Temperance Meeting.
On the first Tuesday of this month, a meeting of
the friends of the Anti Retail movement, in Newton
county, was held at the Court House, in Covington.
Dr. I. L. Graves was called to the Chair, and E.
L. Thomas appointed Secretary.
A committee having been appointed to prepare
matter for the consideration of the meeting, they re
ported through their chnirman, Prof. W. J. Sasnett,
the following preamble and resolutions :
Whereas, it is our deliberate and solemn convic
tion that intemperance is of itself a great evil, aud
the cause of the largest amount of crime and demo
ralization prevalent in the land—that the retail li
quor shops are the grand nursuries of this growing
vice, and as nuisances, are the occasions, otherwise,
of many evils to society—and whereas, we believe
that the restrictions contemplated in the license sys
tem are inadequate to prevent the worst conse
quences of this traffic, to say nothing of lesser evils
inherently connected with it—and whereas, we fur
ther believe that the Legislature possesses the right
to abate nuisances and to pass any law not contrary
to the Constitution of the United States and of this
State, and consequently to enact a law for the sup
pression of retail in spiritous liquors in the various
counties, especially when by popular vote, these
counties indicate a preference for such law, we, citi
zens of the county of Newton, assembled in prima
ry capacity, Resolve,
1. That we, irrespective of all other party relation
ships, will organise on the basis of the above senti
ments, and with the view to secure an expression,
by popular vote, in favor of a legislative enactment
to suppress retail in ardent spirits in Newton county.
2. That all persons, citizens of Newton county,
who agree with us in the above views, shall be re
cognised as members of our organization, and arc
respectfully invited to act with us—it being under
stood that each and every one in ail other elections
is free to vote as Ins own judgment may dictate.
3. That in tlic next election for members of the
Legislature on tlic first Monday in October next, we
will write on our tickets the words “ no retail in
tending thereby to express our wish that the next
Legislature shall pass a law suppressing the retail
in ardent spirits in Newton county.
4. That should the words “no retail be written on
a majority of the votes, it shall be understood that a
majority of the legal voters of the county are in fa
vor of the passage of a law, by the next Legislature,
to suppress retail in ardent spirits, within its limits,
and that the next Legislature is petitioned so to do,
by a majority of the voters of the county.
5. That a committee of five be appointed by the
Chairman of this meeting to interrogate those who
may be announced as candidates for the Legislature
in the county, to ascertain clearly and definitely
whether or not, if elected, they will abide the deci
sion of the popular vote, if favorable to the abolition
of the retail traffic in the county, as contemplated in
the abot c preamble and resolutions—it being under
stood, that if there are more candidates than the
county is entitled to. as members, who respond fa
vorably to the action of this meeting, each individu
al shall be at liberty to make his own selections iu
accordance with bis own feelings and judgment.
G. That when this mee^ngshall adjourn, it will do
so subject to the call of the committee whose ap
pointment is contemplated in the foregoing resolu
tion.

For tlie Recorder.
To the Tax payers, Receivers, Comptroller
General and Executive, in relation to tlieir
respective duties, as required by the Tax
Laws of Georgia.
One of your bumble fellow-citizens having taken ;
some occasion to notice what he conceives to be the i
remissness on the part of Tax payers and Receivers
in a large portion of the counties in this State, in |
relation to a descriptive return of the landed prop- I
erty given in by a number of them, and believing
that a more faithful aud vigilant execution of the
requirements of the law in this particular would, in
the end, not only result to tlie good of many private
individuals, but also to the public interest as well
as to the benefit of the State, beg leave very respect
fully to make the following suggestions:
1st. I lay down the proposition, that it is tlie du
ty of each and every Tax payer, to make out a list
ot all the taxable property which he gives in to the
Receiver, (describing each species of property) as
the law requires.
2d. That in ease he fails or refuses so to do, that
then it becomes the duty of the Receiver of each
County, to refuse to receive the return or list so de
fectively offered, and require said Tax payer to rec
tify his return or list, and in default thereof, to re
turn him as a defaulter to the Clerk of the Inferior I
Court, and report his refusal.
