TEMPERANCE.
The following Addlress was delivero Iy the Rev.
Mr. SUARInS. of Aiken. S. C. befor'e the Cen
tral Tenaerance Board of Edaetie'd Dtistrict.
in Ihe Baptist Meeting iloione -ia March last.
and was unanimously requested for publica
tion.
Gentlemen,
The occasion whichl has bron2lt tis to
gether is ono of interest Ileman nutire
never appears so noble, as wheni her syn
pathies are excited for the sullerings or hee
kindred, and her powers eiltloyed. in re
storini' the fallen, and degraded tit the hup
py, and reqpectable walks of life. Such is
the design of the Tempernoce Reformation.
An object which comtibineq within itself prin
ciples, so adiirably udfadaed to the elevation
of man's moral character, that if presciats
itself to ottr notico in a very sarikinag and
impoing aspect. In addition to its native
excelleuce, it offer incentives it) uction. In
all physical enterprises, capital is required
to earry their plans fito excentir, ;11ad o
summate their designs. i er iothin is
