Excerpt from Address of the Temperance Society of South Carolina to the Citizens of the State: With an Appendix The reader of the following pages is informed that on the third of July, 1838. a Convention was held in Columbia, composed of delegates from Temperance Societies in different parts of the State of South Carolina, instructed by their several associations to form a State Society for the promotion of Temperance. The Convention was duly organized, and the Hon. Chancellor Johnson was elected its President, and Gilbert T. Snowden, appointed its Secretary. After a full consideration of the object which called the Convention together, it was unanimously agreed that it was now expedient to organize a State Temperance Society. A Society was accordingly formed, by the adoption of a Constitution and the election of officers. The Constitution of the Society, and the journal of the Convention, will be found at the close of these pages. The object of the Society briefly is to form a bond of union between the several local Societies, by which they may mutually strengthen and encourage each other in their efforts to resist the use of intoxicating drinks - those destroyers of domestic peace and civil prosperity. It is hoped that great good will result from the annual meetings of the Society, attended as they are designed to be, by delegates from local institutions in all parts of the State, and also from the various means which will be adopted for the extension of information on the subject of Temperance. The Society will aim to obtain the services of some well qualified agent or agents, who will visit different parts of the State for the purpose of communicating information and exciting attention to the great evils and proper cure of Intemperance. It will also be the aim of the Society to procure the publication and circulation of such temperance documents and journals, as shall be best suited to produce a good effect in this community, and be adapted to our wants, while they avoid all expressions and sentiments of a dangerous tendency. Having given you a brief account of the plan and objects of the State Society, we invite your attention to the following address, prepared for the Society by the Rev. Dr. Hazelius, of the Lutheran Theological Seminary, located at Lexington. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
