I had a Drepmi'i-"and yet, it, was 4 not all a dreai!"-I had wandered far and highaimong the mountains of Zniy own dpar native State, occupying a somewhat.central position, whence I could yew, as it were.- the entire eoritinont at one and the same catch a glimnpse o0 the distant land beyond the great Gulf in the sunny South, and4he green hi1 of the frozen North; and, lookin' down from thelofty emineneo whi ' occupied isaw, issuing from thousands of valleys and from every gorge in the mountains, dark and dis iaal columns of smoke, whose awful stench filled my nostrils, as if pro ceeding from the caverns of hell! ' But .1' was not left long thus to nmiiju dge of the location of these "liery ftrnaces." -A'sociation had made in familiar with a smell which forbade my'iniputing to the infernal regions the' manuflicture of an article unknown there;-there i no alcohol made in ell!-but' oni earth, which was created for man's iiappium4s and enjoyment, and which God pronounced, as he viewyed his vast creation, not only '.igeod," but "very good"-on earth on ly is it made. Nor do evils and damned spirits drink the maddening poison of the still; but man, made after God's own image-he alone of all God's works converts it into a beverage, and by it sends his guilty 0soul into hopeless ruin! And,.as 1.gazed still fhrther, I be. held in every city, town, and village; at every cross-roads and places of pu b lie gatherings, temples and palaces, Sat woo loons sand hovels, dedicated to the worship of the ruin-god-where mur der and b, oils, blasphemy and all man nor of abominations were engendered, 4g - \ and sustained, , as the legit imate p ofth,, sale of this uni natural beverm;Q Looking towards the halls of le'gi tion and the temnples ofijustice, erci4". by man for the suppression toi crime and iniquity, I invoked their mighty interposition, and imploringly called upon the rulers and law-makers of the. land to rid the nation of this might y evil, that was degrading her sons, de grading her daughters, and converting fhis 1tir heritage .into one vast aicel daina of human blood; when a loud sound,.aomoiipaInied by a demoniae __.laughei of deliance from the iniernal cr'bineath proulaiaimd: This is a business built up by the law! Legisla. tors, bestow upon us the privileye! Judges justify, and the nution apprors our patriotic toork! The law is our benefactor!!! Acknowledging the awful truth of the horrible declaration, I turned, with tk sick and heavy heart, from the sence. The wiail of disconsolate wid owhood, and the cries of suffrering or phanage rose upon the air, and reach ed my ears; when, lifting my burden ed heart and eyes towards heaven, I saw, standing on a lofty peak fiar, flr above me, a tall, cominianding figure, gazing with anxious eye upon the mighty panorama spread out befire him. His brow was wrinkled o'er with care, and his scant and hoary locks were . ith the nightdcw of long watchi Regardin g him, as some- 'bencvolent spirit, who was iourning over the desolations of ... cyranisd that fromi his po .sition it mrigh te that he could give promise of a lbetter comning morrow, I took up the burden of Dumnah, when lhe called out of Seir to the Prophet -Isaiah, arid cried aloud "WATCHMAN! WHAT OF THE NIGHT t" Is there any sign of hope for the fut tirre? Does the. same dark, impene trable gloom hang, over the moral ho rizon, torbidding all' confidence in a prospect of its entie'rcamoval, andl of the sure; pernmanent rising of the life giving sum of Teniparance, that shall shed its glorious 'rays 'of light and joy, disseminating consolation and~ hapiness among 'the sorrow-stricken son's of mnen? Siay, faithful sentinel, does no dajy-star peer- above theh rizon, giving promise of aL happy noon time of enmancipation of our ruma curs'ed land from the tyranny of In tcmpertinte? grid the WVatchman said, or seemed to say: 'The morning comneth! 1Lo! 'a light in the East arises, above the s:nwelgd 'hills' of Matine, with healing zirite ms. A shout of joyous wl eole ngreets its 'appeiaranlce, as its pli~ light penetrates the dark bo asin f the clond above. Loud and long is the voice off~riumph, echoing a:J *r-echioing alonig the hills and valgsithat redeenied land; until ithie op tshieard upon thai modntain colpgqA~ resgng cry: "'We, too, w:iU be free!'ise .Counettieqt catches' the inspiring R(Jogp tfredcom; .ad froi all her beksgoes forth the determined d tiof re~si~a4nce to the tyrant. M:Npnhountaini lSoys" if from the proud heights of "Bunker Hill," the joyous aitheni, as if inspired by the reineberance oftlat day when resistanceo to oppression bathed its summit in the lile-blood of America's best men, swells to a torrent, "ia the voice of many waters," assuring her sisters that the "Old Bay Stute will be found foremost in the great moral strifl for ninn's redemption. The thunder of voices is heard above the deafening roar of Niuagara: Canada catches the strain; and, ne knowledging herself our debtor inl this great movement, gladly follows the example of the States. Rhode Island, small in stature and few in words, but with the firm de cision of freemen, boldly proelaims -" We want the Maine law; we will have it; it shall be sustained!" The mighty Empire State next catches the