Mr. President, the temperate members of Congress are exposed, as I have said, to no shame or annoyance from the act to which we invite tlicin. It is to rescue others, that we summon them. To rescue ay, sir, and to place themselves beyond the reach of a danger from which none are exempt. There are men of a stamp which secures them absolutely from every thing which can degrade, save only this one vice. There is no danger that a man of lofty mind, a highspirited, well-educated gentleman, will stoop to other vices which sink and degrade humanity. He will not lie; he cannot steal; he is incapable of dishonor; death itself cannot drive him to the perpetration ofbaseness. Poverty, want, starvation may assail him, he is proof against them all. This alone can drag his virtue down; and against it what genius can guard, what magnanimity shield us? Who has not seen the most towering, the most majestic, sink vanquished beneath its powers? Who has not seen genius prostrnte, courage disarmed, manhood withered, before the march of this fell destrcyer or all that is great, and bright and beautiful? It seems, indeed, as if with the cunning malice of tyranny, and the ambitious policy of a conqueror, this grim king selects the loftiest victims, and from those who otherwise are formed to be the ornament and strength of their hind and-racc.

I say, sir, and the refined. It is to the story of the these things have an interest, a mighty in- 3 terest for me;' and 1 deem them not entirely beneath the regard of the proudest statesmen here. On my conscience, sir, I speak the truth when I say that, member of Congress as 1 am (and no man h prouder of his commission), if, by taking this pledge, it were even probable that it would bring back one human being to happiness and virtue, no matter what Lis rank or* condition; recall the smile of hope, and trust, and love, to the chuck of one wife, as she again pillowed it in safety, peace and confidence upon the ransomed bosom of her reclaimed and natural protector; send one rosy child bounding to the arms of a parent, from whence drunkenness had exiled it long, I would dure all the ridicule of all the ridiculous people in the world, and thank God that I had not lived in vain. And, sir, I have had that pleasure. Mr. President, it is really astonishing what a prodigiously great man a member of Congress is in the estimation of some people. Now, suppose all those members who ore themselves temperate men, and they constitute, thank heaven, nn overwhelming majority in both Houses, would, by common consent, become members of this Congressional Temperance Society, what sort of influence do you suppose it would have both within and without these walls? They would make no sacrifice in doing this, it costs them nothing, and if they would only do it, I aver that, before the close of this present session, we should not have a single drinking character left in either branch of the National Legislature. They never could stand out against it, 1 know they could not. I was myself about as bold, and as open, and as hardy a soul as ever swallowed a julep. 1 did not care who saw me drink; and though, as I have already admitted, I joined the temperance society because I <fas scared on my account, and not for the sake of influencing others, or under the influence of others, yet sure I am, that if all my fellow-members who are temperate, had joined this association, (for they constitute a majority for greater than is necessary to suspend the rules of the House or to reverse a Presidential veto), I should have found myself left in so very small and lean a minority, as the drunkard's corps would have amounted to when the line was once drawn between the parties; that I never could have stood the shame. Why, it would be the weakest, meanest, poorest, most contemptible, powerless little faction that ever did appear in Congress. What a figure would half a dozen drunkards cut against the whole body of both Houses! Why, there would not be enough to guard the obsequies, to from a decent funeral procession for king alcohol, they would be ashamed to attend the remains of their dead master from the Capitol. No, sir; they would have to stop drinking in more self-defence. Sir, if there be within this hall an individual man who thinks that his vast dignity and importance would be lowered, the laurels which he has heretofore won be tainstbed, �4 TfcMPfcUANCE hii glowing and all-conquering popularity at home be lessened, by ah act designed to redeem any protion of his colleagues of fellowmen from ruin and shame, all I can say is, that he and I put a very different estimate upon the matter. I should say, sir, that the act was not only the most benevolent, but, in the present state of opinion, the most politic, the most popular (looking down at .Mr. Wise, who sat just under the clerk's stand, Mr. M. added with a smile,) the very wisest thing he ever did in his life. Think not, sir, (said Mr. M., still regarding Mr. W., with great earnestness,) that I feel myself in a ridiculous situation, and, like the fox in the fable, wish to divide it with others by converting deformity into fashion. Not so, by