The Addresses of Several Holy Apostles Temperanoe, THE WHOLE MAINE LAW, AND NOTHING ELSE, The Speech of Barnum om ‘ndian File, &c. &e. &e. Last evening the first annual banquet of the Nationa; Holy Alliance of Temperance was given at Metropolitan Hall. The hour appointed for dinner was six o’clook but the company were not admitted till seven o clock. The numbers present were by no means as great as was expected. In the lower part of the house there were a great many vacant seats,and the upper part was not half filled. The banquet was a sorry affair; but that was not the fault of Mr. Harding, the proprietor of the Hail, who eupplied it—for the committee of managemen’ only allowed him one dollar per head, while they charged three dollars to the public. The attendance was very bed. There were probably from 1,000 to 1,500 pereons present, including old and young, of both Sexes--men, women, and children. The ladies constituted, perhaps, one half of the entire assemblage: ‘The individuals in the gallery looked down very wistfully on the viands below; but they did not lose half so mueh as they imagined, and, beyondall doubt. they had more value for fifty cents than the victims at the banquet for three dollars. To make up for the poverty of the repast, Dodworth’s Band was in attendance, and also the Alle- ghaniens, who discoursed some telerable music. The stage was occupied by the great guns and lights of the occasion, among whom were a goodly number of olergy- men. ‘The laity included Hon, Sam Houston, Texas; Hon. Neal Dow, Portland; ex-Mayor Aaron Clark; Gov. Haines, New Jersey; and P. T, Barnum, Bridgeport and New York. The clergy were as follows :—Rey. John Chsmbers, Philadelphia; Rev. T. L. Cuyler, Trenton; Key. flepry Ward Beecher, Brooklyn; Rey. G@. H. Oha- pin, New York; Rev. Dr. Cheever; Rev. 8. 8. Gorey; Rev. 3. B. Wakely, Newar . Dr. Dowling; Rey. J. B. Hagany; Rev. J. H. Perry; Rev, Mr. Waldo. Rev. Dr. Dowine said grace, The banquet, such as it was, having been despatched, the Alleghaniaas sung, solo and chorus, “ Give mea cup of oold water.” Rev. Dr. Dowtine, as “ toast master,” read the toasts, of whioh there were twelve, and commenced with the following :—" Our Country—Her vast domain and free institutions now invite the poor and the oppressed of all lauds; but when temperance shall uuiverrally triumph, it will add the brigttest gem to the diadem of het strength and glory.”” Genexat Sam Hovston then presented himself, and war received with loud cheers, He said, having passed in @ region where he had much experience, a life chequered by various vicissitudes, he believed he could truthfully aezert that no cosasion could de presented to his contemplation more interesting than the present.--- none ia whick he could more proudly bear » conspicuous part. The subject of intemperance, which only within » tew years past bad gaived public attention, was now the theme of every tongue,avd the cause was every day gaining new votaricr, and diminishing the sum of human misery. It was a cause that necessarily in- terested humanity in every sphere of life. Thoss who have stepped forward to aid the progress of humanity, in every age and nation, have besn re- serded wa the benefactors of mankind; and those who had instituted temperance (he believed it had be gun in this city) deserved the praise not only of theie own fellow countrymen, but of the whole human race. Yet men inevery portion of society objected to temps Tauce, | Pats he could ack chat aanetanan noni he cherished in the chief magistrate of the country, if were subject to the influewse of intemperar or wer carried away by inordinate appetites? confidens could they have im their judges, who adjadicated th rights of property and bursan rights, if they soiled, by intemperance, the eacred ermine, which ought to be the badge of moral purity? What would they think of tho general at the head of en army who induiged in the intoxicating draught? What probability was there o his success? Would ke not be hourly exposed to defeat and ruin? What would they think of the sentinel on his post, on whese vigilance and sobriety depended the safety ofa whole garrison or a camp, if, under the iaflu ence of etrong drink, or from the desire to indulge init he abandoned bis post, and left his country exposed to the sudden surprize of the enemy? If we would regard = temperance, are we not all responsible for 't entrusted to us by Iicaven, and which it is incum- bent on us te preserve pure? But not only must we preserve etpalithey the immortal gift Heaven has be- stowed upon us, but we must stand forth as members of @ great community. We must fill a space, example worth imitating. If we can make an impres- sion om society by our good example, we are morally end socially bound to give society the impression to the fullextent of cur power. Nor is this the whole of a man’s responribility. Ie incurs the responsibility of a tather to his family, and of a hu@band to the woman of his choice—oblizgations which are held sacred even emong savages. but which are sanctioned by the high autborit holy writ. Can he be regardless of their Pedant by a life of temperance, and holiness, and morality? Then it behoves a man to set am example in society. and to eet wu example to the wife to whom he bas pledged his affectiens, and to the children whom he is bound. by the ties of ure and the dictates of con- science and religion, to provide for and protect. Oan he love them, if he is uncon cious of his own existence?

