The Temperance Banner.
The ardent and enthusiastic mind of the
Penfield * Banner 1 may vividly picture the
evils which liquor brings upon us, and we
will indulge him in his belief; but when he
doubts the non-cfficiency of the Prohibitory
Liquor Laws, in the Northern States, and
says that facts are better than mere opinions,
we have a word to say.
Upon reading the daily account* of the
manner in which the law is set aside—more
people in New York City engagedjn the
(ujjor tr.iTie than ever before—we did not
dream, that the warmest devotee of prohibi
tion, would contend that the law was execut
ed as it was intended, or as a law should be.
It would be for the good of the mind and
souls of our friends Seals and Steel, to
read Dickenson Prohibitory Legislation—in
another column of our paper.
It scorns we live in an age in which it is
attempted to legislate, not with an eye to the
rights, tho comforts—the wants—the well
being of g ijJ citizens, but it is only consid
ered how the wicked erring will turn the
blessings of Providence to bad account.
Honest Job Smith who labors hard six days
<f the week, must suffer in his rights—the
law must say when he shall thirst for a glass
of beer, because Sloggins with the black eye,
.and bull-dog will make harm from this priv
ilege. There is some legislation due to the
upright as well as to the abandoned.
Fanatical legislation will take auay our
beefstake, because some tnan may eat an ox :
honest men who are an honor to their coun
try and families, shall be deprived by law ol
taking when they wish to, that which Christ
in his first miracle prepared for the wedding
feast, because an unfortunate one may take
to excess.
llut to the question we wish to remark on
viz : the inefficiency of the Maine law ; we do
think that the testimony oPtlie press con
firms it.
We spike of \f issachusetts Boston : Here is
wha! the New Hampshire Phoenix—the most
violent Maine Law paper we ever rend says:
The Liqi’or Law in Boston.—Several
eases under the new liquor law of Massaehil-
setis have been tried in Boston, but no jury
can he found that will agree.
A-rain, see the ruinous effects, of (as we
conceive) thosi misguided attempts to refor
the world. %
The Liquor I-" v OF Connecticut.—In-
errasr of Urunkmiirss—The New Haven
I' the -Tilt has the following no.
lice of the effect of the liquor law in that
State. The Palladium says :
•• Probably there is more intoxicating li
quors retailed in Hartlord at this time than
ever helore, and evidently there is moredriin-
keuness. A stringent law will not make
men moral and temperate.
Club rooms have multiplied to a fearful
extent, anil hundreds of families in which li
quor was unknown before August last, now
keep a variety,and ask their friends to drink.
This one feature alone is doing incalculable
mischief. That fashion of keeping liquors
on the sideboard is fast coming into use, and
iis e .-ils are as great ns those of the rum shop.
The] liquor law is the parent of that evil.”
Litns see what they say in New York.
In .lie rural districts the law may be par
tially carried out, hut certainly no observant
man pretends to assert, but that in the large
cities and especially New York, the whole
matter is more than a dead letter. Here is
a ease from the N. Y. Herald, and it is the
history of hundreds almost without an ex
ception.
An interesting report of the trial of Mr.
(ieorge K. Von Beck, an extensive inaniitac-

laws which authorize the importation of:

The North and her Bights.
Let every man into whose hands this pa
per may fall, read the article in another col
umn, copied from the Boston Post. The same
article has been generally transferred to the
Democratic papers throughout the North, and
.may therefore be considered as tho senti.
ments of those papers, and asa consequence,
their patrons. The language is that of the
patriot and statesman. The locality from
which these conservative sentiments spring
•should be considered—Boston in whose
streets BatcheJJor, the Irishman, fell by the
hands of abolition assassins, while endeavor
>ng to maintain the Constitution,of Ids adopt
ed country in executing the fugitive slave
law—Boston, from whence emanated the
withering, bligh ing sentiments of the late
notorious Massachusetts Legislature; such as
the appointment of the Hiss committee,—the
impeachment of .Judge Loriug—the personal
liberty bijl—disfranchising white foreigners
and allowing negroes to vote—yes, in Boston
■ cr >n still he found patriotic democrats who
•dare speak the words of truth and soberness;
and still maintain the integrity of the Union.
Did such sentiments ever come from a North
ern Know Nothing ! Never ! But on the
°*hcr hand, men of the South, connected with
this order have united with their worthy abo
lition brethren auJ denounced the Nebraska
act as an outrage upon the North, and a
Eolation of plighted faith. The Democrats
■°* the North are even going farther in defence
of our rights than some who are born upon
‘he soii. If Judge Andrews is sincere in his
‘nquirics for means of escape .from the crisis
which seems to beapproaching, yro tell him
and all who are acting vrith him, that they
are combatting and endeavoring to beat down
the only true friends we hav-egotat the North,
and thereby hedging up the oiflv means of
escape we have from rupture. YVidl they be