3d. That in case the Receiver of the Tax Returns !
receives from the Tax payers, or any number of '
thpm, lists of their taxable property not described j
as the law directs, and then and there make entries (
of such defective list in their digest, and so return j
the same to tlie department, that then it becomes
the duty of the Comproller General to report the |
same and the errors therein committed to the Exe- •
cutive, when the Executive should require said de- j
faulting Tax Receiver to have said errors corrected, j
aud on his failure so to do, to refill tlie reception of
his digest and withhold his compensation.
In order to arrive at a proper conclusion as to the
respective duties of each one of the characters allu
ded to, let us examine the law as laid down in the
books, as land marks for the plain direction of
those whose duty it is to be directed thereby.
1st. We find the following to be a part of a sec
tion and part of a statute passed by the Legislature
of Georgia in tlie year 1804. Vol. II, 22G.
“All and every person liable to pat' tax shall give
in a list of Ills, her, or their taxable property, as well
as a list of every person or persons, as lie, she, or
they may be attorney or attorneys, executor or ex
ecutors, administrator or administrators for, in the
County or Counties wherein such person, agent or
attorney, executor, or administrator may reside,
describing as near as possible, from plats, deeds, or
other documents, the particular situation of such
land, in wliat County, what particular water Course
oil, and what land it adjoins, for whom surveyed,
and to whom granted; and the Receiver of such
returns shall make a general digest, and return the
whole of tlie taxable property, received as afore
said.”—Prince's Digest, Sec. IV, 843, 844.
Here we will notice and at the same time bear in
mind, that at the time said statute was passed, the
citizens of Georgia had not taken possession and
laid off the lands in the State further West than to
the Oconee river, and that the lands intervening
between the Savannah and Oconee rivers, were ta
ken up by bounties, bead rights, surveys, &c., and
not laid off into lots or tracts, each lot containing a
certain number of acres, and describing it by num
bers, districts, &c., as the land west of the Oconee
liver has been since that time. Consequently the
only mode or way of describing land in the State at
that time, was by meets and bounds, grants and
deeds, to whom surveyed, Ac. And so we find the
wording of the statute to be, and ask if language
could, in more plain and explicit terms, express the
means by which landed property could be describ
ed, (laid off as was the land at that time) than this
statute has done. Further, we find on examina
tion, that the statute here alluded to, after going on
to point out to the tax payer the means, and the ve
ry descriptive words by which he is to describe liis
landed property at that time ; we find at the con
clusion of the descriptive terms, a direction to tlie
Receiver which is as, follows, to wit: “ And the Re
ceiver of such returns shall make a general digest,”
Ac., plainly showing and directly convincing that
before the Receiver should receive the returns of
the tax payer, they should be such in the description
of the property as the statute requires. And for
what purpose and reason, we would now ask, can
we give for the Legislature in thus requiring such
a plain description of the landed property given in
by the tax payers ? YVe will purpose to answer tliis
inquiry by saying, that every acre of land in the
State, -the title of which has passed out, (whether
owned by citizens in the State, or out of it) is taxa
ble property, and should be taxed in order that it
might pay its pro rata part of the revenue for the
support of tlie Government. And every person,
whether a citizen of Georgia, or any other State, or
country, who owns land in Georgia, the taxes on
which is not assessed and paid into the treasury of
this State, as the law directs, commits annually a
fraud upon the State as well as upon the rights of
the other citizens who own land herein, and comes
up and gives in such lands under tlie requirements
of the law, and pays its taxes accordingly. Then,
how is this thing to be remedied ? We answer, by
the Tax Receivers requiring the payers to describe
properly and accurately the land which each and
every tax payer gives in. After which, it then be
comes the duty of the Receivers to ascertain whether
ail} - lands lie in tlieir respective counties owned by
persons out of tlie State, which lias not been given
in by some agent or attorney in' the county where
such lands arc situated, and to charge such lands
for its taxes, and proceed to sell jt for tfic same, as
the statute directs, as will be found, [Prince's Di
gest, sec. X, 846] when it will be purchased and
fall into the bauds of some one who will give it in
and pay its taxes. And by this process we could in
a short time, ascertain nearly all the owners of our
ereat quantity of vacant lots of land in the State,
and soon have the taxes of nearly all the land in the
State paid. No man or land owner can find any
difficulty worth a notice, in properly and accurately
describing any land winch he may own in any of the i
purchases on the west side of the Oconee river, as
he has nothing to do but to give the county, dis- j
trict, and number, and it is correctly described aud
located.
