MR. EDITOR :—Two charges may be preferred
againat the VRNDER of ardent driatics. Ist. He
paupers and perpetuates a depraved appetite al
ready formed. 2d. He creates that appetite.
1. Let us suppose that a depraved appetite is
already formed—by what rule of morals shall
the vender be allowed to continue and consum
mate it 1 Who will justify a druggist if he
constantly sells arsenic to another person whom
he knows employs himself in poisoning his
fellow-men 1 But here guilt is one step further
removed from the victim. The merchant sells
to the dealer in small quantities that which he
knows can do only evil;—the vender distributes
it to those whom he sees are ruining themselves
by its use. The trembling nerves—the glaring
eye—the faltering tongue, until strengthened by
drink—the tottering limb—the bloated Counte
nance—the boastful exploits—the pugilistic
spirit—the clamorous eloquence—the fancied
wealth—the midnight revelry—the smutty song
—exhibited by frequenter of the bar, betray
the corroding habits—the downward treading of
their victims. That these things increase and
grow from year to year, these venders know—
yet
they sell, whether the first glass or the last
it matters not, they sell to all within their reach.
Thus among them they pamper and increase the
drunkard's appetite, until it is consummated in
delirium tremens and death. Sometimes he
may wander from one bar to another ere he is
satisfied for the day—but among them the work
is done—and the drunkard goes down into the
drunkard's grave. Will the wailings of child
ren robbed of their bread, arrest the dealing
hand 1 No. Will the pleadings of the outraged
wife ? No. Will the remonstrances of friends,
or the entreaties of the virtuous in the commu
nity? No. "If I do not some other will" is
the reply—and so he who began at the fashion
able hotel to sip his rum, ends in the mean and
filthy groggery, loathsome, ragged and despised.
The work is done—no one doubts who did it—
at was the company of venders. This charge
is thus fully substantiated by the results, by all
the results of their traffic—it is confessed by
their own pleas, for they apply for license to
sell to those who wish to buy—and it is con
firmed by the death of every one of 30,000
yearly victims—the united verdict of society is
killed by vender A 4. Co." We are perme
ated that the following language is not too strong
Hard must be the heart that bleeds not, cruel
indeed the nature that weeps not, while survey
ing the emaciation of the body, the bloated
ghastliness of countenance, the paralization of
nerve, the poverty anal consequent meanness
that slowly, it may be, yet surely ereeps on
their constant customers ; and their consciences
must be callous indeed if they permit them
without loud, tormenting and reiterated accusa
tions, without awful forebodings of future retri
bution and fearful lookings for a fiery indigna
tion, daily to observe and hourly to promote
in their victims the gradual prostration of in
tellect, the destruction of honor, the oblitera
tion of shame, the forgetfulness of religious ob
ligation, and even of common honesty, the loss
of delicate feeling, the withering of reputation,
the insensibility to character, in a word, the
destruction of the man, and his transformation
first into a brute, and then into a fiend, which is
the constant and palpable effect produces in
their hell-assisting manufactories."—(Creick
shank, in Per. T. Doc. p. 120.) We repeat it
—the work is accomplished. By whom ? Not
by the temperate—not by those who neither
sell or drink—it is then, the work of the compa
ny of venders ;—there is no escape from the
conclusion. Some do not give the first glass,
some do not give the last—but the drunkard is
continued a drunkard—grows a worse drunkard
—and dies a drunkard.
