We have always thought intoxicating liquors were made by house in Walker street, where he was found, as none have been men, but this writer thinks otherwise, perhaps he knows best, given to which we feel willing to give full credence. Mr, G. as he is more accustomed to its use; yet we should like to see has remained at the house of his friend Mr. Hurlburt in a very some of his liquor before we give up our opinion. Finally, he prostrate conditition, but is recovering, and will soon give a says " And those who are able to maintain their equilibrium statement under his own hand to the public. Until then we under these circumstances, need never call upon the aid of a refrain from any argument upon the subject, as it would be entemperance pledge to protect them." ["Aye-there's the tirely useless, and lead to no good results. We say to our rearub,"'—to maintain their equilibrium. We wonder if he orders wait patiently, as we intend to do, until the matter is sift any other drinker never lost it.) "Whilst those who unfortunately are cursed with an innate appetite for stimulus of some kind, we are afraid will never be benefitted by any pledge, oath, or bond, however solemnly taken; if they do not indulge in liquor, they will in something else; and to expect them to change the nature which they unfortunately are born with and probably inherit, is as much out of the question us to expect the poor consumptive invalid, who has descended from a long line of consumptive parents, to change his entire system by simply signing a pledge to that effect."

There, that argument is too deep for us, we cannot see the "gist" of it. If a man has an appetite for rum he need not try to give up its use, he can't, its impossible. He will take to "something else;" he can't change "his nature." Hear that. ye hundred thousand (and more) consistent reformed men, is it A man born with a rum drinking nature! Perhaps that is true, but we must give up, as we have never studied the operations of nature far enough to find out that fact.

JOHN B. GOUGH.

Probably before the issue of our paper this week, all, or

ed and probed to its bottom, we shall then feel justified in ma. king remarks upon the subject. There is one report that we must help nail down now, that is that Mr. Gough has been for a long time in the constant habit of using opium. This has been proved to our entire satisfaction to be untrue.

There have been many things connected with this affair which have grieved us much, one is the course of many of the daily papers; but their true character has been shown, in the avidity with which they receive reports and exaggerated stories. and hurl them against the temperance cause, thus showing their deadly hostility to the work.

But we have been more astonished at the conduct of many who are the professed friends of temperance, even its public advocates. We have heard such men condemn Mr. Gough in no measured terms. Is this right, is it just? If Mr. Gough has fallen by his own accord is he net to be pitied-have no others fallen,-the spirit of kindness at least would cause men to refrain from such expressions until the facts are proved, which they are not. We would not gloss over nor conceal his fault, if it be his fault, the truth is what we want, and nothing but the truth; to such as hurl their unrighteous indignation

those who remember the fascination of his eloquence, his glo

him rise to a height that few have reached-we say wait, for rious gift, his eloquent and heartfelt appeals-who have seen his very heart is bleeding over his fall, and he may rise again in justified innocence. To those who glory and rejoice in his deep fall, we say, beware, for if, as ye think, Gough could not fangs; and the hour of your deeper, far deeper fall, may be at resist the destroyer, how can ye be safe who play with his

hand.

nearly all of our readers will have read the statements in the against a fallen brother we say, take heed lest ye too fall. To daily papers in reference to the disappearance of Mr. Gough, Every description of story has been told, some with a shadow of authority and some with none, many of them the mere in ventions or opinions of the writers themselves. We have endeavored to obtain, by every means in our power, some clear statement, which we could give to our readers by authority, and which could be depended upon; but we have been unable to obtain such an one, and therefore, upon our own authority, shall make no statement. The affair is yet a mystery, notwithstanding all that has been said. We have conversed with the friends and relatives of Mr. Gough, and they know no more than others, except what Mr. G. himself states. That statement is simply as follows. On Friday evening, 6th inst., he left the Croton Hotel, to take a walk before retiring for the night; went into Saxton & Miles Book store, and afterwards stopped to look at the engravings in Colman's window. Here he was accosted by a young man, whom he recognized as a former acquaintance, named Williamson. After some conversation he was induced to take a glass of soda water; they proceeded to Thompson & Weller's, but finding it crowded, they went to another place where two glasses were obtained. As the first glass was poured out his companion took it in his hand, placing his hand over the glass in a natural position, and handed it to him. He drank it, and almost immediately felt a strange exhiliration, and soon became giddy. After the drinking of the soda water, he recollects but little more, and cân give no clear statement of what took place.