Again, wc find in the acts of the Legislature of
1851,1352, sec. II, 293, tlie following law:
“ And be it further enacted, That the Receiver of
Tax Returns shall require all persons to give in each
and ever}’ tract or parcel of land he or she may own,
specifying its location, quality, and the number of
acres,” Ac.
Here the statute expressly declares that the
Receiver shall require all persons to give in
each and every tract or parcel of land, specifying
its location, quality, Ac., making it the sworn duty
of the Receiver to require it of the tax-paver. And
here let me ask, how is land to be specified only by
its meets and bounds, grants and deeds, Ac., where
it lias no district aud number; and by tlie number,
district and county, where it lies in districts and is
numbered ? Hence, I think, I have shown and prov
en conclusively, beyond doubt or refutation, that
it is not only the duty of the tax payer to correctly
and properly describe tlie land that he gives in, but
that it is the sworn duty of the Receiver to require
him to do so. And if he refuses or fails so to do,!
then, of course, he should not receive his return. ,
The Receiver has sworn to perform his duty, truly j
and faithfully, as the law requires. Now, all that j
he should know, or want to know, in relation to his i
duty, is just exactly what the law does require, and .
then proceed to do it and have it done, and he will <
have the ^conciliating principle to console him.
“ that I have done my duty as a faithful public scr-1
vant should do.”
Thus much said and adduced, and I think I hat e
fully sustained the first and second propositions.
Then to the third proposition. And I have only
this to say: that the law makes Tax Receivers and
Collectors responsible to the Executive Department
and amenable to such rules in conducting the du
ties of their respective offices as the Executive may
think necessary and proper for that purpose.—Prin
ce’s Digest, sec. V, 844.
Now, when the Receiver makes liis digest, and re
turns one to the Comptroller General, I respectfully
say, it then becomes the duty of the Comptroller
General to carefully examine that digest and the re
turns of the different tax payers therein made; and
if he finds them incorrect and illegal, or any of the
respective entries therein, irregular and wanting in
a description of the property therein contained, or
in any other particular, then he should note the er
ror, and report the same to the Executive; when, of
course, if the error be a plain and palpable violation
of the requirements of the law, he should have said
error corrected, or refuse the digest and withhold the
compensation. VIENNA.

Voice 2d—Qualifications for Office^
I intimated last week that the public mind is now
more than ever disposed to canvass the moral char
acter of political candidates. To mere politicians,
it may be ungrateful to contemplate the progressive
change of public sentiment on this subject. But
there are unmistakeablc signs, which “ a wayfarin
man though a fool,” “ may run and read,” and
which some, from the way they’ll fare, will doubtless
read in bitter disappointment, if they do run as can
didates. It has not been a long time, since politi
cians canvassed the availability of party aspirants
more by their grog-shop popularity and their coutrol
of the whiskey-floating vote than by any other con
sideration. But now the sagacious leaders of par
ties see that the moral sense of society, especially as
it is embodied in the great moral movements of tlie
present day, must be consulted and respected. So
ciety, is deeply affected, yea, alarmed at the gener
al increase of immorality. Parents tremble for
their offspring and almost dread to hear that a child
is bom unto them, as with anxious forebodings, they
anticipate what may be tlieir history and their
end, under the fearful prevalence of vice, fostered
and honored. Mothers tremble lest the bridal hopes
of their daughters may be seared and blasted by the
curse of a drunkard’s home. Parents are seckin
to shield their children from evil associations by pro
viding private tuition and select schools thus embar
rassing our systems of general and popular instrac
tion. And I here appeal to the voters of Georgia
You will not entrust the education and marital hap
piness of your children, your business, aud your
health to the unprincipled and besotted. These
are interests too sacred and dear to be exposed to
such risks—is then the welfare and honor of your
country less sacred, that you should commit them
to the guardianship of men who infest the doggeries
and gambling dens, herd with drunkards, “ hail fel
lows well metencourage vice; corrupt the young:
prostitute the public morals, and glory in tlieir
sliame ? Is tills patriotism ? I noticed, by a com
munication in the Federal Union of May 3d, that
“An Observer” is very “fearful of seeing too many
religious fanatics placed at tlic head of our govern
ment,” and ascribes to religion the fall of Rome,
the imigration of our forefathers, and the mission of
Paul to Damascus. He must review historic anti
quities. For it is a fact of even school-boy lore, that
it was tlic extension of empire—fillibustering an
nexations or ancient progressive democracy, which
caused the downfall of Rome and buried her politi
cal fabric in ruins. Her curse was not religion but
the leant of it.