my honor as a gentleman, not so. I was not what I was represented to be. I had and I have shown that I had full power over myself. But the pledge I have taken renders me secure forever from a fate inevitably following habits like mine, a fate more terrible than death. That pledge, though confined to myself alone, and with reference to its only effect upon me, my mind, my heart, my body, I would not exchange for all earth holds of brightest and of best. No, no sir; let the banner of this temperance cause go forward or go backward, let the world be rescued from its degrading and ruinous bondage to alcohol, or not, I for one shall never repent what I have done. I have often said this and I feel it every moment of my existence, waking or sleeping. Sir, I would not exchange the physical sensations, the mere, sense ofanimal being which belongs to a man who totally refrains from all that can intoxicate his brain or derange his nervous structure, the elasticity with which he bounds from his couch in the morning, the sweet repose it yields him at night, the feeling with which he drinks in through his clear eyes the beauty and grandeur of surrounding nature; I say, sir, I would not exchange my conscious being, as a strictly temperate man, the sense of renovated youth, the glad play with which my pulses beat healthful music, the bounding vivacity with which the lile blood courses its exulting way through every fibre of my frame, the communion high which my healthful ear a,nd eye now hold with all the gorgeous universe ofGod, the splendors ofthe morning, the softness of the evening sky, the bloom, the beauty, the verdure of the earth, the music of the air and the waters, with all the grand associations of external nature, reopened to the fine avenue of sense; no, sir, though scorn pointed its slow finger at mc ns I passed, though want and destitution, and every element of earthly misery, save only crime, met my waking eye from day to day; not for the brightest and the noblest wreath 'that ever encircled a statesman's brow, not, if sime angel commissioned by heaven, or or some demon rather, sent fresh from hell, to test the resisting strength of virtuous resolution should tempt me back, with all the wealth and all the honors which a world can (Jan. ADYOCATfc. bestow; not for all that earth can give, would I cast from me this precious pledge of a liberated mind, this talisman against temptation, and plunge again into the dungers and the terrors which once beset my path: So help me heaven; sir, I would spurn beneath my very feet all the gifts the universe could oiler, uud live and die as I am, poor but sober. The following sketch, taken from an American paper, describes a scene which occurred in the city of Baltimore. You cannot think, said Mr. Vickers, how soon a man's circumstances become changed when once he has signed the pledge. I will tell you of a man whom I knew in Baltimore. He was not worth a cent a day, and his, family was supported by his hard working wife. He had heard of the Washington Society, and had determined to join—But how should he get a quoitcr of a dollar, which was required for initiation fee. He went to his wife and told her he wanted a quarter of a dollar. "What for?" "No matter," said he, "I want it, and must have it;" She gave it to him, knowing it would bcofnouseto withhold it, and supposing he meant to buy rum with it. He went to the Washington Society on Monday night and joined—The next day he went to work at his trade, which was a good one, and he could make money fust. He came home sober every night, and <;n Saturday received liis wages, and bought a barrel of flour, a ham, some groceries, and so on, got them on a drny and sent them home. The drayman dro-vc up to the door, and told the wife that the barrel of flour and the groceries were for her. She told the drayman there was some mistake about it—it did not belong there, for she had never had a barrel since they had been married—always had to buy their flour by the sixpence worth, or shillings worth, and the flour certainly could not be for her. While they were talking the husband came up, and said she, -'husband, here is a mHn who says these groceries are for us." "So they arc, and 1 have bought all with the twenty-five cents you gave me last Monday night. 1 joined the Washington Temperance Society with* that twenty-five cents. We shall have flour by the barrel after this, instead of the sixpence worth, or the eleven penny bit's worth." POETRY. Temperance! tell the listening world What thine advocates hive done; Hearken, now the tyrant's hurled From his high, despotic throne. Temperance—shall it bear the sway, Shinoo'er earth in splendour bright? Listen! for a brilliant day Drives away the gloomy night. Temperance! will thy beams alone Gild the spot that gave thee birth? Other climes thy sway shall ewn: See, it bursts o'er all the earth. Temperance! are thy sons to fight, Like hosts of earth, to fix thy laws? O no; for love and truth unite, To achieve thy holy cause. Temperance! then I*4l be thy child, For I love thy sacred name: Yes, thy voice and influence mild Can the wildest passion tame.

