MORAL AND BELKIIOUS.
Work tor the Mnistry-
Mr. Editor :—The past year was
one of considerable excitement, to a
portion of the Ministers of the Georgia
Conference; a portion ol the Itinerant
brethren have become tiled of preach
ing on large Circuits to small congre
gations ; or rather vacant seats and
empty walls, which are calculated to
w ear out the preacher, and fail! to ac
complish his designs.
Some ol our local brethren tell us in
the quurler conference, that if they
were in the itinerant field, they would
work for their master all the time, but
circumscribed as they are, they do not
see iiow they can accomplish much in
the Lord’s vineyard. Hut God says,
“go teach,” and the church has li
cenced you to preach, says the P. El
der, and you should obey t lie brother
responds; “I am ready,” but 1 cannot
hud work to do, 1 have preached at our
church until i cannot get a congrega
tion.
A class leader rises up and requests j
the brother to leave ail, appointment, 1 1
would, responds the local brother, but |
tha distance, and 1 ain informed tliut j
you do not turn out, and should I go
my family could not get to church. Take j
up the next question, says the Elder:]
will you pass his character, anJ renew 1
bis license. License renewed, but lit-;
tie improvement promised or employed ; ]
I hope brother, says the Elder, you will
try und preach more, read, study, and
try to be useful ; the brother excuses
himself from all these things by re
vie wing the many culls of duty equally
as imperious.
hi order that these evils may be re
moved, 1 name them and otter to the
j brethren the institution of Sabbath
j shools as an effectual remedy. Get up
; a S.ibbath school at your church, you
lean take your wife und children with
j you, take charge of a bible class, and
I will improve your reading and studies,
i and will require all the sense you
j have to conduct the same, and will give
! you a large congregation to preach too,
j every Sabbath if ntcessarv, and they
| will be the right sort, young &. hopeful ;
I some are orphan children of intemper
jute fathers, why have no other opportu-
I uitv of improvement, who will rise up
’ and bless you, and God will convert
| their souls, make them pillars in the
I church; which will be a source of re
joicing to you to think that you were
counted worthy of having charge of a
bible class. But we Stave no books,
says the brother. What is toe reason ?
Is it because our people are so stingy ?
No. It is because we have have failed
;to give our children a taste for them ;
jou will lay out your money for Kos
suth hats, shoes, boots, lined with red
! Morroeeo for the boys, and Jenny Lind
bonnets, decorated with French luce
and ribbon, ear-rings and finger.rings
for girls, because they teu.-e you for
these tilings, and do not fur books, be
cause you have no Sabbath schools.
Many sf our children are growing
up ignorant of the bible, in this boasted
day of literature ; yet they have stud
ied bard, but not the bible. Hence, in
fidelity arid scepticism, with all th si r
accompanying evils, are destined to
control tne minds of many of them, un
less we tcacli them the bible. Many
of them are oft he same religious ten
ants that we are, yet cannot give a sin
gle reason for it.
It you have no books and cannot get
them, start your school any way ; use
your bibles; usk your class sued quts
lions as suggest themselves to your
mind; call on tiie class for the bible
proof. Keep posted up yourself in
these matters, lest you get stumped.—
The circuit on which I live, has lo
cal preachers enough in its bounds to
give one to each church for every 8 ib
hath, and to marry all that wish on the
Sabbath, and visit enough also.
We tri'-d il last April at Jones’
(Jump-ground, which was run down,
preachers all whipped out, for the want
of a congregation, except the rriissiona
rv lo the blacks. At first we bad but
eight or ten students, now our ranks
are swelled to over one bundled, and
tiie cry is, still they come. Any
preacher can have a good congregation.
We have a good linrary, take twenty
copys of the Visitor, all paid for, and
twenty-two dollars in the treasurer’s
hands.
Cold as the winter lias been, still we
float triumphantly above the breakers;
and last ilabbath, fifty students out, we
took .p a collection and the tittle bo) s
and girls dropp and in their dimes, the
right way to pay for books. Hut, best
of all, several have embraced rehg'ou,
joined the church, and arc still learn
mg the wavs of the Lord.