He loses the respect of society. He may have the pity, but he has algo the contempt of his friends. He has not the res- pect of his family—the love or reverence of his wife and children, He scatters to the winds not only the com- torts of life, but the peculiar felicity that resultsfrom the respect of society, and the idolatry of his family. Ie wisbed them to remember. whatever might befai him— whatever changes awaited him—that he had felt the de- lightful influence of temperance operating on his head heart, and al) that constitutes the man; while he bebeid many whom he knew hurrying down the stream of intemperance, and about to be swept over the dread- fal cataract, when it was too late for any human power to wave them, It was not the drunkard alons that was in dapger. The moderate drinker is in imminent peril. Tis reason for drinking in moderation is, that he desires to be free and independent, and thinks that when he gets to the point of danger he will stop at once. But.sine when a man gets to the point of danger, he is inseneible to the danger. He knew many instances efthat hind. He then adverted to the case of a man whom he once asked to join the temperance movement, bat #ho replied that he never drauk muoh, and if ever he feud be could not control bimself, he would quit the bottle; but as long as he could control himself, he woud not quit it; yet, at that very moment, the feet avd tongae of that man sadly betrayed the fact that h- conld not control himeelf, and did not see his dan- ger Intemperapce was a vitiated habit, which made mana rlaye of Satan and of sin, and deprived him of the respect of bis fell en ‘ The Llow. gen’ Tne Alleghanians then sung “Our glorious Union for- | ever” ‘The following toast was then announced:—‘Our tem. perance Btatermen-LHiolding fast their integrity amid | the temptations of political life, we cheerfully confide joger and philosen! ily commons in all vizeler of #cha 4 of approaching events, and é t, sil whe console ‘him with amanenent ae itis alling conspiracies, ote reonetliia eairanaed isonee and, lovers, Fesvorinx tho | ‘ne our nation’s honor and happiness to their guidance and protection. of life. even chloroform could not put them to sleep—and yet afier yeurs of dissoluteness, not even brandy oould wake them up.

The Committes on Excise, of which I bave the honor of being chairman, are now preparing their report and bill, which will be presented to the Assembly on Friday. About 300,000 names have been received from different parte of the State. Our the same, and this Empire Btate shall add its empire territory, so that it snail extend from the oovan to the great lakes; and this fy the only kind of a temperan asylum which we want to see built up. In compariso with such an institution, the grea: Crystal Palace, with | all ite wonders of nature and art, is but a child’s toy. Gentlemen, there are two conditions, each necessary to | support intemperance—appetite and opportunity. Take way appetite, and men shal! walk unscathed among its fires; but take away the opportunity, and then, though they are consumed by fires, yet will this absence of op- portunity baulk the beastliness of desire, aud they will escape unharmed. It is not in the power of stacesmen or legislators to knochy depraved appetite on the head, but it is in their power to kmock a barrel of rum om the head. It is not in the power of any human being to des- troy the vicious appetite of the community, but they can destroy brandy casks and whiskey barrels. Then,I say, if we cannot destroy the appetites—if we cannot play Jupiter with these—let us play Jupiter with the oppor- | tupity,and abolish it He said, a little time ago, a coftin was carried into the State of Muine, fuil of ardent | epitite—well. had not you better put the ardent apirite | into the coffin, than put it into the father. and mother | and son, and then put them into the oofla’ They com- pa that ardent spirits are peured into the gutter— ter that it should beso, than poured into msn, and then to throw men and all into the gutter.

