i to the People of Georgia
on Prohibition. "••• *
w Citizens: . ‘i.fxiffZIffF. -: U Jg
HaviBgJbee&yAtppoiiited bj the
Temperance Con vemiou assembled at
Marietta, to address you iu support
oi the action of that body, and also in
behalf of the Prohibition cause, and
Prohibition Candidates generally, we
undertake the task with a. sense of
responsibility such as we have rarely
ever felt on any former occasion.—
Our observation is, that it is yery
difficult for the popular mind to em
brace or appreciate the words of sober
reasdn, whenever it happens to be
transported, as it now is, with deliri
um oi‘ political excitement. Yet, , we
must believe that the masses of Geor
gia desire to know the Truth. How
ever much we may suspect the mo
tives of a few party leaders, yet we
believe the great body of the people
be patriotic. The most of them
their respeciive parties ; and alt iqugli
no overtures, fr« In an authorised
source, were mad$ by the ' prohibition
party with a view fo harmonize con
flicting interests, vet the prohibition
ists were met out of-doors with the in-
'fjniry; “ Why .does not Mr. I Overby
come down f You haye put out your
candidate ffc the wrong time. Two
much excitement foY-prohibition now—great i. t --rest now be
You may as well give it oyer. It is
doomed to be a failure.” ' j
, To all this class of questions we have
been-in the habit of making the fol
lowing reply: When we took .the
first step in this movement, our polit
ical sky was clear, and there were in
Georgia no important issues to agitate
the minds of our people. It was belie
ved that nearly all of the old party is
sues had ripened into maturity and
fallen into decay, to be no more remem
bered. Under this auspicious state'of
things, it was confidently, hoped that
the voters of Georgia would have an
opportunity of voting upon this ques.
tion, untrammelled by. other exciting
issues. Unfort mauly, however, it
has turned out otherwise. Not be
cause such a result was necessary, but
otic men of all parties, and Christians
of all sects, will you help us? In the
fear of God decide which is the best
cause, and Come up to it “ terrible as
an army with banners.”
But there are still other reasons why
the.. Marietta Convention resolved to
sustain Mr. Overby. They regarded
him as the representative*of the jonlv
recognize the force of a Christian ob-: because a few party leaders, for reasons
lination upon them to do whatever the we may not discuss, and in violation of
upon
good of the State demauds;
. Entertaining these views of your
honesiyand patriotism, fellow-citizens,
we feel encouraged to hope that you
will examine our positions, and judge
of them in the light, of the arguments
herein set forth, and not conclude that
we are in. error, without affording us
an opportunity to prove that We are
not. Is.it possible that we may be
right in the grounds we have taken ?
li yoii say not, you claim infallibility;
and this appertains to no finite mind.
Wb may be right—you admit it.—
Therefore a matter of so much inipor-
.anceas this is conceded to be is sure
ly worth while inquiring into.—
It is sq fuji of joy or sorrow, of weal
or woe, of life or death, of heaven or
hell, that if it is not certain whether
you or ice be right in this issue, you
dare not pass it by lightly. You dare
not guess at it. nor leave it to mere j
chance, either to”Uevefope tne itimr o

of this precious
interest. We charge you, that you
set it not down as one of the indiffer
ent issues of polities merely-—not sim
ply a rallying point for a party—a
thing of so little importance that an
e ror committed now may be correc
ted hereafter, without leaving any
trace of mischief behind it. Beware
of this delusion. Should you take the
wrong path now, be it for e ver so
small it distance, the wrecks of many
immortal hopes must be strewn in
your track—hopes that may never be
recovered. _
With these solemn convictions
weighing iq on our ininds; we' par
ticipated in the councils and acquiesced
in the action of the late Marietta Con
vention. The proceedings of, that
bpdv have been greatly deplored and
highly censured in some quarters.—
Whether tliis regret and this condem
nation be the offspring of enlightened
patriotism or of party predilections, is
not for us to determine. Of one thing
we .are sure. The action of that Con
vention whs taken in the fear of .God,
foil view of a future retribution,
taken a minute survey of all
the.points in the field, the Convention
did not see how. they;could, innocent
ly, act otherwise than as they did.—
Are we asked why we did not vote Mr.
