to lay the sins of the Temperance Society ? And yet, tliia is what the Court have done ; and then assign the reason given, in justifica tion of their act. This may do for a man with “ half an eye,” but won’t pass muster with the people, who have both eyes open upon this order, which makes a eleun sweep of them all, out of the Court room. It is not my purpose to make the actings and do ings of the Temperance Society, a matter of°dispute, in this issue between “ One of -the People” and the Court. But inasmuch as “ One of the Court” has made the above statement of their acts; it is but a matter of justice to the Temperance Society, that the whole history of the relations existing be tween these parties should come out fairly before the public. Some time last fall, a ■Committee of the Temperance Society was appointed to wait on the Court, and request the use of the Court room for their meet ings. A majority of the Court very pro perly, I think, yielded to this request. The Society has met there regularly ever since, once a month. And during the sojourn of Mr. Taylor (who is a reformed drunkard end aTemperance Lecturer) amongst us, the Society met every night or day forone week. At these meetings the doors and windows were opened, as far as was necessary for the comfort of the ladies and gentlemen, who were assembled. The President sat upon the Judge’s seat, and the Secretary at the Clerk’s desk, and the meetings were opened with prayer —an address, or ad dresses delivered on the subject of Tem perance—the people invited to join the So ciety, and other little Society matter attend -cd to, and then, after remaining from one to two hours, the men and the women quietly withdrew to their respective homes; the Secretary blew out the candles, and depo : sited them, together with the candlesticks, under the Clerk’s table—the candles in a box which he had provided for the purpose, or was put there by someone else; and the sticks either in the box or on the floor (which is covered with saw dust,) I do not know which ; closed the blinds and windows, lock *ed the door and gave the key to the officer from whom he received it. That is a fair showing of the regular operations of the Society, and I ask any candid man, if such meetings as these might not be held until 4,w0 generations shall have gone bye, and no damage done to the public property. But at the last meeting of the Society some of •the blinds, and perhaps windows were left •unclosed—simply, because the regular Se cretary was absent, and his place was filled by a Secretary pro tern, who was not ap prised of the regular Secretary’s mode of •closing the room. This meeting took place ■on the first Wednesday night in June—and ■on the next Sunday afternoon, a storm came ■on which blew the blinds about, broke some panes of glass, and shattered a part of the upper pannel of one of the blinds. The bench (not benches) which the Sheriff mend ed for the people to sit upon, was broken at u previous meeting of the Society, when Mr. Taylor was lecturing. There was a large audience, and the seats were crowded. As the persons sitting on one of the seat3 were leaning back, in the ordinary position of sitting, the back gave way; and it was •the nailing up again this back, to the upright ’piece of the bench which the Sheriff did. ■Certainly the Temperance Society are not to blame, because the benches weie not nailed tight enough to hold together, when used as they were intended. As to the grease and candles, which were scattered in such ■dirty confusion upon the Clerk’s desk, why really if it were so, (and I am not able to say yea or nay,) it evidently was an over sight, and altogether unintentional, and the damage done, is not worth the ink and time taken to write it down and have it printed. But there was some damage done to the windows and blinds. Whose fault was that? Ido not think it was the fault of the Tem perance Society. Because the Court have given the Sheriff a room, free of rent, which is worth SIOO per annum, in the Court house, in consideration of his taking care of the Court house, so far as to see to the closing of the blinds, windows and doors of the same. Well, these blinds were unclosed, from Wednesday night until Sunday evening. He had plenty of time to close them, and if lie had, (as I have understood from “ One of the Court” himself it is his business to at tent to these matters,) then, the windows and blinds would have been unhurt. But, jierhaps the Sheriff did not consider it his duty to close the blinds, after a meeting of the Temperance Society, or any public meeting of the people, except the meetings of the Court. If he did not, then he per forms a very limited duty for the value of the room rent, and the Court are hiring out a room in the people’s house, for private purposes, for a very small consideration, whilst they shut the people out of their own building, when they desire its use for public purposes, and won’t let them in, for any consideration. But let the other construc tion be put upon the question of duty; and let it be admitted, for the argument’s sake, that the Temperance Society should have closed the windows and did not —would it not have been, at least, courteous to the So ciety, as they had respectfully waited on the Court, by their Committee, and had request ed the use of the Court room, and the Court bad granted it, to have notified the Society of the