Vol. I. HONOLULU, OAHU, SANDWICH ISLANDS, FEBRUARY, 1843. To the Reader, Nearly all the columns of the Advocate for January, were occupied by the Address "of the Hon. T. 11. Marshall. In urging the propriety of signing the pledge and endeavoring to show that no Hon. Member of Congress would lower his "vast dignity," 'tarnish his laurels," or "lessen his popularity," by the act, he looked down at Mr. Wise, who sat just under the clerk's stand, and remarked, smiling, "I should say, sir, that the act was not only the most benevolent, but in the present state of public opinion, the most politic, the most popular, the very wisest thing he ever did in his life." After Mr. Marshall had taken his seat, the Hon. Mr. Gilmer, (then occupying the chair,) said he had a friend and colleague in his eye, from whom it would greatly gratify the Society to hear, if he was disposed to address them. The Hon. Mr. Wise, of Virginia, rose and addressed the assembly in the following speech. Mr, President: I wish it to bo under- stood by the assembly here present, that 1 am not, as yet, a member of the Total Abstinence Temperance Society; and lean appeal to you, sir, for my sincerity, when I express my surprise at having been alluded to, as 1 have been, by the eloquent gentleman from Kentucky, and at being called upon to say a word on the present occasion. It would be impossible, however, not to respond to the allusion made by the gentleman who BSS preceded me. lie will pardon me for saying that, in his own case, we are presented with one of the most glorious examples of the triumph of the temperance cause. He is himself a proof of the position he has taken, that the possession of genius, of the utmost perfection of physical power—thut none of the ties which ordinarily bind men to society—arc any safeguard against the seductive power of this tremendous vice; and that, when it has once seized upon a man, the victim himself is usually the very last to be aware of it. He will pardon me ifI say that, when I first became acquainted with him, while I was struck with the greatness of his powers, both moral and intellectual, I mourned under tiie conviction that their possessor was in the greatest danger, and I took the liberty to warn him of it. And when I beheld him, impelled by motives which heaven and earth must approve, coming forward to attach his name to the temperance pledge, I was as highly gratified as I had 5 No. II been before distressed.

As they were mostly strangers to him, and he was naturally of a modest and unassuming disposition, he took a seat near the foot of the table, and refrained from taking an active part in the conversation. Just before the dinner was concluded, General Washington called him by name, and requested him to drink a glass of wine with him. "You will have the goodness to excuse me, General," was the reply, "as I have made it a rule not to take wine." All eyes were instantly turned upon the young officer, and a murmur of surprise and horror ran around the room. That a person should be so unsocial and so mean as never to drink wine, was really too bad; but that he should abstain from it on an occasion like that, and even when offered to him by Washington himself, it was perfectly intol- * ADVOCATE & FRIEND. _ . �With the full consent of the French Government, the come/ stone of the Chapel was laid in March, 1842.

"Bethel."—The question is often asked, why apply the term Bethel, to a Mariner's Chapel? A reference to Genesis 28: 17, 19, will show that its original signification is "House of God." The following extract from the Sailor's Magazine, will furnish an answer to the above question. "It was some time in 1814 when it was discovered that a few pious sailors, on board the coal ships' at Rotherhithe, were in the practice of-meeting together for prayer. A few religious men, from the shore, began to attend occasionally with them, and meetings of this description became somewhat common. They began to call them "Bethel meetings." The idea of converting a vessel, (a place which had been proverbially wicked,) into the very gate of heaven to souls, led probably to the custom of calling it a "Bethel." The use of a flag, with the word "Bethel" on it, as a signal for divine service on ship-board, was first introduced by the ship-masters in the coasting trade, from the north of England, about the year 1817."—Vol. 9, p. 73.

