FOR THE JOl'RNAL.
REPORT OF THE SUGAR CIir.rA' TK.M-
PERANCE SOC iF/rV.
Nearly two years since a few imlividuals
in the congregation of Sugar Cret-k, inllu-
cnccd by motives of fricndshii) and j;nud
will to their lellow-citiw'ns, rosolvri to t'orni
a Society for the siipjircssiun of inleinpt r-
aoce.
Knowing the stn*ngtli of thosi' pn jn'li-
ces which plead for habits long estalili^lu'd,
and the extent to which a love for anient
I'pints pervades the dillerent orders of tin-
conunumty, it wa-s fully e.\p«‘clud that the
attempt would ine«‘t with the ndicul- of
some, the false rcasoiimgof otlier>, and the
silent opjiosition of still more. Hut lx-lie\-
ing, as they had g(X)d mason to do, that it
tln*re who wi.sh to promote objcrts oppfts«>(l
to the vitiated inclinations of men, wait un-
til the voice of approbation be In aid from
all, that no iK'nevoleut design woultl ever U'
accomphshed. they determined to g-) for
ward, shielded by ihe consciongness of good
intent’ons ami a noble cause.
'I'he constitution adopted requires th(>s«i
who sign it toabeilain from distilled spirits,
cxcept as a i:?edicme in ca»e of Ixidily in-
firmitv, not to allow the use of them m their
faiiiili'oi, nor to provide them for the ciitcr-
taumient of their friendB, or f«>r (H'rsoiis in
their employ ment. At first about 'JO jier-
sons sul»s«’nbe«l the Constititiitioii. fciince
that tiirie the number has increav d to 73.
AiiHHig these we have heard no wlu.s{)er of
^:^lel that the jtfaud tU^' h»vt inkon if in-
conmrtent with liberty, or health, or friend
ship, the piwecutKHi of lawftil bu8iae«, or

ly showiu
In »*timating the U nefits w hich have rr.
wilted to society, it is very diiriciilt to M(H;ak
,witii pnvision. Ohaiiges in the habits and
’mariners of [M'ople, either giXKl or kid, are
generally grailu:il in their 0{>trations. and
otV*n gain a umtorm hikI growing intliw iicf
before they are much obHer^ed. And it ir,
not always the events which exnt; the most
att ntum or prMluce the most noi.se, that
poss‘»8 the greatest moral power or lead to
the happio^t results. \Ve not Ijeing able to
|)oint to any gri^at or glaring arlnevement,
(whie.h was never aimed at) the inference
Bhotild by no means Ix- drawn, that no qixxl
has bc«;n ellixted. One thing is certain;
that the immediate and perceptible etK'cts
of this Sot iety are considerable. W here its
influence is chiefly felt, the desila*iiig «mi-
«*s which lejul to mteiiiperaiice ha\o U-en
restrained ; the temptations to drunkeiuiess
liavc iK'en very much removed; tlie incen
tives to sobriety, and order, and Christian
virtue have been increased. Neiglilxjrscan
now shew to each other the evuiences of
hoBpitahtv, and aid cach otiier in tnuisact-
ing the ordinary Ixisine.'ss of life, w itliout
any thing to do with tiie means of intoxica-
tioo, or the marks of degi adat lo/i and vv relf:ii-
cdiiess ; and we may add, with as iniieh gixxi
livlmgand liarmon\ \ rontentmentasdram-
drinkers irdifiarily eitiier ltd or express.
ISiit what is coner ived still more iiii|K>r-
tant, the remot‘ and im|M-n:eptil)le el;;;els
of this asMK:iation may, and we trust will,
Jx! much greater. 'I'liis leads to the true
design of Tem|)eran e H*»eieties;—not so
miirli to correct evils w liir h nln ady exist,
as to pr: \ent those winch may oeeiir in fu
ture. To relbnii the intemix rate is in most
cases, a hojKile-is alfeiriftt ; but to pn;vent
Oien from iK'coming mi, is by no means iin-
practicablo. Human [Kiwer is not sullicient
to dra;^ the drunknrd from the vortex ol ru
in, but timely and prudent efiort" may keep
Iwck multitudes, who are swiftly approfieh-
ing the verge of destnirtion. No truth is
o.a))able of more clear demonstration or con
firmed by more melancholy expc’rience, than
that the habitval mi of ardent f.pirils leads
to the formation of these habits ol intoxi
cation which destroy thousands and tens ol
thousands year after year. And while the
ondimimshe*! use of them eontmues, and
human nature remains what it is, we can
dis*:over nothing whicli will free our eotin-
try from the rav:igcs of tliis nioiisler which
all giMxl men profi ’^s to ublior. But h t e/i- |'riiis is a (|n*f;iii)n for t»’m|H!riile :uen to an- the pre» rvafion of reason, health, propei-

inlierent traits of character,—whether he
partakes of the genius of his father.
Of this, however, we hare as yet seen
nothing authentic. He has been educated
|>robably by the Austrian Court, so as to bo
used as the circumstances of th' times may
r»!miirc for tlie benefit of Austria. He has
Ix'en so secluded from the world, as to ren*
d>r it diflirult to determine what his real
character is. It has been amusing to read
the speculations of ditTerent travellers: some
have awarded him a great share of genius,
v^hilo others have asserted that he posses-
s*fs neither talents nor a gool education:
the prolwbility is that neither the one or
the other class of these itinerans had any
means of know ing much about him, and
wrote merely for the sake of preparing
amusing sketches. Others have suul that
it was the [jolicy of Prince Metternieh to
k«s‘p him m ignorance of the world, and the
world in ignorance of him, with a view to
make of him a more pliant instrument for
the use of his grandfather. This we appre«
bend to Ix; the most probable conjecture.—

ncrdo/t'.—During the revolutionarv
war, eighty old (Jefinan soldiers, who af
ter having long servt^ umierdiflnrent mon-
archs »f Europe-, had retirfed to America
and e»nverted their swords into plough
shares, voluntarily t'ormed thenisclv es into
a company, and distinguished themselves
in various actions on the side of lilx-rtv.
Tlie capUin was nearly one hundred yea”^^
old, and had been in the army forty years,
and present in neventeen battles. The
dniminer was ninety-four; and the young
est man in the coqM on tlie verge of seven
ty. Instead of a cockade, each man wore
a piece of black cra(>e, as a mark of sorrow
for being obliged, at ao advanced a period
of life, to bear arms: “ But,” said the vet
erans, “ we should be deficient in grati-
tude, if we did not act in defence of a comi-
try which has affordfMl u.s a generous nsy-
kim, and prott'ctcd us from tyranny and
oppn'ssion.” Such a iDiiid of .s«>ldiers nev
er tx.‘fon‘, perhaps, app«?ared in any Ik'lil
