TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
Fdlow-citizens. —In behalf of the Conven
tion that assembled at Penfield on the 24th
of July last, the undersigned would address
you on the subject of Temperance. In per
forming the agreeuhle task, they deem it
unnecessary to say any thing illustrative of
the nature and importance of the subject;
for the public mind is, in the main, well in
structed on these points, and needs only to
be stimulated, and properly directed, to en
sure the triumph of those principles which
we advocate, and which lie at the founda
tion of individual and national prosperity.
The statistics of Intemperance have been
widely circulated through the public press,
ami every one is aware of the deleterious
influence it exerts upon our individual,'so
cial and political condition. That it ruins
men’s prospects tor time and for eternity—
blunts thoir intellectual faculties, burns up
all the finer feelings of the soul, and ‘ays
them in on untimely grave—that it expels
happiness and plenty from all the families it
enters, and substitutes wretchedness, want
and degradation in their stead—that it
wrings thousands ami tens of thousands of
hearts made worse than widowed by its in
fluence, and costs op >u the cold charities of
the world the ot plians of its victims—that it
corrupts our youth, destroys the purity of
the elective franchise, and interferes witli j
the equitable administration of the law in
our courts of justice—that it fills the laud
with paupers, and is the cause of more than
two-thirds ofthe crime with which our coun
try is cursed—that it increases the pecunia
ry burdens of the people—in one word, that,
in its withering and blighting influence, it
destroys every thing that is lovely and of
good report, has not been left to the under
signed to demonstrate. The proof is with
in the reach of all, and it has long been the.
desire of the benevolent and patriotic, to see
this foe to eveiy cherished interest of man,
banished from our beloved country.
The undersigned will not consume your
time in an attempt to prove to you, that it is
your privilege and duty to apply thecoircc
live. The time lias passed when men may
be deterred from effin ts to rescue anti guard
others from the evils of intemperance, by
the fear of meddling with that which does
not concern them. It is true, we do not
claim to be the exclusive conservators of
the pubtie morals, nor do we consider that
others are more responsible to us than we
are to them ; but every consideration of du
ty and of interest forbids us to be idle spec
tators of tle ruin which this vice is bringing
upon us all in common. Were each man
in an isolated condition, and did the conse
quences of his actions terminate with him
self—did our Creator not endow us with
feelings of benevolence, which (to say noth
ing of our duty) make it our highest privi
logs to sympathize with others in their dan
gers and their distresses, we might, with
some propriety, look with calm indifference
upon the inroads intemperance is making
upon the prosperity and happiness of our
fellow-citizens; hut when we are so inti
mately connected in our social capacity, and
as members of the same body politic, that,
if one suffers, all the other members suffer
in common—when we all breathe the same
mural atmosphere, and, ifii he tainted, catch
the same moral infection, it is our right, it
is our imperative duty, to use all prudent
and luwtul means fur the expulsion of the
aril.
The committee doubt uot that these sen
timents find a response in the breast of eve
ry philanthropist, and that it is only neces
sary to point out the best plan of operations
to array their fellow citizens in an influence
that cannot lie resisted.
11l perforating the task assigned to them,
they would endeavor to enforce upon your
attention but one single idea, aud that is, j
the importunee of keeping temperance untram - I
melled, and free- from connection with any
other subject. Its past history has shown,
that it is most efficient and successful, when
it stands on its own merits, aud operates by
its own unaided energies. A lew years ,
ago, actuated by the most conscientious mo
tives, we endeavored to bring to our aid the j
strong; arm of the law ; hut the rosult has !
taught us & lesson, which, iu our subsequent |
effui ts, should not be lost upon us. In cast
ing our eyes oveli the State, wo saw every |
conspicuous point occupied by individuals,
who, under the sanction of law, dealt out, j
in open defiance of public opinion, that I
which corrupted 1 our servants, ruined our
cbildreu, and destroyed the morals of our
citizens, and, looking too exclusively to the :
abstract principles of right, we sought by |
the stem enactments of law to remove the
evil— and most signally failed.
All past experience has shown, that, in a
country like ours, those laws which are in
advance of public sentiment are, in their ve
ry nature, inoperative. When the people
themselves are the framers and executors
of the laws, they must be satisfied of their
utility; or they will sufler them, however
enacted, to lie a dead letter upon the statue
book.
