THE CENTRA*. BANK.
To correct recent mierepresentation*, we presented
car readers last week with an account nf the creation
efthe Bank, and referred briefly to aome of the promi
nent act* of (hose in authority, the consequences of
which were fatal to its credit, and hare reduced it to
what ft ia. And we now ask of the reader a patient
hearing while we make a few more remarks, and refer
him to documents confirmatory of our position.
It is unnecessary to say much in relation to the ac
tion of the Demoermtie Legislature, in 1837, who were
eompellod to borrow so largely to carry out the distri
bution promised and made during that year. It is well
Mown that all the available means of the Institution
•ere loaned out, m the early part of the year—and it
was charged then that this was a forced loan, made to
render Governor Jlchley’s administration popular with
the people, and secure his re-election. But be this as
it may, the second distributisa of that year, of money
deposited with the State by the Federal Government,
waa a most ruinous policy, and it was this that caused
the State Legislature to borrow over 8300,000 in New
York at 8 per cent to loan out to the people at 6 per
sent a Democratic measure of finance, equalled only
by the act of 1839, authorising the Bank to loan upon
its capital, and that capital not in specie, but in notea
«f debtors, bonds nf individuals, and all tlie other trash
that had accumulated there, and in the State Treasury,
lincc the formation of the Government.
These distributions were the entering wedge to the
Bank's downfall. The object of those who made them,
was too apparent then, and is too well remembered now,
to ensure any belief in those who have the hardihood
to deny them. Protested against then by the Whigs
generally fhtlie State, they feel that they have never
been responsible for the gross misconduct, and it must,
despite of all denial, he fastened upon and stigmatize
those who, to retain power, betrayed the people’s inter,
cste. But we will let these memorable financial ex.
ploita pass forthe present, while we refer to the act of
1839.
At the time of the passage«f thie blot upon the statute
book of Georgia, the Democratic patty controlled the
Legislature. The measure, itself, was purely Demo,
cratic, and it was resisted by the Whigs and a few Dem
ocrats, to the last, with all the zeal, power, and ability
they could bring into the contest. As an evidence of
bow K was opposed in the Legislature by the Whig
Party, we publish to-day the Protest of Governor Craw
ford, signed by a large number of the members, as well
as by Messrs. STONE, MILLEN, and ARNOLD, of
Chatham, who, it will not he denied, were members of
the Democratic party. And as an evidence of how the
measure was viewed by the Whig press, at least by
ourself, we republish remarks made by us at the time of
its passage. A reference to these, with the feeling re-
collection that the people have, of the Bank’s history,
since that time, will satisfy any one, that to Democratic
policy alone is the State indebted for all the evile which
it has endured and for the present ruinous condition of
the Bank;
In Governor Crawford’s pretest, the reader will find
the moet wholesome truths—and his prophecy that the
measure would soon “cause the bills <f the bank to circu.
late as depreciated money," was realized in a few days
afterwards.
With these remarks we will close for the present,
earnestly asking of our readers to peruse the republished
article to which we have referred, and then to compare
what we then said, with what thereafter occurred. It
will aot be hard then, even for a Democrat, to deter
mine upon whom the mismanagement of the State's fi
nancial affairs is to rest.
•*yinff “lb* public debt ha* Increaaed *110,090 during
Governor Crawford'* adminiatration. He would have
that th# Governor hts reduced the public debt
•100,000, while, by the aale of 8lal* bond*, by author!,
ty of law, to complete the Railroad, the debt haa boon
increaaed *40,000. Thi* id the truth. Can “Pinoy
Woods” deny it t
2d. “The Penitentiary is an annual oxpenae of $13,.
679.”
Notao, Mr. "Pinoy Wood*.” Take administrations
previous to the present one, and $13,070 wont begin to
come up to the annual expense. But under Governor
Crawford’s, the annual expense for the present year will
be nothing. Last year it yiolded a profit to the State,
of *6,744 52—apd this year, thero will be rendered
•till a better account. All the figuring which can be
mads in regard to this Institution, and its able and sue-
cessful management, cannot change substantial facts,—
We assert, so doits managers, so will Mr. Redding to
the Legislature, and so did the Legislative Committee
one of whom, Dr. Phillips, of Habersham, is as sterling
a Democrat as "Piney Woods,” that the Penitentiary
was a source of profit tho past year, and that thereafter
"it may be made source of revenue, rather than expense”
to the State. And yet “Piney Woods” figures differ,
ently!
3d. “Tfie Whig Legislature of 1843 exceeded in ex
penditures the Democratic Legislature of 1642, $58,.
162.”
Another mis-Blatement 1 Tho Democratic Logisja-
litre of 1842, instead of expending 169,055 dollars, as
■■Piney Woods” says it did, expended 224,641 97—all
of which latter amount was paid out, leaving arrearages
to the tune of over $60,000 to be paid by Governor Craw
ford when lie took chargo of tho helm. While of the
amount appropriaied in 1843, for Governor Crawford’s
administration, ho will have, unexpended, large balances
in every approprialion—for instance, out of $20,000
appropriated for a Printing Fund, $10,000 will remain
in the Treasury—and so on with other appropriations.
Such are facts which we present, in reply to the as.
sertions and figuring of this champion for tho Democrat
ic press. The people will appreciate them, and that is
all which wc desire.
expended for supplies Is a little over 8 per cent upon tUb
nett profit* received on the crop.
By applying thi* to the State, and taking only 05 out
of tfie 76 counties in the Slate which grow cotton for
market, and taking Hancock as the average, it will be
seuu that the nett receipts of the State ia $9,704,525;
and the expenditure of the State for necessaries that
she could make herself would bo $858,825. What an
amount for such an injury as I think I can prove it to
bo !—Is there any one who will doubt for one moment
that Georgia could raise $858,225 in pork, Imraes, mules
and flour, cheaper than to raise the mnney by the
growth of cotton to pay for it
advantages accruing to our '
necessary supplies and the
people?
But again, let us apply this calculation to the whole
cotton growing region; and as tho per ct. paid out by
Hancock is perhaps far below tho average paid out by
the whole, I will assume 20 per cent as the average,
and 2,400,000 bales as the number of the last crop; from
which deduct twenty per cent, and you have left
1,920,000 halos. The question is—what increase of
prico would this decrease in quantity give?—There is
no rule by which this question could be correctly an
swered; but supposing tho 2,400,000 to be only a full
and plentiful supply, and knowing that there is a daily

