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. | Your fellow citizens, MYLES GREENE, j JOHN E.

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.

When the child was about two niouUis old, a fashionably dressed lady, who gave Iyer nufife as Mrs. Catharine Sayre, applied to tlie commissiners to obtain it femalp infant, in order that she iqigltf adopt it as her own, as she had no children. The commission 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 VO|x, 1, NO, 14, 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 came black in the face, md was evidently be ing choked. Fortunately, however, the par ties were standing close to the n/agtstrate’s desk, mu) Justice. Hopson instantly started up, 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.