It is a frequent death. I'hro every

Runaway Illarriagos.
The Legislature ol'our State every J
winter attempts s me tinkering of out
laws respecting M iTriage, but general
ly succeeds in doing very little mis
chief. We urge no action at all on ;
the subject; but, whenever any change
shall hereafter be made in these laws,
we ask that a provision be inserted for
jibe discouragement and repression of
, Runaway Marriages.
The popular notions on this subject,
; fomented by the ‘yellow-covered’ liter
! aiuro of the day, are exceedingly lax &
mistaken. Tne young Miss who elopes
j Iron) the parental roof to marry suite
1 adventurer who was piobably unknown
|to bet last year, is often represented
jus a girl of rare spirit, who does a re
| markubly clever and admirable tiling,
i VVe hold, on the contrary, that, in a
I great majority of cases, her elopements
| is unwise, giddy, ungrateful, immodest,
j and evinces a lascivious appetite and
! reckless disposition. Why should she
desert and distress those who have love !,
nurtured and cherished her through all
her past years, to throw herself into the
aims of a comparative stranger, who
hus done nothing for tier, and whose
protestations ol affection have yet to
undergo the first trial? It is every way
unworthy of pure an J gentle maiden
hood to do so.
Wo can imagine but one excuse fur
her elopement—nainuly, the efforts of
parents or guardians to coerce her into
marrying someone she does nut love.
To avoid .-mob a fatli, she is justified in
running uwuy; for no parent lias or
ever bad a right lo constrain a daugh
ter to marry against Iter will. Hut
where the parents are wtlliug to wait,
the daughter should also consent to wait,
until her choice is assented to or she
attains her legal majority. Then, if
she chooses to marry in opposition to
her parent’s wishes, let her quit their
home,openly, frankly, in broad day
light an 1 in sucli manner as shall kind
ly but utterly preclude arty pretence that
her act is clandestine or ill-considered.
No one should be persuaded or coerced
to marry who she does not lovu; but
to watt a year or two for tiie assent of
those who Lave all her life done what
they could for her welfare, no daugh
ter should (s:eein a hardship.
There is some truth to be told about
tiie ‘common run, of masculine prow
lers by night about garden walls und
under bed-room windows, in quest of
opportunities to pour seducing fliiter
ies into the ears ol simple misses, but
we have not time to tell it now. As u
general rule, they are licentious, good
for-uothing adventurers, who would
much rather marry a living than work
lor ii, and who speculate on the chances
of-bringing the old folks round, after
a year or two. A true man would not
advise, much less urge, the woman lie
loved lo take u step which must iuevit.
ably lessen the reap )ct fell fur her, an J
violate the trust reposed in her hy those
who had loved and cherished her ail
her days.
Tire marriage of girls of fourteen to
seventeen years is a very prevalent
cause of personal and transmitted evil
and soil ling - Prematurely taxed with
the care mid nourishment of children,
their constitutions give way, and a:
thirty they ureulreuiy on tin: down fill
of its". Eighteen is the youngest age
at wiiicii any one should marry; twen
ty to twenty three is much belief.

NUMBER TWO.
Moral Suasion is not sufficient to com
])/ete the Temperance Reformation.
A glance at the history, the progress
and present state of the Temperance ;
reformation, will show tliut Moral Sua
sion has effected about all that it cun.—
We would not be understood as in the [
least degree, depreciating the power of
Mora’ Suasion. In the infancy of eve
ry reform, great care must be used, not
to ruin its prospects of success, by at
tempting measures too bold to be sus- ,
tuiiied by its feeble power. Moral suu ■
siou must be used to conciliate the pub.
lie, and to gain a foothold, from which j
it may make bolder strides.
Thus it lias been with the temperance
reforn ition. When it was first set on
foot, its supporters were few, and its op.
posers numberless and violent. To
have attempted legislating on the sub
ject at that time, when an overwhelm
ing tide of public opinion set in against
it, wouid Itavo been premature and ab
surd. In view of this evident fact, the
fathers of the reformation did Hot at
tempt legislation ; not because, as some
suppose, they saw anything objections
! ble m legislation itself, but because it
- was not adapted to the existing stale of
| the reform. They resorted to persua
sion, not as the only legitimate, but a.i
j the only available instrument.