Our Ticket.
Wo place at our mast-head this morning
the names of Dr. E. S. Billups for State
Senate and Messrs. W. G. Delon v, and Wm.
Dicken for the House of Representatives, of
Gei rgia. Theso gentlemen have, in the ab
sence of a nomination, and at the earnest so
licitation of their frionds, consented to run
for the above named offices; and we cal. tip.
on all Democrats and all the Republicsn
Whigs of Clark county, who are opposed to
the present Anti-Republican Know Nothing
movement, to rally to the support of these
gentlemen. Let us not enter the contest
with desponding spirits, or any doubts as to
the result. Doubts are traitors, and if we but
resolve to do our duty and our whole duty,
victory will perch upon our banner. Clark
county is the Thermopylae of the Sixth Dis
trict, and if we but defend this Pass with
Spartan courage, we shall be able to dr ve this
bastard and spurious Americanism of North
ern importation from our borders. Up! then,
friends, and bo doing. Clark County expects
every man to <!o his duty.
Hon. J. P. Benjamin, of Louisiana.
Tiic distinguished Whig Senator from
Louisiana has written a most able and pow
erful letter against Know Nothingisin. He
says the Frcc-Soil element of the next House
of Representatives being in a majority, will
tack on the repeal of tho fugitive slave hill to
the general appropriation hill, and the Sen
ate not yielding to this fanaticism, the wheels
of government must be brought to a stand
still. We say it is an uncontrovertable fact
that Northern Free-Soil Know Nothings fill
ing the seats of National Democrats have
brought this crisis upon us. Will the peo
ple of Georgia shut their eyes to this lament
able fact in which our union is imperilled,
ami listen to the delusive cry about the few
Catholics in our midst ! Are we sane men
thus, like Nero, to fiddle while Rome is
huming 1
Senator Benjamin pays a deserved tribute
to Dodge, Shields, Petit, and other North
ern Democrats, who have stood by our Con
stitutional rights, but we believe lie does the
National Administration an injustice, in
thinking it will not also prove equally as
true. Prctidejit Pierce lias been as true as
steel to us in every instance. Let not the
South forget that in hitn she has bad a
firm unwavering friend, and ‘‘judging the
future by the past,” he will still prove the
rock of our defence, against whom the bil
lows of fanatirism shall beat in rain.
Senator Benjamin gives some of lus objec
tions to the Northern imported secret oath
bound order of Know Nothiogism, and the
best of the American people will (eel and
know that they are words of wisdom and
truth. He opposes them—
** Because they are anti-republican, in re
fusing equal rights to all American citizens:
“ Because, they violate the spirit, if not
the very letter of the Constitution, by the
proscription of citizens on the ground of
their religious belief:
“ Because they arc a retrogression towards
the errors of the dark ages, in tending to
wards a union of Church and State, a union
equally dangerous to civil and religious lib
erty :
“Because they present issues addressed to
the passions and prejudices of the people,
and thus tend to divert their attention
from those higher subjects over whieh it is
their duty to keep ceaseless watch:
“ Because, above all, they infringe that
priceless privilege of freedom, the right of
independent personal action, guided by inde
pendent personal judgment.
•‘If not one of all these objections, in super
able in my opinion, existed against this or
ganization, I repeat, that I would ri fuse to
join a body held together, not by the ties of a
common belief in certain principles and
measures of public policy, but simply by
llioir preference of themselves as the right
class of men for office holders. Even if this
preference were wise and judicious, such an
association does not deserve the name ot a
party in a republic! It lacks that essential
element of one—it is a baseless fabrick
unsubstantial and ephemeral.”

