That the evils produced by the use of liquor ure great, are neither denied nor I doubted by any. So great indeed, are they known to be, that all civilized mi lions, so far as we are informed, have been laboring for ages, to so regulate) the snip, or the drinking of nil intnxica-1 ting drinks by law , as to prevent as 1 much of their evils a possible. With a view to this end they have kept lip . proems of legislative enaotfnesnts, whieli! lias always been a business of experi ment, and consequently they have been ‘ ditferent in dill', rent countries, and ol wavs changing in the same country ; no experiment ever proving satisfactory, nl ter its provisions Imd w.eked mit their; natural results. Laws after laws have boon passed upon this subject fur cen turies; still ilisiroying evils have boon) found to attend them ull, producing dis-; content, and causing partial or total re penis of some oftlieir provisions, amend ments of others, and often new enact-1 ments. Among all the 1 xpi riments made In law to prevent the evils complained of, 1 not one lias ever succeeded, in every country, in every age and instance, each one has resulted in entire fail- ’ uie.s. The cause ol these results hu> been and is in the nature of the subject legislated up a). The use of itrtoxica ting liquors operates directly toa perwi sion ofthc appetites anil reasoning of those who drink them, deadening tin moral sense, and rousing into violence the worst exercises of the pas ion . t Rv in” to a dilloreuce in the ooustitutiivisof men, these clients are different in tla'ir degrees in different persons. So far, however, as the quantity drunk oper ates, iis whole tuudeuoy is to evil. It; never niaa. s anv one more healthy, j happy, rich, wise and good, than h was before he drank : hut on the contrary, it tir’k s thousands upon thousands, if not a. , more poor, less happy , less wise, j and less good than they had previously’ been. Therefore to think of regulating ; a practice by law, which is active and efficient in producing evil, without ever promoting tho exercise of any one vir tue, moral principle, useful social feel ing or disposition in any one; hut which on tho contrary, weakens the body, impairs the health, destroys the moral sense, pushes the reason from it* throne, deranges the exerei ‘ t uiC passions, and begets iu the appetite a raging aivl insatiable de>ire for more and mill more of tho loudening dii.uk.

From these -sellers rtH may buy and drink, as many do, and be swindled out of the last dilno they may have to buy a liitlc bread for a huliga ry family. ‘1 hose liquor sellers have tho licensed privilege ol corrupting j the morals, destroying l,he sense and pocketing the property of as many men, , women ami chtraren, as they may be I able to tempt and ensnare into their (iuwrr. Ii if weir not for the credit given to lhi:> monstrous trade by tho 1 law, it is hulieverl that its odiousness wi.'uld he inuro uiudily scon tiiau it is. But what, it may Bo asked, ought the legi datum I • do ojion this subject ? W<- answer, Jl ought to re -train tho : Sidling of liqUor, as a majority of the people wish it re.silaincu 1 . i* l passing,: laws of expediency our government rests upon innjuritie*, und its principles arc to he found iu their will. All, V VI - j suppose, will admit this to he sound ro- 1 publican democracy. The retailing of liquor to bo restrained whenever the l people wish’it. Some who wish this I fear that the people are not prepared for 1 a change. The mnulured ghost of the Flourtioy petition haunts their imagine- j lions, and they are fearful and timor- j (JUS. To such Wo say, that no great und 1 good work in ntdrals, religion or poli ) ties was ever achieved without a con test. Tho success of ull such incus : ui'cs d.-pends upon the labor and ener gy of a determined tew. To wait lor ‘every one to manifest a desire for good 1 laws, is in eii'. ct 10 abandon all ctforis 1 lor good government. Wo believe, however, that tho public feeling and : judgment.are now sufficiently prepared . : for such legislation, as we will present -Ily suggest, lithe friends of good mor als will unite, m utt ellort to produce a reform according to the plan we have hinted, our opinion is that it can ho eu | sily effected by large majorities that w ill sustain it in defiance of what little j ‘opposition may he found to it. To promote the happiness of the American people, in accordance with) 1 the general w ill and local wants of the j j w hole, as much as possible, the const i- 1 Union and laws have organized the uu-1 1 tion under a genital government for!’ ! curtail) purposes, and 11 s territory into; : States, and .Stales into counties, and j ‘counties into still less divisions, all in tended to give effect to tin! enlightened 1 w ill of majorities, and to provide for the local wants of all, so fur as may lie con sistent with the welfare of all. Then as the liquor tin the, carried on by whole sale and retail sellers, the very worst; soi l of bad men, is known to constitute . the greate t evil w ith w hich mankind ) is a til ie ted, we propose tho following remedy tor such districts as wish to bo j freed from it, viz.: Let the friends “f good murals, no matter to what church ot’ other society they’may befong, or whether to any ot tlicin or not, aIT petit toil the legisla ’ lure at its next session to pass a law,', pj'ov idiug that an election shall he held ! 1 n a given day, in every justice’s dis- ; Uriel Mir igliout the Slate, to ascertain | whether 1 majority ot the people are’ tor, ■ t against having liquor shops! j among them. If a majority in any ot'! • them shall vote in favor of having) i them. let the act provide that in all-sueli, Jisti'i’ ts, , very one nt.tv soli that choc- i ses to do sv.