ID* The Constitutionalist whilst engaged in pub
listiing, and lauding “Piney Woods* ” articles, talks of
"vamped up affairs,” and flimsy efforts at deception” on
the part of the Whig Press! Why this is “most tol
erable and not to be endured,*’ as Dogberry says! We
would advise the Constitutionalist to re-examine
‘Piney Woods*,** and see if “ vamped up affairs”
and “flimsy efforts at deception,” are not as “plenty as
blackberries in the month of June,’* in those prec
ious communications. We must confess too that when
we read the salutatory of the Editor, wc expected from
him hard knocks, but at the same time even handed jus.
lice. The lauding of “Piney Woods,” who is a bundle
of mis-s'tatements. and the manner in v* hicli Governor
Crawford*9 connection with the Algerine Laws is
noticed, force us to abandon this reasonable expectation.
The Editor well knows that Governor Crawford
did not favor the Algerine Law, and in hinting to his
cotemporary, the Georgian, that it is better to drop the
charge, as it is a “dead question” in Augusta, lie fails
to communicate the fact—his article leaving a different
impression. It has therefore passed the "Rubicon.”
aud there is now no retreat. Be it so!

This writer reminds us of him who fired the Ephesian
Temple that his name might, in future ages, be famous
with posterity. With him. it was of no consequence
tbit he was committing an outrage upon the Ephesians
—all his hopes and wishes were, that lie should be talk-
| *Z 4 and retd of, after his mortality had been food for
worms. A noble action be appeared incapable of per-
g, and an ignoble task lie dared assign himself.—

the public will ever know who it is that has taken so
much trouble to mislify facts, to misrepresent the re-
cord, to make black appear white, and to deceive the

