This is the most weighty and general truth which has been presented. The fact is, the temperate people of, Vermont are justly chargeable . with all the pauperism, crime, anguish and death which result from the use of distilled spirit in the State, upon the same principle that an absolute monarch would be chargeable with the actions of an The Bible abounds with sentiments' en forcing upon men their duties to each other, and Jehovah declares to the prophet that the blood of those should be required at his hands whom he did not, warn of their dan ger. It was not in the power of Ezekiel to save the people lrom transgression, there fore to present the word of God was the ex tent of his ability. Not so with the people of Vermont. The whole fabric of intemperance, wilh all its 1 modifications and multifarious departments, a tuureiy urpenueui ior us existence upon their sanction and support. Its everlasting knell can be sounded by their frown and ac tive labor for its demolition, and by nothing ! else. Then will inquisition ftr blood be made, and they will be found with gory vestments, if the demon alcohol is not ov erthrown in his diabolical career. I it -a small matter that temperate, religious peo ple are lhe pillars which support this horrid fabric ? And is it not appalling to behold many relaxing into that precursor of com ing retribution, stupid insensibility, and fold ing their arms as if the work were accom plished, when they have signed the society pledge? Are there no common ties that bind man to man, whereby it becomes the duty of one to rescue his fellow from the jaws of the devourer? Thou shalt love ihy neighbor as thyself.' ' Do unto others as ye would that others should do to you.' These requirements of God are too impera tive and benevolent to be forgotten. No ra tional man would wish the right to cut his own throat. And yet there are many who would secure a tenfold more awful death, and exclusion from the kingdom oi heaven lor no drunkard can enter there and shall the intelligent and sober furnish" the means and sanction this act? Men are up holding the traffic by iheir choice of effi cers, who would shudder lo lisp a word in defence of the practice of rumselling, so di ametrically opposed to the happiness of mankind. Yet they effectually countenance and sustain the business by rendering it hon- oranie ana overshadowing it with lhe sacred dignity of laic. How can the vender, hard ened by his destructive habits, and blinded by self-interest, be expected to abandon the traffic, if those'who have nothing more than some insignificant political prejudice lo ov ercome, will stop notio their career to hind er the progress of this vice? They cannot be expected to desist. Men.will continue to vend alcohol, as long as it is sanctioned by the laws of the land, for there are those who disregard every principle of morality, and will not shrink at any crime if thereby their foitunes may be increased. There is one effectual process by which all the glori ous results to be anticipated from the full triumph of. temperance may be realized. L.et law enforce the mandates of public opinion, and alcohol will seek oblivion lrom its resistless power. Amicc3 Abstinentix Totalis. the multitude. Steamboat Accident.
