perseverance, man would be little better than a living autom aton—incapable of effecting important objects, unfit to superintend complicated operations, ! and comparatively unqualified for the transac tion of the most finite business of everyday life, j What actual benefit would accrue to society : from the existence of such individuals ? Would ! that man be calculated to promote his own or ! ; the community's interests, who was a total i stranger to energy and perseverance, and who ibrunk from every projected enterprise. s Would j that man he an efficient or fitting member of i society, in this advanced age of science and ; progression, who was frightened into imbecility j at the first presentation of misfortune? Cer- * tainly not. Energy and perseverance are as j necessary to man's existence and prosperity on , this earth, as rain and sunshine are to the j growth and perfection of the vegetable king dom. Without these, he can effect little or no- j thing, whilst with them, little there is that will successfully array itself against him. As regards the practical utility of the ele ments of energy and perseverance, we need hut j refer you to the past to demonstrate that they ! are truly the Alpha and Omega of all important j and enterprising operations; that they arc the ! fundamental instruments by which all striking j ai.d distinguished events have transpired : and ! the chief medium through which those, whose { names are immortalized by distinguished deeds j or remarkable attainments, have been enabled so successfully to climb the pinnacle of fame. I No remarkable epoch in the history of man has ever taken place without the propelling influ ence ot thi"-c principles—no important revolu tion, in social, political, or religious institu tions, has ever been accomplished without the exercise of indomitable energy and unflinching perseverance—and never yet has a celebrated j warrior or distinguished statesman acquired his j imperishable reputation independent of these j cardinal principles. What was it that dispelled j the opaque mists ol ignorance and superstition, 1 iu w hicli the world was enveloped during the "dark ages," and spread abroad the lllurnin- j ating light of true Christianity? What was it \ that rent asunder the shackles of tyrannical : despotism, that ground down our forefathers, '• and firmly established that republican liberty and independence of which we are so proud to ! boast? What was it that lias recently created such powerful convulsions iu Europe—already 1 placed the liberty of France, it is hoped, upon an unoscillating foundation—and struck the proudest potentates with unaffected terror and ! consternation? What was it that has unequiv- ; orally established theories and sciences that at i one period were denounced as fallacies and j hallucinations? In short, what was it that has i elevated man to his present high state of per- ! fection, in polity, literature, commerce, arts, j and sciences ? It was twrgi/ and perseverance ! these are the characteristic and substantial elements that successfully buoyed up those who ; were directly instrumental in consummating I all tins ; and, indeed, it is to these elements that we are indebted for nearly all the radical bless ings with which we arc so redundantly sur tounded. In lact, little there is of a monien tous character that has ever transpired, or been < .leeteil, without calling into requisition the I combined exercise of energy and perseverance. I l ew (if any,) remarkable events, eminent ! achievements, distinguished discoveries scien title improvements, radical reformations'trium phant revolutions, or individual attainments have ever been accomplished, which do not ! owe their consummation to these fundamental prineiplos. But, behold the extraordinary utility and rffi- ' ciency ot energy and perseverance, as demon- j strated by single individuals, whose names have been rendered conspicuous, by actions of an illustrious character. Cast your eyes over the j pages of history, and read of a Buonaparte i Shakespeare, a Washington, a Franklin, a Hen ry, and an innumerable host of others whose i Klines shine like brilliant meteors in the firma ment ol distinction men, who, although born ! in the unpropitious arms of adversity, perform- ; Ed a part upon the. stage of exixtenre that has rendered immortal their names—men who gal lantly fought in the great battle of fame, and reaped an abundant and enviable harvest. IluJ I ; these men been bereft of energy and p never- j ; auce, is it. rational to presume they would have j i attained to that exalted position which their ! j names now occupy ? 