sound. Tired of the im becile, temporizing policy, that has su long shackled the gigantie energies of the greatest State in the Contde racy, she rushes to break the ignoble tUers fron her limbs, and join in the crusade against the system of Alcolicie trailic-a system that was born in hell, baptized in the blood and tears of human sufliring and misery, and is nursed and perpetuated through a policy so 11uholy, that none but the Arch-demon of the dark vaults of Perdition is worthy of its paternity. Next sperks the "Keytone Stute.' Ashamed of the retrograde Steps she has mIade, she nobly marches to the rescue. From her halls oflegisla tion the word collies forth, that, the descendants of the philauntropic Penn will no longer have their statute. book deiheed by tihe foul blot. of a License Law. New Jersey, not often backward in a good caye, boldly avows the "Maine IJeClaration of Independence." DIelaware fldters not in her duty, but valiantly moves on the high road to progress and retorim.

Virginia, "the mothlitr of' States," the ld of Washingiton, l'atrick lienry, J el'rson, and AMadisou, strains her car to catch the glad sound, as it comes sweeping over the broad Potomaine. The clarion notes of a Galy, a Drinkard, and a Lee are heard throuughlu't the wide domain of the "Old Dominion," marshalling lie forces for the conflict against the rum fiend and the soul-destroying trailic. h'fie glorious '-Old North state," the first to throw oWf her allegiance to the tyrant King Getoige, and declare herself independent, is eager and paniting thr the scrife! The spirit that stirred the hearts of her Alexauders, her Bre,.ards, and lier Polks, in ,75, and caused them to "beard the Douglas in his halls," boldly nid openly to defy the mayrnidons of royalty and oppression, cannuuot and will not quietly submuit to am vassaliuge more degrading and ruinous thani that against the tolerance of which she poured out lien blood like water, on the fields of Alaamnc, G uilford, and Camden. From Currituick to Chero kee, from the shuores of the Atlantie to the loftiest moutain-peauk in the \Vest, she is arousing to strike the blow of separation of Alcohol from Staute sovereignty. North Carolina (dhall be freed fromi the vile trizulic, for so the People will declare. Nor will South Carolina be out stripped in the cointest: but, enitering the arena like aL gladiator, her sonus will be found dloinig valiant service wherever duty calls. Thle descendatnts of Pinickney, I Rut ledge, and Calhoun canm never subimiit to be the slaves of ap~petite, passion, and the ruin oeracy, any moure thanu they could to plJitical bonudage. Th'le patriotic dead wvould arise fronm their tomibs and curse their de~generate sons had they sunk so low inito venamlity and dais tardniess. Led oni by the gallant O'Neall, the pecople of the "Pulmet State" will piove "worthy sons of noble sires"s in this great work, and and banish the poison from their borders. Georgia, too, is waiting for the watchword, to miake a vigorous on slaughut upon the vile traflic.. Alabamma, who is just old enough ini the ismily of' States to appeamr in lier bridal m~hos, 'Edjtires the tur bid waters of the still, and will finally forbid their being borne upon the surfacee of her many navigable streams. And Mississippi, a younger sister, is now lul huu1 u.linug upon tier s.n and daughters to absolve allegiance to a despotism so revolting to all the finer fielings of the human heart: While Louisiana, as a grave aid prudent matron, smiles approvingly on her fair daughters, and sa s) "1 too, will join in this holy work. Florida, blushing in maiden ino cence, disdains to have her virgin puri ty defiled, and her sweet perfume, wafted from a thousand flowers, con taminated by the besotted wooings and foul breath of the rui-fiend. Teunessee, the child of the Old North State, sets her venerated mother a glorious example, and bids her emau late in the blessed cause- Iler first inen are in the field, the sound political aid judicial wisdom of a Dilahunty has awakened her people to an investi gation of the subject; while the con. hicing eloquence of laskell, Camp bell, Pavatt, Browilow, anid others, is arousing a spirit of eternal hostility to King Alcohol. Kentucky, "the daik and bloody ground," is not a listless spectator of the stirring scenes around her. She is girding up her loins for the foray; and, when she speaks, like the stead v, itner ring aim ol' her Riflemen at the battle of New Orleans, it vill tell, as then, a sad tale to this great enemy of their country. Ohio, the great giant of the mighty West, which, but little more than a quarter of a centary ago, was a vast unexplored wilderness, but now stands third in the Union for agricultural and conumercial wealth, and political strength and importance, imitating her superior growth in these reispects, has advanced fiu- ahead of her elder sister States, and engrafted upon her Mayna Chartu, as though "written upon tables of brass with the pen of' iron," the de cree of a violation of* the chartered lib arties of people, totally at variance with one of the findaiental principles of' her constitutional government, for her law-makers to pass any Act by which the sale of ardent. spirits can be iounted oin soil .