Societies advocating the principle of total abstinence from all intoxicating as a beveuark are now actively exerting their healthful influence, in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, New Holland, and the Islands of the sea. It is a most cheering fact that similar associations have been formed among sea-faring men, who arc the connecting links of the chain, which binds the nations of the earth in one brotherhood. The friends of Temperance will read with interest the following declaration and pledge of the officers and crew of the Whaleship Samuel Robertson. Their motto is original, unique, and appropriate.

It is a rule of the society, when they speak a vessel at sea, to go on board, leave a copy of their pledge and solicit brother seamen to become pledged to the cause. In numerous instances their effbtts have been successful. "Haul away, cheerily my Boys, you have hold of the right end of the rope." A similar association exists, on board the whaleships Gideon Howland and C. Phelps. On board the former, 29 in a crew of 89 are pledged to total abstinence, and on board the latter 27 in a crew of 30. Hut what is most cheering of all the news which those vessels report, each ship has been blessed with a revival of religion since leaving the United States.

Among the many gratifying evidences which we have lately met with of the progress of the temperance cause, is the interest which is manifested in behalf of temperance, by the hardy tars, on board our national vessels and our merchant ships. This is one of the glorious results of the VVashingtonian movement. —Let the masters of our merchant ships, and the officers of our national vessels, co-opernte with the friends and advocates on the land, in promoting this great work, and in a short time the stigma of intemperance would be removed from the character of our seamen, and they would take that elevated station in society to which they would be entitled by their integrity, courage and sobriety. The ship Hercules, Capt. Gregerson, arrived at this port a short time since, and on the Sunday preceding her arrival, he summoned all hands to the quarter-deck, and addressed them on the subject of intemperance, referring to some unpleasant incidents during the voyage, growing out of an indulgence in intoxicating drinks, and urging them to conquer a habit, at once and forever, which tended directly to make them miserable, and degrade them in the scale of being.

While a novelty it was better attended than afterwards. The chiefand second mate soon fell away, and were followed by others till about ten or twelve were all that assembled out of a complement of thirty men, (or Sjti men for 4 were from various islands ) The latter end of August we put into Port Stephens to refresh the ship. Here I introduced myself to the clergyman (of the Established Church) resident at that place, and after some conversation with him was admitted to the Communion table of that Church. This gentleman gave me some books and tracts when we left the harbour, and circumstances brought me about 18 months afterwards to reside at the same place and sit under his ministry for a period of three years. Such is the story of my conversion and though I feel and know that I am yet a long, long way from what I ought to be, that pride and vanity are still fearfully besetting sins; I yet hope too that the good work has been begun by Him who will not fail to carry it on to perfection. My chief fear is, that Ido not feel that warmth oflove to God and Christ which others have described This cannot be constitutional, for my affections are not cold towards my earthly friends. Yet if I seriously ask myself the question, "for what would I give up God:" my heart instantly spurns it and is well content to have no hope or portion save God only, but in circumstances of trial faith is sorely beset by impatience. But 1 hope on, and strive to cleave to God, taking courage and comfort from the record of his merciful dealings to others as revealed in his word and particularly from that example of the Jewish father whose faith w»9 so weak as to compel him to say to our Lord "help thou mine unbelief" so I trust my feeble faith, as then, shall find acceptance, and my culd love be quickened to a warmer glow. Pray for me, my dear sir, I beseech you, and though on earth we shall probably meet no more, may God grant in his mercy that we may meet in heaven.

