WILUlAM A SHAW. . It wa far easier task' to convince mankind of the degrading n- ikem&of vice, than to engage peir efforts cordially on the sWe of virtue. But next to being vicious ourselves, there is no more culpable act of the inlividual-Hoompiunity, than giving a license to gross vices. Shy every oncliowever humble, has an influence which he is exerting silently or openly, and which; although be may be unconscious of it, will tell fearfully at that great daif, wlien all the events of this world, now deemed by many so frivolous, will burst foi-tlt in their true character" of portentous magnitude. It is easy for a virtuous community-to repress tire first encroach ment of vice ; but when unbappi y immoral habits have fpv a long ime received a degree of countenance which diminishes their tur pitude in the eye of apatliy and vitiated public opinion, they may obtain so strong ahold m the aflfections of the majority, as to permit tliem iba easily irtgrafjed inter the social: constitution The melancholy spectacle is then, presented of a whole community cherishing the viper which she Imdndiscreetly: admitted into lier bosom, whose stings .be haoceji inflicted upn her children, and'' the mark of whose envenomed fangs were plainly visible here and there, over her whole 'body. When she is implored to pluck the u'n'afteful -BPTlienilm lier bosom, she only clasps- it the closer, and stands forth herself as the defender of the greatest enemy of her happiness.. She dnounces as agitators, those who only liye to strain every nerve to promote her peace, and calls them cbr rwpt who devote their lives to iave her from corruption- Should attempts he'made bjfii to stem the foul flood-tide offices which' tiirea;ens to deluge th land, sthe turbid waves or catiiinnv and ridicule .break in empty fury ver their devoted heads. ! Such, sir, is a miniature sketch of the .difficulties and obstacles, with which the advocates of Temperance have bad to contend.: .From the ve ry first moment whenHhey began to expose the cvilsj and take suitable measures to eradicate the vice of Intemperances they hay e every where had to encounter not only the opposition of ignorance, hut the sneers and misrepresentations of many, who frOm apathy, Interest or caprice, lueobstinately shutjthoir eyes to3 the light incredible as it may scethsorae picn ai-e, or pretend to 6e; so to tally ignorant of the nature -anjd objects of these Societies; that a member of a $ckty jor suppressing drunkenness, is estimated in their minds as ptidpng but on degree above a staggering besot ted drunkanl. ;lTbose who join these Societies, are misrepresent- u uC isno nave wepx in secret over past excesses, and lecossary t: contirm tlieir cH-denal, by joining a Tern pe iocietyi Sir, I protest in ;khe outset, -in 'behalf of nineteen Societf- as well as for motives to oiiijoiriing : f'l 'A ! mv association trorn such lonj and false impiitations, as well as to indicatf its true character, shall be the obiect of this Address. ! -r rriM-,,rtl a supejiciaii ooserver, indeed, who has not remarked the rapid progress of civilization within tlieast ni. arid- ot a century. The inarch-of mi iid has been attested in so ma ny aU various ways, that its evidences could hardly have esca ped even his notice. The rapid advancement in the Art4 and Sci- c..u, wu. winiKiratively wide-diffusion of-knowledffe amone the perance Society in the world ; now what is the state of things T There are 21 State Temperance Societies already formed. Thai are more than 4,000 Temperance Societies in the United, States, There are more than 500,000 persons pledged to total abstinence from ardent spirits. There are more than 600 vessels sailing out, of our ports without ardent spirits for use among the crews. More than 1,500 distilleries have been stopped. Two hundred public houses have discontinued selling any kind of intoxicating liquors. More than 4,000 mbrchaiits have given up the traffic ill ardent spirits. More than 4,500 drunkards have become reform-, ed. There were in the United States 375,000 regular drinkers competence and treedom trom absolute dependence on by far- the majority of our race. Thus, latjoui froire being a:,icurse",:,is con Verted into a blessing, dispensinff cnoughi'df hamiiness to each iiii dividual, and peace, ordcriand virtue throu society. ' ;i -'-i ' m There is another' point of view in which th tairly submitted to thesnirit dealer. The con from the small amount of capital employed i una oiaie. ii is weii'Known to mose wito at with the question of the abolition: of the slave-trade in Great-BriS tain that great part of the mercantile capital Vaslnvestcd in slave ships. In Liverpool peciallyi ithe most wealthy merchants had long been engaged in it, 'and some of them owned ten or fifteen slave shijjs. Ihe traffic was handed down from father to son, through a long scries ;of years.! Hence, very naturally, great difficulty resulted on the part of the mercantile community and hey contended, that the government was pledged to, the protec tion of their' commerce and urged the rejection of the bill. They field up before the public the great sacrifices they would be com .pelled t6 make, Should the abolition be effected. The bill passed nevertheless, and who will condemn it? i Sir, the traffic in ardent spirits is ai far greater evil wlien all is taken Into account. Tlis 'traffic- in the Novthcrn cities is large, where there are wholesale dealers; but we see that by voluntary abandonment, a geat di fninution has already taken place even there. Now what is the fact as to the spirit trade in North-Carolina? Every body knows, that the capital of grocers is very small especially -retail grocers, and the amount invested by. merchants, in the spirit trade, is still smaller. Sir, I cannot see the great degree of oppression in ad vising merchants then to divert this small .amount of capital into some more profitable and harmless channel.

This is a grave charge and iJemands a serious refutation. Let us exa-nine the state of this question, in order to arrive at correct conclusions. But laying aside! all the host rj evils connected with intemperance, J shall endeavor to sliew that the trafic in Ardent Spirits is not only in jurious to ihe pecuniary interests of individuals, but also to the community, and to the dealer himself, not only as a member of that cmunity, but as a general trader ; 1 speak chiefly of mer chant relailers. It is a well known fort.. Sir. that commerer! i ehiefl dependant on manual labour, and of these Agriculture is at thethead. The prosperity of both these are inseparably con necteih insbniuch that an interchange of supply and demand is established between them. The prosper ify of the merchant tlren must depend on the steadiness of demand on the part of his cus tomer f on his ability to raise produce to payijiiui ; and in a woim! oh the degree of labour, economy wealth and liberality of the Agricultural population. Now I would ask, whether does sobriety or t intemperance most .encodrage these desirable virtues of political and domestic economy ? Who does not see daily, reeling, drunken, penny less, creditlss pauperisrh? Yet, rely oh it, Sir, when yhu inquiie into the past histbiy of eacil of these unfortunate menf the great majority of them ere once the regular customers of the geiieral trader, and his chief ai-ticles of purchase were tin? necessaries f life.
