Hi andiiiethren of the Grand

To 1 Division o£._tDI Sops of Temperance, of P. sland. ,1, I . Wm-tliy Biﬁtlters, pleasure ‘on this occa-

I meet yofliith much sion-the second quarter of the eighth year of this Grand Division, an reciprocate with heart-felt gratitude. the respectful regard ms- nifested towards tne in my elevation to this

his ition ; but I feelingly realise the responsibilities of my appointment, and regret my inoompetency to discharge with efiicieiicy the very im }ti)I‘l.illlI functions of my 0

'l‘|ie most distin uished in our fraternity. for tact, talent, and literary nttainuients should be

referred to the executive dcpartment—and being conscious of my own deﬁciency in these indispensable prereqnisites—I reinonstratc with the friends who olli.-'red me their patronage : and after repeated refusals to sanction my noniination. at last I consented—in hopes that the ballot would result in the election of one 0 the more competent candid-.i_.tcs

llowever, eandour urges me to ‘admit that. in view of the multifarious and einbarrssing duties devolving on ine—ihe generous assurance ofiidvice and asistiince given by my predecessors, in this ollice-and the discretion which t e i- vision exoinplilied in their siihsidiar it

iintincnts, ulforded me considerable coin ort-

ii a word, the liariuony that cliaraetcrized the proceedings nfour Annual Session, in October. encouraged uie to rely on the sympathies and co-operation of my brethren, to support and sustain me in every perplexing emergency.

It has fallen to my lot to preside iii your Councils, at a period when it general impression

rcvails, in all lands, and in all circles, that intcinpenince has increased to such alarming proportions, and is lll.ICll'l0(I with such disas- trous results, as to require vigorous special eliirts for its llllllldtllilit‘, complete so pressimi -—llut it is with no ordinary satisfaction, rcl'~‘i'cii:-.-. is iii'i<le lo the iiieri-using power and l.9,.u1.u~it_v of the 'l‘i-mp.-i-iince Moveiiient. At the timi‘.I1lit‘l1\lIilC(l.'tlUl‘ wasiniigiiratcd in this Island—tlicre were not perliips ten men in the country. who would lnivo listened with patience to tlsc suggestioii of "a Maine Law"—'l'liou- sands have since tcsiilieil their conviction, not only of the possibility, but of the necessity of such it law: iuiil this class of the community is d.i.i|_v on the increase. Now, the suppressi- on of the liquor trallie is commanding and re- ceiving tho respectful attention of Legislators and Gospcl .'llini.~itcrs ’l‘lie causes \vhieh have produced this promising state of things. are doubtless varied; but it is to be attributed chiefly to the energy. self-denial and devotion of the Sins of Teiiiperiinee to their principles. No doubt many of our Order have been dis- couraged and have believed that the reward sought was inferior to the labor of acquiring it. 'l‘nis is natural. and was to be expected- but the encigetic and courageous will continue the more, remembering that the greater the labor, the greater the reward

The time has now arrived, when we must renew the contest in the Legislature. I trust, that greater industry and activity will be cin-

loyed than has ever yet been shown in circu- nting our petitions. I do not doubt, but that the numbers of petitioners ma this year be doubled—:ind I sincerely hope, t at no cars and no labor will be spared in a work so necessary to secure success.

I refer with much pleasure to the public meetings which have been held in several sec- tions oi’ the Island, under the auspices of the Ordcr—at which our principles have been con- stantly advocated, an dcvelo od—and additi- ons made to the membership 0 the divisions in the districts,

At the sug stion of our Agent, n Requisition was pro ;!\re , and duly presented to ine.aslsing a specie cnaation to hold a meeting of the Grand Division in New Perth. Finding that

the privilege would accommodate the Represen- tstivss Elect in the remote locslities—l oom- plisd with the proposal. The Rosierucisn Di- vision mads srra meets or a public celebra- tion and festival. in eomplnnent to their visit- ing brethren, notwithshndxn the out storm which almost impeded trnvelfinfg, t accommodation provided was ully occupied. Refreshments were bountifully dis enscd. and the alternations of speeches am addresses enlivened the oecasion—I was highly gratiﬁed with the attractions of tho mceting—l upprcc ate the kindness and hospitality with which we were entertained by the members of the Divisi- on, and the other respectable inhabitants of this floiirishing ssttlemcnt. In pursuance of the Rt.-soliirion passed before the close of tho ' in New ,I’1rtb. I proceeded to Georgounrn, here-I III-1 an agreeable inter- course with the members of the Diamond of

