AN ADDRESS Delivered before the Conowago Temperance Society on the 11th of April, 1835, BY JACOB CASSAT, ESQ. CONCLUDED FROX OUR Limn] • Drunkenness also destroys the soul.—lf 1 it requires a sound mind, and judgment, and = prudent management, to prosecute with sue ', cess our worldly business, how much more are they required in the care of the soul? But the drunkard, with all the powers dins mind deranged and inverted and perverted, is unable to understand and appreciate the principles of Christianity, while his whole life is at variance with, and a violation of, i s the principles and precepts of the gospel; and it is no wonder that he should, (for he is worthy continuing • such,) inhera the denunciation "no drunkard shall inherit eternal life." The foregoing topics have been so often discussed, aro so well understood, and the conclusions so g enerally admitted, that I for bear:to enlarge on them. But, I will pre . sent this subject in another aspect, which is perhaps not so well understood, that is, Drunkenness has an injurious influence on • the national prosperity. This, lam aware, in denied, under an apprehension that tem perance will induce such a state of things, as: will ultimately deprive the farmer of his • accustomed market for corn and rye. This part of our subject, however, is susceptible ofdemonstration by calculation, with swill , cient accuracy for general purposes. It is a well known, and well understood principle of political economy, that produc tie labor is wealth —that money is not - wealth, but only the representative of it, and medium &exchange. Ira man by produc tive tabor earns 60 cents in a day, he adds Just so much to the common stock, or ,na tional wealth; if he refuse to labor, he fails to do what he is bound to do—contribute his portion to the public or common stock.— Now apply these remarks to drunkards, and of the 800,000 in the U. States, the loss or waste of time, in consequence of intenaper ' epee, of each one, is probably not less than three days of each week, at 50 cents per day, will amount to 78 dollars per year, which multiplied into 300,000 gives the sum of 823,400,000. Also, their board during idle days, at 124 , cents per day, taken from coin - tnon stock, amounts in one year to $5,850,. 000. • It itedrelieved, on, good evidence; that confirmed, drunkards shorten the duration of their lives, on an average,at least ten years, and that about 30,000 die annually, in whose lost labor, at 50 cents per day, or $l5O per year, is a further loss to the community of $4,500,000; added to the above items a. • mount to. $33,750,000. • Here is an absolute loss, not of money, but of what is equal to it, productive labour, which might and ought to have been given, and by which the nation would have been made richer to that amount. To this we Must add, fifty . millions of dollars, about the ascertained cost of ardent spirits consumed, annually, in the U. States. But this is not all: There is another source of loss in the necessary expenditure, to keep the peace and good order of society—such as criminal cpurts, pay of officers, judges, jurors: the establishment and maintainance of jails, penitentiaries, poor -houses, work-houses, to• wither with mendicant paupers seeking sup. port, and the loas arising from drunkards becoming unable to pay their contracts— *lee-fourths of these expenditures have their_ necessity in the use of ardent spirits _ as a drink, and when we embrace the whole IL States in our estimate of the amount, who can believe that it falls short of twenty millions? and when added to all the other items dims and expenditures, Will amount to the enormous sum of 103,750,000! Nor must I omit to observe, that from twenty to thirty, say twenty-five millions bushels of rye and corn, are annually con - aimed by distillation, 1 do not offer this as i an additionalitem 'of loss, became already ' included in the cost of drink; but how far it is Morally right to destroy, as effectually as it it were burned or thrown into the sea `:twenty-five million bushels of grain, the 'bounty _ or a benificent Providence, 1 leave as a "aiwaatiow for those concerned. Now; I ask, what have we in return_ - for this enormous annual sacrifice?