damage which had been done, and required them to have repaired it; and in case of refusal, to have informed them that their meetings would no longer be permit ted therein ? I ask, would not this have been as little as could have been expected, under the circumstances ? Instead of this, at the first meeting of the Court afterwards, they not only made a clean sweep of the Tem perance Society, ladies and all, but they brushed the people out with it! But “ One of the ’Court” says, “ the Court will take care of the public buildings, with out being dictated to by a clique in Madi son.” That “ the citizens of the seve ral districts of Morgan County have sacrod rights; they have been heavily taxed to erect this building, about which so much fuss has been made.” I concur most heartily in these declarations. Unquestionably the Court ought to yield to the dictation of no clique. This thing called dictation will not, and ought not, to be submitted to in this land, whoever may be the dictator, or dictators. dictation should be resisted, come from what quarter it may, whether from men in office, or men out of office —from a clique in Madison, or from a power behind the throne which is stronger than the throne itself Doubtlees the citizens of the districts, who have been heavily taxed to erect this build ing, have sacred rights—at least “One of tho People” thinks so, and it is to vindicate these tights against the action of the Court, to as sert and contend for them, that he has lifted the note of warning to the “people of the dis tricts.” Their “sacred rights” are’invadedby the action of theCourt.andif a “cliquein Ma dison” should tchispcr in the car of the Court, hold on to your order —l trust they will re sist tho dictation and remember that the people of the districts have sacred rights, and that one of these is the right peaceably to assemble in their own house for public purposes. But “the Court lay down these truths ns incontrovertible : Ist, that the public build ings belong to the people, the whole people, and not a fraction.” This is exactly my view. And because, the court house is a public building which belongs to the people; therefore, the people have a right to its use for public meetings. This is as legitimate a consequence as that two and two make four. 2d, “that the Justices of the Inferior Court arc the legal agents of the people, for the time they are elected, to discharge such acts as the law requires.” I sanction this. They are agents, and only agents —and their agency only extends to the doings of legiti mate acts. They are not agents to do an act which strikes down the rights of their principal, the people. The order does this thing; therefore, in the passage of it, they transcended their agency. “Amougst these is, to take care of the public buildings.” This is granted for the sake of tho argu ment. But the duty to tahe care of the pub lic buildings, is not a power to prohibit their use. They are widely different. And yet, this porccr to prohibit their use is the very thing the Court assert in their order. I furnish an illustration of the ground taken by the Court. A man builds a house and employs another to take care of it, at such .times as he is not in its occupancy. He takes a journey, and returns to his building; but 10, when he seeks to enter, his agent says, you shall not do it, sir; I am your agent to take care of your house, arid I can’t let you iu! This is precisely the condition of the people and the Court. The people have built their court house. They have appoint ed the Court, their agents, to take care of it; and when the people, the owners, desire to enter their building, the Court have said, by their or der, you shall not do it; you have appointed us to take care of it, and we can’t let you in. This is the Court’s position, and the “incontrovertible truths” laid down, by them, establish it beyond all controversy. There are certain consequences resulting from the position of the Court, which I will barely state, without entering into an argu ment of length to establish them. If the Court, from a consideration of their duty to take care of the public buildings, deduce the power to prohibit the use of the court house, so far as public meetings, except for Court purposes, are concerned, and this be a legit imate deduction, then, it will follow, Ist, that they may prohibit the use of the court room, during Court, to any persons, except such as have business in Court. Or, 2dly, if they permit them to enter, they may de termine what kind of clothing they shall wear—for possibly some man’s shoes might be so heavily tacked as to damage the smooth surface of the floor, and it is the Court’s duty to take care of the public buildings. 