11. The vender creates the depraved appetite.
I never sell to a drunken man"—says the
smiling publican. But this does not help out
his case. If he never sells to a drunkard, he
sells to the moderate user, and according to his
ability, strengthens the appetite for drink in
that moderate drinker, and helps to make him a
drunkard. The first glass is the key which un
locks the door, the second removes the bars—
the third lifts the latch—the fourth drives out
Sobriety and settles Insobriety in the house.—
As many days or even months as we have coun
ted glasses may be necessary to accomplish this
--bitt it is done—and the youth or the man or
woman from. temperance is converted into a
moderate user. Ile that induced the future vic
tim to use the first glass, is responsible for the
formation of the appetite—and may be more
criminal in the sight of God than any other who
may administer the glass in future. That first
glass may be the wedge which splits to pieces
the character, the approving conscience, nay
the soul itself. Ir is the first glass which is
so fraught with woe. It is the little' at first
—and then, (because used at first, used again)
—it is this little which accomplishes the dire
evil in the end. But whether it be by one glass
or a thousand moderately used (for in many
persons' estimation there is no defined limit to
this « moderate use")—the appetite is formed,
and the appetite must be satisfied. The drunk
ard's disease is contracted—and it is a disease
which is contracted only by falling into the
hands of the merchant or the retail vender;—
were there not inen of these names there would
be no drunkard's. Were there not genteel ven
ders, there would be no ungenteel venders—
were there none to form the appetite, there
would be none to pamper it. Were there no
genteel drinkers, (moderate sippers—unpledged
drunkards—just initiated users) there would be
no sots—no bloated bruitish drunkards. Why
does the wife or the mother fament in flowing
tears over an inebriate husband or son I Be
cause he learned to sip in moderate use the se
ducing drink at some genteel bar—there is Pan
doras' box, and he who opens it lets out upon
himself the dire calamities of the drunkard- 1
these venders, therefore, who never sell to
drunkards--only inoculate with the poison
which vitiates the taste of the temperate and
prepares them to die of the plague" of drunk
enness. This part of the vender's business,
we are inclined to believe, is the worse. If
any other consideration is needed to evince the
IMMORALITY of the traffic, and the GUILT of the
Tensile., will some opponent tell us what yet
remains to be proved T
You and our readers, Mr. Editor, will have
observed that in the previous argument con
cerning the immorality of the traffic, &c., we
have seldom referred to scripture for proof or
itineration. We propose now, briefly
V. To consider THIS TRAFFIC IN THY LIGHT
OF Goo's WORD. And
FIRST. It is wholly unreasonable for any one
to demand a positive and express prohibition of
this traffic in sacred scripture, for at the time
they were written, no such traffic existed, or
was supposed to exist as that which we have
developed. The wines, whatever they consis
ted of, were unadulterated ; or if so were com
paratively unknown. No such vice as that of
distilling and ,nailing ardent drinks such as
are now the ardent drinks of Christendom, was
then known. flow then could our Lord and
his Apostles condemn it by precept 1 We ad
mit, therefore, that there is not found a positive
condemnation, in express words, of this nefa
rious business—or, of this "sacrilegious traf
fie" as our General Assembly called it in 1837.
It is said that the Emperor Tiberius offered a
reward to any one who would invent a stew
pleasure—(in allusion to which probably the
Apostle Paul in Rom. I 30, condemns "in
ventors of evil")--and every one must perceive
the possibility of gratifying that debauched
Emperor's wish. The same thing might occur
again and again. It has occurred. New evils
are invented by mankind, new sins, and new
forms of sin are known to us which are not
known or spoken of in the Bible. Some per
sons of late years have killed themselves by
fumes of charcoal burned in a close room—a
mode of dying, of suicide, as little spoken of in
the Bible as is the traffic in ardent drinks. To
expect that the Bible would descend to pectic
, niers, describe every mode of transgressing its
precepts and its spirit, is as much enthusiasm,
as to expect the most unreasonable interference
of Providence to deliver us from personal dan
gers into which we may possibly plunge our
selves.
SECONDLY. There are however general pre
cepts which cover a great many cases—and to
all moral actions we may apply a test found in
the spirit and intention of the Bible.
Ist, Then, suppose we examine the command
Thou shalt not kill" in connection with
this trafic. "It does not say thou shalt not
kill with a knife, a pistol, or a halter ; it does
not say thou shalt not kill with opium or with
arsenic, nor does it say thou shalt not kill in an
instant or a day, or with malice prepense, or
with a real intention at the time to kill, or for
the sake of making money. But it lays down
the broad principle, and throws around that in
estimable treasure, human life, the mighty
rampart of divine command: " THOU SHALT
noT KILL." This utterly forbids the taking
away of human life, by any means in any case,
except for reasons in view of which the Bible
justifies the act. If a man throw a stumbling
into the high way, for sport, [or places any
other impediment in the way] when he has rea
son to believe, that it will endanger human life,
and a man is killed by it, he violates the com
mand. If a man lets loose a beast which he
knows is want to kill, and it does kill, he vio
lates this command and [for this act the Mo
saic code reqired the death of the culprit,] if
a man pursue a business or do an act, the natu
ral and probable consequences of which are
death, and it produces death, he violates this
command. It is an immoral business or act,
and is forbidden by the word of God. What
now, are the natural and propable [nay, inevi
table] consequences of selling ardent spirits to
be used as a drink ? does it tend to kill ? does
it really kill ? [yes says the unprejudiced judg
ment of mankind at large,] in the judgment of
the most eminet sober physicians, the highest
evidence in such cases, and that which is relied
on in courts of justice, the facts are, that ardent
spirit is not suited for drinks and cannot be
used without injury ; that it is a poison which
naturally tends to kill; and actually does dill a
great portion of all who do drink it.—(see V.
