C. NE:VILLE, LSI/. This is a day of national rejoicing, and ae are as sembled to participate' in the general feeling—a day which we celebrate in remembrance of that glorious Declarittion of American lind:pendence which you have now heard :read by Cul. Baird---a declaration which has proclaimed and from the principles it con tains is' destined to extend insure and accompli-h the univirsal freedom of man. On this day and upon this occasion a illy passing remarks in relation to it cannot be inappropriate. When this country was udder the donut:ion of Great Britain, the govern ment endeavored to impose taxes upon these colonies in every respect inimical to their interests, to aid and support ti:stitutions vvfireb were oppressive and bur tberisome. At this seemingly unpropitious moment, o ben the gloom was general, when the tie of filial all; cuort which bound the colonies to the mother country was about being rent an unnatural disunion —the spirit of liberty which had::been through ages seeking an abiding place—and had but drooped her wings as she passed u'er other lands, directed by'a supermtending God, hastened to these shores. Here .she found breasts ready to receive her. She made hei home in the hearts of the men of '76. They animated by her spilt, cheered by the hope, the con fidence sheAnspired, were enabled to make even the most / unfavoratile circumstances conduce to their .‹iiCCess. It i 4.4.1.11 1 .1, 'eta for me to mention ghat he tory attests. They fought and conquered ; and that era we may date as Ito dawn of political liberty. The men who achieved the great work of American independence, who uttered this matchless declaration of the rights of man. were eminent fur temperance and 'moderation in religion, in politics, and especial ly the mariner of their lives. They h,ve presented the world with the striking proot of the great good that may be done by a few temperate, united and ref solute men. \V hat have they accomplished ! They have transmiited to the enjoyment of eighteen mil lions of peopri - teeedorn, an extended country—pus- Sessed of every variety of climate and of soil—the blessings of peace, and every element for, the perfec tion of their present and future happiness. And as long as America remains a nation, as long as her name is inscribed en the scroll of time, will endure their glory and their fame- Shall rye ',y intemper ance cast aside these blessings which heaven and earth have united to bestow to otir use, and we trust for future generations ! No. ILis our duty to leave [h-m pure--and undefiled to our children. Our de sire to do so must be manifested by temperance. By it alone may they be preserved arid perpetuated.— Unto you. niernbers•of the Pottsville Temperance S.iciety_, I say that upon this the anniversary of your i celebration, you have made a declaration which ri ' vals in purity of principle and sublimity of design, that. ithmortal one of American independence—and I be who affixes his name to the temperance pledge, signs a release froin - IrlOfal degradation—a release 1 Iron a the slavery of the soul..

S. - 01.11* reverend pastor is to receive your thanks. To him yOu owe a debt of gratitude, which you can only repay by firm adherence to the cause he has espoused with such signal success. IThe imposition of taxes is the highest and most . I hateful exercise of Legislative power. It was oppo. woo to its unjust use that caused these colonies to 'separate from Great Britain. It was to avoid these intolerable beirthens Of taxes and tithes, which redo.- _ cad .) ourselves and families to squalid misery, that you tied to this country:voluntary exiles from your native land. Is it not therefore inconsistent with ex.-- cry correct principle of human action, that you should by intemperance impose a tax upon your. selves, more pernicious and destructive in its effects, more demoralizing-and hately than any which des potism or tyranny might inflict! Such is the tax intemperance imposes on its votaries. We learn from the scriptures that God made man after his o*n likeness—did he make perSonally or mentally sii 1 Le .suppose the Almighty to have hands and feel formed as ours, is an absurdity; the mind alone bears a true similitude With .God. It is there he has set, up his throne and established his temple among men. Oh, then, how lamentable are the thoughts, that we by intemperance Should de face the linage of 7the great Creator, that we should desecrate tits temple—that we should prostrate that 'living principle - to a level with the inweit grade of cleated beteg.

