Th're we were patiently heard in sup- an
port of its provisions, and so far as a res- lb
poctful consideration of our prnposcions, ^
deserves the expression of gratitude, the '
ton nre entitled to. and have it.
But ns freemen, looKing 10 the nit* rests
of the State, we had a right to expect some- thing
more. We hud expected, and I diiuk
he people of the State expected some ii tie
gislution, on this subject; and I trus.thni Ti
text October the people will write their
?rpcetations of legislation in such characters G
hat they will he obeyed. an
I have neither time nor inclination to tu
d scuss the Report of the Committee of the jU(
House of Representatives. That 'will be ^
better done before the people.
Hut I may be allowed to say t' nt the ar- (JC
gumenfs used in it are lit !e mote than the a(
or iinary objections w.th which w? have S.
long b?*en familiar. True they have been dt
embellished by the talents of the Chairman, bl;
and he has employed that, which dis inguish. PH
es him. and which will, I trust, be always r?
applied to tlie bem fit of the State, :n tiio ja
support of a bad (I bad almost said a dee.- ve
perate) cause.
To you, friends of temperance, I now to
make my appeal. Road the t ill ivh ch P
has been submitted to the LcgUlaturc, and a'
which is now submitted to you : it it meets ^
your appro bat on, let tbeiu be no faltering, ge
no division hereafter among us : let us hove tu
".ho long pull, the strong pull and 'he pull i|,
altogether,** and the good ship TEMFERANCE, cc
which lias een so long almost a diiving ^
wreck, will bo drawn safely to moor ngs _
and made secure. J
if you are nor satisfied wrh the bill now bo
submitted, propose another, and I am wil. M
ling to take thai: btn let us no more pre. wl
sent the division, which we did at the last ^
S' ssion. Ou.* defeat then is mainly 10 be fi
attributed to our fears : or rather to the wi
fears of some, no1 of uII the friends of Tern- ?f
pcrnnce. The Editor of the Temperance uri
Advocate, in the very next paper afier
Mr. Rbeit and myself had !>en heard be- thi
fore the Commitiee, announced his willing- nil
ness to be content wi h "almosi anv sort of
action for a beginningil e Execu ive Committee
of the State Temperance Socie v, in
stead of coming up boldly to the question,
[ resented a Repor, winch, according to my
mind, was any thing else than backing their
friends. Under such circumstances, how ?
;ould any thing else than d'f?ai be expected
/ It I Jiad seen the Report of die Exp- n
:ufive Committee or the Editorial of the J
>ih of December, I certnitdy should have &,(.
nost respectfully declined the honor as the
>rgan ot a portion of you, of uddiessing the j''
omt Committee.
I trust that we shall learn from past exerience,
that victory has never perched <
pon the banners of the fenrful ; and that _
t the next Session of the Legislature we
nil ask boldly, fearlessly, and exren clamo- *
nusly for legislation?strong legislation.?
iut I may be permitted to express to you Sal
)y sincere regret that ifie opportune time Jlu'
is been lost. ,
I agree thoroughly with Mr. Lumpkin
id Ins correspondents from Mississippi the
at the true mode of acting on this subject'
as to ptss the law and light the battle nf- J
wards. Mississippi did so : find nobly
the people sustain the Legislation. If
jth Carolina had don"so likewise: her
>ple froir the sea hoard to the Mourw
:S would with "renter unanimity than
j!(J be expected have sustained the niea.
e? Mv knowledge of the State induces
to say that ths Temperance Reforrwu
a never will succeed. while 'ippling hou
i are scattered over the Suite. It is vain
say .0 :he people be sohet, while the
iptaiiou to drink is presented in e\ery
ghborhoo L It is vain to talk about suckling
by newspaper ar ieh s and temper
ne sp- ethos, while in every village an i
ev 'ry cross roud, may he found a Crog.
op, to which the unthinking may resort ;
where their passions uro inflamed by
ink, anci tl eir action directed aga'nst the
use of Tempo, runce by the interested
pert of such shops.
At die n xt Oc ober elections they will
ur a flood of strong drink upon the elects
franchise, to corrupt, and turn it aside
>m its leg1 im do pnrpus s. Then we
all I arn to our sorrow, how much we
ve lost by 1! e Legislature def rring the r
lion to a nif?re convenient season.
It is your duty, fra uds of Temperance,
be on your guard, and to do every thing,
deli as honest men and patriots, you can
> to subserve a good cause, and to insure