But i.i all stiGi districts as may give a maj ait v ol votes against having tiies^’ ,) nuts utevt to a., votxl among them, Rt . tue act provide with proper penalties against tin selling t'l liquor 111 them to, I be usC'l as beverages. l!v such a law, i ‘it 1: were passed.- every justice’s dis- I I triet in the Niate, in telaium to the sale. , cl liqtii". would lie governed bv the e\. . piesscd w ill ol its own majorities.

The caiumg use vvtiicii they and many ignorant men . make of tiie word yricdtgc, lias no Misuse in it. They insist, taut because die liquor which they mike or soil, is ’ the product oftlieir labor, that there* j lure, they ought to he hindered in . ar -1 rying ou their trade. This argument inis uu mute reason j in it, than it Would have, if it were ap plied to tho sale of the lleali of an ox for j good beef, w hich it was known had (lied of the inilksick, and was couse j qqpntly poison ; for the raising, skin -1 ning, outing up an I selling this lies'), j would he as much the produce ol the seller’s labor, as is the malting or sel lin” of j.’quor. Mu') too, in the husinc s of making u.'id passing counterfeit mon ey, for tiie diet, stumps, Ovc., and the labor of making the modny and passii'g it are all the work anJ tin produce of tiio.se who engage in it. ‘J’he morality of all iluse mid similar works ajd htist tiess, is tho same in principle; und that qualification of heart winch fits a man to carry on any one of them, equal ly qualifies him to curry on either or both of the other two. Indeed, all the wicked works of had men, with their iruits and results, are as much their own works, with their labor, fruits and produce, as is the making, luiyinc and selling of liquor; and it would bo un iust to he otherwise. Ureal as the evils produced I . th. ( works and business of bad nun are, we 1 j know of none who hava prod need at, largo an amount of human misery as', the liquor seller. Whilst the counter feiters have injured their hundreds, tii liquor sellers liuve ruined their lens of, thousands. Ouo whole-sale dealer wiih his under-workers does more injury to society than all the counterfeiters hi! the nation. Tlio only objection wo have to our’ plan of suppressing the evil complaint and | of, is, that it is feared, hy some, that if all were authorised to sell li ( juor in such districts as might give a majority vote for its sale among them, it would | probably cause liquor to be more oasjl\ obtained by slaves titan it now is, and consequently that their masters might be in some degree injured hy it. This is not admitted. But suppose that in a tew instances this might be the case, it i is supposed that at most there would not ’ be more than n tilth, perhaps not lull’ that number, that would vote to ooutin-1 ue the sale of liquor iu their districts, ; and consequently that the evil to slaves would not in the whole be unc-fiftn of its present amount. By such a law the amount of evil done by liquor sellers to helpless faini \ lies and others, would, we have no j doubt, he lessoned more than four-tilths, I lor we believe there would be, compar atively, but a very few districts that t would not vote against a further contin uance Oflhoevii. But if it should hi i thought best to continue the present ; system iu such districts as might vote for it, be it so. What we principally contend for, is that the people shail ho ; freed from all sorts of liquor sailers, in such districts as do not w ant them. LEWIS RKiNEAU.

The classes in astronomy and phi losophy, manifested an interest in those studies and a degree of progress, which ! wore ns pleasing as they were surpri*’ sing. Som* of the pupils in these clas ses were very smalt children, and yet ! the subjects seemed to have awakened j in ull, an amount of attention and adis nositioii to grapple wit., them, as won derful as it was ugreublc. The “black board” appeared to be a favorite imple-i ;11 icnt with teacher air! pupils. !t was : the thread of Anadue, winch seemed to , help them out of every labyrinth. Besides the usual course, the pupils j arc taught map- Rawing and pen-man- 1 .-ship with great care. The specimens exhibited on this occasion wore highly l creditable. Some maps of the State of j ! Georgia were remarkably well execu-, j tod, and we doubt if they can bo ex-) j celled tn any institution in the State. I in the department of drawing and ! painting, which is under the cure of Mrs. M. Cook, the pupils manifested very decided improvement and gave j promise of g. r cat proficiency in future. The clases it, French, taught by Mrs | Foyer, as far as wc were able to judge, ‘displayed considerable knowledge of ) this language, and Mrs. F-’s scholar ship and method of instruction, furnish I the host guaranty that the pupils in I thisdepartment have not spent their time in vain.