I should be taken of them; and in our last wc made a few

DEMOCRACY OF THE CHEROKEE COUNTRY
(for THE GEORGIA JOURNAL.]
CENSUS OF HANCOCK.
Mr. Editors:—Tha legislature of Georgia,at its
last session, in making provisions for taking the census,
neglected to require those to whom that duty might be
assigned, to take also at the same time the agricultural
statistics of tho county. Believing that such informa
tion would be valuable to our people generally, and dc-
sirous that it should he furnished at least for Hancock,
I sought and obtained from the Inferior Court the ap
pointment, that the citizens of my own and native coun
ty might be informed, not only what they grew for con
sumption and for market, but what they bought that
they could have raised, and what they paid for it.
It has been the custom of Georgians to make Cotton
to purchase horses, mules, pork and fluur—and from a
people, too, that did not barter for any of our products.
Nothing but our money would pay for thoir articles—
that tnonpy never returnod to us throughatiy other chan
nels; and, of course, such a trade has kept up a con
tinued drain upon the country. The opinion has been
prevalent among us, that it was cheaper for the cotton
grower to purchase those supplies than to raise them.
A single view of the case would satisfy any one that the
policy ia bad even when cotton bears a fair price. When
Cotton is bringing a fair price, every thing else hears a
corresponding fair price; or when cotton suddenly rises
to a good price, the rise of other articles is simultane
ous with it. But when cotton falls ittakesa yearmore,
and sometimes ttvo, for other articles to fall in the same
ratio; and the farmer who has neglected to raise his own
supplies, nut only suffers by Che reduced price uf cotton’,
but in having to pay former, or the same prices, for his
supplies as when his cotton bore a high price. The re
sult of my observation is, that the farmer who made a
little corn, wheat, oats, pork or bacun, wool, potatoes,
and occasionally a horse to sell, and not more than three
bags of cotton to tho hand, was usually the money loaner;
while lie who raised eight bales to the hand, aud bought
his pork, mules, horses and fluur, complained most of
tho hard times, and not unfrequently was tho money
borrower to the tune of sixteen per cent. The conclu
sion then is just, that if the farmers of Georgia had
raised their own pork, horses, mules and flour, tanned
theirown leather, made their own negro shoos, clothes
and blankets, they would be vastly better off than they
arc, and many would have been saved the mortification
they have felt at seeing their property brought to the
block under the Sheriff’s hammer.
My object in laying the agricultural statistics of
Hancock before the public, is to arrest their attention
on this subject, for what is true of Hancock is true of
the balance of the State, and the cotton growing region
generally. Thoextentof this rule varies in the differ
ent sections of the cotton growing region; out every
where its bad consequences arc tobc6lriclly measured
by tho extent, great or limited, to which the system is
carried of raising cotton to purchase supplies. I am
happy to believe that Hancock, in this particular, haa
materially changed her course. Her expenditures aro
scarcely the fourth of what they were a few years ago.
Now the principal part of the pork bought is by the
inhabitants of Sparta, Mt. Zion and Powelton, and a
portion of that supply is furnished by the farmers of
the county—the source from which the lown9 should bo
entirely furnished—for thus the money which must ne
cessarily be paid out by those whose occupations will
noi permit them to raise it, would ho kept in the country.
I am happy, also, to find that our farmers are supplying
our town with an excellent article of flour, and many of
tfconi are raising their own horses and mules. This 1
attribute to two causes: first, the very low price of cot.
ton; and secondly, the iufluenco of our Planters’ Club,
which has dune much to improve the agriculture of our
county, and caused our citizens to think more correctly
upon the subject of wearing out their lands to make
cotton to purchase that which they could more easily
make.
I proceed to lay before you tho census of Hancock,
the quantity of crops, and the amount of mnney paid out
for supplies.
Number of free white persons, 3,642: slaves, and free
persons of color, 6,407; free white males, between <> ami
10 years, 005; free while females, between 0 and 15
years, 604; Slaves, 0,348; free persons of color, 59; deaf
and dumb 8; Lunatics5.
Bushels of corn raised, 44 302,856; bushels nf wheat.
17,683; bushels of oats, 31,880; Ills, ginned cotton,
3,820,602; pounds of pork raised 1,401,400; pounds of
pork bought, not raised in the State, 228,749; pounds ol
flour bought, not raised in the State, 13,750; horses and
mules bought, not raised in the State, from tho 1st
April, 1844. to the 1st April, 1845, 82; amount paid
out for horses, mules, pork and flour, not raised in the
State, $13,205.
Thia atalciuonl approximates as near tho truth as
possible, unless every man had kept a strict account of
what he had made.
From the foregoing statement, it appear* than Han.
cock raised by the last crop 3,626,692 Iba, nf cotton ;
which at five cent*, about the averago price received for
it, brought into the hauds ot the farmers $191,344 50.
Deduct the expenses of freight, storage, commission,
4te. at $4 25 per bag on 9,507 bags, the number it
would take to pack the crop, and we have tbe total ne-
csaaarv expanses, amounting to $40,657; which de.
ducted from tho amount received, would leave in the
funds of the farmere $150,085 of nett profits. From
demand for tho manufactured article, it is safe to eay
that the price would increase at least in the same pro.
portion as the reducliou in quantity; and thus we would
have tho same amount of money in the country for
1,920.000 bags, ns we now have for 2,400,000. And it
is probable that !he increased price would in a year ur
two goto fifty, if not one hundred per cent. It is easv
to perceive that a country would be more prosperounaml
happy to raise hor supplies within herself than to pur
chase them from another, especially when it is remem
bered that the former course will keep an equal, if not
a greater amount of money among them at home, and at
the same time protect them Irom the disastrous vicisi*
tudes of a foroign trade.
It may be asked after all my positions are admitted to
bo true, how thia is to effect the individual, where there
isno hope of arresting the selfish and heedless course
of the cotton grower in his single, undivided airn for
quantity. The diminution of my crop.orof manycrope,
will havo no effect on tho market, but on tho contrary,
will put the less amount of money in the pockets of those
of us who attempt such a policy; although I may be no
worse off fur raising my necessaries, aim may have the
same amount of money that 1 would have on my old
plan of purchasing them, 1 cannot conceive that I am
any betteroff. To this it may be answered that cotton
is a very unstable article in its price, and governs the
price of every thing else.—When it rises, every thing
else rises simultaneously with it; but when it falls it
takes two years for other articles to fall in the same
ratio, for the very plain reason that when cotton is high
every energy is bent on its production—this creates
deficiency in necessary supplies, for which the demand
being too great for the quantity on hand, the price ne
cessarily keeps up. Now, if you had raised your own
supplies, you would only suffer the diminution in the
price of cotton; and if you havo not, you will have also
to bear the same price for those necessaries which you
had to pay when your cuttou brought a good price.
Again, by curtailing the cotton crop we would be on-
nabled to improve our farms, so that in a few years we
would be able, not only to raise a full supply for our
own consumption, but some to spare to the neighbor
ing towns, and our usual quantity of cotton also! And
this is not all, by this Increased value given to our la*
bouring capital in enabling it to yield a bettor interest,
and the marketable value we may from year to year add
to our lauds, will be no small comidcration if we should
want to sell them. Is it not better, yea, far belter for
the farmer to mako his own supplies and a little to
spare, and then what cotton he can ?
In conclusion I call upon the fanners of my native
county (and if it would not be considered presumptu
ous, of my native State) to examine this subject with
an eye single to their own interest,as well as the inter
est of the whole community at large, and that of pos
terity—and as one man, to rally to the rescue of our
long abused calling. It is time wc had claimed for our-
selves a more elevated position. It is time we had
learned that this Government is mainly dependant on
and sustained by us; that all trades and professions are
dependant on our success for their bread; that posterity
has claims on ns which wc should not disregard. Let
us meet the State Agricultural Society, by delegates
from every county in the State — from county societies,
and there unite our eflbrts in devising the ways and
means for improving the agriculture of our own beloved
Georgia. Let us petition the Legislature in mass, as
one mau, to give us aid in the accomplishment of so
worthy an enterprise—an enterprise which aims to car
ry the lights of agricultural scienco to its remotest and
humblest votaries—and thus bless the country forever.

