On Tuesday last the Fairfield County Tempe-
rance Society held their regular Meeting in this
town. The Hon. R. M. Sherman, crieofthe Vice
Presidents of the Societ , presided with his usual
readiness and dignity o manner. Delegates were
present from a number of the Auxiliary Societies
in the Co_unty, though it was much regretted that
the representation was not more full. From the
he barter fbr his cups, overy joy of Earth and
every hope of Heaven. The chief object of
this Society then is not to labor in this field so
barretfaad so hopeless.
Neither is it the object of this Society to
Pl'0m0te the temperate use ofardent spirits.-
Were this the objecttlierc would be no need
of Societies to effect it. , Temperate drinking
is the fatal rock oti which thousands have been
dashed to pieces. The vast _congregation of
drunkartls living‘ and dead were temperate
drinkers, and they never expected to be any
thihg else, and ifa friendly voice had warned
them to beware, they would lia‘.-'c spurned the
adviser and scorned the kind admonition. No
temperate drinker has any reason to expect
that he will not become a canfirmeddrunkard.
It is the same road that all have travelled and
why not lead him to the same result? I know
there is a possibility of his escape, so there
would be a possibility of escape to the man
floating down the current above the falls of
Niagara, nearing and nearing every moment
the fatal Cataract, and though a thousand
might switn to shore and escape, to where
one hundred were swept down and dashed to
pieces, who would like to risk it and who could
safely riskit? I know there is a possibility
you might reside in a city infected with the
plague or the yellow fever and escape its iii-
fection,but who would like to risk it? ltis fol-
ly,it is madness to suppose there is any safety
in ‘temperate drinking. This then is not the
object ofour pursuit and the field of our la-
bor. VVe go to the fountain head, to the
source anti origin of all the mischief, to effect.
a radical cure and there is but one way to ef-
tbct it,and that is to let ardent spit-its alone. —
Total, entire abstinence must be the article
of our faith and the strict rule of our prac-
tice. There is no other name given under
Heaven that can ensure our safety. Genius is
no protection, talent no safe guard. The
highest, the most towering intellects have
graced the conqueror’s triumph. It invades
the temple of justice, the sanctuary of the
saint, and too often profunes the ministrations
at the altar. I repeat it, it must be totally a-
handoned. It must be hurled from its throne
in the empire of fashion. It must cease to
preside as the worshipped divinity at the fes-
tive board and to consecrate the sacred rites
ofhospitality and social intercourse. It is the
Reports of the Delegates it appeared that the cause
of Temperance is evidently gaining influence in all
the towns——Tliat, in most places, there has been a
good increase of the Members of the Societies,
since the last County Meeting—That, in all cases
the Temperance Societies have increased in num-
bers and in public favour, where judicious efforts
have been made for that purpose. According to
the returns made, the average number ofmembers
in the respective Societies is about 120. The pros-
pect is that they may easily be increased.
In the afternoon, the society re-assembled, with
with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Blatcliford, the audi-
once were addressed in a very pertinent and im-
pressive manner by M._SAis:vonD, Esq. of New-
York. Nothing need be added concerning this ad-
dress, as we have been favored with a copy of ‘it
for this paper, except that it was delivered in a
manner which evinced the speaker’s deep sense
of the magnitude of the object which he so ably
advocated.
Mr. Sanford was followed by the Rev. Joshua
Leavitt, of New-York,-in an interesting address, in
-which hecontended that the primary, and almost
the only obstacle to the temperance reformation,
is the lace ofstrong~4lriuk;—and that this has been
produced _-in agreat t1e"gree,-by-bad education, in
giving fee ent potations of ardent spirits, modifi
-ed so as to render them palatable, toyouth, chil-
dren.and.infants. He observed that the proposed
Reformation could never become universal till a
generation had arisen that had-not been taught to
drink spirits in their childhood. He concluded with
a brief narrative of two [young men, friends and
companions at College, one -‘moral and sober, the
other addicted to the various errors and levities of
youth ; theifornicr, since he attained the period of
manhoodghaving fallen into habits of intemper-
ance, is now a Vagabond, the grief of parents. a
wife and children: the latter, rescued by divine
gracefrom dangerous courses, having been led to
the work of the gospel tninistijy, hopefully instru-
mental of the salvation of some immortal souls,—-
and now standing before that audience pleading
the cause of temperance and righteousness.
Mr. Leavitt was followed by the Rev. Dr. Hew-
itt, who dwelt, principally. on the sentiment that
it is time for professing christians and chtirclies to
institute and continue :1 vigorous enquiry, how far
it can be consistent with the visibly christian char-
acter to use. sell, or manufacture, ardent spirits.-
He affirmed that the churches cannot take neutral
ground on this question,-— that ifthey do not cen-
bure these things, they tacitly admit them to be-
long to the christian character. He contended,
with great energy, that inebriating liquors must be
wholly proscribed, in order to effect the Reforma-
tion for which this society was labouring-
The exercises were concluded with prayer by
the Rev. Mr. Robbins, of Stratford. and the meet-
jutg was adjourned to the 3d Tuesday in May.
MR. SANFORDS ADDRESS.
Mn. C1IAIR)IA.\': '
There are difliculties and embarrassments
in discussing this suhjt ct. that rarely attend
any other. There is but oneside to the ques-
tion, and therefore no arguments to answer,
no objections to remove, and no doubts to
solve. Ardent Spirit has no advocate to urge
its claims either upon the ground of utility or
necessity. It is classed by universal consent,
without one opposing veto, among the list of
active ‘poisons, and one would naturally stip-
pose, that like them it would need only to be
known to be avoided. There is also another
difficulty attending, there has been so much
said and so well said, every topic has been ex-
tracted, every consideration urged, drawn
om reason and revelation, patriotism and
liilanthropy, that I may well despair of add-
ing any thing new, and all I hope or expect is
to add my feeble tc:-timony to the already
overwhelming weight ofcvidence that should
long since have consigned this cruel curse to
the sentence ofetcrtial banishment.
. It may be necessary, Mr. Chairman, before
entering upon the discussion of the sub-
ject we are met to consider, to understand the
precise object of the great association to
whcili this is auxilary,to have distinctly under-
‘ stood articles of our faith and the rules of our
practice. No trian is desired to subscribe to
them, but upon a thorough knowledge of their
requirements and a clear conviction ofthejus-
tree of their claims.
And in the first place permit me to say, it
is not even one of the leading objects of
the Society to reclaim the drunkard, because
it would be a hopeless object. As a general
rule,thc drunkard’s case is desperate. Those
rnoral powers necessary to contend with such
an enetny, are destroyed; and though there

