Gentlemen :?Your very kind invitation to attend your Temperance Mass Meeting and Pic Nic on the 23d September, has just come to hand, for which you will please accept my thanks. I do, really, very much regret that my other engagements render it out of the question for mo to attend your meeting. Mv (heart lias been lone: in the Temnerance movements of the country, and I, this dav, fcol as nrndi interested in the cause as 1 ever did. It is the cause of hnmanity, and, until it triumphs, our country must suffer to an extent which no man can calculate. To suppose that the triumph is to l>e eflfcclcd while the temptation to drink is at every hotel, muster ground and still house, is idle. The thoughtless aud the giddy head will he 11 ?'' -< ' ?"vjvu. oy 1110 lenijunuoD, in spue 01 me OCst resolutions, or the strongest legal restraints, that may be imposed upon the traffic ; for such seems to be incident to the J'allen nature of our race. To save us from the vice, the temptation must Lc removed. The failure of the great Washingtonian revival, and all the kindred efforts made by tho good men of the country, fully proves this. Former movements have ^oneinuch, very much good. Ardent spirits arc no longer a necessary article of entertainment at the social board ; vast nunitbers of young men renounce their use and n._ui.. i mi.~ VISUIUI^ net luvir mt'en li. 1 Xiu iii??n of our ladies no longer pledge with the wine, and the Church lias set its seal upon it. But there is Btill a vast army of drunkards that can never be reformed unlet* the temptation be removed from them, who would bo the first to bless us for a ,1'rohibi wy inn, K'j UIIIUII, ?IUl? 1IIIJ I IM'^' WUUIU l)C saved, but the multitudes that cannot lx: numbered, who, under their influence, would fall into their ranks, would never take the first step- Prohibition must now bo our motto. The temptation must bo removod, and, therefore, no man be allowed to make or sell spirits to be used at the place sold. I repeat that I regret my inability to ;Ik with you. May your meeting bo harmoni outs and blest wit!) the best results, i . I ara SiQn < &BOI&), ... ? - yvr Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 1,1850. Gentlemen :?Yours of the 21st August lias been received some days. An earlier answer would have been sent ; but I hoped l>y delaying a short time, so to arrange my business, as lo be with you on the 23d inst. Professional engagements, long since contrasted, counnaml my 2>ersonal services on that day. Putnam Superior Court includes that day. In that Court, I have a cause of great! importance to my clients. Therefore, you j p- rc ivc I cannot come on the 23d, without roach of good faith. I liavc been unable to procure the services of one of my brethren. Believe me, when I say, gentlemen, that I regret, cxcccdiuyly regret, the sternness of the ncccssity which keeps me from voui assemblage. 1 would esteem it as a distinguished privilege, the opportunity to mingle my tears, and voice, and prayers with an}', and every temperance man in Abberille District. Abbeville, the cradle of mv childhood, and the resting place of my ancestors ! Oh ! how many of tlicm ft-ll beneath the "Joab thrusts" of tlic insidious enemy. It lured and ruined. May you, on the 23d, erect a moral dyke that shall stay the swelling flood of intemperance. And may the God of all Grace give you wisdom, and firmness and indomitable perseverance in this great cause, till not a grog-shop, nor drunken man, nor heart-broken woman, nor poor houseless, homeless, ragged, uneducated child shall! be found in your proud State. Sincerely yours, 15.11. OVKUHY. SiM.rm nSrnixtss, (la., Sept. 1, 1 8.10. ticiit/i'iiirii I was just on tin.' eve of starting for this place when 1 received your kind letter of August 2i?, and this will account to yon for my delay in giving a reply. T wish I could respond to your pleasing invitation, to attend your approaching Temperance meeting, in a more favorable strain tlian I dare adopt. I think it not absolutely impossible, but extremely improba-j ble, that T shall be able to be with you, on ! that interesting occasion. My health, though better than it was a year ago, is not very good, and I am almost incessantly pressed with professional aad other duties. The dedication of my new church may come oft' about that lime, though 1 fear it will be delayed till the middle of October. T will think of the subject, converse with j Athens friends, watch the indications of J'rovidence, and endeavor to do, or to gr>, whatever or wherever God bhall direct. I rcjoice that you and others are about to make one more effort to arrest, and to roll back the present rising, fiery, threatening flood of intemperance. I am alarmed at the evident increase of this awful destroyer of all that is pure, and ; sacred, and peaceful in domestic life?of all j mat is war to man in this world ami the! world to come, so far as that destroyer is! clothed with power. This monster hand received, as we hoped, a deep, deadly wound. Hut of late, 1 have solemnly feared that "his deadly wound was healed"or, at least, that he was convalescent. And if Hfl TTt?l*r?ltnn ilnftnaee j ?"1 "oj I U>VJI our beloved country. People may excuse the matter as they please, apologize as they sec fit ; but if Gal. 5, 10?21, inclusive, be true, drunkards can no more go to Heaven tlian idolaters, or murderer*, or adulterers. Oh, strange that men can speak of drunk eniH'SS as a menial offense ! , But I must close this hasty note.?I hope you and the other friends of Temperance may be greatly encouragcd in your efforts to enlighten the public mind, in reference to one of the greatest evils that ever cursed mortal man.' Most respectfully your?, gentlemen, , N. IIOYT. Sons of Temporanco. ( At a meeting of the Abbeville Division, \Ta 1 ^IntiQ nf