At the death of such a man, the whcle
country suffers loss, not his family simply,
or the church to which lire adhered. It is
beqqpting feten that something more be
given than a mere passing tribute to his
memory. We him tyeU.. It was
onr good fortune to be an inmate of his
family for near a twelve month, and, we
confess it to.be the most profitably JfeOT of
oyr life, "fbe best for literary, social arid
moifel eoHuro. How much may the des-
tis^y of a young man be influenced and
conformed to right principled in all after
life by timely association the great
and the good.
Well do we remember while quite a boy
tfcp. first time we even saw ^im. His fame
bad preceded him. He bad preached at
a camp meetiug in Putnam county, and
during one of the most eloquent sermons
ever heard, the whole congregation were
convulsed and melted into tears, and Tt was
estimated that about two thousand knelt
for prayers. Amoqg them -onp. poor- fel
low Stowers lost his mind, for about three
inontba. Au allusion tofehis circumstance
in after years seemed very painful to the
Biphop. A few nights after the time to
which we pllude, be preached at Eatontop
to a large audience and maintained his
well earned reputation. This was in
11823...
Those who heard him prior to this time
poke of him, as oqg ftf \he most impas
sioned orafe^s, full of Yehpmefiee and giffe
ed with a h r -jUmfit imagination,. Subse
quently be became less so. How much
the circumstance alluded to alone may have
conduced to this modification in his style
we. know.not. But on his return in 1828
from the grjjtisb Conference whether he
had been sent as a delegate from the M.
E. Church in this country, his manner of
preaching was changed more than ever.—
This yqs remsjeked ?fe his eivriy admi
rers and many of them regretted it very
much. How well he sustained himself in
the mi!4 pursuasive forms of eloquence,
may be inferred from an opinion expressed
by John C. Cftfeouq even in late years,
that 1 he was thefeest specimen of true Ci
ceronian ^to^uencc he fe?4 cver listened
to. ..... *., ,.
At the General conference for 1833, he
was the most prominent man feom the
South for Bishop. After the first-ballot
vii which he ^received, the Southern vote,
it was found that the qp^se^ which subse
quently severed the^church, was operating
jasi%!U Ttfer~rtr Axg?nXutra v W
membe'rsj - He wlas : lirged- to. dissolve his
cofjjj^^ffes with slavery as fee. only harri
er between him and the episcopacy, which
he refused .to do. At the same time re
commending them to vote for James 0.
Andrew, who happened to-own no slaves,
and consequently was more acceptable
to jhe N^rth, lie was accordingly elected
and the question staved off,' until; _provi-
dentially becoming possessed of /them,'fee
fanaticism that, defeated Capers, discarded
Andrew, pndsp]ij the church in twain.
It *j r as-natural that the'Church South,
should look to Dr. Capers, as fine of .dhe
first men to‘ honor with Episcopal dignity.
He was ^.gcordingly elected Bishop at the
V
byhia native Statu to aid in Susta^ping the.
■College at Columbia, when, by the infidelity
of its fearned President, 5 Dr. Cooper, it had
gone down to zero in publio estimation, and
at his demise, for a time he. acted fis the
president. Subsequently he was called to
succeed Dr. Olin in the Presidency of Ran
dolph Macon College, which he declined,
as he most generally did everything, that
might lead him any extent
freqn the regular ministry of the word.
During the, prevalence of-the yellow fe
ver in Savannah in 1820, being then com-
para^yely a young man, he v^as assiduous
in his visitations of the Bick and dying
until he finally contracted the
himself. " His particular friend fee great
and good Dr. Eollock of the Independent
Church, waited on him day and night,
sparing no yarns to render hi^ comfortable
until he finally succeeded. In his turn he
had to pay the same sad offices to hi* Rev
erend friend,, with .the same asiduity and
unremitting kindness, but not with the
same success, for deatii claimed him as his
willing victim- Youn
to preach his funeral sermon, which if
mistake not, appea s with a copy of Dr.
Kollock’s sermons published not long af
ter. He was also invited by the session
to take charge of the church as their, reg
ular p^ter- under the promise (as it* has
been said) of $5,000 per annum, which he
declined, because he thought he could ac
complish more good in another s

of moral and intellectual worth than Bish

developement. His manner, his face, his
form, gesticulation a#d yoice, ^ere all cal
culated to engage the attention and please
mind. Hence oyhen young a class of
temptations were open to him, that but few
have ever had to the same or met

great way off, };e seudeth conditions of

ui*y be useful to us in more instances than
one. . W’hat has been the. history of the
temperance rcfqrm in Georgia! fiib
cause ever .^jlV'foced successfully one step
iu adyancc of public opinion-? Ought not
the energies of its frieqds be put forth to
prepare public opinion first for such
measure? In 1889 Mr. Josjaii Flournoy,
being profoundly impressed wjth the evils
of our grbgshop system, took .it upon him
self to canvass the State,, and by thous
auds of signatures of men, women, and
children, ip.emofialft.ed, the Legislature to
suppress the traffic,. I'need not tejj you-the
result. Iu 1853 a .similar effort'was made,
and met with a similar fate. Now why
these failures of success ? The reason
to be found in fee fact, that public opin
ion is not-ready fqf this.aetiou, if it were
the object would have been obtained long
since. Why then, undertake to do a thing
which phy’osphy, common sense, and all
experience show cannot be, done ? It is a
potoripus fact in the history of the temper
ance cause in Geqrgia, that every attempt
to force public 'opiuftn by an arbitrary pow
er, has done an injury, to the cause. Now in
view of these fact!?,; obvious to all, I $$3
sider the vaineft pope that ever the tem
perance men expected to realise, is to form
themselves into a third party, with the ex
pectation of success. The public sentiment
is not ready for suclf an action, and I will
venture to predict, that if the attempt
made, it will meet with the same defeat
that all their similar efforts have met with
The best thing I beiieye that can be done
under the present circumstance, is to en
