ATHENS, GEORGIA.
THURSDAY, PER. 1, 1814.
Temperance—-Hr. Hawkins.
Our citizcnsi had the pleasure, on Monday am!
Tuesday nights last, of listening to lectures on the
subject of Temperance, from Mr. Hawkins, one of
the early members of the first Washington Tempe
rance Society at Baltimore. If any thing could
give a new impulse to that cause here, it would be
such addresses as he delivers. He makes no effort
at oratorical display, yet few can equal him in de
picting those scenes of domestic suffering, in which
the famines of all drunkards, to a greater or less
extent, participate. His efforts are calculated to do
good, and vve hope he will be cordially received
wherever he goes.
Thirty-four names were added to the pledge, at
the close of the second lecture.

Augusta Constitutionalist.
This old and valuable paper conies to us in a new
and much improved dress, and right glad are we
to know that its patronage is extensive enough to
allow a new coat occasionally. The Constitution
alisl has long stood No. 1 among our commercial
and political papers, and we hope the endeavors of
its editors to meet the public expectation will con
tinue to be appreciated.
‘‘The Republic.”
Gen. DufTGreen has recently established a po
litical paper in New York city, the first number of
which has been sent us. It is a handsome sheet,
and the known ability of the editor to make a racy
mid interesting paper, will probably give it an im
mediate patronage. It professes the Democratic
fiiith, and from the number before us. wc judge it
to he the organ of that portion of our party in New
York who oppose ;he nomination of Mr. Van Bu-
reu. What course it will tako after his nomina
tion, (which we consider lias been already made by
the people.) shall he confirmed by the Baltimore
t'on vent ion, is yet to he known. If, as we hope.it
shall he found doing battle for the regular candi
date of the party, wc doubt not it will be an able
and valuable auxiliary to the Democratic cause
Mr. Calhoun.
This gentleman has just published an “ address
to his political friends and supporters," ill which
he expresses his determination not to allow his
name to go before the Baltimore Convention. Wi
have not yet seen the document, and cannot there
fore speak fully in reference to it. If not too long,
wc shall next week lay it before our readers. If we
recollect right, Mr. Calhoun not long since an
nour.ccd that this question was to be determined
by those who preferred him for the Presidency
hut he seems now to have withdrawn his confidence
from them, and taken the affair into his own hands
T’pontliis and other matters we shall have occasion
lo comment when wc have seen the address.
Heath of Judge Gaston.
The llott. W illiam Gaston, one of the Judges
o1 tlie Supreme Court of North Carolina, and long
one of the most prominent men in that State, died
at ltaicigh a few days since, aged 66 years.
Opposition Mails.
The fashion of running expresses to carry letters,
packages, Ac. has Itecn some time in vogue; but
we lately notice a regular opposition mail adver
met! between Boston, New-York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, to be extended further if patronised suf
ficiently. We do not know what power the Gene
rnlGovernment possesses to pul down establish
ments of this kind. They are cloarly in violation
of existing laws, and wc thipk there ought to he
authority somewhere to enforce those laws.
The present high rates of postage are urged
an excuse for this new movement. That those
rates ought to lie redaced, (and this may easily be
done by restricting the franking privilege.) is evi
dent to every one who has paid any attention to the
subject; and we are happy to perceive that a
movement is already made in Congress for that
jitirposo. Wc hope it may succeed.
by an obstinate, wrong-headed and treacherous
Executive. They would have done something
for the country, but could not. Hence they can
not contend that through their instrumentality any
Ihlug has been contributed to mitigate the calami
ties under which we hove labored.
From jtll this'the irresistible conclusion is, that
our embarrassments were not caused by any real
or supposed misgovemment, but by our own im
prudence and mismanagement. The Democrats in
1840 were right when they contended that Mr. Van
Uuren had no hand in producing the evils under
which we then labored. This our present rising
condition, under a government condemned by both
the great parties and possessing the confidence of
neither, fully shows. And it equally shows that
the Whigs were wrong in attributing those evils to
the administration of Mr. Van Buren. This the
people are compelled to see. They know, too,
that among the various means used to put Mr. Van
Buren and the Democratic party down in 1840,
none were so effectual as the charges which' were
made against hint, of injuring our pecuniary con
dition. That those charges were false, are now
apparent. That Mr. Van Buren was sacrificed be
cause those charges were then believed to be true,
cannot be doubted; and their falsehood being now
deinonsti ated, a strong and conclusive reason is
furnished why he should be restored to the posi
lion from which be was unjustly driven. Every
generous and conscientious maii, who was drawn
from his former political associations in the mem
orable campaign of coon-skins aud hard cider; and
who contributed, unJer what he now sees to have
been erroneous impressions, to overthrow the then
Democratic administration, must now feel a deep
and ardent desire to repair the wrong of which he
was then guilty. And hence we see in every di
rection, and in almost every State, unequivocal
demonstrations in favor of him who was then made
the victim of prejudice and misrepresentation.—
Our country has seldom if ever iteen blessed with
a more able, upright, independent and consistent,
Chief Magistrate, than Martin Van Buren; but be
coming by these very traits, obnoxious to bankers,
speculators, and public plunderers of all sorts, he
encountered their vindictive opposition. The dis
tressed state of the country was eagerly seized up
on as an argument against him; and this, with the
aid of every species of fraud, falsehood, and mis
chievous device, plausibly and unscrupulously used,
accomplished his temporary downfal. But we are
persuaded that there is intelligence and honesty
enough among us, to perceive ami repair the wrong;
so that an inducement may be held out for the prac
tice of virtue and fidelity, and all future statesmen
encouraged to believe, that in the strict discharge
of public duty they will be upheld and sustained by
a grateful people.
But to return. With the evidences of increasing
prosperity around us, we have to fear a relapse in
to that extravagance and speculation from the con
sequences winch we have just emerged. We
would offer our humble warning in season. Now
that the country is comparatively out of debt, we
would urge the importance of contracting no new
obligations. The bane of our peoplo is their inis
called enterprise. Anxious to “go ahead” in eve