The edifice, though not as imposing is some, is neat and comfortable, and lean, conveniently, accommodate one hundred pupils.

The Committee on tiie State of the Order would submit tiie following rs -1 pert : . . . ‘ The Order in every locality with it 1 uur jurisdiction, has been fulfilling its, ‘mission with more or less faithfulness and success. The attentive and care- j ltd student of the temperance reforma tion cannot biii to see that it lias been marked by distinct eras, each one more important than the proceeding, and yet j all necessary parts of one great and per-) teet whole, l hiis each association for’ ! the promotion of this great cause h is | been adapted to tiie particular work j assumed to it. None can fail to reoog-1 nize in every successive step ol prog ress tiie guiding hind of God. Iu tiie; inception of our Order, and through all : the years of its useful existence, there have been these who doubted tiie pro ’ priety of such an organization; yet no I cue al day will deny that it has ac complished,. and is accomplishing, a mighty, beiiilicent an 1 glorious work. I - Our past is iuterestiu r. our present full | of importance, our future pregnant 1 with nope. But wc have no time to) rejoici over past victories, or exult in | ■ present attainment.;; the Providence of, God clearly bids us press forward; while tiie su"ie Providence as clearly 1 ! says —“This is tue way, walk ye in it.” h seems to vour Committee, that wliut | ever ditforenoes of opinion may exist !to the means by which, the work is to; be accomplished, there can be 11 > doubt that the mission of our Order is to so-) cure the utter annihilation of the man- ] 1 ufaetim; of, and trade in intoxicating | 1 drinks. To tho accomplishment of this l end, all our energies and efforts should ! ; he directed. We regard those as indisputible j facts:—Tnat the trade in intoxicating drinks is die fruitful source of pm per- j ) ism, wretchodtv s; and crime : —that the j ! train of evils is not incidential to the i j trade, but inseparable from it:—iii.it no police regulations, however strict,. ) can preveni, or greatly mitigate these | ) evils :-tiiut tho object and duty of G >v- ) eminent are n n to regulate, but proliib- ! it wrongs; not to license, but punish crime:—that fur the injuries iulliete i ) upon society by this gigantic wrong, ) there is and can be no redress after the ! | injury is done; and that consequently 1 the only adequate remedy must be a ) preventive one. h has been settled by the supreme I ) judicial tribune tu this country that no 1 | person has a right to introduce in'o a! j community any tiling w 7 liich will cor • rupt its morals, destroy its lile, or en- j i danger ils peace. Upon this aeknovvl- ( | edged principle is based a!! that legisla- j tion that asserts the right to seize, con- 1 ! tisoaic an J destroy the tables of tiie j i gambler, the dies and implements of • j the counterfeiter, and which absolutely j inter'lids the earyirtg 0:1 of certain • useful und lawful trades iu given local ities —in short, all that class of enact ments which is founded upon tlu- inlicr-’ ) ent right ol seit detenu :. Vour Com mittee, from the very nature of the evil 10.be removed, are I'ully convinced liiut any legislation will be utterly inefficient’ | which does not provide for the seizure ! and destruction ofthc instrument-- 1 which does not brand it as an outla w ) & abate it as nuisance. If Government! ; has no right to interfere with a man’s business when that business is destruc : five to all the best interests of his fellow men, individually and socially, then is; the declaration that we have a right! to enjoy and defend life and liberty, acquire, possess and protect property, pursue and obtain happiness, a miserli ’ Ble falsehood, a worse than poetical tlc -1 tion; as no mail or society of men can ; en joy any ot these asserted rights in a j land ofdistileries and dram-shops. Those facts being all admitted, it has 1 yet been denied tiiat our Order is in'sti-! tuied to interfere with the legislation of the country and it is asserted that as j Sons of Temperance, we cannot legit-! imately assail tho established usages of •society.

It was a great ellort, it we judge of it by 7 tiie ell• ct upon the audiiory, after all Hie uuc test ol oratory. His views were new to the people—their prepos sessions were in opposition to these views—and yet such was the force of j Ins logic, and the earnestness of his ap peals, that had it been put to the vote )of the assemblage, there would have been a unanimous voice in favor of the speaker’s doctrines. At tho conclusion of the addresses, the line was reformed, and proceeded to Howard’s Grove, where a magnificent 1 dinner had been prov ided under the su perititenneuce ot Uri Jaques Taylor,.

This did not de stroy the appetite which the long walk had created, and ample justice was done to tno well-spread feast.