Rep. Am. T. Soc. and Per. Doc. p. 403, 404.)
We need only add to these considerations, that
, we suppose, of all men in the world, the mem
, bers of the synod of Philadelphia, and the offi
cers and churches under our care, will be the
last to deny the principle here contended for, for
it is but the same as is given in the Shorter Cat
' chism and in the Confession of Faith, in the
exposition of the 6th commandment, and see
Shaw's Expos. of C. of F. and Patterson on the
I S. Cat.
2nd. There are other passages of Scripture
beside the moral law which are directly in hos
tility to this busines-4 , Whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you do ye even so to them."
Does the vender deal, in accordance with this
precept, with the wives and children, or the
sorrowing mothers and fathers of the inebriate 1
To determine this, if his own family are tem
perate, let him suppose that another vender se
duces them into intemperate and ruins them.
"Does he say, he does not sell to drunkards,
but only to sober men." So much the worse.
In either case he is violating the positive com
mand of Jesus Christ. (see Per. T. Doc. p.
406-409.)
3d. " Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self"—What vender obeys this injunction—
while he generates and fosters disease, poverty,
crime and death?
4th. If it be "good neither to eat flesh or
drinZ wine, nor to do anything vherehy a broth
er stumldeth, or is scandalized ti.e. Rom. 14 :
20, surely it is much evil to do that which di
rectly causes multitudes to stumble, become
scandals and perish. (Compare i. Cor. 8 12,
10: 31 to 11: 1.)
Not to pursue this obvious argument farther—
we
observe that riiousAsms of Ministers of the
Gospel, Judges, Jurists, Lawyers, Physicians,
and christians admit the force of the reasoning,
ash have asserted it, in their Ecclesiastical
meetings, and from the Bench, and from the Bar,
the Journal of Physic &c.—and what is better
thousands of those who were OW distillers and
retailers acknowledged the truth, and in conse
quence thereof have abandoned totally the trafic
in many instances much to their temporal loss.
This consideration may not have weight with
the wicked, but with all virtuous men it will.
To illustrate this part of our subject, we will
again relate an anecdote. In the neighbor
hood of Richmond, Va. lived a wealthy distiller
and grocer, who was a Presbyterian elder. This
business he had pursued for years nor thought of
I the harm. In the course of time, one of his
neighbors who had been getting poorer and
poorer, and whose property he had absorbed,
died of drunkenness; and upon the settlement
of the claims the last piece of property of
the enebriate fell into the elder's hands. The
widow roused by a sense of destitution, and not
so blind as not to perceive how it happened,
having upon application been denied articles she
needed from the elder's store, at length broke
out upon him in an indignant strain of remon
strance, accusing him of the murder of her de
parted husband, and the beggary of herself and
children. That night the elder could not sleep.
Belshazzar-like "his countenance was changed
and his thoughts troubled him." He was in the
habit of praying—and from his bed, he rose to
pray. But visions of the past scenes came up
and while he was pointed first to one ruined
neighbor and then to another, conscience still
cried "thou art the man"—" thou hest done
this." He-prayed for forgivness. He again
lay down. But conscience stirred up to its
depth, brought home the accusation with re
elpubled force. What should he do 1 He rose
and prayed again—besought pardon—and laid
down. But all this would not do—conscience
gave him no rest. Again and again he rose,
and with crying and tears entreated forgiveness.
Eleven times had his couch denied him rest—
and his case, with a broken heart, seemed to
grow worse and worse—when he bethought
himself—" that he had not once in all his prayers
promised amendment." Immediately, there
fore, he sought for the 12th time, a throne of
grace—with tears of true penitence begged par
don for the past, and casting himself on Divine
mercy—vowed never to made or sell another
drop. As by a miracle, calmness and peace
took possession of his soul, his heart was re
lieved from its burden, and he lay down and
slept peacefully. What followed—in the morn
ing his neighbors thought him mad, when he
closed his distillery, cast the stock on hand into
the stream and banished it for ever from his
store. Oh how inconsistent is this traffic with
prayer ! Heaven grant the same penitence and
reformation to every like sinner !
Yours, &c.

Valley, Pa. Feb. 15, 1819.