Iti s unnecessary at this late day of meridi-
an light on this subject, to attempt to potirtray
the evils resulting from the use ofardent spir-
its. They are already known. We know
that poverty, disease, domestic misery, the
the fatal consequences of its indulgence, and
we know too from the reports of Temperance
Societies the vast extent of this desolating
curse. the wide spread ruin it has wrougbt.—
The Apostles of'I‘emperance have been abroad
lunatic, the cell of the maniac, and calculated
and cast up the vast amount of human misery
produced by this great destroyer. They have
ascertained its annual cost oftreasurc and of
United States. But what of all this! it is not
The object of this Societybeing then 'under‘-
example. There ncver was aninstitution that
free from all pretended objections, and that
so completely silenced the first uliisper-s ofop-
position. It is no offspring of sectarian bigot-
ry or party zeal-. It calls not for those active
pecuniary charities so obnoxious to infidelity,
and the cold calculating avarice of the vote.-
ries of wealth. Its object alone, is the benefit
the most sirnple and eflicacious. It would
seem impossible that any man could hesitatea
moment, and there are certain classes of men
that cannot, and Will not hesitate.
The philanthropist: whose object is to ame-
liorate the condition ofman, must from his ve-
ry nature engage in it.——'-Shall tztc wrongs and
sufferings and groans ofeixslaved Africa excite
his generous compassion, &. arouse his noblest
energies to break the accursod chains and set
the captive free, &shall he be deaf to the loud-
er calls, and suffer without an effort the tnore
damning slavery,causcd by intemperance ?—
The traffic in human blood never produced such
accumulated iniseries,such wide spread havoc,
and such hopeless ruin. Ifthe consequences
ofintemperance were only confined to its own
miserable victims, there would be cause for
comparative joy. But no, they invade the
most sacred and hallowed spot on earth, do-
mestic life,this second paradise of God to man,
this nursery of our highest hopes and dearest
joys. Yes,go to the tlruiikai-d’s home and be-
hold his wife and his children in a state of an-
ticipated widowliood and orphtinage. But I
lbrbear to lift the covering from this frigtful
sepulchre of blighted affections, blasted hopes,
and broken hearts, and leave it to your ima-
grnations to supply what the most daring pen-
cil would fail to delineate. Here the philan-
thropist can & will reap a glorious hat-vest,and
thousands shall bless him for his labor of love.
In adddition to the aid of the philanthropist
we may calculate with certainty upon the de-
cided co-operation of the patriot. No man
that loves his country can be an idle spectator
when that country is invaded and its insti-
tutions and liberties endangered. I
would not breathe a whisper against the
stability and steadfastness of our Repub-
lican Institutions, unless I deemed them in
danger. I consider it a proposition susceptible
of perfect demonstration, that unless the pro-
gress of intemperaucc be arrested. our civil
and religious liberties are in danger. That :1
Republican Government cannot exist without.
virtue in the people, is a political truth estab-
lished by the experience of ages. It is indeed
an axiom iii the philosophy ofGovernmenl.--
Its very nature and organization shew it must
be so. Virtue is the bone, the muscle. the sin-
ew, the very life blood of a Government. when

