GOFGH. The readers of Mr. Gough' s autobiography, and the still larger class to whom he has heen made known by his public addresses, having expressed a desire for further facts with reference to Mr. Gough's life and labours than what have already appeared before the world, the following narrative has been drawn up, not to gratify an idle curiosity, but to stimulate, to interest, and in- struct. Mr. Gough is public property?his history is the history of a cause?all that concerns him concerns it?his triumphs are its triumphs?the greater is his success, the greater is the success of a work as noble as any that ever fired a human heart, or required the entire devotion of a human life. It is by human agency that intemperance is to be grappled with and humanity saved. The history, then, of the Temperance Reform, as of that of all other retbrms, is the history of individuals; and surely one of the most illustrious of these is the orator who left our shores a boy?who with his wingedwo.'ds became a name and power amidst the teeming millions of the new world, and who comes back to us a loved and honoured man to preach against the curse so extensive and fatal in our midst, and to teach the slave of habit how he can burst his fetters and become free. Our aim is not to give a chronicle dry as the remainder biscuit after a voyage of what Mr. Gough has done, and where he has been. We do not even profess to give the facts as they occur in chronological order, and from our scanty knowledge we must necessarily omit much that is valuable, and that would repay our gathering up and attempting to record. We make no ambitious attempt to Decide on Mr. Gough's merits, to assign him his proper place amidst orators living or dead, or even fully to detail a career which has been won...
