[imuiusiilp |IY REQUEST.]
From the Christian Index,
To Abolish Iho Itc*uiliii(f of Spiri
tuous Liquors.
To Ol'H FFLLOW CITIZENS OF GEORGIA.—TItC
I untinwigned were appointed n committee nt a
meeting ofa respectable number of the people
of Pulliam county to address you upon the
subject of the evils which afflict our whole
community, originating from the practice of
retailing intoxicating liquors in our State, We
know that in coming forward to address you,
we stand exposed to all the prejudices, which
usually assail attempts nt the reformation of
great and prominent evils. The advocates anil
the victims, alike rally to their perpetuation,
and proscription places ils hand upon all who
dare to raise, or assemble around the new
I standard. The imagination is set most ae
j lively to work, to hunt up spectres to alarm
i the inconsiderate and to bias and influence
their judgements. The ever active vigilence
of Liberty and Freedom is aroused, least some
| great constitutional tight shall be invaded,
j The “Union of Church and Stale,” the right
i of the poor to do as they please, their subjec
j lion to the dominion of ilia rich, some trick of
! a political party, u sectarian measure, and ma
ny such other cant phrases, are the notable
arguments which are ever and anon, opposed
to the march of reformation. But, fellow cit
''i/.ens, we feel that you have too long known
! the crying evils, to which the retail oi mtoxica
i ting drinks has given birth, to listen for a mo
ment to such aspersions upon motives. We
; represent upon this occasion, a constituency
! composed of the Christian and the sinner, the
Methodist, //aptisst & Presbyterian, the Union
and the State Bights man, the Lawyer and the
politician, the. Doctor and the Divine, the rich,
j the poor, and those of competency, the tempe
; rale, the retailer and the purchaser, the farmer
and the merchant ; ail these compose that por
tion of our fellow citizens, who lately aasemb
| led ut Katonton, and prepared utui signed a
memorial to the next Legislature of our State,
to prohibit the trafle by retailing ardent spirits, j
and appointed us t heir committee, to invite you :
to co-operate with them, in the great and the ,
[ good work. We approach the task with un
feigned pleasure, fortified by the conviction of
! our rectitude, and the unanimity of those in
the midst of whom we reside, wo can hut be
lieve that tho same moral sense, which has a
wukened here the energies of this great reform,
will not slumber in the bosom of other com
munities as respectable for their virtue, intel
ligence, and moral worth. On Sunday the 34th
tlay of February a portion of the citizens of j
Katonton assembled at the ohurch; for the pur- I
pose of considering upon the subject, und out j
of n congregation of about 120 persons, 10H ‘
signed tho memorial. Another meeting in a- j
nother part of our county has been held, and
with corresponding success and equal unani
mity. Upon a subject so vitally interesting to
all,conic) there bo otherwise than unanimity?
We invite, you fellow-citizens, individually, to
look to the neighorhood of a retail grocery, to
the condition of those who frequent it and sat
i isfy yourselves, whether the retail there cat*
ried on, has produced ipost good or harm. If
; the quantity of harm prevails over the good, i
| ought not the evil to be suppressed, ana will I
I you not lend us your aid in its suppression ? I
Look to your courts of Justice, and see how
many of the affrays and riots, which engage
the time of the country, happened in, or at a >
grog shop. Look to the many murders and
manslaughters which arc almost every where
to he met with, and see how many arise from
fends engendered while the parlies were at the
grocery > Against the influences of these rc-
I tail shops, the law frowns with indignation,
! The keeping of a tipling house for iheeqcour
! agement of drinking, is an offence against our
laws, and punishable with loss of liberty or
; property, and yet these same laws license the
community to retail the intoxicating spirits
which are there drunk. Drunkenness is made
no excuse for crime, and yet we make it law
ful to retail the intoxicating draught, which
turns reason from her throne and while in that
overthow crime is perpetrated. Could wcask
I a stronger argument for our cause than that
which your own laws furnish ? Look around
you fellow citizens and see how many objects
of charily have, been made so, by freqUeting
these retailing shops. How many w idows and
orphans, pcnnylcss, and helpless, whose hus
bands and father?, were the too frequent vjsi
| tors of them. Look at these tilings, and answer
candidly to yourselves, whether the evil ought
not to be exterminated. Massachusetts and
oilier States at the Nortli and East, have adop
ted a similar course. Our sister and adjoining
; State Tennessee has acted likewise. Other
j Southern States arc now pioveing in the mat
ter. The ball is rolling onward, and gaining
at every turn, and though we cannot claim the
high gratification of having first put it into mo
tion, let us fellow citizens, participate in the
pleasure as well as the honor of having added
toils revolutions and ils magnitude.