3dly, they may actually prohibit the use of the room for Court purposes. This they have partially done by closing it upon the Justices of the Peace. But the same power which turned the people out, may turn out the Superior Court—and indeed, they may turn themselves out; for there is no law which says that the Superior and Inferior Courts shall be held in the court house-; and as it is the duty of the Court to take care of the public buildings—and as the use of the court house for Court purposes, tends ne cessarily to the wear and tear of the same, therefore (by their reasonings) they may bar the doors on the Courts. Certainly the court house would be taken care of then. A beautiful structure—a habitation for the mice—the spiders—and the crickets. This number will close the argument so far as “One of the People”*is concerned, uuless “One of the Court” should employ improper matter in his replv. ONE OF THE PEOPLE. Dost thou well to be angry ? A clergyman stopped at the house of a friend on a Satur day evening, in the village where he was next day to preach. The friend was a dis tiller and vender of ardent spirits, and was exceedingly bitter against the Temperanco cause. He could not refrain, all the even ing, from giving vent to his feelings against all the Temperance men, and every Tem peranco movement. The next day the preacher took his text from John : “ Dost thou well to be angry ?” He showed what good was doing in the days in which we live, and especially in the Temperance cause; how that cause was drying up tho founts of pauperism, and crime, and brutali ty ; saving thousands and thousands from the drunkard’s path, and restoring many a lost man to society and his family, and re moving the greatest obstruction to the re ception and spread of tho gospel. And as he enumerated one blessing after another, he would cast his eye down upon his friend, und ask, “ Dost thou well to bo angry V It was more than the poor distiller could bear; shame and confusion were his. He hid his face from all tho congregation, who were looking at him, and as soon os possible made his way home from church, and is said nev er aftet to have talked against the Tempe ranco cause. Cross IVivcs and the Pledge. —A member of the Washington Society, who only sign ed last Sunday week, says he used to think his wife one of the crassest women alive; but some how or other she hadn’t been cross since he signed tiie Pledge. When he goes home she smiles, and when he goes out she smiles ; and every thing is now peace and harmony. These kind of facts tell a big story for the Pledge. —Organs s©m wmm rh sans il jl ©©untfeßaom FUIILISIIED EVERY SATURDAY MORNING AT TIIE VERY LOW I'RICE OP TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS TER ANNUM ONE DOL LAR AND FIFTY CENTS FOR SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE. MADISON, GEO! Saturday, June 35, 1849. (t'r’Our readers will please excuse the lack of variety in this day’s paper. The dis cussion which has occupied a large portion of our sheet for the three past weeks will, in all probability, shortly close, when we promise our distant friends, at least, a more interesting and agreeable paper. Several editoi ial articles, as well as a reply to “Jacob Wishful,” who figurod in our last, are crowd ed out of this number. “FAMILY COMPANION.” We have long been of opinion, that tire newspapers of this countiy, have either, never assumed the duties of pioneers in the crusade against public vice and corruption, or that their original stock of zeal has shame fully decreased. The general tone of their editorials is deprecatory and laudatory in the extreme —even in cases where reproof and indignant censure are called for we have only cautious reserve, or at most a non committal statement of facts. A whole community may be outraged— but its organ is silent. Report perhaps con veys it to some distant journal where it is noticed as a ’mere rumor unauthorized by the brother editor under whose observation the disgraceful circumstance occurred.— Shame on such cowardice! assume a higher tone, and wave “Truth’s banner in the open air.” * * * * • * “ This nurse of arts, and freedom’s fence To chain, is treason against sense; And liberty, thy thousand tongues None silence, who design no wrongs.” As with events belonging to the follies, passions, and vices of the world, so with the literary. Start anew paper or periodi cal, find these discriminating judges com mence a system of puffing from Dan to Ber shelm, without a word which would seem to imply an impartial examination of the contents, or any distinction between the good, bad, or indifferent, that might insure a righteous decision in rendering unto “ Caesar the things that arc Caesar's.” It is all whole sale laudation, given with a most self-satis fied air of complacency; the natural result of interchanging with each other such Tittle bat Titmouse literary ovations. Now, wo mean hereafter to treat our rea ders with greater respect; and as they are more or less capable of judging for them selves, we not endeavor lo forestal their opinions by assuming the dictum of Anaxa goras that snow is black, but strive for just and impartial decisions on all subjects which may come willtiu the limits of our hebdoma dal. In this manner we hope to make our sentiments useful and acceptable to our readers, to whom, after all, we arc alone responsible. We shall also devote more than ordinary attention to the periodicals of the day, par ticularly those of Southern growth. We acknowledge our disposition to look with favor and affection upon the “ Family Companion,” which will soon be the only magazine of Georgian parentage. The “Magnolia” wo understand is to be remov ed to Charleston, and the “Orion” printed in New York. It is therefore our sincere hope that the people of this State will foster and encourage this indiginous plant which yields to no exotic either in worth or beauty. Tho Juno number evinces both resolution and power to sustain the spirit with which the work was commenced. The first article, “Florita,” we observe to be partly translated from