TEMPERANCE. / . 0 - y . - TO TIIE pfeoPEE OF -#CABO1JNA?;* Fellow-Citizens:?The State Temperance Society, assembled in convention at Greenville, would most respectfully; and at the same time, affectionately, address themsalvcs to your understandings and your hearts, in the hope of removing prejudices against, and enlisting your naturally generous impulses, in favor of the great Temperance Reform.;? The proceedings of this meeting will inform you that our sole object is to "persuade men. to be sober. We have no political views whaetvor: noweratul place arc wholly foreign from <>ur objects: wc labor "wi/tout money awl without price" for the good of our fllow men. This end we hope to attain without any other aids than such as wc can claim from knowledge and lore. We seek first to inform the people of the true principles of Temperance, and then to claim their co-operation on the principle of love to his kind, which, in every uneorrupted sober man, prompts him to do all the good he can. To carry out this expectation, wc arc anxious that people should "search the different Temperance publications daily," that they should attend our meetings, and hear the different addresses. To our bitterest enemies, wc would, in the language of the great Athenian, say, "'strike but hear." If, after searching our publications and hearing our addresses, there be any thing wrong found in them, then we are willing to abide the just condemnation: but if, on such examination, there be nothing found which is wrong, then, fellowcitizens, suffer us to stand before you in the character of Philanthropists, seeking to do you afl the good we can! The Temperance Associations in South Carolina now number in males and females, nearly 12.000 members: this great body of the followers of Temperance is taken from all classes of society; the rich and the poor, the wise and the simple, the high and the low, the preacher, the lawyer, the doctor, the farmer, the merchant 'and mechanic arc here all united ( together, as one family, among whom j there are no distinctions. What beauti ful, practical, republican simplisity is thus j presented? Here too there is no scctari- j anism! In the temple of Temperance, all the worshipers take each other by tlTc j hand as brothers. Is it not beautifully illustrative of that time when "the lion J shall lie down with ihe lamb, and the! leopard with the kid?" But we present' you a still greater claim to confidencej when we say, .among us you will find ', hundreds of reformed dH?nkWvw^0 were once like the man who came out of the tombs "exceedingly fierce, so that no man could tame him," but they arc now like him, after the Saviour had cast out of, him the "legion," "clothed and in their! right minds." j IIow have these results been accom- j plished? By persuasion merely! We j ' nave not been helped by either law or force. Such a thing as compelling men, by law, to be sober never entered into the head of any Temperance man. True, many of our members, as citizens and magistrates, have thought, and still will tiink, that the whole license system should be destroyed, and that public tippling should be ended. But, as a body, the State ^ /licnloime nil iemperance oocieiy imw ui^iamui ?... dependence upon legislation in any shape, form, or manner. The laws as they arc, or as the good of the people of the State may will them to be, arc sufficient for us. We have noreformer among us who, if he had the power, would, like Mahomet, convince people l?y the sword. We have all been reared in that nobie school of liberty, our free country, where freedom of opinion, political any religious, is as unrestrained as the air we breathe. Thus reared, it would be strange indeed, that we should attempt to force men to think as we do! If, however, we would, we cannot do so. For no enactment of that kind, in Carolina, would be worth the paper on which it wouid be written.? The Constitution icould at once abrogate it. So fellow-citizens, your liberty can be in no danger from Temperance. Instead of it, she is both the parent and nurse of freedom. Where people are so-"s~ * *' ?tn r , hi Der mere win ue luunu nuuuj. mreis they are drunken, there will be seen the demon slavery, stealing upon his revelling victims, until like the armed Cyrus, bursting into the chamber of the Belteshazzer, he says and compels them to serve or die. When your noble forefathers prepared for that deadly contest, which was to win for them constitution and liberty, or to consign them to bloody graves, and their country to desolution, they did so by Fasting and Prayer! An armed nav tion, like the Scots at Bannockburn, were seen prostrated before the Lord of Hosts: and like them they arose to victory, be. cause God helped them. This was the fruit of sobriety: and their whole contest of privation, suffering, daring and victory, was marked bv the same calm spirit.? ***' J?" 1 C?l.? xuey never ureameu uiai uiuy wwc ngiuing the battles of liberty to make yon t/u slaves of druiJicwtcss: they fought foi the noble privilege of governing themselves. Can that be preserved in anj other way but in temper mce^ of the Peo plel The question is asked, and we thin! ... ? | the answer so plairi, that ever}' man, w&- I i man and chi'd can answer for themselves! J The brief observations will we think (remove your prejudices; we askvou now J to "come and go with us." To persuade t you to do so, wc would say, do wish ? , to serve your country? If you say t ; yes,' we ask you again, is sobriety or in- ' diligence in intoxicating drinks that which 1 will best qualify you for her service?? , We know that you have too often scorned the drunken public officer, to believe that ' i "?ii iviii clnro ti\ olotho vourself with in i toxical ion when von seek her service.? 