We have always been in favor of u.y movement that has had a tend, u i-y to promote the growth of Temper- ance principles. While admitting, of onrse, the undoubted fact, that hotel- keepers are engaged in a business that has been legalized by act of parliament, \ve never conlil conscientiously say a word in its favor verbally or other- viso. The traffic bean on its face the imprint of rnin and desolation. There- fore we arc opposed to it whether the place in which it is carried on be a first-class hotel or a low groggorv. i &apos;>oth a&apos;-c bad for the public morals- he principle difference being, that while the former is the resort of the ! otter classes, the hitter is frequented v the scnm of society; and it has been &apos;ften remarked, that many of tho pat- rons of the low groggeries have at some l>y KOiie day pipped their claret and champagne in the gilded saloons of palace" hotels. The descent from marble halls and good society, to low lens of infamy and the vilest of vile society " and often to a horrible loath aro almost common events in lie history of rvery nation. To meet this growing and gigantic evil, Temperance societies were organ- ized. The first of which we have any record, was started in Preston, Eng- &apos; uid, on the 23rd of August, 1832, by Messrs. John King and Joseph Lives- JT. The pledge a fac-simile of which, together with the signatures of lie charter members, can be seen at &apos; his office nad as follows : " We agree to abttain from all Li- Hiors of an intnxic iting quality, ivli.&apos;t ncr Ale, Porter, Wine, or Ardent >>l>irits, except as medicine." The rapid growth of Temperance m-inciples from this time ( 1832 i to lie present, has bren almost plienom- nal. And although it has been met mi every hand by the most determined opposition opposition that would imve most effectually " squelched " out of existence less important move- luents it to-day wields a powerful influence in all classes cf society. Pol- iciaus of very etripe no matter how nucli they may be opposed to it per- sonally are compelled to pay some > ttention to the demands of its ad- herents. Indeed, we venture to aver, tliat, as regards East Grey, the future vould be M. P. P., orM. P., will stand ... good chunce of being left out in the old, if he be not a sound teetotaller. I f Temperance legislation is to be sc- ured, it necessarily follows that there mint be loss beer and whiskey guzz- ling parliamentarians than there are it tlio present time. Temperance societies have been i >in,&apos; a good work in the past, and -till doing a good work ; but the imo has como when tbey must make their influence felt outside the lodge mom and social circle. Their sphere of, usefulness for good/should not be ontined to such narrow limits; they uust work outtidc as well as t&apos;viufc the lodge room, if the grand principles of the frat Tuity arc to be far-reaching and all-powerful in there results for good to degraded humanity. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. Instances of cruelty to animals have recently come under onr notice. Per- sons have been seen driving horses through the village whose shoulders were a mass of raw flesh, the skin having been worn off by the friction of the harness. This is one of the worst species of cruelty imaginable ; and that any one, calling himself a man, should be guilty of abusing a poor dumb animal in the manner stat- ed, is a shame and disgrace to the boasted civilization of the nineteenth century. And if these persons will not take warning and have mercy on their animals, they should be made to feel the heavy arm of the law, which is very severe in cases of this kind. " INDEPENDENCE." Sir Richard Cartwright&apos;s speech in the Grand Opera House, Toronto, a short tune ago, has given rise to con- siderable discussion in the press yea, and even in the pulpit, for the Itcv. Dr. Wild delivered a sermon in the Bond street church a week ago last Sabbath, on the subject. It is aluust needless to say the Rev. Dr. docs net agree with the doughty knight, altho&apos; he pays the latter a much higher com- pliment than wo think he deserves. There may be quite a number of Canadians who are " thirsting fur glory," iu the chapo of Independence or Annexation with Uncle Sam, cr something else, but they are sadly in tin minority. The language of two thirds of the people of this Dominion might be summed np in the words of a well known journalist:" Accursed be the arm and withered the aim, that would sever our connection from thee, Old England !" Of course all the independent journ- als the dailies, particularly arc delighted at the thought of such a brilliant but rather uncertain polit.&apos;- cian as Sir Richard espousing their pet hobby. But goodness gracious 1 its hard to say haw long Sir Richard will retain hit own impressions. And then the Queen kiugbttd him, jou kuow, and it would be a terrible tiling lo come doicn to plain Air. Cartwright again ! growl, and snarl, that is not at all in keeping with the character of a Chris- tian and a gentleman. " CU1S OF WEATHER.&apos;&apos; We never knew that there was such a thing as &apos; cuts of weather " until after reading tLo following iu last week&apos;s Thornbnry Vtnture; " The weather from JSottawa was quite chilly, fuinttimet tcr in,, going through c uti fifty feet thick .&apos;" Now, when a gentleman who boasts that he is not :iii ignorant and impu- dent boy," ( like some other editors lie knows of, you see ! ) allows the Queen&apos;s Knglish to be murdered in this shocking manner without even so much ns a fuint protest we arc justified in eiit" tuining doubts as to his alnlily to eo->e wi.li the aforemen- tioned " ignorant and impudent boys.&apos; Jaiuei Brayley, Hamilton, says : " I read the testimonials for McOregor&apos;g S|>erdy Cure ami foiu.d that 1 had not to go tu Now York, l&apos;hila<lelj>]ii, Louis- iana 01 &apos;l&apos;e\iis t liiicl living witnesses of its \uliie, \u lu.ve jilriity of persons right lien to ]>rove i&apos;s merits I gota bottle and it helped nil- riijlit airay.

It may be possible we will not presnn:u to say it really is the case, however, as the other side of the question is yt t to be heard that the Temperance I>ople of that neighborhood did not take part in the recent surprise party to our esteemed friend, liev. Mr. Gran- dy, by special vote of the lodge. It cannot be questioned but that tlioe were sonic Temperance people at the larty iu quention and members of Eugenia Division of Sons of Temper- ance at that. Our correspondent did not say that the Divition took any par!, in it, officially ; he simply .said that tho " Ttmperancx people irith tli) iror thy J&apos;titriitrch at thrir head," Ac., &c., put in an appearance. &apos; Truth&apos;t " remarks arc, to say the least, ungenerous, if not uncalled for, and show a djsfositiop to grumble.