the French, and its merit is such as to render it a highly acceptable contribution. Though not posi tively assured which part is original, we are inclined to hazard a conjecture that the sketch is of French origin, while much of the filling up and embellishment is the pro duct of native talent. Several of the scenes are highly dramatic in effect, and altogether it is a tale of absorbing interest. We arc aware that it is usual to under value tho merit of translated productions, yet few persons who have themselves essay ed the task will refuse a full measure of praise to those by whom it is successfully performed. Every language has a genius of its own so distinct from that of any other, that how ever paradoxical the assertion may nppear, it is very certain that a literal translation is often far from being a true one; and indeed in cases where the least scope is allowed to fancy, no one would think of trammeling themselves by attempting it. “ Pope’s Homer,” as some eminent Greek scholars have sarcastically emphasized it, is a case in point. All who read tho English tongue unite in admiring it, while Cooper’s translation though acknowledged as far more faithful, is scarcely regarded. The reason of this is obvious. Pope had the good sense to accommodate the old bard’s production to the genius of his own language, by which means his beauties are more perfectly felt ami appreciated than the most rigid adher ence to the letter could have rendered them. It may be taken as an established fact, that what we call a spirited translation has very nearly the merit of an original work; and in some respects the difficulties of its peiformance are greater. “ Woman and her inconsistencies.’' —We can have little to say of this tale till its con clusion—thus far, however, wo have read it with much interest. The style and language are elegant and well chosen. “ Intellectual and moral culture .”—A very fair specimen of essay writing. The sub ject is a good one, on which there cannot be too much said. “ The hundred dollar Cloak.” —We like sketches of this nature—they are more like ly to do good than formal dissertations on “The enormity of wickedness and the tur pitude of vice,” and this is very well man aged. We have however one objection to it; the disagreement, no—that is not an ap propriate word—the squabble between Mi 1 . Osborne and his extravagant wife, with which it concludes, is odious-—a regular scolding match it is. If the clear sky of matrimony is subject to such breezes, why put them down in black and white ? “ Boss Ankles, the man what got Mowed up with a sky-racket.” —This is life-like and in imitable. The native cracker stands before us —we behold a real individual—hasten to quiz him, and eagerly joiu in any adventure to draw out his comic peculiarities. The accessaries also are in perfect keeping. For the amusement this sketch has afforded us, the author has our thanks, and the thanks of every laughter-loving Georgian. Let him persevere, he will without question be un rivalled in the humorous and grotesque vein he has struck out —“Georgia Scenes” not withstanding. “ Boss Ankles ’’will he found on our fust page. “ Eighteen months in Russia, by a profes sor if Arms.” —These sketches are from the pen of the celebrated French writer Dumas, and though written under a fictitious char acter, are faithful delineations of the per sons and things introduced. Probably in the whole breathing world there did not ex ist such another oddity as the czarowich Constantine—half prince, half poor, half civilized, half savage, and apparently at least, more than half mad. Ipiaginc such a man controlling the destinies of a nation— and if you do not draw a long breath and thank heaven for not having placed you in his clutches, you have a brave spirit. “ Andrew Burr, a dramatic j>rose trage dy,” by the author of “The Drama,” is commenced in this number. The interest excited in us by the masterly article on the subject of dramatic writing which appeared in the April number has been rather aug mented than abated by the first act of this tragedy upon anew plan. In the beginning of the act, it struck us that the author had rather “gagged,” (to use a term from behind the scenes) the part of Harry, and there is a perplexing mystery about Colonel Archer and Andrew Burr in their interview, that is rare iu tragedy, to say the least of it. To wards the drop of the curtain, however, there is anew interest awakened in the mind of the reader, in the scene botween the two principal female characters; which will not bo appeased until the play is over, and the denouement known. Perhaps the author has that for us in reserve which will throw anew light the characters intro duced in the first act —their motives and intentions: doubtless he has. We would give a regalia to know who this same writer is, who has set about revolutionizing the drama. We have heard many, surmises, but for ought we know, it is as likely to be Mr. Locke as Dr. Caruthers of Savannah, or Mr. Wilde of Augusta as Mr. Lcgare of Charleston. Woever he is, he exhibits un common originality and research. “ The Roses,” is the “most considerable” poem in tho number, and is a pretty little allegoiy. “ Sabbath at Home” —A sweet little poem, like all the emanations from Miss Lee’s pen, breathing the spirit of devotion. Having lately perused Cooper’s “ Two Admirals” aud Jatnos’ “ Jacquerie we take this occasion