Expressions of the deep abhorrence and sympathy which are felt in regard to the awful prevalence of drunkenness are constantly emanating from legislative bodies down to various religious conventions, medical associations, grand juries, &c., &c.—But nothing has more clearly evinced the strength of this excitement than the general interest taken in this subject by the conductors of the press. From Maine to the Mississippi, and as far as printing has penetrated—even among the Cherokee Indians—but one sentiment seems to pervade the public papers—viz.: the necessity of strenuous exertion for the suppression of intemperance.

Ripley and Mallary that they addressed Jour. of the Times, Feb. 20, Mar. 6, 1829. personal letters to him in explanation and defence of it; but he declined to accept their e
