They do this the more willingly, because they feel convinced that wrong impressions exist relative to it, and these must be removed, ere the hopes of its friends can be realized. 3(  <VȬ We live in a society of a most interesting character -- our College is increasing in a fixed population of a highly respectable order, who have come here with large families for the education of both sexes, and amid this fixed and settled class, we believe that a larger portion of children can be found, than in any other village of equal size in the state. Besides these, the College draws from all parts of the state and from our sister states, those who are to become one day the legislators of the country, and the female Academy brings a comparatively large number of the future friends, wives, and mothers of these and future legislators. this being so, can there then be any duty of an earthly nature, paramount to this which devolves upon us who reside here, to place before this congregated society, such EXAMPLES OF PRACTICAL VIRTUE, as shall exert a beneficial influence over them during life? Shall we give liberally PRECEPTS, but render those precept unavailing by an opposite conduct? Is it more important to lay a scientific foundation, on which only early exaltation rests, or that moral one, which enhances every qualification, and devoid of which, the finest talents are a curse to possessor and country? But we may go further, and add, that this moral basis is the basis of eternity; and that if the temptations of the adversary of man be successfully resisted, (and this can be done by moral education) one of the greatest and most widely beaten tracks to destruction is closed.

The gambler may reform -- the more undisguised thief may turn from his evil ways, but the victim of intemperance so seldom, as to be regarded as an almost miraculous interposition of an Heavenly arm in his behalf. if this be the case, and who can deny it? Can we commence too soon that course of life, that is to stamp a character upon all around? Touch not, taste not, handle not, is the scriptural direction, and should be placed by the side of the all-important supplication in the prayer taught by the blessed Savior, lead us not into temptation.3M( <VȬ In establishing a Temperance Society, we do not call on those alone who drink, to come and join us. -- We invite and earnestly, all temperate men, who touch not, who taste not, who handle not. Their influence as individuals is great,,as an associated body it will be immensely increased -- We wish to form a nucleus around which to collect public opinion, and to array religion, virtue, and abstinence from ardent spirits against INTEMPERANCE --no man is bound to pursue the course, and obey the regulations to be prescribed by our constitution during his life -- if he wearies of our self-denying plan, after trying it for one, two, or more months, and long for the flesh pots of Egypt, he is allowed to withdraw without censure, though it will be with regret -- but we would fain hope that a few months experience of the healthful vigor of mind, superadded to that of body, will test the excellence of our plan to a degree that will prevent the wish for a change form arising.GJ ) =<VȬ Members of the Churches are requested to come forward and join us. -- It is true that by the constitution of one Church (and would to God it were the case with that of the sister Churches) that Church is an already organized Temperance Society -- but we need their experience, we need their example to give us practical weight in society, to enable us to move with that forcible influence, that is necessary to produce the maximum of benefit. On Wednesday week, another meeting is respectfully requested of all who are friends to morals and good order, and who are friendly to the cause of temperance.