THEVETTYSB meat half the time! But let those men be come sober, and return-to a right state of mind, and relieved from their degradation and physical debility, and they will engage industriously and vigorously in productive labor; and instead ofspending their earnings for whiskey, they would furnish their fami lies with a full supply of provisions, and by them alone a largo part of the twenty-five million of bushels would be purchased and paid for. But, further, it is perfectly within our reach to make, not only as good but far bet ter investment of our corn and rye than sell ing it to distillers, by raising and feeding stock especially in this section of country. We have been, and are annually importing from the West, thousands of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep. Now we surely are able, and ought to furnish this supply as well and as cheaply as those who, at a great expense, transport it four, five or six hundred miles. Besides, such a system would greatly enrich and improve our farms. Now, contrast this plan with that heretofore pursued by many, of selling to the distiller all their 'course grain to raise a little ready cash, keepiog a small stock, half starved like Pharoh's lean kine, making little manure and their farms in consequence, Wee:flint/ impoverished and sterile, and who can doubt the superior ad vantages of the former. If the foregoing representations of the pe cuniary loss, personal misery, and moral desolation growing out of the use of ardent spirits as a drink be correct, who can for bear exclaiming, what is to be done to ban ish this soul, body and 'mese destorying scourge from the land? The answer is at hand, and practically given by those who have bearded this thousand headed monster, and who have already driven him from many of his lurking places—lT is ABSTINENCE, TOTAL ABSTINENCE FROM SPIRITS, EXCEPT FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES, EVEN FROM TEM PERATE DRINKING, OR USING IT IN SMALL QUANTITIES; for although all temperate drinkers do not become drunkards, yet eve ry drunkard was once a temperate drinker. This is the starting point, the commence ment of that career which has landed so ma ny in the drunkard's grave and perdition. The temperate drinker cannot certainly foresee the issue of his , habit; but it is moral ly certain, that he who never drinks spirits, will never be a drunkard—hence the perfect safety of this remedy. In urging total abstinence, we hope, and expect to concentrate such an amount of public opinion, as when brought to bear on this single point, will become perfectly irre sistible. Public opinion is our only weapon ofattack on this hydra, we neither need or desire any other—and which, we doubt not, will yet deliver the world from this worse than Egyptian bondage. The object.in forming temperance socie ties, is to bring together and unite in one grand simultaneous concentrated effort, all who deprecate drunkenness and , its effects - , as well as the causes which lead to it. We therefore call upon drunkards to join us, but with faint hopes they will comply; they are so wedded to the sin that so easily besets hem—are so debased and insensible to their interests and duties, that few of them have responded to the call. True about 5,000 have been permanently reclaimed out of 300,000; but the great body of them we must leave to their infatuated choice, to realize the wages of their own folly and per. verseness, and out of the reach of all means of recovery! A sorrowful thought!! • We call upon the .FEDIALE SEX to give to this cause their More than ordinary influence. You have much at stoke. Your influence over the other sex, is immense. Use it. then, for their good and your own safety, by uni ting that influence to the temperance effort, and by making absolute- and entire temper. ance an almost indispensable requisite in the husbands of your choice. We call upon TEMPERATE DRINKERS to unite with us. Ynu occupy a station, and possess an influence that can greatly retard or accelerate the progress of temperance. Your example is looked up to by many, and copied and relied upon as a justrilcation for their moderate tippling. But give your solemn pledge of total abstinence, lend your influence to this benevolent cause, and the work la done: all mankind delivered from the blighting, withering curse of drunkenness; and sobriety and temperance, with all its balmy influ ences, gently diffusing over the world, in streams of peace, competence and happiness. Come par ticipate in this good work, and the benedictions of the Drunkard's Widow, and his Orphan Children, will rest upon you. Or will you rather rernain insensible and indifferent to the long, black, and horrible catalogue of crime and misery following in the wake of intemperance? Will you shutyour eyes on all of these that aro visible around you, and to the light thrown on this whole subject?— Will,you shut out all your sympathies for the dis. tressed and miserable, made such by intemper ance, and not make one' effort to remove them? Have you no paternal solicitude for your sons, lest they become drunkards from example of others drinking moderately and of your own, more than any other; kind your fond hopes of their future use. fulness and respectability, forever prostrated in the dust? Or for your daughters, lest they may be deluded into matrimonial connexion with a drunkard, to inherit all the sorrowful entailments of their brutal Vico? And while you persist in the habit of drinking temperately, thereby teaching youth the first lesson of intemperance, have you no fears that the blood of some of them will bo found in your own skids, and that you aro incur. ring a responsibility that will some day wring your souls with bitter and unavailing anguish? We call upon the YOUTH, that interesting por tion of society, to join the standard of sobriety, It is for your safety principally, and to shield vizi from the lures and temptations to intemperance with which you are surrounded, that associations bare been 'formed. Give, then, your heart and your hand to this cause, and seek protection un. der public opinion, which by your pledge and ex ample you contribute to swell and increase, from the Insidious attacks of the common enemy—tem perite . drinking. You are soon to assume and oc. cupy your different stations in society. Perse. Yere, then, in neither touching, tasting, nor hand. ling; and you will commence your career with a fair and cheering pi-impact of being useful and respectable; The cause of temperance is the cause of hu. inanity and of benevolence; and although,it may ,meet with opposition as it has done, yet it must and will finally prevail.