PAYNE of Fairport, Chet:nun county, N. Y., flo• a Society in that place: .ADDRESS. i It would seem that the subject of the temperance reformation ha. 4 been so frequently nod in such Va riety of form, presented to the mind, as to have beCome almost exhausted of argument, and indeed silent observation of every day occurrences must have convinced the most sceptical of the ruinous influence of the tratli~ in alchoholic thinks. The failure thus far of all efforts to subdue this Hydra-headed evil, has furnished too palpable ev idence ,tliat we have to contend with no ordinary foe; tchiporary checks have indeed beely thrown around bill from time to dine, but like a giant aroused from his slumber-, he lets cast off the fee ble tionili, and with merciless ferocity entered anew upon the work i>l destructii in. .The Demon linems perance still lives, and rules and reigus among us, with an almost resi,dess _war. May it Lot he profitable to inquire into some of die cause; which have operated to retard the progress of one of th e noblest enterpriSes that ever employed the mind of man: postom exerts a tyraimical influence over mankind; and its-imperious laws bold the mind in such cdmplete subjection, that few, very few, have the moial courage to're?.ist its claims. tiy a strange perversion of terms, many men yield the most sla vish allegiance to custom, while they imagine them selves the living l embodinteot of courage. A gen tleman is presented with the social glass: does h e hesitate! he is , irery jocosely admonished of his i.. want Of notim , and the Wirtile artillery of ridi cule and dePdri is owned upon hint—the chal lenge is ezectpte .. He Airs ridicule. and to it he basely sucretwileCs the undisputed claims of mor,:, al obligation. Call yon that courage ! Why, di' act itself- has prnived him one of the veriest cow ards in nature; lie has not the moral courage to re: fuss to do what ihe knows to be wrong. Again, some office'of tru e st or profit calls for the election of a candidate, and Multitude's will vote for the nomi nee of a particular party, even at the sacrifice of every principle of morality and justice; they can look unmoved upon the claims of truth and nghte ousness, and reject the clearest admonitions of con science, but, they 'dare not .encounter ridicule. . Men hare political duties, for'the right perform! once of which they will be held responsible to God and their fellow , reatures ; and the temperance' cause owes much of her want of success to - the criminal neglect of those duties. The sin of com mitting the sacred interests of Temperadee to the keepinOsf men Who are - theoretically and ptracti- : cally opposed to her principles, lips at the door of her priesa.ld frit-ick How can. we expect suc- 1 ec3 s,' while men tear down awl destroy with one hand what theylmild up with the other. Many are influenced only-by-moth-es of present personal ' advantage, Such have very contracted views: lit eral! y men of one klea• the dollar fi nd the entire orbit of their viiimi. , -:-they,can neither see above or around it ; and they willdelibemtely barter their heaven-born privileges fol. ti mess of pottage; and they seldom obtainreven that, after all. Itnt they do secure to then.--elves lasting infamy. No man can place himself in a more contemptible po,ition than when. by his public acts. he belies his profes sed principles. He who fears to do right beatt3e it conflicts with a•corruptlublie opinion, had bet ter remain a while longer in the nursery. Another class, of the professed friends of tempe rance, are s-cry courageous when out of eight of thelbe : theic are' the special, leaders in tempe rance meetings, arei very enthusiastic in their cal culations of the utter extermination of the enemy, can discourse eloquently of the duties of •petseve ranee, zeal and etuirgy, in, presence of the friends of the cause ; but Whe - n they are-called to face - the foe and engage in personal conflict, they are gener ally found missing.: Such then are of no use, but "to give aid and comfort to the enemy." They very frequently remind we of -a man why resided in,tlic place of my riativity, - a feW miles from Bos -ton.) during the last was- with England. He ex hibited a great animosity, and wits- vociferous in his denunciations against the British; and; seemed impatient for an oppOrtunity to dkplay, his noble daring in a personal encounter; and I vento thought in my childish ituagniationoliat it would be ex tremely perilous fur. a Briton to set lout un " Bro ther Jonathan's"' Minions , at least in the neigh borhood of.