MR. CRAWFORD S PROTEST.
t the Georgia Journal of the 31*/ December, 1839.]
Mr. CRAWFORD,on behalf of himsolf and others, tire-
Fro
nted the following protest, which )teing signed by the
teBtants, was ordered to be entered on the Journals, and which
is a* follow*, to wit:
We, the undersigned, being a portion of the minority that
opposed the passage of the hill to extend the charter of the
Central Bank, &c., claim in the exercise of our ncknowlcdg
ed right to protest nguiuBt said bill, and hereby to declure
the grounds of such protest.
VVe hold thut the principle which asserts that the people
should rely on the Government for pecuniary relief, is radical
ly wrong. It is an inversion of all proper government.—
Above nil others, a Republic created by the people should
rest upon the people. Ah one obvious inference from this
proposition, we maintain that only the necessary supplies for
the Government ought to bo derived from the governed.—
Applying these admitted truths to the recently adopted nui
sance, it is apparent that they have been subverted and out
raged. Its practical operation, especially if curried to the
extent avowed and desired by its advocates, will, in a short
period, exhibit its unveiled folly and ruthless oppression.—
For it starts with the outragous proposition that publiccred-
it is to relieve popular wants, and will ond with the certain
necessity of universal and heavy taxation, in order to redeem
thut public credit.
We further bold that so long ns we have a mixed currency,
there must he some established standard of value. Among
all commercial and civilized nations, thia standard is
regulated by the precious metals. Without an adequate sup
ply of these, no sound curroncy can exist. Mere credit,
whether public or private—of u Stnto or an individual—can
not be regarded as a permanent and substantial basis nf a
sound currency : for tho obvious reason, it would he wanting
in the first and indispensable test; that of ensy and immedi
ate convertability.. In a word, mere credit cunnot supply’
capital. In opposition to these pluin truths, conffimed by all
experience, the bill iusl pussed assumes to make the credit of
the Stale the capital of the Central Bank,and thus under its
authority, and in the discretion of the directors, credit may
produce and re-produce credit to such unlimited extent as
must necessarily cause the hills of the Bank soon to circu
late ns depreciated money, and eventually be used only m
payment of public dues. To this prominent peculiarity of
the hill, was added another still more hideous. It is that
which declares to ho u part of the active cnnitnl of the Cen
tral Bank, an amount nearly of two hundred thousanddollurs
due tho Stale on ancient bonds, and other evidences of debc
that has been, for many years, suspended in their collection,
and from which, in ail probability, not one cent will ever bo
realized.
Tho undersigned were desirous of restraining the Director*
of the Bank from extending its issues on this portion of tho
worthlesscredit of the State, hut was overruled by the gen
eral reply that the discretion of the Directors would insure