Overby out of the field? We answ-
enr Tliat Convention claimed no ju
risdiction in the premises, not being
the one which first made the nomina
tion. ' Why, then, did they adopt
him as their candidate ? For several
reasons. They had no candidate, and
they desired to have one. Mr. Over
by, was already on the .field, and as
worthy a man as any to be found on
the field or off of it; and though he
had been nominated'by the prohibition
yet the Marietta Convention were
willing to, ay they did, shoulder the
platform of that Atlanta Conveiilion,
and they could perceive no manly
reason why they should reject a can
didate Who could so faithfully repre
sent tlicir views and their interests.—
therefore,Yhey cordially opened their
arms to him, without once enquiring
what direction the spoils would take
in the event of success. Though
the claimed no right to command the
ekndidate ofanother party to retire,
yet they did claim the right to adopt
that candidate if they choose ; they
did claim the right to say to - prohibi
tionist^, \ye are pleased with your can
didate/we wilt take him to be our
own ; we will vote for him in Octo-
s, Dimitietii &<?•, &c.
It may be proper to add, that Mr.
Overby’s frieniE did not bring his
certain delicacies which we may bare
ly aljude to, determined to nave it
so. Therefore we repel the Insinua
tion. We did not bring this precious
interest in die field in the midst of a
storm. Our neighbors, our brothers,
who knew that i t was ih the field, and
who professed to feel anxious about its
fate, nevertheless, conjured up-tli is tem
pest winch now rages around it so fierce
ly. And what is more strange than all,
they tell .us that they knew the -storm
they were raising would ruin both us,
and the cause we advocate, and yet
they would persist. Not we, but our
friends, have placed this interest in
peril. If temperance, if prohibition
perish in this storm, tne Lord be judge
between us and you.
We protest that there Was no neces
sity for making conflict between pro
hibition and certain other political in-
tercif-s, in connection with the Govein-
scnsible argument-to prove that such
necessity did exist. Fr-im all the
lights before us, we are thoroughly
coviuced that the masses of Georgia
greatly desired that the field should
be left open .without the nomination of
a third cand’date, in order that the
people might be left free to cast their
vote for Overby an prohibition. And
bow, if prohibition be defeated-, where
lies the onus of responsibility ? Let
those answer who forced a third can
didate upon the people; and let those
who failed to represent the known
wishes remember it—there will be a
day of fearful retribution.
We repeat, there was no. necessity
for a third candidate. We will Yen
.ture to say there was no patriotic ob
ject to be'aceomplished in the nomina
tion of Judge Andrews, which could
not bo accomplished without it.- It
the party had rallied upon tne Con
gressional election they could thereby
have made a test of their strength as
fully as now, and more so ; because
they have iiow made a wanton conflict
with prohibitionists, who already had
their candidate be tore the people more
than.six months before band. Tliis
conflict will necessarially prevent a
ful l exhibition of the strength of both
parties in the Governor’s election.—
There would have been no such, em
barrassment had they restricted their
efforts to the Congressional ticket—
And now.We appeal to all prohifionists
who may have attached themselves to
the Native American party—we say
to them, by right of precedence We
claim the Governor’s election, as our
appropriate medium for showing the
strength of the -prohibition cause in
Georgia. We claim your vote upon
this ground, especial I lv, as a matter of
right. We claim it, also, off the score
of liberality. We beg you to remem-
Uer, that although the Native Ameri
can party should fail to elect their
Governor, yet they need suffer no em
barrassing defeat. They may fail in
their Governor, and yet elect every
Congressman, and thereby demon
strate that they are the dominant par
ty in Georgia. It seems to us that the
“Natives” want every thing—there
is no spirit of compromise. It is pain
fill to know it, and it will be hard . to
forget it.
