LECT17R11G
On Monday e•eo.ng the 4th instant, are de-
livered an Addrees os Temperance to is very
large and respectable meeting in the Vatted
Presbyterian Church. At the cencIeeion of the
address; the Chairman intimated our willingness
to discuss the question, were M1: John Clark,
Iter Magary'. Crown Land Agent -who a pre-
pared on all occasions to stand larward u a
living epecimeu of the blessings 0. moderate
drinking, artd as the acknowledged champion of
the .00hing system -rose up in his usual mild
i and bentguant manner, to convince the et.die°ee
that they had been listning to In it.fidel lecture
delivered by an inf.Jei drunkard. Ills remarka-
ble populaety with the poor unf,rtunste misers -
tees, who are already hanging by the claws over
the appalling precipice of drunken rain, procured
him a few rads of approbation, but the sober
population are inclined to think and judge for
themselves, -end honest John's attempt to be -
'patter oe w th infidelity, was not at all palatable
to the valuable portion of the meeting. He was
going is prove that moderate eeirit-eer.king was
a good moral christian extreme: and that roe'
tonnes was immoral, unecriptural, positively
sinal nod desperately wicked ! But after • little
half -pointed mecum and pertijogtiag quibbling,
he sunk back, admtung everything and proving
nothing. We regretted his conduct in the
Meeting for two reasons. In the fiat place, w•e
were sorry to see an 0IJ grey -headed mao sand
forward as the avowed advocate of practical
wickedeesa-the lauded champion -the encour-
ager and strengthener of ruined loafers and tip-
plers. Cheered, supported, and hounded on by
whom? by the ereasarda, who identified him
as the eersooificaaon of their cause ; while at
the same time we are persuaded there wu not
one truly •ober, intelligent man, even among the
real moderate drinkers, ,o that large meeting,
who Jul net regard him with unqualified con-
tempt, or at least with a benevolent pity, -who
did not feel an impulse in the deep recesses of his
soul, urging him to matter in pith come -esters -
eon, " Poor old infatua•ed, hardened •inner. "-
We were very in the second place, that the
righteous indignation of a large pe•hon.4' the
meeting was so aroused against the atdaueity
and daring &eregted of truth which he atm -
tested, that the audience dispersed u disgust,
before the ■rticles of the Society eoeld be pro -
poled for adoption ; and we are persuaded that •

mental lelicuy of Editors and Proprietors of

more prevalent awl mere vexatious than the
cver.uting complaints of subscribers not receiv-
ing titch papers regularly. Now, in order to
shew how little blame can reasonably he at-
tached to the proprietor in this respect, we shall
state the manner in which ail newspapers are
forwarded frons their rrepective offncee, and we
will do so by giving an example by way of
illustration. We have a few subscribers in the
townships of McGillivray and B.ddulph. The -

package containing a paper for each of thee.'
subscribers, with his name written upon if, is
addressed to the McGillivray post office, and put
into the Gerlerich poor office in time for the
Loadoa mail which leaves on Saturday morn-
ing.. Thee, it is evident, that if tbe package
reaches the McGillirry port office, it should
contain a paper for each eubscnber ; and if tie
package dues not reach McGillivray, it either has
not beeu put into the ma y1 -bag or has been taken
out by the Tscker.ma$ or Hay Poamostere,
which would certainly be • very absurd supposi-
hos. ' And we must expreae our astonishment
end unqualified d,eguet at the information welch
we received last Thursday evening, in a pub! 1c

we were told feat for six week- in the months of