were delivered some excellent speeches

best men in the Slate.
Judge Howard was then loudly called for
and took the stand. Like his friend, who
had preceded him, he had beon a Know No
thing, and stood there to-night as one “ risen
from the dead.” JLoml laughter and ap
plause.J While on a visit to Columbus, he
had been induced by the specious represen
rations and entreaties of a friend, to become
a member of the order. He did so, however,
only on the express understanding that he
could leave when he thought proper. With
this salvo he had gone through tie various
oaths, and had been inducted into the sever
al degrees. He had been grossly deceived
and felt himself absolved, lie had been
called a traitor, had been posted through the
lodges of the State as snch, was a marked
man. It annoyed him but little : he had
done nothing wrong, and had violated no
promise. But he was now a free and indc
pendent mar., and conjd look the world bold
ly in the face, which ho could not before.
Judge Howard’s expose of the oaths, tricks
and principles of the secret order was receiv
ed with immense applause. At almost eve
ry sentence the room resounded with loud
laughter and cheers.

Committee

Insitation
For tho Southern Banner.
To the Voters of FiauUlin County.
In response to a call upon the candidates
for the Legislature in this county, in last
week’s Southern Banner, to certain interro
gatories—recognizing, as I do, that the peo
ple have a tight to the publicly expressed
opinions of their candidates upon all politi
cal questions, I have none that 1 would con
ceal if I could, and any candidate who does
not recognize that right, or would conceal
his political opinions from those whom he is
seeking the support of, is, in my opinion
unworthy of the support of a free and intelli
gent people—I shall, therefore reply to your
interrogatories as briefly as possible :
First. I believe the people have a right to
the publicly expressed political opinions of
their candidates for office, but I do not recog
nize the right of the people to the religious
opinions of candidates for office. I am not
now, nor never have been a member of an
organization known to the country by the
name of the Know Nothing order, or party;
and the answer to this interrogatory is, and
will be an answer to your second interroga
tory.
To your fifth, you ask who I will vote for
for Governor, if elected, and the election
should devolve upon the Legislature, I an
swer unequivocally that I should vole for
Governor Johnson, the Democratic candi
date, having from my youth been a Democrat
myself. Respectfully, yours,
JOHN H. PAYNE.

ticket themselves.
And whereas the dissolution of the Whig
Party of this State, followed by the rapid in
crease of the dangerous secret organization,
known as the Know Nothing party, and
partial confusion in the Democratic party of
this county, produced in a great measure by
multiplicity of candidates for the Legisla
ture, admonishes us to be active, in perfect
ing a more perfect party organization,
And whereas, party discipline can never
be affected, and party triumphs can never
ba achieved, while there are so many candi
dates in the field,
And whereas, wo desire our party to tri
umph in tho present Congress, not so much
on account ol party success, but for the noble,
and glorious purpose of vindicating, and sus
taining the constitution of our country, shield
ing, and defending it from the secret attacks
of its enemies, and securing and handing
down to generations yet unborn, the inestima
ble boon of religious liberty—liberty of con
science—yes, that liberty for which our Re
volutionary fathers fought, and triumphed.
Resolved, that we adopt, and ratify the
platform of principles enunciated in the
preamble and resolutions adopted at the
convention ol the Democratic party’, held in
Milledgcville. on the 5th of June last, as the
principles which shall govern us in the pre

agree with us, whether whig or Democrat,
to co-operate with us, and we hereby extend
the right-hand of fellowship to all such who
are disposed to unite with us.
Resolved, that wo think it expedient, to
hold a nomination for candidates for the Le-
gislature, and for that purpose, we think it
best, that each militia district in the county,
should hold primary meetings of the people,
and each district appoint, in any manner
said district meeting may think best, on
Wednesday, the 22nd inst, three delegates,
whose duly it shall be to meet at J.efferson
on Friday the 2lth inst., and nominate a
candidate for senator, and two for Represen

Resolved, that it shall be the duty of the
chiirinan of each district meeting, to g : .ve

those that are willing to ect with them against
the so called “ American Party,” met at Jef

pose of harmonizing and presenting a ticket
to the peoplelor the next Legislature.
Richard Pentecost, was called to the Chair
and A. B. Pittman appointed Secretary. Upon
motion, S P. Thurmond Rsq. explained the
object of the meeting in a few remarks, and
admonished-us to act in harmony, against our
secret wily foe; when he concluded, R. J.
Miilican, Esq., followed in a short speech,
mostly addressed to the candidates, urging
them to submit to the action of their friends,
and to yield their own preferences for the
interest of their country.