We hold that the direction and management of the fiscal
affairs of tho Htute should be plainly ascertained and cui}.-
tiously guarded. Power, of whatsoever kind it may bo,ae<-
cording to (lie theory nnd practice of our Government, should
he restrained by abundant and appropriate checks. And!
above all,the power of money, which is usually surrounded
by so muny temptations, und often prostituted to mischievoutf
aiid wicked purposes, should bo controlled by certain ami
luw. Oil
Difcretion can never lie safely substituted for
matter*, discretion is nevei allowed when the law can meet
the exigency. When, therefore, the House gave the Direc
tors of the Central Bank discretionary power to mnke issues
upon that declared to he capital, but which, in part, was so
worthless as unworthy to be called crvdit.it either surren
dered its legitimate and constitutional authority over the sub
ject, or tacitly acquiesced in the propriety of the Director*
il they so willed,in banking emphatically on nothing.
A* a State should be careful of its credit, and not by undue
expansion expose herself to tho hazard and reproach of sus-
pension, we were anxious to place auch restrictions over the
Directors of the Central Bank, by which a result so disastrous
and disgraceful might he avoided. These, however, were re-
jectod.and now the State, at all hazards, is required to sup
ply every want, whether real or feigned.
NVe further hold that the same measure of justice whielt
tho State has established between her citizens, ought in no
wise to he modified between herselfantl her citizens. Indeed
exercising the attributes of sovereignty, and incapable of be
ing drawn, without her consent, into any form in which her
liability may be fixed and enforced, she ought to be liberal
and exemplary in Iter justice. Thus impressed, wc did urge
in behalfofthecreditnrs of the Stale, that she should be just be
fore she was generous; but (his maxim, universally accepted
aud applied in her judicial tribunals to transactions between
her citizens, was repudiated in her legislative assembly.
The past policy of the (State in investing her surplus funds
in lire IookI monied institutions, although departed from sine*
the incorporation of the Central Bank,lias n*ver been so far
changed oa to withdraw such investments so long as they were
lucrative. The average profit* of the Block owned by the
Bute in tbe local banks during the last ten yeara, have been
Bank Air the eame period have been less titan 5 per centum

profit and loan, we were desirous of keeping tha funds of the

ably employed; white! the inability, eager in Ihe pursuit of
tbe new •clieiue, required that they should be removed where
these reasons, we enter our solemn protest ogninst the

