PROSPECTUS

.i Aiewspoper published at Athens, Geo
DEVOTED TO THE UNP’N OF THE STATES AND
THE HIGHTS OF THE STATES.
SJ INCE issuing our proposals about a year since,
9 lor enlarging and improving the Southern Banner
evt uts have transpired in this state, which render it
« duly we owe to ourselves, ns w II as our friendsand
patrons, to issue a new prospectus.
Il isiiupnssible lor the most superficial observer of
the signs <>t the tnaes, not to have drawn from them
the irresistible conclusion that (he political elements
of our Mate have, within the Inst six months, under
gone a revolution as great as it was sudden ami unex
peeled; ami we led it a duty we owe to the public,
*'■ scatter any lingering mists which may still surround
us, produced by this war ot elements, this breaking
up of old party foundations, and Ibis mingling ot ex
tremes hitherto so opp.<».*'.«! in the formation ot new
ones, in order th it our true position may be revealed,
both to those With whom we shall hereafter act, and
to those by whom we may be opposed. It is notour
intention, however, at present to enter into an expla
nation of tbc reasons which have actuated us in mak
ing a choice between the parties lately organized in
our State—they have been heretofore, and may be
hereafter, more fully explained in our c Innins Our
object is simply to call the attention of th public to
out press, and to enlist ttin aid ot those in its behalf i
witn whom as a party we me determined to act.
The sell styled “ State Kights Tarty” having adopt
ed the doctnue ot nullification in its most obiutriuiis
sense, hv the very soul of its creed, we wash our hands
of It forever, and pledge our ties! exertions support
and maintain that party both at the South and through
out the whole country, which, rallying around that ’
abused and villitied patriot, Andrew Jackson, have
pledged themselves to maintain against consolidation
on one hand, and nulliucntion on the other, the integri
t», honor and glory of our free institutions.
VYith this tree mid candid acknowledgment of our]
views and sentiments, we submit our paper to the ten
dri mercies of our opponents, mid to the protection of
our friends Uur opposition to nullification hereto- ’
fore, has, as might have been anticipated, called down
upon us the proscription ot a portion of our old friends. |
and their exertions to prostrate us Increase in pro
portion as their zeal lor the Calhoun mania waxes not. ■
We hope, however, that the nsposiaon lately evinced i
by the triends ofthe Constitution and Union, to up I
bold and sustain ns against their nullifying efforts, w ill 1
S-ow and strengthen in a proportionate degree and
al we will be enabled,by their countenance and as [

A wild young h’liow irito' d „ f <<ve |y
anti having been ’„ n{l a ddi nd ■ hadita of dis
sipation, even the sincere alia 'iient which he
1 entertained towards his wife, could not euttre»
Jy disentangle him from his snare. Hi* nc
casiona! irregular hours would have given any
hut one of so pure & sweet a disposition every
eason to suspect that she did not hold that
place in his affections which was her right ; hut
his reflection scarcely ever intruded upon her
spirits. The husband was far from being cru
el,-and really loved her, but this disposition
was weak, and fits Ct mpanions eloquent, and
he seemed to grow worse rather than better
in his habits. It happened once that he was
called out of town, and in his haste left behind
him a letter, in w hich to please an unprincipled
friend, he had spoken of his wife in terms of
earlessness, il not derision, and dilated freely
upon his general course ot life. Imagine th©
anxiety and surprise of the startled profligate,
when he found himself borne bv a rapid steam
boat upon a journey winch must necessarily
be of several days duration, yet remembering
distinctly that the fatal letter was left exposed
md unsealed upon his wife’s table. He re
collected too, with a pang, that he had wan
tonly, in an answer to her enquiries, boasted
that it contained a profound secret which he
would not have revealed for the world. He
paced the deck in an agony of disappointment
and shame, lie pictured her opening the let
ter, and turning pale with indignation; perhaps
with anguish; alarming the servants; living to
her father—renouncing him forever. As sootx
as possible he returned, but with a sinking
heart, io his dwelling, bracing himself up to
meet the fury ol an enraged and wretched wo
man. He opened the door softly. She was
bending over her table busily writing. A pLa*
ctd smile sealed her month with a perfect
beauty, and spread over her glowing features
Ihe mild expression of peace and joy • even as
she wro.e, the fragment of a sweet ballad fell
from her Ips in alow music that flows only
from a heart entirely at rest. The husband
stole noiselessly around, and read as her pen
traced tier gentle thoughts.
“Yotir letter is lying by me. The very ve
ry, teller, containing the profound secret
Now < ould I punish yon for your carlessness;
but, my dearr-st Charles, how could I look voti
in the face on your return, after having basely
violated your trust in mv integrity, and mean
ly sought io gratify a silly curiosity at the ex
pense ot honest v, delicacy and confidence—
No, the letter is unopened, and lest you should
feel measy. I enclose it to you, with the sin
cere love of your i'flectionnte wife !”
“What an angi I !” uttered the conscience
■triken husband.
She started up with a cry of pleasure, mid
as Charles met the light of her clear unshrin
king ryes, be was humbh d I.a* he should
have suspected her, tod struck with repen
tance at his own conduct. He ihencetorth
severed all ’iesthatdrrw him abroad; and if
the pure and nappy being whose influenr<* had
thus allured him to the path of lig..», n d pe
rused all his Hubsequeiu lexers, she would
have u>und nothing concerning herself, s<>vo
bursts of me sincerest admiration and the
warmest love.
One day last week, two itinerant travellers,
accompanied by an enormous bear, were com
ing from Coventry, when Bruin took it into his
head to jump into a ditch. His keepers ro d
every effort to gei him out, hut in vain. A
farmer’s servant corning up with two hordes,
he offered his assistance to displace the bear,
by yoking his horses to him, and he was sooti
displaced, but in an instant gave a hid. uus
joar. Asvat went the horses, with the b> ar
secured behind, at full speed, leaving ail par
ties far behind. A traveller coming op to
’hem, they asked if fie had seen a pair of hor
ses with a bear ahng with them?
replu d the man, “I did see the horses, but no
bear; It was the d< vil driving the horses at