An Address delivered before the Maui Foreign Resident's and Seamen's TemLa'naina, Maui, perance Society. April 11, 1843. "To (Jo.l In; thanks who pours us o.it Cold water from tho hills. In p-p-y-lal spun:*! md bubbling brooks, In I ikes and sparKling nils!" In addressing, this evening, the members of the Maui Temperance Society, ami the friends who have accepted our invitation to aaacmble with us, I propose to give a brief exposition of the reasons which have influenced us to sign the pledge of total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors; reasons which, as I hope to show, should influence all to unite with us in this, or similar associations; reasons, moreover, which we shall feel at liberty to urge in discountenancing their use throughout our community, or whererot in the providence ofGod we shall be called to labor. I remark, then, I. Oar own tafely tat have consulted, in pledging oaraelves to total abstinence from intoxicating liquors. Self preservation is a law of our nature. "Do thyself no harm," is the voice ofinstinct n> less than an injunction in the statue hook of heaven. Its influence is daily seen in the shrewdness and activity ofthe brute creation tii avoid every thing calculated to produce pain and uneasiness. Nothing hut long abstinence, and consequent extreme hunger will induce the horse or the ox to eat or drink to satiety. They are, so to speak a law to themselves. How much more emphatically true was this of man, the Lord of this lower creation when he came from the hand of his Creator. Reason enthioned in his bosom, reigned without a rival. Hence, though the earth furnished abundantly the means of sustenance and luxury, man, it is confidently believed, was never tempted to approach even the limits of strict temperance. How changed alas! his character and circumstances. Now, renson too often abdicates her throne to a most unworthy rival. Passion seizes the helm, spreads all her canvass, and deaf to remonstrance and entreaty, presses en, regardless of rocks or shoals. Hence •he frequent shipwrecks of hopes and happiness. Around the ever yawning gulf of In- 19 the creatures ofGod. A highly finished and beautiful piece of machinery may be utterly deranged and worthless; shall we put no higher value upon it than upon the work of the veriest bungler? The well built and elegantly fitted up ship may be brought into port a mere wreck, dismasted and battered; without rudder, anchor, compass or sail; and though in pleading for her repair no one would think of urging her present state, yet her former one, as she came from tho hand of the builder, might properly be urged. So of man. He is, at present in ruins—tho wreck of what he was. Still it is the wreck ofmoral and intellectual greatness. Hence we are furnished with a powerful appeal to those who, by forming intemperate habits, are debasing the image of God, to abandon their guilty course. Even to the self-debased, filthy, ragged, creature, who is drawn from the ditch, it would not be unsuitable to urge, as a reason for abandoning, without delay, his degrading course, n consideration of the dignity of his nature. We might properly say to him, on recovering from the effects of his guilty debauch, ''Think, I pray you, my friend, of the contempt which you are casting upon the image of God enstamped upon your soul. Your beneficent Creator designed you for the noblest purpose. You bear the impress of His hand. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Yes, mortifying as is the fact, we cannnot refuse to sec, that in spite of the decisions of their understanding, the reprehensions of conscience, and the motives of the most powerful character which are brought to bear upon their minds, multitudes do tamely yield to the passion lor strong drink, and become cast aways. And who are they who thus yield to the demands of a depraved appetite? Who? men of every character and profession. The wise and honored no less than the ignorant and obscure; the reputedly pious no less certainly, though less frequently, than the profane; men whoso vocation demands the coolest heads, and the soundest judgments; the man gifted in the healing art; he whose calling it is to unravel the most intricate questions of law, or to sit in judgment on his fellow-men, and he who stands up as God's ambassador, no less than the day laborer, all all have been cast down by this insatiate toe of human happiness— this tell destroyer ofwealth, and reputation; of health and comfort; of body ami soul. Nor will wo conceal the fact, that some of us have, like Samson, been shorn of our locks, by the hand of this worse than �20 3. TE3I P E „A N C We are affected moreover, with a sense and we of our responsibility, to ourselves to abstain pledge dare not refuse wholly from all that can intoxicate. Were man an isolated being, less danger Would result from the fact that he had yielded his reason to his passion. Tossed on the stormy sea of life, without chart or compass, his frail bark would soon be driven on the rocks which lie concealed around him, and would soon go down, but he would go down alone, and be soon forgotten. Hut man is not thus constituted. "None ofus," we are assured by the highest authority, "livetb to himself." All aro responsible to their Creator. The dignity which His own hands have conferred upon His creatures, the capabilities to be and to do good, arc gifts of immense value, for which they must account. Men are responsible also to each other. Dolusive is the talk of having n right to do as we please regardless of the right ofothers. Even human luws recognize no such right. The man who refuses to restrain his vicious animal is held responsible for the consequences ofhis running nt large. A man may not wantonly beat his own horse in public without censure. He may not go abroad when some contngious disease has fastened upon him. And may he, in tho indulgence of an artificial and depraved appetite, put himself into n state in which he shall be well nigh as incapacitated for selfcontrol as a mud dog? And claim this as his right? Nothing is more absurd than the denial ofresponsibility. Every man is responsible for uil his movements. So intimately nro men connected that, solemn thought! their every action may, and probably will affect some one either for good or for evil. As parents or children, as masters or seamen, as neighbors and friends, we are continually exerting an influence upon each other. So also as residents at these islands, or occasional visitors, wo are brought into contact with an ignorant peoplo who will be more or less influenced by our example. Our responsibilities arc momentous. To discharge great, the duties demanded by this high responsibility, a cool head, and an affectionate heart are indispcnsible. Hut who docs not know that to the possession of these total abstinence is a sine qua nnn. Wine bibbing, and beer and eider guzzling, no less certainly than New England rum drinking, unfit any man to discharge, fully and cheerfully, tho obligations which he owes to God, to his own family, and to his fellow men. We therefore piedgo eternal enmity to every thing that can intoxicate. We glory in the net. We can no more feel ashamed of having thus pledged ourselves than we could for refusing to carry abroad a contagious disease to spread dismay and death among our neighbors, or than we could for refusing to turn loose a wild beast to destroy our fellow men. 4. Finally, we have pledged ourselves, and do pledge ourselves to abstain from all intoxicating liquors, that we may be able to exercise Ike power of rebuke. „ A„\OCAT„.