Bat on what class can we works with more effect than upon legislators aud statesmen ? Think for a moment what a vast power ix vested in statesmen and legislators. In them is vested the power of peace and war--lifeand death of the people. Our worldly prospects, and our worldly ruin are in their hands, aud they often send out the angel of health ani the angel of disease to bless or afilict mankind. Such men ought to betemperate men. Would you entrus: your life toa master of a ship who is intemperate-- Would you trust your life to an intempaorate enginear-- or would you go to am intemperate ooulist to have au operation performed on your eye’ If you would no‘, then why would you entrust men to legislate for all t great intererts of the land, who are themselves int pernie? I say that the legirlator, elected on tha sup sition of his talents and character, who destroys his talents and character, deceives his constituents, as they were the conditions on which they elec'ed him, And what right bas he to abolish them, and to turn himeelf into to a beast, and so make it appear that bis constituents electeda beast? Ina despotic government people are sometimes compelled to endure intemperate rulers; but ina free government like ours, we oan coa- ceive of no circumstances why an intemperate man should hold power or office, except under an tars pereta) constituency. It was, therefore, a good point which had been made bya member of Congress, who was seen in Pennsylvania Avenue, holding himself up by a pump handle in the street. A friend who eaw him ia this condi- tion, asked him what he was doing there. “Oh,” said he, ITam representing my constituents.” My friends, there sre mighty talents and power which God has sent into the world for the good of the race. He has sent great and glorious natures, which he intended a8 guides for mankind, who could evoke the hidden snd unknown things and make them plain—who could | bring order out of ohaos—but yet who embrute themselves 80 as to become like the swine in the | streets.

Mr Dowzixa then read the following letter: — Assenory Cuamner, Acnany, Feb 17,1852. I regret that public business will prevent my being cause looks well, our army is realy for the battle, and cur watchword is, “Maine law or none,” and may Ged rant us the victory. I will offer as a sentiment—‘ The Vegislature who passed the Maine law—May their exam- ple be followed by every lawmaker in the lund who ac- knowledges the supremacy of the stars and ih el Respectfully yours, E IN The third toant was next read. “The Caute of Tem- Pi the unive perance—Equally identified with man’s bess and future hopes, ard errential to prevalence of true religion; let those whe move in the elevated spheres of life be strong. show theinselves men, and be always ready to endure ;dness as good soldiers in this noble warfare.”’ The Rev. T. L, Cuvier, of Trenton, N. J., responded to the toast, He said—I shall detain the audience but a very few moments, while I offer two or three remarks upon the sentiment which has been just placed in my hend. If I understand it rightiy, it brings out those reat things for us to remember:—First, that this warfare for prohibition is not a holiday pastime, but an ear- nest, struggling warfare; in the next place, whoever would overcome must risk life and limb; and, lastly, the man who would succeed in the struggle must be # man like John Knox, who never feared the face of man, I have somewhere read, that during the energetic administration of the oes Cpatham— American Chatham, vate an Englishman—he seat down Admiral Hawke to the Bay of Biscay to capture a French squadron. Ona certain dark midnight he told hin pilot, “put me alongside of that fleet that I may take it.” The night was dark, and it blew great guns, the pilot trembled and remonstrated. Bir, said Admiral Hawke, “ you have done your duty by remonstrating, I command that you will lay me alongeide the French admiral.’ The com- obeyed. and the action was begun, and ia three hours that squadron had gone to the vortom. temperance men, only say that you demsnd to slong ride the rum sellers squadron, (cheers and laughter,) with my friend Neil Dew on the quarter deck (Cheers and laughter.)