I Moral suasion bus labored with mi
hiring zeal an I flattering success, until
it has planted the reform upon a firm
footing in public scndineut; and, now,
avast army of supporters behold, with
; pride, its banners lloattug upon every
! breeze. The motto “touch not, taste
I not, handle not,” lias been erected,
I like the brazen serpent in the camps of
i Israel; and many a miserable victim
I of “the still-worm” lias been persuaded
!to “look ar.d live!” Mora) suasion
has sent the smiles of peace, comfort
1 & plenty, to light many a home, around
which wretchedness had long hung
with the impenetrable gloom of the
drunkard’s curse. Thousands have
been redeemed from the viouol intem
perance, and thousands protected front
its unhallowed and pullutiug touch.—
j Society after society, organization ufivr
organization, lias sprung into life and
uctivity, and, with moral suasion for its
great lever, has rolled forward the ref
ormation. The decanter, which, thirty
years ago, was enthroned upon every
side-board, and swayed every social
circle, has been forced tu retire to the
den of the rumscller. The use of'ar
dent spirits, which was then esteemed
an essential mark of good breeding, is
no longer sustained by the prevailing
fashions of good society.
But lieie we are forced to pause.—
It cannot bo denied, that for more than
twelve mouths past, almost no progress
at all has been made by the existing
temperance organizations. In many
i towns and villages, where, two years
j ago, them were large and flourishing
Divisions of the Sons of Temperance,
| now but u mere handful teniaiu. Some
’ Divisions have ac.ually disorganized,
| and utterly extinguished their light.—
Why this flagging in the ranks ol “the
j cold Water army ? ’ Tell me, ye advo
! cutes of tile exclusive use of moral #ua-
I sion ! Is it because nothing is left to
I be done ? So fur are the facts to the
contrary, that, in some places, there is
more liquor used at this time, than was
used tltice years ugi. Instances could
j be mentioned, in which, net only the
mini. her of customers has materially in
creased, but the number of grogshops,
| which hud been very considerably re
duced by the influence of the Sous of
Temperance, two or three years ago,
has, since then, become as large and
flourishing as before.
What then, shall we say? Have
the Sous of Temperance become tiled
of their glorious work ? Have they
forgotten the motto, “Love, Purity and
Fidelity (” Is ..this the cause of so
much flagging f No! No! Let not
that noble baud, who have fuced the
thickest of the combat, and borne oil so
many trophies of glorious triumph, be
reproached with having lost their iute ,> -
est hi that cause which they so boldly
espoused ! They have flagged in their
progress, not because they have com.
pleted tlie work—not because they have
! lost their desire for its promotion —but
because they nave done about all tliut
they can do. They have acted like the
sturdy patriots of Bunker 11 ill, who at.
tet having twice rolled back the furious
tide of the Biitish army —after bathing
the soil with some of the noblest blood
that over animated a patriot s heart,
were at 1 isi compelled to give way for
the want of necessary amuiiition. Let
no man reproach them with cowardice
or treachery. Jltey have been checked
by a necessity, winch says to moral
suasion, “so far shall thou come, and no
farther !”
They have persuaded many to quit
di inking; but mny will no', be per
suaded. And us long a* there are any
wno will drink, there will Ijk those who
are ready to profit bv i\^ ,r
unless there is some powero, more stern
than moral suasion, to prevent. And,
on the other hand, na long as any are
allowed to sell, they hold out temptu
lions which will seduce many, Who,
w ithout temptation, would have escaped.