HARD MONEY party nf the Legislature, have determined
in their headlong nnd mail career to utterly disregard ihosi
principles upon which they wero elected representatives of
tin? people, whom they have deceived, and by their action of
last week upon the bill ubove alluded to have determined to
flood the country with an IRREDEEMABLE PAPER

to this dangerous exper
lilicnl associates, hasiiiHil> entitled tli
und applause. But enough! Weshullf
ubstance of the bill, that has called forth this aniclo, aiid
resume the subject on another occasion.
I he first section oflhe bill, ns it passed the Senate, author
and put in circulation any amount
~ coding double the amount of
oflhe act, by whicli
t bus
spe-
izes the D
oflhe notes of said Bank,
the capital stock-repeals that sect
the hank was chattered, that prohibits the putting
lion a larger amount of tho notes of the batik than the aggro
cate amount of its specie and hills of other hunks—and also
reneals that section which provides that the total amount of
lehts which said hank may owe at any time shall not exceed
the amount nl it* capital stock.
'I lie second seclinn authorizes the Directors to
e payment ofiia hillsloiUe agent of any buuktl:
pended specie payment.
The third section authorizes the Directors to sell the stock,
owned by the State, in the Bank of Angtirta, Planters’ Bank,
Bank of the Slate of Georgia, and tn the Darien Bank, and
the money for which the same mny hn sold shall become a
part of the capital stock oflhe Central Bank. In this section
a proviso is made to secure to the UNIVERSITY OF
GEORGIA that portion of the stock which has heretofore
been devoted to Us use, hut no portion of the stork i* retained
for ACADEMIC OR POOR SCHOOL PURPOSES. This
is DEMOCRACY !!
The fourth section provides for the appointment of Direc
tors in the bank whose stock cannot he sold. •
I lie fifth section takes the appointment of Directors from
the Governor, nnd gives it to tho Legislature, who arc to elect
them everv two years.
In the House of Representatives, the provisions of tho hill
are far more objectionable than those above specified. Amend
upon amendment was offered in the Semite, hut was vo
ted dow n at once, und discussion prevented by the .. ....
of that hodv calling for the previous i/neslion. Discussion

\V e have it not hi our power to give to our renders the bill
as it passed the St note, (t was ably battled against hy
Messrs. Bkanham, Miller, La who.s’, Alkxandf.r, and, in
fact by most of tho Senator* attached to the State Rights par
ty. On the Union side of the Scuttle, there were hut fe.w to
“stew tho torrent. 1 ” Mr. GoRDoa,of Chatham, distinguished
himself in his opposition tn the daring movement of, we regret
to say, his political associates, lint to no avail. A majority uf
(lie Senators, disregarding alike the experience of past events,
in relation to iho Central Bank, or the admonitions, counsels
and exhortulions of wisdom or of age, were determined upon
tho measure, nnd the hill passed. An effort was made to re
consider, but this also failed. 'I’he reconsideration wn*ably
advocated hy tho geutleman obnvenamed, together with Mr.
Williamson of Newton, Mr. Jones of Lee, and others. On
the Union side of the Senate, we are pleased to lx* able to
rank, with Mr. Gordon, Mr. Jordon of Jasper, and Mr. Gor
don, of Jones, as opposers of this measure.
In I lie House of Representatives, during several periods of
the di*tcuH*ion, we were present. It was to uh truly a source
of great gratification to witness tha exertions of the bravo aud

AN EXPOSTULATION*.
Y r e friends of moderation, who think a reformation,
Of moral renovation, would benefit the nation;
Who deem intoxication, with all its diminution,
In every rank and station, tlm cause of degradation,
Of which your ohsurvaiiou gives daily deuiuustraiioi
Wlio see tho ruination, distress ami destitution,
The open violation of inornlobligation,
The wretched liuhilatioo, without accoiuiiiod.ition,
Or any regulation,for(*0111111011 snstentation,
A scene of depiivatiou, unequalled ill creation;
Tlm frequent ile»ecratiun of (Sahhath ordinal on,
The crime and depredation,defying legislation,
The awful profanation of common conversation,
The menial alteration and dire iiifatiintion,
With every sad gradation, to maniac desperation;
Ye who with consternation behold tin*devastation,
Ami utter condemnation, on all iuehiiation,
Why sanction its duration,or show iii*iipprohntion
Of nny combination, for its extermination l
We deem a declaration, that oflera no temptation.
By any palliation of this abomination,
*1 lie only sure foundation,for it* extirpation ;
Amt under this persuasion, hold no communication,
With noxious emanation, of brewer’s fermentation,
Of poisonous preparation, or spirit distillation,
Nor liny vain libation, producing stimulation.
To this determination, we call consideration,
Ami without hesitation, invite co operation,
Not doubting imitation, will raise vour estimation,
And hy continuation, afford you consolation,
For in participation, with thi* association,
You may hy meditation insure the preservation,
! generation from ail contamination ;
cit indication of such regeneration,
nllation. till its final consummation.
