TEMPERANCE MEETING.
An interesting and eloquent discourse was delivered by the Rev. G. W. HUMPHREYS, at Harpers-Ferry, on the evening of the first of July, before the Temperance Society of that place and a large audience; at the close of which, about eighty persons added their names to the list of subscribers to the Harpers-Ferry Temperance Society.
The Temperance cause appears to be successfully advancing every where. The universality of its extent, pervading every state in the union, and its steady and constant success, give assurances that it is destined to effect a great revolution in the morals of society, and, of course, its welfare. Millions yet unborn will have reason for thankfulness to those who exert themselves in this beuificent and righteous cause.
Harpers-Ferry, 4th July, 1833.