A NOBLE Bor.—A boy was once temp
ted by some of his companions, to pluck
some ripe cherries from a tree which
his father had forbidden him to touch.
"You need not be afraid, for if your
father should find out that you had them,
he is so kind that he would not hurt
you." •
"That is the very reason," replied the
boy, "why I would not touch them."
"It is true, my father would not hurt
me; yet my disobedience, I know, would
hurt my father; and that would be worse
to me than anything else."
A boy who grows up with such prin
ciples would be a man in the best sense
of the word. It betrays a sacred regard
for rectitude that would render him
trustworthy in the hour of trial.
SENATOR HOUSTON AND HIS WIFE.-
The case of Senator Houston affords a
striking example of the vast influence
a good wife may exercise over any man.
Houston was, apparently, a very un
promising subject for the experiment.
He quarelled with and ran away from
his first wife, lived with the Indians;
was given over to drunkenness and pro
fanity, and to use his own language,
was the "victim of his own slavish appe
tites." He was then called the noto
rious "Sam Houston." But we have
noticed, for some years, that he has been
spoken of more respectfully. The se
cret of it is, as we were informed some
months ago by one who knew him well,
that he had married a lovely and excel
lent woman, and she had reformed him
or induced him to reform himself. We
see that the matter has now got into the
papers. At a large party lately given
in Washington by Senator Winthrop,
Houston took occasion to give his rea
sons for declining to attend the various
places of amusement to which he was
invited.
"I make it a point," said the honora
ble Senator, "never to visit a place
where my lady, if she were with me,
would be unwilling to go. I know it
would give her pain, as a christian, to
attend such places and I will not go my
self where I could not take my wife."
A member of Congress present allu
ded to his own wife, and added that
there was a mutual understanding be
tween him and her that they should each
follow the bent of their own inclinations
in such matters.
"That may do for you," responded
Mr. Houston, "but with me it is differ
ent from what it is with many men.
My wife has been the making of me.
She took me when I was the victim of
slavish appetites, she has redeemed and
regenerated me, and I will not do that
in her absence which I know would give
her pain if she were present."
THE PASSION FLOWFIL—The follow
ing interpretation of this justly •cele
brated and much admired flower, will
not be found uninteresting, especially to
the fair devotees of Flora.
The leaves resemble the spear that
pierced our Savior's side: the tendrils,
the chords that bound his hands or the
whips that scourged him: the ten petals,
the apostles, Judas having betrayed and
Peter deserted: the pillars in the centre,
the cross or tree; the stamina, the ham
mer; the style, the nails; the inner circle
around the centre pillars i the crown of
thorns; the radiance, the glory; the white
in the flower, the emblem of purity—
and the blue, the type of heaven: On
one species, the passiflora alto, eVeh
drops of blood are seen upon the cross
or tree. This flower continues three
days open, and then disappears, thus
denoting the resurrection.
THE PURE IN HEART—The springs of
everlasting life are within. These are
clear streams gushing up from the depths
of the soul and flowing out to enliven the
sphere of outward existence. But like
the waters of Silo!), they "go swiftly."
You must listen to catch the silvery
tones of the little rill as it glides from its
mountain home—you may not witness
its silent march through the green vale,
but its course mill he seen in the fresh
and the opening flowers—its presence
will be known by the forms of life and
beauty which gather around it. It is ev
er thus with the pure. You may not
hear the "still small voice" or heed the
silent aspirations—but there is a moral
influence and a holy power which you
will feel. The wilderness is made to
smile, flowers of new life and beauty
spring up and flourish, while an invisi
ble presence breathes immortal fra
grance through the spiritual atmosphere.
LOOK TOWARDS TIIE LIGHT.—The sailor
on the midnight sea, if he would behold
the star that alone would guide him a
cross the trackless deep, must look not
on the dark, troubled waves, but at the
clear blue Heavens. If the sky is over
cast, and the star is veiled by clouds, he
must turn to his compass, and its needle
ever true to the pole, will point to the
star, though it be hidden from his vision.
So we, tossed on many a billow, if we
would see Heaven's guiding light, must
look not on the waves of temptation, that
dash and break around, but above to
God. Should darkness and clouds gath
er in the sky, let us turn to the Bible,
and it will point to Him who shines be
yond the clouds in unchanging glory.
up- Our thoughts, like the waters of
the sea, when exhaled towards Heaven,
will loose all their bitterness and salt
ness, and sweeten into gentle showers
of love and kindness upon our fellows.
