The prevalence of the dis.-ase has caused ihe pub.ic.tiion of many interesting, instructive, ai.d, it may be, salutary articles, upon it. lis history is traced back as far as the Second century. In Spain ami Italy, during the llilecnih century, it was specially destructive.

A lew years ago it depopulated, to a great degree, seveial p.ovinccs ot Kussia. 'llie theories as 10 its nu.uic, origin and treatment a e numerous anil coutradietory.

What {you have said in r.gard to the Munition of ~ j your people, the troubles that they encoun- Jl j tered, the event* from which they have sut- 1 i fered and still fuller, 1 listened to with deep! 1 ! attention, ami 1 shall nlvc it a mil measure 01 : i I reflection. This is not Hie time nor the place I ! for me to indicate anything as to what ] shall j I have to say and do by ami by In an cflicial i j way, but this I may say: I noted as peculiar-! I j ly siguillcant one senU neo In the remarks of ! Gen. Klliott, to the eH'o't that tin' niiij<>t 11> of I citizens. as he alleges, in some portions of t " i South are oppressed by the minority, if tl.:s i be so, why Is it so? hecHU-e it trained man is | two or three men in one In comparison with l au untiai'ied man, and outride of polilicsand . ,?.utsi?le of parties that suggestion Is lull, | | bniniul of bignllicunce; that the way to iniikcj V I the mujoi ity always powerful over the minor-1 w ity is to make lis members as trained and in- J 1 fell! gent as the minority iisell.

Legislation ought j tj do till It can. 1 have made these .'UggesI lions simply to indicate that the education of . your race, in my Judgment, lies at the b ise of tiie final solution of your great question, and | I that cannot be aitngetner in the hands of the I I1 I staic or National Government. The Govern- p {incut ought to do all it properly can, but the ; native hungering and thirsting for knowl- . jidgethat the Creator has planted In every 111 child, must be cultivated by the parents of c< these children to the last possible degree of I their ability, so that the bauds of the people j shal reach out and grasp in the darkness the I hand of tb" Government extended to help. I and by thai union of effort tin' two will bring I what mere legislation alone cannot imniedi- J r.Uly bring. 1 rejoice that you have expressed so strongly and earnestly your views In regard 10 the ft' j necessity of your education, I have felt for A | years that that was the final so ution. '1 liove sj j i (forts that are humbie anil comparatively out of sight are in the long-run the effort| that tell. 1 have sometimes thought that the j men that sink a coffer dam Into the river and work for months in anchoring great stones to | build the solid abutments and piers, whose I work is by-and-by covered by the water and out of sight, do not gel their shareof the cred- jit. The gaudy stiucture of the bridge that I rests on these piers and across which the I trains thunder is the thing that strikes tiie I I eye of the great public ugieat deal more. The sunken piers and yard wotk, the educational growth and the building up of industry, the economy and all that can help the foundation of local prosperity is the woik that in the long lun tells. Some Scotch poet said, or ( put It in the mouth of some prophet to say, ^ 1 Hint tlir> nine would come ' "When Bertram's right and Rertram's might ' Shall mcel on Ellcngou an's height." And It Is when the might and the right of a ^ people meet that majorities are never op- w , pressed by minorities. K i Trusting, gentlemen. that you may take K I part in the earnest work ot inilluing up vour tl , j race, from the foundation into the solidity of t< ! intelligence and Industry, and upon those w i bases at last see all your rights recognized, Is U i my personal wish and hope for your peop>e.'

' j It Is conceded tlml there is a powerful strug- li i j tjle now going on In the public mind; and It is j P i j believed ihat our law-makers will do much i greater tilings for us next winter, If we show I them that we will uphold theni in theiretforts r to i id the country of the curse of rum.

I ishmeut of ardent spirits from ouV State, ' I Think how highly God lias favored us in i; soil, in climate, in water power, in mineral , j! wealth, in scenery, in everything. Think ?1 how instantly ample prosperity and utidis- j y | airbed enjoyment would rest upon our people [i I if the dreadful demon of drink were driven 1 i from our limits. Think that nine-tenths of i)! our criminal expenses result from drunken(fl ness. See how our Jails, our penitentiary, our c poor-houses and ourasylum are crowded with 1 e sad victims of the habit of drink. Think ot ' the lives of innocent ones jeopardiz ed or lost ' y by the drunkard's violence. Shall we longer u quietly witness reason dethroned, property # wasted, confidence destroyed, happiness turnj, ed to woe, hopes blasted, lives lost, and souls lj consigned to perdition ? Shall we not rather ,f unite in a general effort to bring these evils to ,f an e>?d? ! <1 Jt is, therefore, hereby proposed that we be- ; a nin at once to circulate lor signatures nn ear|. nest petition to our Legislature to pass at tlie e next session a law totally prohibiting the j.' manufacture and sole of ardent spirits as a v beverage. Every reader ot this appeal, white | 'c | or colored, male or female, old or young, clerli cal or lay. who is willing to circulate ?>r cause Ie to be circulated one or more of these petI5, tions, is earnestly invited to write immediatea iy to our orand Worthy Patriarch, Hev. s.