'l'he answer is eniphati- ! : cally NO. It was "the indefatigable exercise of ■ these characteristics that exalted, and still ex ails, men to the brilliant and much courted pin j nacie of glory, it was only by the most indom- i ; itable energy and perseverance that the illustri ous Martin 'Luther and Melatichton achieved [ : their stupendous religious reformation—a refor- j i mation which successfully regenerated nations ! I that had for centuries been steeped in the mire ! jof base ignorance and dark superstition. Chris- I | topher Columbus, too—that great man who, ■ ■ notwithstanding lie was poor and penniless in I : pocket—although he met with obstacles and 1 I opposition from the learned of his day, and with j | rejection upon rejection from the reigning sove reigns of Europe—yet, pursued his project, j digested, plans, and concocted expedients, until he realized his great, his all-absorbing, and ail- ! important desideratum, ile, too, is an illustri- j I otts example of tiie almost omnipotent power of : these principles. Then again, there is our own immortal Franklin—he who chained down the very lightnings from heaven—the patriot, the | I statesman, the philosopher. Where can be | ! found, in ail the past history of the world, a i more striking example than the one here pre- ' i sen ted ? Benjamin Franklin first emerged from ! the gloomy shades of adversity—bereft of the ■ smiles of fortune, denied the advantages of a | liberal education, anil early thrown upon his I own resources—yet, that man achieved pro jects, demonstrated phenomena*, and eonlribut- j ; ed to scientific knowledge to such an extent as ' called forth the admiration and amazement of the profoundest philosophers of that or any ; , subsequent age. .Next the linger of retrospec- ; lion points to ilobert Fulton, the celebrated in- j ventor of steamboats. He too was obliged to | | combat with powerful adversaries—his project was hooted at, and himself denounced as a mad man. But did Itobcit Fulton bow his head to public opinion? History responds a negative. Firmly, arduously, and perseveringly he pur sued his purpose—undismayed by derision, and unappalled by denunciation—and what was the result? He consummated one of the greatest discoveries ever made known; and now that man, who at ope time was jtronouriced an idiot, is looked upon as an extraordinary genius and a profound reasoner. But it is altogether needless to multiply instances to establish the great utility of energy and perseverance in the i prosecution of important operations. Exam- ; pics illustrative of this fact are within the ken i of every one. Thousands of individuals are ; now living, whose own experience produces ; abundant evidence of the practical efficiency of i these two great characteristics. Cast your eyes around you, for instance, in this mighty repub- i iican nation of ours, and who do you find occu- | : pying the most conspicuous positions of public i : trust? Where are the most eloquent orators, j profound philosophers, eminent statesmen, or I distinguished writers? Who are the brilliant luminaries at tbe bar, in the pulpit, of the press, in short, in every practical vocation of lifer Are they not those who were obliged to fabri i cate their own fortunes, and who attained to distinction by their own exertions ? I ask, is it not an osten&ive fact, that the great mass of prominent men, in all ages of the world, were those w ho, being born upon the rugged couch of adversity, were compelled to exercise the most indefatigable energy and perseverance in order to surmount tbe many obstacles that im peded their progress up the ladder of eminence? But, having thus far found that the combined exercise of energy and perseverance is emi nently necessary to the prosecution of all im portant undertakings, as well as that it al most invariably proves substantially potent, the mind intuitively draws the inference, that such principles should he cultivated in a degree com mensurate with their importance and utility. With perseverance and energy, a man can and tniot meet with success iu the pursuits of this life: whilst without them, his failure is almost equally certain. And it is an equally obvious fact, that no matter in what condition or situ ation of life an individual be placed ; whether lie occupy a high or an humble position ; whe ther engaged in the execution of stupendous projects and hazardous enterprises, or in the simple discharge of the duties involved in the common routine of everyday life, he will find these principles absolutely indispensable to his prosperity and success. The clergyman, who labors to exterminate the morbid atmosphere of sin and wickedness that still overhangs the abodes ol mankind—the patriot, who has the interests ot his country at heart, and who de sires to see such measures adopted and executed j as are most consonant with the prosperity of the ; people—the philosopher, who urges the intro duction of new theories, whether theological, philosophical, or metaphysical, to the eradica tion of long-cherished ideas—the philanthro pist, whose exertions are devoted to the