Indiana nid Illinois; Michigan and Missouri; Arkansas and Iexiis; Cali tornia and New Mexico; Oregon and Wisconsi-aUll, all are moving to fill uip the ranks on this great, sublime, moral battle-field, to strike at once a decisive and elTeetual blow for the re lief of down-trodden humanity, and for the honor and glory of' Goid! The venerable Patriciai here ceased, and sank to the earth, overpowered with the sublimity and grandeur of the prospect spread out before him. lut say, honored Patrician, speakest thou truly the words or Prophecy, oir is thine the language of' the wild enthu siast, proceeding fron the extravagan ees of a disordered brain ? Speak Tell me, can these things )e in store for happy America; and shall we inl deed realize the full fruition of all thou list told me? For shame, thou doubting, inlfidel man ! Caust thou not read the signs of' the times, written as with a sun beui athwart the clear, expanusive .aultof heaven ? Aye, Ill these things, and mlore than these, shalt thou behold, ere the great millennial day of Tem perance shall burst upon the enraptur ed vision of the word ! Then shall the Ungel, whose mission it has been to bind up the broken-herted, to direct the wvanIderer, and treaisure up the tearis of' the disconsolate, as in a bo'ttle, to stand as a perpetual iiemuorial bet'ore the throne of' the Father, to kindlec his wrath against those who have caused them to flow-the Angel of .Mer'cy and Benevolence, shall then lay asidec the pitying emiploymeiit, which has so 1(ong engrosse its attetion and on a lhr mor'e delight'ul mission, aind on wings of'gold, speed his way to earth, to all who hiav'e come up to the help, of the Lord against the mighty. Tlhein shall due honor lie given the Whites, the Cai'eys, the Gouighs, thle Hunts, the Grants, the Gallys, the O'Neahls, the DLilahiuntys, and a/i who hiave led ihr wamrd the mighty phalanx of' this invin cible and victoi'ious army; while not a soldier' in the entire ranks, however hiuble or feeble, if' he have alike rev crencedl the kindred virtues of' temp~er ance, "fitith, god liness, br'otherly kind ness, charity,' but shall have joy and rejoicimg. Th'e old man ceased to speak, and I fervently exclaimed, "God grant that not a sinigle one of' the vast array may be found unworthy !'' "Amen !" responded the venei'able Patriarchi, with a sound that seemied to pierce the sky, and lie vanished from n.y sight ! Raleigh, N. C., Jani. 1, 1852. Those w~ho abandon themselves to drunkenness, if they do not die of In flamnation in the breast, pleurisies, or some other critical disorder, in the Flower of Life, do in athably sink into a premature Old Age, with all its weakness and all Its pains.