Such has been the reiterated statement of Mr. Gough,and our readers must be satisfied with it until proof pro and con is before them. We refrain from statements of what took place at the

And let us also remember that there are sorrows which arise neither from sickness or want, but which are the sorrows of the heart; to such let our sympathies be extended, here let our brotherly affection manifest itself in kindness and forbearance, let us not look upon his sufferings with coldness or neglect; in the small courtesies of life consists its endearments, " a wounded spirit who can bear." If our brother be in adversity and we assist him-if he be in trouble and we forsake him not-if the bonds of affection that unite us be not broken-if the true and holy precepts of Rechabitism be enshrined in our hearts-then shall the spirit of peace dwell within our tents-then shall harmony and joy prevail throughout our borders.

FRIENDSHIP TENT, No.-A new tent, bearing this name, was opened on the 15th of August, at Aquacknonck, N. J., by the District officers of N. J. We have this week received a letter informing us of the opening of the tent, and stating that a letter was sent us three weeks since, which letter we are sorry to say was never received. We have not room for the whole of Bro. Speer's letter this week, but insert the following:-" We have a fair prospect of a great increase shortly, and from among "Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye nor your sons for the most influential men in the place. Aquacknonck is a flourever."—Such was the express command of Jehovah, by the ishing town, containing a goodly number of inhabitants, three mouth of his prophet, to the venerable and obedient patriarch churches, and several large manufactories in its vicinity; among whose name and habits, at least so far as the above injunction which are two paper mills, an iron foundry, cotton and calico implies, we have adopted. And although many of us have ex-factories." The following is a list of the officers installed at the perienced a change, which we never could have conceived, by a stout adherence to the principles of total abstinence-a change from misery and want to comfort and happiness; and although the principle may be the fundamental and absolute foundation of our Order, are there not some other duties almost equally essential, and amongst the foremost is Brotherly Love! And let it never be lost sight of, that, upon entering into our family compact, we bind ourselves to the free and full exercise of those affections and kindly feelings which ought, upon the broad scale of benevolence, to be extended to the whole human race; but in a particular manner should they ever be exchanged between the members of one particular family, between brother and bro. ther; and if we were duly to consider our own deficiencies and imperfections, we should much more readily forgive the defects of others. The first advancement on the road to knowledge is to know we are ignorant, and it is only the vain and the weak who despise the judgment of others, and their vanity and pride usurps the place of affection in their bosoms. An honest emu lation is laudable-we can endeavor to raise and exalt ourselves E. S. Hawks, Sh'd; S. Burlingame, P. C. R.; L. Thompson, in the ways of virtue without envying the merits of another, C.

lousy, malice or hatred, we shall only reap unto ourselves the gall and bitterness which are their certain consequences. And the man under such influences, having no love in his heart, wil consider all men like himself-he will speak of another's failings with pleasure, and his own will recoil upon him with twofold contempt.

If merit, zeal, integrity and worth in the person of a brother, raise him to distinction and office in the Order, let not his exaltation be looked upon with envy, but rather allow the reward

GREY LOCK TENT, No. 124.-The "Transcript," published at North Adams, Mass., where this Tent is located, in connection with a very commendatory notice of our paper, publishes the letter of Bro. Keeler, giving the account of the opening of the Tent. We thank the Transcript for its favorable notice, and for the correction of the mistakes in our list of the officers; the cause of which was bad manuscript. As so many of the names were wrong we republish a correct list.