The evil against which we contend is
deeply seated in our individual ar.d social
habits, and it is there it must be met, and
from thence it must be dislodged. If we
can only persuade our fellow citizens not to
use the article, though the fires of ten thou
sand distilleries should be kindled where
one now burns—though a grog shop were
established by law in every house, and
streams of alcohol should literally flow down
our si reels, we would be a free, a temper
ate, and a prosperous people. It is not the
manufacturing and the vending, but the use
of the article that causes the mischief, and
the only way to prevent the supply is to de
stroy the demand. Our error lias consisted
in this : that we have lost sight of the cause
am! wasted our strength in fruitless attacks
upon the effects. We repeat it: it is against
the consumption of the article that our efl’orts
should be directed. This is the root which
penetrating deeply into our soil, sends nour
ishment up into this moral upas tree which
is exhaling disease and death around—ifthe
root be cut the leaves will wither and the
trunk decay.
The spiiit of Temperance is purely a be
nevolent spirit, and, like the religion of Je
sus Christ, its only object is to reclaim and
sate. .Looking abroad over the earth, it
sees none so abject as to be unworthy of its
notice, and none so lost as to be past recov
ery. Clad in the garments of love, it ap
proaches the victim of intemperance, ad
dresses him in soothing and encouraging
language, inspires him with confidence iti
himself, and imparts the will that enables
him to throw off the shackles that have
bound him; and if, by the force of inveter
ate habit, or thepress of overwhelming temp
tations, be relapses into bis former bondage,
it has no vigilance committee to denounce
him and hold his name up to public infamy,
but, considering that while there is life there
is hope, it pursues him with its kind offices
until he shall be thoroughly reclaimed or the
grave shall have removed him out of its
reach.
The undersigned claim not that these
views are either new or original, but they
are strongly impressed with a conviction of
their importance, and cannot urge them too
forcibly upon your attention. Depend up
on it, fellow citizens, the only cause of the
evil is that men will drink, and the only rem
edy for it is to prevail upon them not to drink.
If we keep these simple ideas constantly in
view, and be actuated by zeal and piudence,
our labors will bo crowned with the most
abundant success.
Praying that the Almighty Disposer of
events, in whose bands are the hearts of all
the children of men, may smile upon our ef
forts to free our country from intemperance
and its evils, wo subscribe ourselves in be
half of the Convention,
Your obedient, bumble servants,

Rough and Tumble. —The New Orleans
Tropic tells the followingstory: “A F tench
man, who knew avery little of ourlanguage
unfortunately got into a difficulty with p.
back countryman ; and fight be must j and
that, too, rough and tumble. But, before
lie went at it, be was very anxious to know
what lie should cry out, if lie found himself
whipped. After being informed that when
he was satisfied, all that he would have to
do would be to cry out “enough,” at it they
went; but poor Monsieur, in bis difficul
ties, forgot the word ; and finding his eyes
were likely to be removed from their sock
ets, he began to cry out; but insted of say
ing vvliat be was told, he commenced bawl
ing lustily, ‘hurrah ! hurrah ! ! hurrah ! !!’
To his astonishment, the countryman kept
pounding and gouging the harder, when
Monsier, finding there was no use in hal
lowing turned and went to work in good
earnest, so that it was not long before the
countryman sang out, in a stentorian voice,
“enough 1” “ Say that again,” said the
Frenchman. “ Enough! enough!!*’ ciied
he again; when the Frenchman, in his turn
broke out, “ Begar dat is de vera word 1
was try to say long time ago.’ ”
Pulpit Ingenuity. —A preacher in the
neighborhood of Blackfrisrs, London, not
undeservedly popular, had just finished an
exhortation strongly recommending the sup
port ofa certain very meritorious institution,
j The congregation were numerous, and the
! chapel crowed to ‘excess. The discourse
j being finished, the plate was about to be
j handed round to the respective pews, when
j the preacher made this short address to the
’ congregation : “ From the sympathy 1 have
j witnessed in your countenances, and the
i strict attention you have honored me with,
j there is only one thing l um afraid of; that
j some of you may give too much. Now it is
my duty to infotm you that justice, though
j nut so pleasant, should always be a prior vir
j tue to generosity; therefore, as you will bo
immediately w aited upon in your respective
! pews, I wish to have it thorougldy under
stood, that no person will think of putting
any thing in the (date who cannot pay his
debts.” We need not arid that this pro
duced a most overwhelming collection.
Snujf the Candle. —“ A simple servant
boy one evening went up to the drawing
room, on the bell’s being rung. When he
returned to the kitchen, he laughed immod
erately. Some of the scivauts asking the
cause of his mirth, he cried. *• What do
you think 1 there were sixteen of them who
could not snuff the candles, and were oblig
ed to send for me to do it.”