We propose to show our strength
on Mr. Overby, if they will permit us
tcrdWlt. They say we cannot do this,
and therefore we are indiscreet inmak-
iru? the attempt. We say to them you
cannot rally your strength on Judge
Andrews, although he is worthy, and
therefore it is indiscreet in ybu to make

. Moreover, we propose to turn the
2,200 foreign grogshop keepers in

into utter insignificance; so much so,
that all-the political evils, merely, now
complained of in Georgia, might be
thrown in for good measure, in estima
ting toe mischiefs of the retail liquor
traffic. The ruin which it affects in a
single day could not lie repaired by ev
ery man and every dollar on the face of
the earth, within the compass of an or
dinary lifetime. Besides, other politi
cal evils so much talked about, are
prospective—they do not exist in Geor
gia now to any great extent—but the
mischiefs of the liquor traffic area pres
ent reality. Now-—always now—the
mischief is going on. The “boiling,
bubbling cauldron” always smokes
upon its furnace—the tears of blood
are always flowing into it—ruined
hearts are always seething there in
hopeless agony—there is no respite—
no elipsis in this work of ruin, and r.o
alleviation of the miseries which it pro
duces. Therefore, they dared not as
sume the responsibility of refusing their
support to the man who, like a noble
hero, proposed to throw himself into
the list, ready to be sacrificed, if need
be, upon the altar of humanity. How
could they act otherwise as patriots—
as Christians? Because some who ad
mired t ie nobleness of the prohibition
candidate, and acknowledged the jus
tice of his cause, preferred to desert
both, lo- ing, as they do, the galling
chain of party vassalage, did it, there
fore, become’our duty to desert them
too? Could we look upon those bleed-
iu<r mangled victims yonder—could
we’ listen to their 'pitiless waii,
their importunate cry for heli>—could
we then turn away and abandon them
Because others had chew ri to * !•> eo 7—
Could we do this; could we show our
selves so destitute of merer, and yet
venture, ever .(lore, to bow down in oar
closet aud ask mercy at the hands of
our “ Heavenly Father.”
And yet there are tho? *, even now,
who beg us to desist, assuring us that
they love temperance, and even prohi
bition, as well « r uf wo do; that they re
gard if the most important question, in
its immediate bearing, that is now be
fore the people. But, say they, “your
present course will utterly ruin the
cause.” When we ask them how?
they reply that the smallness-of the
vote will sO’’ discourage the friends of
prohibition that they will never rally
to, its support again. fhi3 rep 5 /
clearly straws what sort of stuff their
love of the cause is made of. It means
simply,that notw ithstanding thefriends
of prohibition k;iow thatthe vote to be
given in October will be small, owingto
the fact that more than half of its friends
will not support it, yet they mean to
take that vote as a real test of its
strength, though they know it will not
be, and they mean to be so discouraged
by it as never to rally to its support
again. We real I v suspect that those
of its friends who' thus deceive them*
selves, will never rally to its standard,
so long as they can find any political
humbug to absorb their patriotic de
votion.
But again. If the smallness of tbe-
vote which prohibition will command,
is to be the cause of the mischief, ot
course the smaller the vote the greater
the mischief; and the greater the vote
the less the mischief. Every prohibi
tionist, therefore, who withholds his
vote lie!ps to increase the misehiefj and
to make the ruin more complete. It is
not the votes given, therefore, but the
votes withheld that will ruin the cause.
Will hot those who withhold them be
responsible?
Who has a right to say, “My vote
will do no good?” It is when the
’ friends of virtue are in a minority that
every name added to the list does the
most good, It is when virtue is weak
handed and unpopular, tiiaf she most
needs help. Then, too, there is most
honor to those who nobly enter the
ring as her champions, and most
dishonor to those who say that she is so
very needy now, and in such bad re
pute that they will have nothing to do
with her, and thus basely desert her
to perish amidst the scoffs and jeers of
her enemies.