Tiie following is the form ofa Petiliop which
lias already’ been signed by near 300 persons
in Putnam, and no subject can present more
ttnanmily.
State of Georgia: To the Senate apd House
of Representatives of this State for 1839. The
undersigned citizens of tiiis /state believing
that the retail of spiritous liquors, is an evil of
great magnitude among us, come into the Le
gislature by Petition arid ask you in your wis
dom to pass such a law as will effectually put
a stop to it. We do not here attempt to name
the misehief that has been done in the State
by quartering upon our towns, cities, villages
and highways, retail shops. They are so man
ifold as not to have escaped the painful notice
of every member of your Honorable body.
Your Petitioners come with the more confi
dence because several Slates in this Union j
have already passed such a law as to make
penal the retailing of intoxicating drinks.
Surely a trafic which is full of evil, and only
evil, should be banished by law, if it cannot be
done otherwise. Let it be done, and your pe
titioners as in duty bound will ever pray, &c.
The Committee askt at some dozen of active
citizens pC each county, will present it to the
citizens pf their counties, (both male and fe
male.) for signatures. Wc ask especially that
the Clergy would get some active man to pre
sent it in every religious meeting, that the same
be carefully kept until the session of the next
Legislature, when it shall be presented by the
members from the several coemtic they rep
! resent

ers agreed to give her a very beautiful female
infant, about two months ofd, bpj|)o no oilier
than tho child of Eliza Jones. And in order
tq have security that the child should be prop
erly t nutted, and wei: brought up, the commis
sioners made Mrs. Sayre enter into a deed of
indenture, by jyJjfotljslje bound herself to treat
tile child as an appmuipc, apd provide it with
suitable maintenance, until it arrived at
the age ofonc-and-twcnty, and the commission
ers on their part, bound the infant of two
months old to servitude for nearly a quarter of
a century.
In the meanwhile the mother of the Infant,
having lost iter character, could obtain no res
pectable situation, und was obliged to earn her
living by officiating as servant in a brothel,
whjch was also the residence of Catharine
Sayre.
And to this house she h.-ofiglf) her adoptet)
child, and unknowingly employed jts own
mother to take cure of it. Eliza Jones recog
nized iier offspring, and kept the secret to her
self; but bestowed such cure upon it that the
iijfaqt throve accordingly, and in a few months
was one of the finest grid prptijest phijdfm in
the city, und the woman who adopted it seem
ed as fond of it as if it had been iter own.
When the child was nearly seven months old,
Mrs, Sayre discovered the rclaljiffittiip wfijclj
Eliza Jones bore to it, and with a refiuefiteqt pf
cruelly, determined to seperatc the child front
its mother, and sent it elsewhere to be nursed.
Tlie mother refused to part with it, and Mrs.
Sayre had tlie child furtivcily removed, and
placed wjtb a colored U'onjf|[) jfi phurch street.
The mother, however, discovered where it was,
and went tfiere on Wednesday and attempted
to take it away, but did not succeed, anti re
ceived a severe threshing from Mrs, Sayre
for making tlie attempt. Eliza Jones then
summoned Mrs. Nay re and the colored woman
to t)ie police ofii.ee, wlieffi they appeared yes
terday morning, and bypught the child with
them. .
When the magistrate heard the story of ish
za Jones, which Mrs. Sayre did not attempt
to contradict he asked Mrs. Sayre why she
had separated the child from its mother, and
Mrs. Sayre replied, that site sent the child
away as it would very soon be able to under
stand sounds, and sin: feared that some of tho
profligate expressions so continually used in
the house might make an evil impression on
the infant’s mind. The magistrate then inqui
red farther, and it was evident from the wo
man’s own confession that she wqs a common
prostitute, he informed her that she iifust gtye
up the child to its mother.—But Mrs. *>ayrc
refused point blati/r to do any such thing, fithe
insisted that she hud a rigid to the child, and
showed iier indenture. The magistrate tojd
her that the indenture was void, and comman
ded the colored woman, who had the infant m
her arms, to deliver it instanter to its mother.
The woman was about to comply, when Mrs.
Sayre, in a determined tone of voice, in
sisted that if the child was tako.n from her, the ;
rich cloths it wore should be returned to her, j

and swore that if they were not she would tear
them from its body.
The woiqaii, huwovpr, proceeded to ham)
the child to its mother, nndut the. same instant,
Mrs. Sayre, wilh the fqry almost of a fiend,
sprang forward, seized the child by tfie neck,
and compressed her hands round it with sq
deadly a grasp that tho child immediately be

ties were standing close to the n/agtstrate’s

seized the upper part of Mrs. Sayre’s arm, and
hauled away so effectually, )hat he actually
tore atyay the arm other gown and loft her
arm from tlie shoulder to the wrist naked. This
caused her to lot sen her hold of the child, and
one or two of tho bystanders immediately sei
zed hold of her and forced her away. Tho
child wag then res)orcd to its mother, who car
ried it off with an air of the most obvious de
light and triumph. The scene then ftlosed, by
the magistrate pomnqiUing the splendidly dres

and charged her with having committed twq
assaults and ha)lefies. — Journal if Commerce.