• Although but a few years have elapsed since its commencement, its influence is perceived and felt over.tho whets land, and over various parts of the world. 5,000 drunkards have already been reclaimed; thousands of diatilisrs and vender. have ceased to naanufac tuts and read lt, whole daincts of county. tom's RC- STAR & REPUBLICAN BANNER. and villages in many places, are so completely and happily rid of ardent spirits, that the article cannot be had from any but the apothecary.- It has been banished froth the army, and hundreds of merchant ships sail without it. And so sensible are the Insurance Companies of the greater safe. ty of those temperance ships, that they give the owners two and a half per cent premium,on the in surance. This fact alone, Is a valuable practical comment on temperance. The advocates of this cause number in its ranks a very large proportion of the wise and good and patriotic, and especially of christians of both sex es. The cause is so obviously good. and so pre eminently calculated to promote and secure the best interests of mankind, that the motives of those engaged in it cannot be doubted or called in question; nor can wo doubt that God will own it as His cause, and bless it by finally crowning it ' with success. But we must continuo to wage this war with determined perseverance. Thiseromy, (intemperance) the fell distroyer ofour race, will not yield without a desperate struggle; and al though already mortally wounded, and Is ruling to his total overthrow, yet will ho dispute every inch of ground while there is a drunkard, or an abottor,to sustain him; and no doubt many will yet fall beneath his deadly power. But prase vensxce will secure a final victory. And then shall bo seen the happy and delightful spectacle; the world delivered from threefourtheapf_all the degradation, misery and we, in :chichi( is now involved; AND PEACE, PROSPERITY, COMPETENCE AND HAPPINESS PREVAIL; and the greatest barrier to the spread of the Gospel be removed; AND THE HUMAN RACE RESCUED FROM THE GREATEST CURSE THAT HAS EVER BEFALLEN Turn, SLICE THE FALL OF MAN! TO THE PUBLIC. THE Fifty-second Number of the Re public of Letters will close the first year of the work. It was commenced as an experiment—the liberal patronage it has re ceived, as well the favor bestowed upon oth er works of a like kind which have followed in its truck, shows that the plan of the work is approved, and has given it a permanency which induces the publisher to make such alterations and improvememts as he believes will be acceptable to subscribers, and give it a furtherclaim upon the reading community. Since the work has been in the hands of the present publisher, he has endeavored to ascertain as far as practicable, the views of the subscribers in relation to one or two matters important to the interest of the work. The first is in relation to a change in its form. It has been the opinion of the present publisher from the first, that the octavo form —being one half the present size, would be I preferable; and he is gratified that the sub scribers with whom he has been enabled to confer, have almost unanimously expressed the same opinion. The form of the work will therefore be changed at the commence ment of the second year to octavo, each number containing thirty-two pages. The second point is, in relation to the se lections for the work. The opinions of sub scribers in this are extremely various—so much to as to render it impossible to satisfy all. Thus far it has been fur object to give as much variety as possible, and at the same time to introduce into each volume one or two works of some magniie - der Sothe ob jection has been made to works which ne cessarily occupy from eight to ten numbers, a 3 far as practicable this will in future be avoided. The "Republic of Letters" is a reprint of Standard Literature; works, therefore, which are new and ephemeral, are necessa rily excluded. The future volumes will embrace more of historical works, biography, and travels, than hitherto. The first number of the second year will contain "Elia" by Charles Lamb, one of the most beautiful and popular works of the time —to be followed by Voltaire's Peter the Great—Calamities of Authors by D'lsraeli, &c. &c.; and in the course of the volume will be published some volume of History, prepared under the superintendence of Dr. Lardner, by Sir Walter Scott, T. Moore, Esq., Mackintosh and others. , The work will be published weekly as heretofore, at 61 cents per number, or three aollars per year to those who receive the work by mail and pay in, advance. Post masters throughout the United States are requested to act as Agents. All Subscriberslwho now receive the work by mail, are requested to forward their sub scription for the second year if they wish the work continued to them. The two volumes contain the following works, and may •be had, bound or in num bers:— The Mau of Feeling, by .Mackenzie. The Vicar of Wakefield, by Goldsmith. The Tales of the Hall, by Crabbo.