Coming out from the magnificent hall, I passed an establishment as brilliant as this, where the chandeliers are trimmed, and where fathers, sons, and daughters are tempted to destruction. Next door to is was one ofthe popular theatres, and that was founded on rum. Men go down every night to the pit of destruc- tion; and here i to political head quarters. I know a man I met there, who was just as afraid of the Maine law ns of the small pox. (Laughter) We have. to fight politics with eur hands. (Cheers) I went a little further abroad, and ti to the shorter animals, where the concealed serpent lies at the bottom. I may add that we have yet to fight the opposition of fashion; and we must fight the so calied conservatiem—not the conservatism of the noble Hudson, which forces iteeif to rush on towards the seama true conservatism—but the conservatism of a dismal swamp, over which broods death, Ah! what an abused word that conservatiam is, I cannot but think of # scene which occurred some time ago in the Pennsylvanis Le- gislature, where a bill was introduced to rebuild an Or- phen Arylum. Said one of the members, “ Let us sus- pend the passing of it at once, for it is # bad precedent, and will be turned against us; it is to the old lion, Horace Mann responded. He said:—Mr. Presi- dent, ladies avd gentlemen—I feel highly honored in being deemed in any dey worthy to respond to the sentiment you have just heard.

It wae clearly #o if its inf ence led to drunkenness, It was said in the document referred to, by a previous speaker, that strong drink was ial to health, and the consequence of the deprivation of it would be death to many, It was not, therefore, wine caska they were attacking, but lifs iteeif; they did not fully understand the sanatory effects ofrom, or the ralubrity of brandy smashes. Liquor etores were sanatory inrtitutions, and the liquor dealers were solicitors for the heulth of their patienta—the man with his bandaged head and bleeding nose, just turned was bis long euffering patient, (Iaugbter) and whom icked just to give him a specimen of his healing art. (Loud laughter.) Ofcourse, ridiculous statements must be met by ridicule. The idea that it pertained to health or welfare was absurd. It was the cause of Ciseate, of death, of misery, and of the crime that over- shadowed the lard. It caured the direazes that racked, tore, and disfgured the human frame; and to admit such a system Wagan outrage and a wrong; and every un biased mind responded tothe truth of this view, and therefore it could only be upheld by some false argu: Tent; and it was a gross insult to the intelligence of the age to hold such o monstrosity wea legalized wrong, And if these wore true, that it was an outrage on hu- wanity, and on the intelligence of the ages, it was an Outrage on the rights of all good citizens. A great deal had besn said about private rights; bat he not believe there were such things ue covtli righte. fileiing; ictin, There could not be two rights which were con ind when we saw the rights of humanity were nything that war opposed to this feoling was nota right.” And when he heard any one talk ot his private riebt to his glass or his decanter, he bold!y said itwaenct his right, because the injury to humsnity weuld follow {rom this.

Did not drunkards jill all our jails, hospitals, and alms- hourer, and while that was so, had not the people a right to abolish the influences which made them. Asa father, not caring for bimeelf, but for his little children, did they not think that, as an American, one had the right to sbield the thorny and cbscure path of his children? It was contended that moral suasion was better than compulsion; and so it was when men would be led by moral suasion, When they felt the force of it they were better than when driven by compulston—but this would not do with the liquor dealers; they could not be persuaded while they were | gcing on with their iniquitous traffic; they were like the | hoy Who was crying because he wanted his mother to pacify him. Nothing would do for them until this law were sent amongst them, like “ twisted lightning,” to bore their barrels, and shiver their decanters.