aug mentation of the social and political prosperity of tiie human family—the youth, who aspires to intellectual attainments, public distinction, or imperishable fame—all require the influence of these great principles, before they can behold the consummation of their hopes or ambition. But, whilst energy and perseverance can be exercised and are absolutely requisite to the promotion of any enterprise , their influence can nowhere be directed in a more commendable ; channel, than that of promoting the atncliora- ! tion of man's temporal condition. And, never- i theless the civilized world has arrived at an i exceedingly exalted position, when compared ] with the past, yet there is still an extensive ! field open for the labors of the philanthropist. | In a republican government, like ours, where ' no aristocracies are suffered to exist, and where 1 every individual is permitted to exercise his j peculiar capacities without restriction, it more i especially becomes the duty of each, to have ' regard fur and pay attention to the wants and ; condition of his fellows, as well as to conduce. I as much as lies in his power, to the general j prosperity and welt are of the community at ' large. .Now. whilst ft try one can in a greater j or less degree promote social prosperity in the community in which he lives, there are certain classes ot persons who could very extensively anu materially subserve this end, by bringing into requisition the principles of energy and perseverance. But, amongst the various onpor lumties ottered lor benevolent exertions, there are none manifested more conspicuously than those presented to the Sons of Temperance. A Soni of temperance has a broader and more prolific arena, for the beneficial exercise of these principles than, perhaps, any other indi vidual to be denominated. To "demonstrate tins, we have but to point to the incalculable amount this institution lias already contributed to the augmentation of social happ'incss and in dividual prosperity. Where, I would ask, is a community to be found now, that has not felt i the ameliorating influence dispensed bv this dis- I tinguished Order. It has enervated the mighty ' sceptre of power, which King Alcohol former- j ■y wielded to such an unlimited extent; it has loosened the Gordian knot, that hound so many < human beings to the malignant and hideous de- ' tnon of dissipation; it has manifested its influ- ! ence by the diminution of crime, the retrench- i mem of wretchedness and misery, and conse- ' queiitly, the augmentation of happiness. Such lias been the happy result effected by the Sous ot 1 emperaiice. And may their exertions never cease in tins praiseworthy cause; hut may they continue with undaunted zeal to prosecute tin's gloat work ot social reformation, until the nil Mr " r i ' ) v,l,tess th indefeasible an nihilation of that subtle bane of our race. But o accomplish this, energy and perseverance are cmmonHy necessary. Let every member ot the Order strenuously exert himself iu pro moting the subjugation of intemperance; let! every Brother employ Ids influence in reform- 1 mg the drunkard and reclaiming the drain- i drinker; let all simultaneously ronerate swelling tiie niiinhii of efficient men u •. ri4iitx> (>t our Order, soon u tio*t •, progress will be di-playee sentiments, would be avoided, if every Sou •" 1 emperanoe would co-operate in pursuing ti.j course. And now. in conclusion, allow me to say one wMird in reference to Temperance Division", .\o. 370. This Division has but fairly set sail upon the turbulent ocean of existence—scarcelv step ped off tbe threshold of infancy—and conse quently *the more urgent the necessity fori manifestation of zeal and energy, on the part of its members. But, we have ari abundant pros pect before us for the prolific and advantageous prosecution of benevolent operations. If we cast our eyes around us, we w ill find that our community is still deeply engulphed in the mu cus waters of intemperance—intoxication, with its many corrupting comcomitants, continues to stalk abroad with unabashed impunity—hun dreds can be seen daily quaffing the poisonous dregs of tbe " damning bowl," to the disgrace of themselves and the degradation of society— and it but Deeds the potent exertions of faithful and benevolent Sons of Temperance, to effect i reformation in this condition of affairs. Then, brethren, let us take hold of this great wc: as we should do—let us firmly gird round the plated armor of energy and perseverance unfurl the banner of " Ixive, Purity and Fidel ity —draw the swords of reason anil persuasks —rush boldly on to the great battle-ground of intemperance—and soon this community will present an aspect, which will reflect brilliar,; laurels of honor and credit, not only upon the Division to which we are attached, but upon the glorious Order of Sons of Temperance 3 large.