or rather its political death, it requires the
strong arm of despotism with its hired legions,
to stay the wild waves of popular fury and
bush the raging tempest of tnadcued passions.
It ever has been so, and it ever will be so; the
laws of virtue will forever remain unchange-
able and the same. As virtue then is the life
and soul ofa Republic, whatever tends to de-
stroy its virtue willjeopardizc our liberties.
Andshall I stop seriously to enquire wheth-
er tlic iiitempcratc use of ardent spirits be not
the great destroyer ofvirtue? VVhether it be not
in direct and deadly hostility to the "principles
of that religion that proclaims peace on earth
and good will to men, which casts the only
ray oflight, the only gleam of hope beyond
the darkness of thcgrave? Virtue and intern-
perancc cannot live together, they cannot
breathe the same atmosphere, they cannot
flourish in the same soil; the one feeds on pu-
rity, the other pollution, the one exalts to
Heaven, the other sinks to hell. So for then
as inieinperance extends, just so wide as is
the range ofits influericc, to that extent is the
influence of virtue impaired, andto the same
extent are our liberties endangered.
And if drunkards have so increased and
multiplied that thirty thousand of, them die
annually, and ‘ if indeed $100,000,000

us forget to name the glorious achievements
ofthe illustrious dead,but let their ashes sleep

impositioiis, the two-penny tax on tea, that
imp-.-lled our fiitliers to the contest, were all
tolerable compared to those we voluntarily
submit to. Not all the hostile powers on earth
united could impose upon this country the

we submit to it frotn our own rulers. The
impotent cry of disnnion. disunion, that has
already been raised, would swell to the full
measure ofa nation's wrath,and never would
subside,unti| ithad achieved the consummation

There is one question connected with this
of morality and religion. If this question
were approached with an honest desire to
l-'.IlOW the truth, and with a mind unbiased by
supposed self interest, there could be no difli
culty in its solution. .It would be seen at a
glance to be the fountain head of the whole
IOISOIIOUS streams that desolate the earth, the
worship of Bacchus. It follows ‘as a plain and
palpable inferciicc from the conceded fact,
that the use of ardent spirits is pernicious and
destructive-. Ifit be right to sell it for the
purposes of ordinary use it is right to buy it
for the same purposes. and if right to buy, it
be right to use that which produces povertv,
disease and death But. are not the dealers in
ardent spirits responsible for all the conse-
quences that flow from their use ?—I ask you
in the spirit ofki‘nduess and of candor, wheth-
er under similar circumstances you would not
hold others responsible 3 Would he be justi-
fied by the laws of God or man who should
sell arsenic knowing it was to be used for the
purposes ofdeath ? But a very prevalent ex-
cuse,'ifI do notscllitotliers will, an excuse that
shews the moral sense at war with the traffic,
an excuse not sufficient to hush the warnings
of conscience, an excuse that might apply
with equal force and equal truth to the whole
catalogue of crimes that blacken the records
ofcrimioal jurisprudence. Others doubtless
will continue the accursed slavetrade for the"
unholy purpose of gain, but who woultfthiok
ofjustifying his mvii participation in itupon
sucha ground? But it is a great mistake to sup-
pose it is for your interest to continue the
trade. No, I thank God with all its other
odious characteristics it does not even possess
this redeeming feature. Its use you’ admit
leads to drunkenness-drunkenness to certain,
hopeless poverty. And doesit consit with your
interest to deal with a class of men whose
habits leads to an inability to pay, to pauper-
ism and ruin P But if ardent spirits were ban-
ished as an article of merchandize, would not
your profits in other things be greater and
more certain ? Is it not a truth that whatev-
er is consumed in this absorbing channel of
expenditure, is so much robbed from the ele ,
guncles, the conveniences, and more often
from the actual necessities of life ! And which
is more profitable—setting aside all other con-
siderations of a higher and liolicr character,

Thus we see we are called upon by the im-
posing and paramount claims of love to man.
to our country and our God, to engage in this
work, and to engage in it now, which is_ em-
pliatically the accepted time, and the most fa-
vorable time we can ever enjoy. . It is a work
that ltormonises with, and forms a part of that
great system of benevolence that characteri-
zes the age» It is a part of that great moral
aiachinery whose operations point to results

promise ill the heavens to the christian, a beam
of light above the horizon that points to the

the p:'esent to be the most interesting period
in the ‘history of the world. There seems to
have gone. forth a mighty spirit through the
nations of the earth, asserting the rights and
liberties ofman, outstripping in the speed and
splendor of its career all the calculations of

There seems, also to be waged a deadly
contest between the powers oflight and dark-
ness. ‘In proportion to the efforts of chris-
tian benevolence & , christian charity are the
efforts of its adversaries,and vice and irreligion,
attacked in their very citatlels of strength,and