JEBB'S RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. Copy of a Letter!! CELtarzsTowrg, (Mass.) June 23, 1827. To the Proprietor of Dr. Jebb's Liniment. DEsk Sia—l deem it a duty I Owe to suffering humanity, to acquaint you, and through you the public, (should you think best) of the unexpected and surprising cure performed on myself by the use of the above most excellent Medicine. I have been for more than thirty years, and sometimes most severely, afflicted with the Rheumatism, have been frequently rendered perfectly helpless; and in consequence confined to my bed, when it has required two persons to move me, being in such extreme pain; I have several times boon un der the care of the most eminent physician?, but procured only temporary relief; I ono day no iiced the advertisement of Dr. Jebb's Liniment, with the testimonials accompanying it, and was induced to try a bottlo,which I used without much sensible benefit. I concluded, however, to perse vere, and bought another bottle, and was greatly relieved, and by the use of half the third bottle, was wholly cured, and have never since had a re turn of the pain, which I had not been free from a mouth at a time for thirty years, and it is now more than three years since 1 was cured. I would must earnestly advise every person suffering un der this painful complaint, not to despair of a cure so long as they can obtain Dr. Jebb's Liniment. You aro at liberty to make any use of this you may think advisable. Most respectfully yours, CALEB SYMMES. To the foregoing testimony, many other un questionable proofs might be added, in favor of tho. superior Liniment of Dr. Jobb. Nothing but a fair trial, which tho proprietor confidently bolicits, can give an adequate idea of its unrivalled office. cy, in mitigating, and thoroughly mastering, the excruciating disease, to which it has been suc cessfully applied In a multitude of cases. The operation of the Liniment is often immediate; and it has frequently cured rheumatic affections of years standing, in four and twenty hours. •It is also recommended with confidence, as one of the best applications known for stiffness of the joints, numbness, sprains, and chilblains. Price 50 . cents, with directions. DX %PEP SI A., OR INDIGESTION. HIS prevalent disorder, as it exhibits itself in its customary symptoms of want of appe tite, distressing flatutencies, heart-burn, pain in the stomach, sick headache, nausea, vomiting and coativenees, is now found to yield to the tried cacy of DR. RELFE'S VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, ANTI- BILLIOUS PILLS. These two preparations vimbined,consti tute an efficacious remedy for the Dyspep sia, even after it has acquired the most ob stinap character, and resisted every effort of professional skill. When both medicines are administered in connection according to plain and particular directions accompany ing the Vegetable Specific, they thoroughly cleanse the alimentary canal of that viscid mucus which is the proximate cause of the disorder, and as a tonic and stimulant, they restore the healthy action and energy of the tomach, and strengthen the debilitated sys tem. The proprietor can also confidently recommend the Vegetable Specific, as one of the best remedies known for the Sick Headache. Price 50 cents each article, with directions. BRITISH ANTICEPTIC DENTIFRICE. For cleansing, whitening, and preserving the Teeth and Gums. THE BRITISH ANTICEPTIC DEN TIFRICE, which the present proprietor wishes most particularly to recommend to the attention of the public, is perfectly ex empt from all those acids which in general form the basis of tooth powders in common use, and which although they may whiten the teeth for a short time, must inevitably destroy the Enamel by their deleterious ac tion on this beautiful cove'ring of the teeth The consequence is that the Enamel which is the shield provided by nature to protect the spongy and nervous internal structure, is rapidly corroded by these acid ingredients, become more discoloured than ever, and ex poses the inner portion of the tooth to caries and a rapid and certian decay. By the use of the British Anticeptic Dentifrice, in the morning, as occasion may require, with a brush moderately hard, and cold water, the accumulation of Tartar will not only be pre vented, but the teeth rendered beautifully and permanently white, and the gums resto red to that freedom from soreness, that hard ness and efflorescence which are the sure tests of their heAlthy state, and the best guarantee of that natural fragrance of the breath which can never be expected in con nection with foul teeth, and scorbutic un healthy gums. Price 50 cents a box, with directions. *.*The above valuable Medicines are prepared from the original Recipe in MS. of the late Dr. W. T.