Does “An Observer” deprecate the religion which
inspired our pilgrim fathers with that love of liber
ty for which they sacrificed tlieir honor, their coun
try, aud braved the perils of the ocean and the wil
derness to people tliis land with a nation of freemen ?
It was religion, persecuted, but pure in its suffer
ings, downtrodden, but proudly asserting the rights
of man, in the freedom of conscience and the choice
of faith, which expatriated them. Shall we repudiate
that religion which thus incarnated its moral hero
ism—its noblest elements iu men, to whose Chris
tian devotion we are indebted for our country, our
freedom, and our fame ?
It is puerile presumption for blur-eyed observers
to sit iu judgment upon a religion, venerable for
its antiquity, which has breasted the storms of cen
turies, witnessed the rise and falls of empires, stood
at tlieir cradles and their tombs, and still survives—
our heritage and our hope—a religion which has
stamped the impress of its genius upon the laws and
institutions of alt enlightened nations, and without
whose tremendous motives, legislation would be
powerless and society defineless.
But while I would render to pure religion tile ho
mage due, still I do not insist that our candidates
shall be religious, according to church orthodoxy,
and profession, (though to this none could object)
but I do insist that they should be moral men, who
respect the moral sense of society, not in demagogue
cant profession, but in life and example, and worthy
of imitation by the youth of our country - For cer
tainly the preferences of the virtuous and sober, as
much deserve respect as those of the grogshop aris
tocracy, to whom candidates pander and cringe in
mean survility, or from “ a fellow-feeling which

For the Recorder.
Cassville, Ga., 15tli June, 1853.
Permit me to suggest that the Hon. A. H. Ste
phens be nominated by the approaching Whig Con"
vention for Governor. His pre-eminent talents and
long public services would secure for him a zealous
and enthusiastic support which no other man in
Georgia can command.
Could not the Hon. Chas. J. Jenkins be prevail
ed upon in that event to permit his friends in liis
district to elect him to a seat in Congress, where his
already national reputation for great abilty and
worth of character would have q more ample field
for useful exercise, and thus confer honor on his
District and his native State.

in France are good.

Another Brutal Murder in New York.—
Much excitement has been created in New York by
the discovery of the body of a young woman named
Mary' Ann McElroy, iu one of the docks at Will
iamsburg. She had evidently been violated aud
then murdered. She was an inmate in the family
of C. H. Clayton, Esq., who offers a reward of
$500 for information touching this homable affair j
and the City Councils, $1,000 more.
Mr. Stephess.—This gentleman has so far recov
ered from the effects of tlie late accident, as to think
of leaving home in a day or two. He suffers some
from the bruises on his shoulder and broken arm,
but not sufficiently to prevent him enjoying the
conversation of his friends or the flavor of a se»ar.
As usual, he takes much interest in politics and lias
the assurance offaith, that though the “Coon killer”
is sbroad and a “spiritual rapper” is knocking at the
door of the Executive Mansion, the people will not
let him in !—Macon Citizen.
A Good One.—In the Connecticut Leg
islature recently, a joint select committee
was ordered to be raised on tlie subject of
the preservation of trout, and the Lieuten
ant Governor appointed as chairman the
lion. Mr. Fish.
Ex-Governor Vroom, of New Jersey, has
accepted the Post of Envoy to Prussia, and
has so informed President Pierce, as we
learn from the Trenton Gazette.
The editor of the New York Journal of
Commerce says that on Thursday, he con
versed with a Southern planter from the
Northern part of Georgia, who has come on
to engage men to work on his plantation.
“He has commenced harvesting, and re
quires additional help; hut the enhanced
value of slaves since the Abolition agita
tion places it beyond his ability to purchase
a larger supply, and w hite labor can be em
ployed more economically than that of hir
ed slaves.
