Then huzza for a Temperance crew.

 Set her topsails, and slip— and the danger is past ; 



Then huiza for a Temperance crcu. 



EXTRACTS 



From Hon. J. Q. Adams's Mdress before Urn JVor- 

 fotk County Society for the Suppression oj In- 

 temperance. 



"Of all animated beings, man alone excepted, 

 the appetites are proportioned to the wants. When 

 the food necessary for their continued existence 

 has been taken, their appetite ceases to crave for 

 more. It is so with man in the earliest stajie of 

 his infancy, but as he advances to maturity and ac- 

 quires the capacity of selt'-control, his appetites 

 transcend his wants — the food necessary for the 

 sustenance of his body becomes a stimulant to the 

 enjoyment of sensual pleasure ; tlie appetite itself 

 becomes sharpened and vitiated by indulgence ; 

 he riots in excess till his whole system, physical 

 and moral, becomes corrupted and depraved ; he 

 loses all self-control, all sense of difference be- 

 tween right and wrong, all sentiment of his obliga- 

 tion.s to his fellow creatures, all eensibility ic ihe 

 tenderest ties of kindred blood and of wedded love, 

 all reverence for his country, and all duty to his 

 God, and dies in the convulsions of a delirium tre- 

 mens, an outcast from earth and heaven ! 



"Fellow citizens! is this a fancy picture that I 

 have brought before you ? Are its colors over- 

 charged ? Is it the portraiture of the poor and the 

 ignorant alone ; or does it include numbers, untold 

 numbers, of the wealthy, of the learned, of the 

 powerful, of the exalted, among your countrymen 

 and mine? Of the men who have gone down to 

 dishonored graves, under the spell of this fascina- 

 tion, must you go into the hovels of poverty, and 

 the receptacles of obscure infamy, to search for the 

 victims? Yes — there you will find them, driven 

 thither as to their last refuge upon earth, by their 



besetting sin — but not there alone shall you find 

 iheu'. Go into your crowded theatres — go to your 

 populous race courses — go to your honorary public 

 dinniMS — nay, enter the assemblies of your legisla- 

 tions, the tribunals of your judicial courts, the halls 

 of your National Congress, the very temples of Al- 

 mighty God, and where shall you fail to find a man 

 far downward gone in this descent to the abyss of 

 perdition, and descending with railroad speed, per- 

 haps unconsciously to himself, and like the help- 

 less adventurer in a bark floating unawares into 

 the rapids of tho Niagara, and borne by the rest- 

 less stream over the precipice, to be da.shed into 

 eternity upon the rocks below, leaving not a ruin 

 of the sufferer to be found. 



" In the history of the human race, we are in- 

 formed by tho Holy Scriptures, that the fall of our 

 first parents from Paradise was occasioned by in- 

 temperance. Total abstinence was the command 

 and the condition upon which the enjoyment was 

 held of immortal life, and of every other blessing 

 which had been bestowed without restriction or 

 stint. Temptation induced in(tm/)ertfnce — the con- 

 dition was violated — death was the penally, and 

 the world was lost." 



" After the awful and tremendous annihilation 

 of tho human species, one man with his family only 

 e.xcept^d, Noah, the second founder ol the race, 

 ^ began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vine- 

 yard, and he drank of the wine and was drunken.' 



" Noah had been spared from the general de- 

 struction of mankind by the Hood, and preserved 

 for the continuity of the species, because he was a 

 just man and perfect in his generation, and walked 

 with God. 



'Mt is evident that when he planted his vine- 

 ysrd and drank of the wine, he knew not the con. 

 sequences that would follow. The vsnt had been 

 one of the natural productions of the earth before 

 the flood ; but distillation from the grape had not 

 been invented ; and the discovery of it by Noah 

 was imiiiediiitely followed by shame to himself, and 

 by calamity to his posterity scarcely less deplora- 

 ble than if he and his children had perished with 

 the rest of mankind by the flood."

OREEJI^^ PATENT STRAW CUTTER. 3 



JOSEPH BRECK &- CO. at the New England Agricul 

 lural Warehouse asd S-.d Store Nos. 51 and 52 North Mar- 

 ket Street, have (or sale, Green's Patent Straw, Hay and 

 Stalk Cutler, operating on a niecaanical principle not belnie 

 applied to any impleftient for this purpose. The most prom- 

 ineiit effecls of this a;pplicauon, and some of the cousequeiit 

 peculiarities of the niachme are : 



1 So "reat a reduction oi the quantum of power requisite 

 to use it, that the strength,<.f a half grown boy is sufficient 

 to work it etlicienlly. 



2 With even this moderate power, iteasilycutstwobush- 

 els a minute which is full twice as last as has been claimed 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or steam 

 power. 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in whichtlisy 

 cui,' require sharpening less often than those of any other 

 straw cutter. 



■ 4 The machine is simple in its construction, made and put 

 together very strongly. It is therefore not so liable as the 

 complicated machiues in general use to get out ol order.