ry tiling which promises pcc.uni.ity profit, however

which pervails, for the construction of rail roads,
building up cities in the wilderness, establishing
banks, <tc. &c. These greater schemes are the
sea lo which all the smaller rivulets of speculation
tend. They absorb capital; they excite trade and
commerce ; they quicken the natur.’ current of bu
siness; and exert an influence which is felt in all
departments of life, and which few arc able to re
sist. Now that prices are generally good, and
especially now that our great Southern staple is ad
vancing, temptations to over-trade are becoming
stronger and stronger. lost us beware in time, or
a few years will find us as dangerously prosperous
as wc were in 1837, followed by the same period
of prostration ofbusiness, pecuniary distress, bank
ruptcy and ruin. -
The Times.
For some months we have observed an improve
ment in the monetary affairs of the country. The
tide of speculation has long since ceased to roll,
and to overwhelm the unwary and unsuspecting;
and since the dawn of the present year, the elements
of prosperity are every where more distinctly seen.
The recklessness and improvidence of past years
were only followed by their natuial consequences;
but while many have suffered from the revulsions
of tho times, a beneficent Providence has kindly
ordered, that when wo had been punished for our
transgressions, a retnrn to rcasun and reflection
should be followed by a return to comfort and hap
piness. The daily laborer now receives a Com
pensation for his toil, the mechanic finds employ
ment, the business of the merchant is reviving,
and lire farmer and planter receivea remunerating
jirico for the products of their labor and capital.
Tho question naturally arises,what has produced
this favorable change in our affairs I To those
who in 1840 were so loud in attributing the disas
ters of the country to the then National Adminis
tration, and were sincere in their declarations,
this may Ite a mystery ; but to us its solution is
easy. It is a mystery to them, because if a bad
government caused the distress, a-good one was re
quired to bring relief. It Is certain that the ad'
ministration of President Tyler is characterised by
the Whigs ae any thing but good or advantageous
to the country; Bitter as they were in their de
nuneiations of Mr. Van Buren, their abuse of him
was mild and charitable, when compared with the
invectives they have heaped upon President Tyler,
In their opinion there was no corruption to which
he would not resort to secure partisans, no wicked
ness so monstrous that he would-net practise it to,
obtain his ends. And besidaa all, his profligacy
was only surpassed hy his imbecility. From such
• government they, at least, could not hope for any
relief to the -overwhelming distresses of the peo
ple. During the few months in which they were
in a majority InCongrese, they contend that all their
efforts at reform and amelioration were thwarted