BE PROMPT.-There is nothing that adds more to the character of any society than promptness in its officers and members, How little interest in the affairs of a tent does it show, when at the hour of meeting not more than half of the officers are present. Or if they are in their places there are but a few scattered members seated in different parts of the Hall. There is no disputing the fact that the most flourishing tents are those whose officers and members are always present to the time, and in their places at every meeting.

CONSISTENCY.

[Communicated.]

Oh, consistency! thou emanation from the Deity, how glorious art thou. In thee we recognize the spirit which shone forth resplendent in those holy men who, influenced by thee, sealed their principles with their blood. What, oh! what is man without thee? Little indeed is thy worth considered in the present day, yet how does thy absence degrade that person with whom thou dwellest not. Without thee how soon does he become a mere cypher in the scale of society-nay, worse than this-how much serious injury does he, not only to himself and those immediately connected with him-but to those also with whom he may be otherwise in any manner associated. Especially would we here reflect and mourn over the disastrous effect of thy absence in those who, having entered into covenant with us, regard not their obligations as they should, and carry not out the principles of our Order to their full extent.

Come thou ennobling principle and dwell in the heart of every brother. Come thou resplendent jewel, and add thy bright beams to the glory of Rechab's diadem.

It seems to be thought by many of the brethren, that by not partaking of the intoxicating cup themselves, by prohibiting the use thereof in their families, and not paying for it when consumed by others; they do all that is comprehended in, or required by the pledge which they take when they enter our Order.

I have known some-(and I ask the forbearance of brethren while I speak thus plainly)-I say I have known some who, although other places have been equally convenient, have given frequent encouragement to the grog-seller in his nefarious traffic, by purchasing soda water, cigars, &c., at the bar of his establishment. And I have known others who, their consciences not allowing them to pay for intoxicating liquors for the gratification of their friends, have, without thinking of the inconsistency of such an act, lent money, and that voluntarily, too, to enable those friends to purchase the same for themselves.

Having noticed these things I deem it my duty and privilege thus to speak, and I now ask of such brethren, is this consis tent? and is it not calculated to cause the finger of scorn to be pointed at you by the enemies of our Order, and to cause them to say in terms of sarcastic contempt-" There goes a Rechabite!" Will it not curtail your usefulness, and prevent you from making converts to our principles? will it not bring great discredit on yourself? and more than this will it not bring our beloved Order into disrepute.

By thus doing can you satisfy your conscience that in every way you are discountenancing the USE, MANUFACTURE and SALE of intoxicating liquors; and that you are doing all you can to spread the principles of total abstinence.

CROTON TENT, No. 123.

WOBURN, Mass., Aug. 22, 1845. Worthy Brothers :-The above named Tent was organized. Ang. 22nd, under the most favorable auspices, Among the of ficers and members may be found those who have fought long and valiantly in the cause of temperance--men whose souls are engaged in this glorious enterprise-men whose hearts can feel and share another's woes, whose hands can bind up the bruised flesh, whose tongues can offer words of consolation to the disheartened and heart-broken victims of vice, and point their souls upward to that star of hope which beams so brightly for those who forsake the ways of intemperance. Well did they perform their part in ridding this town of a worse than plague with which it was infected, in the shape of half a score or morc rum shops. Much remains to be done to make clean work-and now that a new organization has been effected in this place, with a broad field for future usefulness before them. it is hoped much good will be the result.

PERSEVERANCE TENT, No. 118-This new tent, located in Brooklyn, is flourishing finely. Every meeting new members are proposed, and others added to the tent. Their business is conducted in such a manner, and the attendance of officers and members such as to insure them success in extending the principles and benefits of Rechabitism.

We would recommend, that during the summer months-the brethren of every tent make arrangements for lectures at their regular meetings, these lectures to be delivereu by some brother belonging to such tent, and they shall be expository of some principle of the Order. Also from time time a public lecture, for the purpose of keeping their principles before the public.