1 J)o you wish to be tlie useful citizen, ( "providing for your own household,"' and j doing good towards your fellow men?? Be sober?drink not at all of the inloxi; eating cup, and you will be blessed! Do i you wish to be healthy? Swallow notj poison, for alcohol, the intoxicating quali-1, j tv of all spirituous and malt liquors and ', : wine is poison?the most deadly poison . t j known to medicine. Do you wish for l < i length of days? The intemperate man t is cut short before he has half run his j i course! The sober man, the man who drinks no intoxicating drink, doubles his < chances for long life. Do you wish for: t \ wealth? Is it to be found in the profusion t I and waste of the man who drinks intern- * ' pcratcly? No! is the answer on every I | lip. Let the temperate drinker, how- ? ever, calmly examine his own account.? j Let him ascertain the annual cost of the!' wine, beer, ale, cider and spirituous liquors which he drinks or gives to his friends: the amount even to the most eco- { nomical will be startling?to this let him ; I --1.1 -1. - I-. /Ji.inLinn ?hn nnnilfll I UU(1 U1U IIIUU losi 111 lit liming,, ?iv bills fir medicine and medical attendance,' | which he incurs by diseases caused directly or indirectly by temperate drinking, a and he will find it a sum worth saving.? p In the language of Dr. Franklin, "a pen- r nv saved will be a penny earned," if he '' becomes one of us "who touch not, taste not!" * | Do you desire to be happy? It is well .n known that intoxicating drink is, in no n shape, an ingredient in the cup of human happiness?it belongs to wretchedness, to poverty and to crime. But water, clear, it pure, cold water is God's own beverage bestowed upon man, for his benefit and 11 blessing, and is typical of that "water of > which if any man drink he shall never 'it thirst again!" It is to this element we in- tl vile you to return, to drink, and to be; ^ happy; not only men, but women and a children. In this way it is, we expect 01 that the sigh of 'lie heart-broken wife, idl and the wailings of the worse than or- a pnnn children of the drunkard, will cease in the land. Do you wish crime to cease? Every man answers enthusiastically, yes! We ( reply, destroy the parent! Give up intoxicating drinks, and crime will cease. Men will cease to quarrel, to fight, and _ to slay, when the spirit of discord?inItoxicating drink, is withdrawn from a' mong them! | Do you wish drunkenness to cease in * jthe land? Yes. oh yes, is the answer of, ? j mothers clasping their ragged children to t| 11 heir bosom: ot children, wno are crouuu-. o ing down around their hearl-stncken mo-1 tlier, to avoid the demoniac glance of their j ^ drunken parent: and of men who love ^ God and eschew evil! To them, to all t j men every where, we say, in total absti- a ; ncnce from all which can intoxicate, is t j found that charm which saves the drunk- j' ard in his worst condition. To prove this, t j in the language of our fathers we say, s "lei facts speak!" Enter into the homes t of the th usandsof Reformed Drunkards ? I in these United Sta cs. and they tell you,| that in cold water, they ha\ c sunk and j : overcome their deadliest toe. Their' I wives and children are 110 longer in rags; 1 and poverty: they are no longer in wretch- f edness and woe: they are now clothed j and surrounded with abundance; their 1 faces are radiant with joy and gladness. | Who will, who can retard this work?? t j Who can be so unfeeling as not to unite K j in this excellent attempt to save noble and j erring men? Fathers, brothers, sons, can l rooiat tKn Hrnnknrd's anneal when 1 J ...v. _ , j to you he stretches out his arms as he sinks in the flood of intoxicating drink ' and cries, "save me or I perish?" Mothjers, wives, sisters, and daughters, can I you look on with indifference at the effort ' which is making to save all who are dear to you, and with their safety to secure 1 your own? We cannot, we will not be- J lieve it! We look forward with confidence * to that co-operation of men, women and " children, in this great and glorious w^rk, t which will make South Carolina one and / undivided from the seaboard to the moun-!< tains: which will make her banner of freedom the banner of Temperance, and under jts ample folds place all her people in innocence and security. 1 John Belton O'Neale, j Pres'dt. of the State Temperance Socie ty in Convention assembled.
