TEETOTALISM.

To the Editor of the Eening S'JAE,

gin,—As a total abstain* I beg to thank fon for yaiiv leader of Satuiay night last- It was nn act of folly tosuppose that the Rev. Warlow Davies wo'ul (publish a sermon to ttondemn himself, not ut what ho said son/ie words which, I thin, his brat friends com -tier would have been letter left unsaid. It if? not always for the coimou good to say all one thinks or believes.

You were perfectly right in saying that tho extreme opinions held and xpressed by some very zealous, but not over-ludened with dis cretion, teetotallers, are doig great injury to the ciiuae of temperance. I ia not the Rev. Warlow Davies, or enenes outside (these cannot hurt us), but foli=h men inside the camp who arc doing he mischief, and telling the world, by ther Want of sound common sense aud good juigment, that their wisdom is not yet sufficients ripe to hare the power placed in their hand, thoy arc asking for. But, sir, [am glad V Bay, that the ex> treme few—with their teetoalinteropciwce— do not represent the grnt mass of total abstainers—who aro men a moderation and temperance. Hoping thai tie actions and counsels of our great cuuse nay be guided by that wisdom and modeation which it deserves, and which will bet recommend its principles and truest interest, —I am, &c, A To:al Abstaineb.

To the Editor of the Etenin& Stae.

Sib, —I have seen the letter, in your issue of last Friday's paper, upon a young man's rise and progress, and conclude that the young man there commented upon must be the same as I had the pleasure of living with while on board the good ship Excelsior, during her last voyage from England. . j Taking for granted that it is so, as the statements therein contained co exactly coincide with those I frequently heard a young man make during tbe passage, I feel myself privileged in having travelled so far with so renowned a personage. I have also seen a letter in answer to the above, purporting to come from the noted Willjam Stanians, but which I am satisfied came from a far more able pen than his,—the productions sent by him to be inserted in our " board ship" news paper being so ungrammatical and indifferently •pelt that it was utterly impossible to publish them without injuring the minds of the younger portion of the passengers. I am surprised that we did not hear more of his knowledge of Latin while on board ship. Had he known as much of the language as even his few ineorreet quotations would imply, I think we should not have failed to hear somewhat extensively of it. I should recom mend him to read up his Virgil a little before he indulges again. With regard to that " amoosin little cuss" Jack (to use the showman's words), I cannot see what Mr. Stanians' object is. if he lives iv hopes of one day raising him to the dignity of a stool-boy, he will certainly be dis appointed, as " Jack" would not give up his present position to become an assistant school teacher. I conclude, therefore, that his re marks upon this individual, and, in fact, any body else, originated from his own fertile imagination. Jack's size seems to be William Stanians' chief objectiou to him. I would call his attention to Dr. Watts' reply when he was criticised about his height— " Were I so tall to reach the pole, Or grasp the ocean with a span— I must be measured by my sou.; The mind's the standard of the man." —I am, &C, Jack Himself. [We must intimate to our friends of the Exoalsior that the correspondence ends here.— Ed. E.B.]