Perplexities abowat Party -piat-, forns., Carlyle's striking imageof modern! society applies most forcibly ..ton the present position of, the , compopent parts of the old parties, eeking to re-orgamiz for a regular campaign. Ile says that society now! ".is like a U pitchor of Egyptian tamed .vipers eaIk trying to. get its head above the other." This seems 1to -be the great struggle. now between tlielections of the old partes, and will be the 'mo- c tive power of each collectively, p should the difficulties of reorganiza tion and nomination be surmounted. These diffibulties and perpipxities in-I stead of diminishing have increased a Rs the pe-iod. for holding. the conven- h tion draws nigh, and -new. splits' are C perceptible every day in Congress 8 and out of it. It is idle tQ talk, at P this time, of there being but .two parties in the country. Noqeensible man will believe such slanig-no p.ru dent man would stultify himself by insistingon it. It is true th6t there c' b may possibly be a partial rebonciliA- b tion, and a common. struggle t-iade t by the former members of- the old - parties, for the purpose -of securing f the election of a candidaste who ' would represent more nearly their * different interests than the nomInee of the opposition-but the i-eusn c would only go to this exten, .no fur ther, and the foundation of edd would, be ' shd' 610Ya7-4t a rock. Let any man look at thie existing divisions in the old pat-ties on -a-tters not alone of personal preference f6I b particdiri- candidates, but of 'ri 0 ple also. Both Houses-4Wig and. t Democrat-are divided against tem. v elves. .- 01 The Whig party North is a trian gle, composed of Compromise, Frec soil, and Abolition Whig. South, it n is also a triangle composed of South- I ern Rights Whigs, most of whom act with Southern Rights Democratic . brethren-the Constitutional Union i Whigs who are for, and those who e are against the National Whig Con- tI volition. Thus the National Whig . party as at present composed, con lists of six parts to which.the schism be n Congress has added a seventh. T 1'le sharp sparing the House on Iounday between the Fillmore and ti Scott divisions will not tend to har- S. monize matters much. The crimina- a tions and recriminations were very P spicy. The squabble was, as usual, between the Southern men- the F Northern men smiled and held their peace, allowing the Kilkenny cat pro .ess to go on. When the last tail is ai left on the field they will step in and bi stick the bush in their caps as a tro- g1 phy of triumph. They prefer the PI South should perish by felo de se, c( rather than by the more violent pro eess of open assassination. Curious revelations were made during this controversy, which we shall lay be. r__e our readers, as the special Whig organs wvont -being stone deaf and a blind to anything that might disturb tc the harmony of the party. . lil So the Whig party is now 'an unit' 111 of seveni parts, each having wvonder- tL fu1 little atlinity for- the other. o Th'le Democratic pariy-whose to conveintioni meet in two weeks time, cc is not much better plight. It is at d< present composed of two great asec- g< tional divisions, like the other party, th embracing sever al minor divisions ini sa the bosom of each, between the g< members of which anything but a ar fraterntal feeling reigns. '1The Nor- fra thorn Democracy count among its ar numbers the friends of the Coinpro- es anise measures, and its'bitterest one- sti muies, the one insistin;;on its finality, su the other on the repudiation or final fo repeal of the fugitiva slave lawv, its rij only Southern feiture. g The Demnocrecy of Pennsylvania ne is a Compromise Democracy--that ari of Massachusetts and Ohio, a Frece- in soil Democracy-that of New York, arn composed of both. In the Southern re States the divisioti is between the ou Souther-n Rights mid Union Demo. or cracy, whose feelhgs are warmn, if ced niot cordial towardi each other. The of latter have been insisting on a Corn- tic promise test in th< Baltimore convena- ca tion, which thme fo-mar have steadily tol opposed. That dificulty--the stum- to bling block of thi Compromise after an nuch struggling in and out of Con- m< gress, was suppoed to have been ro- .th moved by a tacit understuding that the Convnniou wnnld ,nt rm1,11dh th t it on g of t oh i* (.l'eA4 zerges (q,& *ord.I) i irent reasons; 1Seeing'ithis, the outhern - Coniprornise Whigs I nd eiecats'who Would be'eiowdeci dt P b'oth 'ednentiona.,*re labdrilg iporect a ne and .indepeind'nt i& azaton-when a ew brand hes p6n flung into .theheart o( th4e, Locratio, camp,fly iichinay kin4le og most; dangerous and -devastating re.,.

Therefore,.on Friday last, Mr. IALE, in the Senate' fiung'idwn the auntlet of the.Freesoil .

' On Monday, Mr. PRESTQ KING, the House, made a siuilar - pro cianimeito.

No response wasmade either speech in either House. The attitude of ihe Freesoilers on th sides,is now bold and imposing. hey are determined not to be mis iderstood, will give no pledges to o South of indeninity for past, nor curitv for future anti-slavery agita an -but distinctly declare their -inci plea and position to be unchang I and unchangeable. The iWhig reesoilers have shown superior jock ig. They ha-ve accomplished by sinuation what their antagonists e seeking to secure by bluster it both oce upy identically the same ound. Such are a few of-the per exitiCs of parties, immediately pro ding the Baltimore conventions. [Southern Prese. From Lith.Unionville Journal. CoaUsm11oma ScIhools.
