To the Printer of the Auguifa Chronicle.
S I R,
tmiverf.il propensity of the human
I mind, to feck after, and to be charmed
with every thing that has the appearance of
novelty, has been ftriftly verified of late in
Augusta, by the extreme avidity with which
all ranks of people have become enamoured
of dramatic entertainments—The great de
sire which is exprefled by alinoft every body
to “ go to the play,” and the constant buzzing
of the Theatre, which salutes our cars in every
quarter of this little town, reminds me of
the inquiries of the people of Sratclburg,
about the (franger with the nofe*—Have
you seen it, said one ? Have you heard Mil's
W*** sing, said another ?—Oh the charming
girl! lam so delighted with her, that I be
lieve I (hail lose all “ Patients'* said auoiher.
In (hort, Mr. Printer, the enthusiasm with
which all clafics of men in AugufU, leem
derermiued to defend and p r oteH the.r ova//,
ass »rds us rainy pleasing reflections fha: iu
the event of an invasion of o-jr dearc,i posse -
fionsy we fliallbe defended by such a patriot
band.
That pleasures and recreation of one kind
or other, are neieifaiy to the telief of the
wind and body from too coofiant attention
and fatigue, cannot he doubted, and that the
Theatre, undet proper regulation*, is a ra
ti unl and inftrnCtive amufemeut, wiil be as
readily admitted. It was invented, nodaubi,
for the enV'el lhrnent and tennemenf of hu
man natuie, and the advancement of morali
ty : It theicfore beb »ves thole who nave any
ir.fl cocein the regulation of ’he amuiements,
to diied them in luch away, as wonid check
every thing that tends to the cwiiupuoii of
manners.
In this view, I conceive it nereffiary that
the perforate!s in evert country, (and parti
culatly heie, whcic gen lemeu have taken uj>
the bnfmsfa of playei#) rtinuld hold out, « m i
indulge inch femuneote alone, ay are bed cal
culated to promote, in the audience, • love
of viitue, and a u| vice ( am'
aoihtug uud* to iiappiiy 10 iU»
rd, a§ firing upon proper objefts of ridicule.
Under these confiderauunn, I was extremely
firry to learn, that, at a late exhibition, the
mod improper of all characters were singled
nut as the ebjeft* of laughter and ridicule.
If this be the case, I am fuse it will give our
neighbour* an opportunity of proving, what
has been lo frequency aliened, that the prin
ciples of religion and morality are treated
with the utmolt indifference in this town ; and
they will necessarily conclude, 100, that the
bufinefa of religion ha 3 been peculiar A de
graded among us by exposing its profeffor»,
and that too by name, for the benefit and
amusement of people (who, whatever may
be their merits) we are obliged to view in
light of itinerant players.
The effect that such representations will
have upon the minds of the younger people,
who attend the Theatre, is eafilv conceived,
and if such sentiments as I have men
tioned, continue to be transfui'ed from the
stage to the audience, and encouraged by
them, they will make fuc h imprellions as will
do but little credit, either to our taste, or
our regard for the preservation of decency in
that religion of which we all protefs ourselves
members. '