members of soeiet , in the several districts of the Countries, go iciting their on-operation in circulating our Petitions, and in promoting

other measures in connection with our enter- P

rise. , . . I would call special attention to the impor-

liall, in hopes of exciting your eiiorts to make them popular and proﬁtable, by providing available attractions and able advocates of our principles.

I am persuaded that Mr. Arbucklo, P. G. W. P. has strong claims on our sympathy and sup- port. from iis patience and perseverance in propagating our doctrines. He has contrived

f several schemes, to divert the people in the

country from the public houses, and to create a taste for innocent and useful amusements in connection with mental and moral improv- ement. and social progress. I respectfully suggest. that the City Divisions would immediately iittcn the circulation . of our Petitions in the municipality and su- burbs—and further recommend excursions to the neighboring and surrounding settlements. By judicious arrangements for public lectures in those localities, the apathy of many woul be aroused, and our ranks would he strength- on

ed.

I regret, that our revenue is not sufiieient to defray the cxpcnsei incident to an active, aggressive movement, considering the advan- tages that result from our enterprise. an appeal to the public for aid to raise the necessary funds appears to me both reasonable and expedient. In fact. the suggestion has been iii-.iilc to me. by several in course of conversati- on on our regress and prospects, tl.at applica- tion slioultr be iiiarle to the Legislature to that ('IIl’(‘I, as friends and fees admit, that our orga- iiization has become the first and greatest of nl

our benevolent institutions. I be to refer you to the Report of the G. Treasurer for the par- ticulars of the Fiiinneiul nllliirs.

The G. Scribe will furnish statistical and other inforiiiation, among which will be it com- iiiunication on the subject of a Provincial Nati- onal Division. lain aware. that he is subject to much inconvenience as well as detention in preparing a systematic Digest of the details connected with his department, from irregular or imperfect Rctiirns—-The zeal and integrity with which he has watched over the interests of the Order. amidst the pressure of his duties as in public otiieer, deserve my special approba- tion.—0liicers and Brethrcn—a great work lies before us, demanding iccrcasing vigor in our etfirts. much has been one in reclaiming the intempcrate, and in creating a healthy public sentiment in reference to the drinking usages ofsociety, still, accomplishments vastcr and wider remain to be iniide-—But let us not be discouraged. The issue ofour contest is beyond oubt or dispnte—I4et us imitate and emulate our Brethren in the sister Pr: vinccs in devoting self-denying labor, amidst difliculties and dis- coursgements, until our great end is satisfacto- rily nttnined. A brighter and better do will soon dawn—God is on our side—I!e has b essed us in the past, and He will bless us still.

All of which is respectfully sumittsd in the bonds of the Order. J. W. Moiiiiisox, G. W. P.

Assuming that Mr. Coles did make the assertion, the remarks of the E.rmm'ner are quite beside the question. ’I‘lio practice of Joseph Ilowo in the Nova Scotia [louse of As- seinhly, we in not admit to be of snliicicut authority; besides l\lr. liowc, it would appear. discovered his mistake in time. and yielded to the which of the opposition. Joe Ilowe. though as arbitrary and t'raiinii-al as George Colos, has a great deal OIp8lIl'(:\\'tlllC8l and knowledge. and being well aware that he would furnish bis adversaries with a powerful weapon of his own forging, if he persisted. wisely withdrew it in ime, or otherwise Mr. Johnston would have liewn him. that there were means to compel im to do that which was right and constitu- tional; wo trust that the same will he done ierc. A public despatch is public property, and the people have a right by their represen- tatives to demand the whole of it. The ilespateh in question though addrescd to the Governor is virtually intended for the Pl't)\'IIl('l:ll Parlia- ment. it is an answer of tho Sovert-i;:n to the

iiestion implied in the sus iending clause. whether she will or will not give her assent to the llill. To which she replies. Illu wil not.