Tnmnorfln/>n . tlifl fallAirln/y Resolutions were submitted, and unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the thanks of the Division are eminently due, and Are hereby ten, dered, to those of our friends not connected with the Division, who have so liberally j aided us in providing our Temperance Pic Nic, and who, by th^ir presence, and sympathy. Have cheered uaon {he occasion. Resolved, That our thanks are especially ; due to the ladies, for their very general at tendance at our celebration ; for their respectful a'.tcntion and encouraging smiles ; and that from these circumstances, we draw the best auguries of success to our cause for tiio future. Resolved, That wo tonder our hearty thanks to the Cokcsbiiry Bond, for the very excellent music, with which they have enlivened our festivities. Resolved, That the thanks of tlie I isioii are hereby tendered to those of our friends, who have furnished the intellectual feast of the occasion, and who, whilst they have cheered our hopes and streiifrthoiu*.! ? - -p our principles, have given an onward impetus to the glorious cause wo are prosecuting. Resolved, That these Resolutions he published in the District papers. li. A. FAIR, W. P. J. G. Edwards, H. S. Consequences of Disunion. lion. \V. li. Ileed, of Philadelphia, has written a letter to the citizens of Franklin county, Pennsylvania, in which ho thus forcibly depicts the consequences of disunion : i remember, years ago, oti a bright sum-1 trier's afternoon, toiling up the turnpike I road on the Cove Mountain, in your county, and when I reached the summit, turning to gaze f?n as beautiful a scene as ever gladdened my eye?the valley of peaceful beauty which stretches oft* to Maryland and towards the Potomac. It is a familiar scene to most of you. To me it was new, and its impression has never faded from mv mind. As far as the eye could reach there was fertility?the si?;ns ?>f trampiil industry : all Was 1 u?:iliti11 !! ''--I ' | 1 Ji'-iin'illl It IOUKCU. as it was, like tin? of a happy ami united people. The political line, separating lVnnsylvania from Maryland, traced l?V those old fashioned surveyors, Charles Mason and Jeremiah I >i.\on, was visible to no eye. The trees on which they marked it had long been felled or disappeared. Many a farm was separated by it, but, except in the eye of the law, no one knew it or eared about it. 1 have often?for painful thoughts are thrusting themselves upon me?recalled j that scene, of actual beauty ami united in- j terest, and realized what it would be?what j your condition will be?what must be the condition of every county of this Commonwealth lying on the Maryland line?Chester, Lancaster, York, Adams, Franklin, Fulton, Bedford, Somerset, Fayette and Greene? if disunion be forced on us, and the rupture be, as it would be. between wlmt nm popularly but falsely called the free and the slave States, between us and Maryland. I wish ever}* man could be made to understand what a frontier is, even that of civilized life. Its daily, hourly vexations and dangers?its line of custom houses to keep the smuggler in and out?the crowds of fugitives from justice and labor, infesting every avenue and concealed in everv thicket ?the murderer striking down his victim to-day and flying with the fresh blood on his hand to a foreign territory to-morrow? the bickering, the strife, the hot blood of coterminous dispute?all this, would be the daily doom of every Southern county of this State; and across the beautiful valley I have spoken of would be distressingly visible, the actual broad, perhaps bloody, line which disunion mnet Tl.io true, though hard to conceive. IVnnsylvania, and you, c-itizons of Franklin county, have so long reposed in (lie very centre of the Union, that you cannot understand how you can become a frontier and how you will suffer when you do. Presidential Election. The Edgefield Advertiser, one of the very best of Carolina papers, thus utters his thoughts and hopes of the pending Presidential election. Whilst we are hardly prepared lo express a dccidcd opioion as to what will be the effect of Buchanan's den tion and administration upon the anti-slavery party, we do hope, with the Advertiser, that "the country and tho Constitution will be saved." Presidential.?The canvass waxes hot. Ten weeks more will decide who shall bo next President, and in that decision is involved tho question of the permnnence of tho Union. We think that all will come right?that Buchanan will bo elected by a handsome majority?that his administration will be a brilliant one?that during its progress and under its auspices tho sound Democracy will grow in strength at the North nntil every ism shall be swept away before tho cleansing torrent of it* power? that Black Republicanism will, at the expiration of the next four years, lie so disabled and disgraced jus to be powerless for further evil?that true Conservatism will be lifted up by the force of circumstances into a tower of- strength?and, finally,'that the country and the Constitution will be saved. Tho belief may be a deceptive one; but we believe as we hope. We look with faith to that Almighty Providence which led us so wondrously through the Reyolation, and we say to ourself?".Surely that wrack* was not wrought ia vaiiC . HI 1X j B - j J}' 9 f4 f 5 ' ! * To my Mother. The following lines, written by a convict in the Ohio^Penitentiary, are touchingly beautiful. We have seen nothing of late that has so moved our sympathy. The man who can write such poetry, who has such thoughts, cannot be utterly depraved. The curse of intemperance, with its attending downward influence, has here done its work, and a spirit noble and generous, that might and should be the pridu and ornament of the social circle, is now tho degraded convict in the walls of the Penitentiary.