If then in temperance !vas your crime—temperance in all things must he your antidote. I am now about to speak of our - Country's prosperity. Give three cheers, as:Dan O'Connell would say, for Repeal and the la dies of Kilk6ny. The time is fast approaching when our countrymen will commence tl e grand struggle for their rights, their watchword must be lealperance, heir countersign Liberty, and their battle cry Repeal, Repeal, Repeal, thundered to the throne in one continuous and universal shout—the moral reform has taken place—a political one must soon (d 0.. ., Tie clouds which have hung over the fairest and most fertile spot that reposes on the bosom of thO Ocean wave are breaking away, dispel led by the p enlal rays of the Sun of 7 emperance• England 'cannot—nay, dare not refuse the just de mands of sii millions of temperate and sober minded men. This, is the foundation upon Which is to be raised the superstructure of Erin's freedom. Who is to receive our gratitude when she is emancipated 1 . Father Nathe•c, O'Connell an others may have thrown in diet'. mites ; but the Apostle of Temper- ance alone is worthy of your fullest gratitude and esteem. Oh, Nlathew, ancient end modern nations may boast of their warriors, statesmen, moralists, pi eta, reformers, philosophers and churchmen, but take them all in one concrete they would not form a char acter great as thine—thy glory is immarcessible. Ireland has been held in slavery by intemperance; this May appear to be a startling statement, the.e l i - fore that you may know I do nut make it without foundation, ,I refer you to the siege of New floss, in . 1798. Are-there any of the tnegar htll.boys pres ent I Are :th.ere any of the Croppies here ! If so let them bear testimony. The facts are as follows: The British ann . ! occupying Ross were attacked by the rebel ori.as we would say the patriot army—the English were defeated and driven from the town with great loss—the place was invested by the rebel forces, who had a clear road from thence to the Cap ital. Giving way to' thewildest excesses el their joy, they opened the distrlleries—confusion and up roar for a while prevailed, but at length all was si lent, and the strong men who bad that morning fought bravely for their country's freedom were re duced by intemperance to a •piliable and contempti ble tuabicility. The English General taking advan tage of their situation, re-entered the town and plant ing cannoti at the extremities of the streets, almost annihilated the rebel army. Oh. if pity ever dropt a tear,. it fell then. Not aliMe for the awful mariner of their deaths, but also for the drunkard's eternal doom. Ten thousand blo,,dy and mangled corpses choked the streets of Ross on that eventful night. Thus in the moment or victory Intemperance robbed us of its re wards. Our countrymen are about to pass the Rubicon, let us not forget they are our kindred and friends. they seek our sympathy, our approbation. They do not demand as many erroneously suppose a separa tion from'England. They want the right of freemen equal rei-Esc:dation. We would be wor=e than recreant ,traitors, if in their struggle to gain it we refuse our countenaner; They are about plunging into the stream' on this side is Intemperance and Slavery; on that Temperance and Liberty —the pledge is on their brelists the pure fire of patriotism in their hearts. And holding aloft,, as they struggle with the waves, their petition “f Repeal, they will gain the opposite shore. And as the sounds of victory swell upon the winds, let America re-echo the shout that Ireland LS free. LOOK TO TiOS, PARENTS.-` , If he had brought me up properly, I should not have been here," were the last words of Peter Robinson, who was hung in New Brunswick, (N. Jersey.) for the murder of Suydam. This monster in the form of a man, had been perinitted while a,boy to do pretty much as he pleased. Like too many in the present day, be was subject to no restraint. Insfead of being made to work, he was allowed to lounge through the week and to fish on the Sabbath—and as might have been expected, he has come to a disgraceful end. Whst must be the feelings of the father's heart, when his felon son reproaches him with being the author of his crime or• ignominy ? Parerits, remember the dying words of Robinson ; If he had brought me up properly, I should not I hare been here." INPOITAIET MOVEMEST IN CC BA.—Some of the principal proprietors of agricultural estates in Ha vana have addressed a spirited memorial to the Cap. tern General of the Island, praying him to take prOmpt'and effectual measures fur the suppression of the Slate Trade. They representthat it is to this traffic that they owe the displeasure of England, the efforts of the Abolitionists and the great increase of the number of their • natural enemies' on the Island. It says that there are now 660,000 persons of color on the Island, or about 60 per cent. of the whc• population. In 1775 the colored population num bered only 36 per cent. More than this, they state I that there are 900,000 disciplined free blacks' in Hayti at the disposal of England, 400,000 on the South of Jamaica. 12,000 in the Bahama Archipel ago and other islands in their neighborhood, increas ed by es many more wrested by captures from their made* - , : ar,. i.: 1 .: r ici .,, .. . zi ; ;t,.. _ It, +G , It. a. vr. , : , '‘ .1; ° ` 1: ' ' A -: • l'a '' . _ , t ...., . 1 " ,: ~: , -.'