For the Southern Banner.
Monroe, Ga., July 2, 1b55
Dear Banner : We are informed that the
Know Nothings of this county have nomi
nated Dr. John R. Moore as one of their
candidates to represent this comity in the
next Legislature. It is also stated that the
Doctor wrote two letters to satisfy Himself
and friends of his acceptance, and finally all
now agree that in the Doctor is the Know
Nothing candidate.
This being the understanding, a friend
and neighbor of the Doctor meets up with
him; and makes the followi'g statement and
inquiry:
“ Well, Doctor, you are a candidate of tiic
Know Nothing party, and you are tny neigh
bor, and I do not wish to do you any injus
tice in the campaign, but wish to represent
you fairly before the people; so, just tell me,
Doctor, how you stand, and what your prin
ciples are!”
The Doctor replied in substance, that liis
friend and neighbor would show him great
courtesy and kindness, if he would only
wait until the 8th of August next, after which
time, he, the Doctor, would let him know
how he stood, and what his principles were.
“ Well, well, Doctor, what, a candidate for
the Legislature, and waiting until the eighth
of August to ascertain your principles ! Per
haps, the Doctor h id better wait until after the
first of Octobre next; what do you think,
Banner! It may be, the Doctor has his
principles in his breeches pockets. How
ever, we intend to do the Doctor no injustice,
and his statement, if it means anything,
means simply that he now has no principles
to present to the people, but will have after
the 8th of August next.
We said above that “finally all hands
agree that the Doctor is the Know Nothing
candidate.” This statement, perhaps, should
be altered a little, just a little; for some pio-
ple in this county say that the Doctor accep t
ed the Know Nothing nomination with the
old Whig principles “annexed.” We <lo
not profess to know whether “some pcoplis"
are right or wrong, but we intend to state
what is going on among the “people.”
We would like to know if Briscoe and
Bennett accepted the nomination with “Den-
cratic principles annexed for he it known
that these two men have been held up to the
public as independent\ and Democratic candi
dates, running against the Democratic nomi
nation.
If such political tactics as Know Nothings
arc practicing in Walton at this time, does
not bring an overwhelming defeat upon them
in October next, it will not meet with the
fate it richly deserves ; and every true lover
of his country may tremblingly exclaim :
Oh, tempora ! Oh, mores ! and may well ask,
“to what end will their unbridled fury lead
them” and their country !
But alluding to the 8th of August reminds
us of the “ Columbus movement,” and the
position of Mr. Peeples thereon. It is urtr
derstood in Walton, that the Know Nothing
candidate for Senator in Clarke, says in his
public speeches, that the “ Columbus move
ment” meets With his hearty approval. We
ask Mr. Peeples, then, why he don’t haul
down his Know Nothing principles, and
meet, or propose to meet the Columbus men
on the 8th of August next! Fighting for
the Know Nothings and opposed to their
Order, and in favor of the Columbus move
ment, which invites you to come with them*
and be “one party and one people.!” Go it,
Mr. Peeples !
Dear Banner, please tell Mr. Peeples, that
the Columbus movement is opposed to Whiga
and Democrats, Southern Rights and Union
men, Abolitionists and Free-Spilers, Hards
and Softs, Know Nothings and Anti-Know
Nothings* tp spy. and to *U parties and organ'
izations, anywhere and everywhere; and tell
the Know Nothings of Clarke that Mr. Pee
ples is opposed t° them if he is in fevor of
the Columbus movement, and that they
ought to have another candidate, or they will
be sold out lock, stock, and barraJL in the
twinkling of a bed post.
We fear however, after reflection, that
James D. Matthews, Esq., has placed
us under repeated obligations for presents of
delicious fruit. He will accept our thanks.
Mr. James Morris has also presented us with
some large apples, whieh arc over 14 Inches
round. He says they are regular Anti-Know
Nothing apples, and can beat an) Know
Nothing’s apples in Clark or Jackson.
Fouiiil at Last!
No little speculation lias been indulg
ed in as to the author of the Philadelphia
and Macon Platforms of the Know
Nothings, and the coiyectures have belli
as various and conflicting as those that
have so long agitated the public as to
the author of Julius' letters. But we
think the man who did up the Plattonns
for the recent .Know-Nothing Convert
tioiiB is now identifled. No one will dis
putc the fact after reading the advertise
ment of Mr. Boozle given below, which
we found in the columns of the New