to give them a passing notice, particularly as we have formed a very dif ferent judgment from that expressed in the “ Companion” respecting them. In our opiuion “ The Two Admirals” merits a place among Mr. Cooper’s very best productions, and fully re-establishes his right to be ranked first among American novelists, and probably in this particular line, first in the world. Yet the work is far from being without, faults, particularly as respects tho story, which is shamefully, meagre and disjointed. This objection, however, applies to all his novels; his forte evidently lies in delineating particular inci dents or scenes, rather than in the intricate combination of thorn. As instances of the former, wc would rc ferour readers to Admiral Bluewoter’s strug gles between the deep-rooted friendship of years, and his allegiance to the exiled mon arch. This ho has managed in a manner worthy of Shakespeare himself, by which we mean, without being an imitator, he has lullowod his lead, and trusted more to tho operation of our imaginations than any ordinary writer would have ventured to do. In this lies the secret of the hold it takes on our feelings. After giving us a thorough insight into the characters of the two friends, and their perfect commingling of heart and soul, he places the difficulty before us, and with only a few touches of his own, trusts to our feelings to imagine the conflicting passions in a mind so prepared and so cir cumstanced. We know tho man so well, that we feel in the depths of our own hearts, all his harrowing perplexity, his soul-rend ing anguish—and the little signal, “God’s sake no signal don’t engage——” reveals more than pages could have ex pressed. The closing scene of Blucwater’s life, also—that in which the friends have their final interview, is one to penetrate the heart —few writers have produced one so touch ing. “Jacquerie,” by James. —This notice in the editorial department has also surprized us considerably, we having read the work very carefully, and thought it rather prosy. Indeed since the appearance of “ Philip Augustus,” there has been a constant falling off, absolutely from bad to worse in all James’ novels, and heaven knows there has been no scarcity of them. Mr. James wea ries by excessive detail; a want of imagina tion is supplied by tedious description; his scenes lack vigor of conception and strength of language; and above all, his characters rarely possess any tolerable degree of indi viduality—they are mere automatons, la belled to occupy certain positions in the work, without much regard to truthfulness or probability. The sentiments of this work are also emi nently auti-republican—as tho main force of tho story depends upon illustrating the characters of Albert Denyn and William Caillet, two serfs brought up in the house of a nobleman, with equal advantages botli ftom nature and education. One, morose and blood-thirsty, endeavors to persuade the other whose impulses arc all generous and noble—aye, noble —to join him in raising their more degraded co-mates into rebellion; and the idea that evidently fills the author’s mind, and which he wishes to impress on his readers, is, that the base blood of the serf, incapable of change even under the purifying influences of gentle nurture and education, displays itself in the atrocious conduct of Caillet, while the chivalrous and high souled Denyn is indebted for his ad mirable qualities to the nolde lineage from which lie is ultimately discovered to have sprung. THE TIMES. At this dull season of the year, we of course cannot expect stirring times. The last crop of Cotton is all in, and the Spring supply of goods all purchased. Duns are in a good degree suspended, and those who are burdened with debt have somo relief until “twenty days before next Court.” Tho Farmer is engaged at home and rarely visits us unless it be to obtain some article from the merchant which is indispensable; as for example, a ribbon for the bonnet of his spouse, or some personal ornament for his daughter, wherewith to‘make an “im pression ” at the next “ gathering.” Politics arc not yet in “full blast,” aud those “grave und weighty matteis,” which agitate the politician’s mind, are not sufficiently “ before the people ” to be discussed in hot weather, and consequently, “an honest difference of opinion” can exist without exciting fears of the “downfall of the republic.” The peo ple of our town, wo believe, are on the whole, tolerably free from trouble, and in as good humor with each other as could rea sonably be expected. Our older citizens arc chiefly engaged in sleeping and loafing, with a spice of conversation on the subject of the last defalcation, or the Dorr rebellion, the Florida Indians, Berkshire hogs, or Cal houn’s gold mine, and are anxious for noth ing except to keep cool and quiet. Our “Boys” are busy playing the gallant and “ doing the amiable.” To say that the times are dull with the “Boys” would be a viola tion of truth, and virtually denying the charm of the pretty faces and fair forms which have recently added so much to the already far-famed “lieauty ” of our town. We think our young friends who are resi dents, are under obligation for the liberality exhibited in the repeated entertainments in which they ltavo recently participated.- Young Gentlemen, you have rare opportuni ties. If you neglect them, your reproaches must fall upon your own heads.