At a late meeting, in Birmingham, of a total abstinence society, the followinc statement was made by a working coach painter, who was called on in his turn to speak on the subject of temperance. "He had made a few calculations, which lie wished to communicate, with the view of shewing the pecuniary benefit he had derived during the four years he had been a tetotal member. Previous to that time he had been in the practice of spending, on an average, in intoxicating drink, fivepence per day, or £7 12s. Id. per annum, and which in four years would amount to £30 8s- 4d. He would now show how this sum had been expended during the four years ho had abstained from all intoxicating drinks. First it had enabled him to allow an aged father £3 ss. per annum towards rent, or in four years, £13. Secondly, lie had entered a benefit society, and paid one shilling and sevenpence per week, or £4 2s. 4d. per annum, or £16 9s. 4d, for the four years. For this payment he secured the following advantages: in case of his being disabled from doing his accustomed work by illness or accident, the society will pay him eighteen shillings per week, until restored to health: in case of death, his widow or rightful heir is entitled to a bonus of £9, besides half the amount paid into the society by the deceased up to the time of his death, with the interest due thereon. Thirdly, it left him four shillings nnd ninepeiice per annum, or nineteen shillings for the four years, to be expended in temperance periodicals. Ir might further be added, that when the sum of £54 had been paid into the society's funds, no Inrther payment would be required, and the contributor would be entitled fo all the benefits before enumerated; medicine nnd medical attendance were included in the arrangement.

Nearly the entire distance from the spot where the raft was built, to the island, they were obliged on account of currents, to warp—by repeated swimming with a line, and making it fast to the bottom, then hauling up. Having reached the island, they were actively engaged in making necessary preparations for a residence, until some friendly vessel should take them off. They found some remains ofthe wrecked Gledstanes, which served for firewood and building materials. One solitary dog, was the only living representative of civilized life, which had been left by the crew of the Gledstanes. He had lost his domestic habits, and after some weeks was caught. Being in good condition, his flesh afforded some variety to a constant diet upon sea-fowl and seals. It was estimated that they killed rising of 7,000 sea-fowls, and about 60 seals.