Thus expeiience teaches us, tliut moral
suasion cannot touch the grogshop.—
You cannot persuade the drumseller to
quit his infamous calling, as long as he
can make money by it. Here then, is
the effectual barrier to the further prog
ress of moral suasion. Through its
influence, indeed, intemperance may,
in a great measure, he banished from
the highest circles of society, and puli,
lie opinion may be hi ought to disapprove |
of the use of ardent spirits. But there |
will always be some to sustained the
dramshops ; and its powerful and infer- i
na! arts of seduction will be enliiely
beyond the influence of moral suasion, j
We kuow thul the advocates of the
exclusive use of mural suasion, are ac
customed to say, that ‘no great refbrun
lion can ho elf-cted in u day’; and that, I
if time be allowed them, they will vet
plant tlie stain.ard of tho temperance
reformation where it shall wave in un- ‘
disputed triumph. But let me put ike’
question fairly ; lias moral suasion been
at work only a day ? For nearly for- 1
ty years, have moral suasiouists, under
various organizations, labored with wis- !
dom and diligence, to promote this ref- j
onimtion. Surely, then, the advocate-; -
of legislation cannot be reasonable ac
cused of attempting “to Gleet a great
| reform in a day.” Qua instrument of
reform after another has been used, in
|un ascending series, until the pri sent
i time ; at and the cause seems now to cull
I fora new instrument, belter adapted to
the existing state of its advancement.—
That instrument seems to me to be leg*
j Dative authority. To uouu.se its udvo
'i cutes of trying “to effect a reform in a
1 day” is no less absurd, than to have uc
j cosed the Washingtonians of the same
thing, because they look a step in ad.
vunce of the existing “Temperance So
cieties,” and proclaimed “Total absti
nence from all intoxicating liquors.”
Moral suasion has hunted out the in
fernal beast of intemperance, mid, after
a long and hot pursuit, has brought him
to bay within bis own lair, the louthsome
grogshop. Here moral suasion must
slop. Now let the law enter, clothed
in the sacred panoply of right, uttering
tho voice of a frae and virtuous people,
and, with the flaming sword of justice,
, strip off this nnnsior’s brindled hide, in
! his very don !

License or IMo License ?
An essay on the question. I remark
first : tiiut tho law fi-r the retailing of
ardent spirits infringes one of the purest
elements of sound policy, viz; No law
iastiictly republican, that is not ol gen
eral ‘uiility. Now if this be a sound
principle, and we establish it by clear
demonstration, and tiien prove that the
license retail law is just such a law,
what ought lo be done? VVliat ought
to be done with an anti-republican law?
Assuming for the present, tliut the
principle indirect, l proceed to re
remark : That its soundness has been
overlooked by the people for so long a
lime, because vice (old ulchy) lias been
m 1 1 in ascendency, and as t conseqcnoe,
that class of citizens who have ever held
lo it, have bman competed lo submit Lo
an outrage upon one of the must beauti
ful and vital elements in their political
union. It may not be expressed, ver
batim, but it is in strict accordance
with sound policy, mid ought to be sa
credly regarded. Indeed, if that ele
ment (or whut is Iho same tiling, vir
tue and morality) be discarded from
the principles of our civil and political
Union, by the enactment of a law which
encourages vice, and the spilling ol
blood, liovv can consistency be preserved
if laws are enacted for the punishment
of crime ? If the lie-use retail law be
accessory to murders and other capital
olleitcos, which have been committed
by men while under the influence es
liquor, and which cause they are wont,
oftentimes, to oiler .is ail excuse for the
commission of crime, whereupon is not
tiie law repeal'd that says, “u mail
shall be banged if lie commit murder,”—
having annexed “bunged” if he be not
drunk when lie perpetrates tiie deed l
Wo like to see consistency preserved
m all things, and especially in the ucts
of the government. And it the act
“entitled an act” to grant license to
sucli as choose to pul doggeries ut every
nook and corner, to make men druuk
out of enough, to whip and abuse their
wives, run off the children, and then if
they not satisfi and, to go and cut th.-ir
neighbors’ tin n its, had been o insistent
with the uci “entitled un act” to han_>
men if they coin nit iimrd'., we won ‘J
tiimk tiie license retail law less ob
jection,.ule. But where is the consist
ency ?. Will tiie next legislature per
mit mis stigma, tliut lus so long dark
ened the luilre ot the oth rwise shilling
reputation of our •*
Keiupiro State ol Georgia ? Let it 1.0
! seen, —
On her brow, wisdom lot trp to show
! That license retail law shall bo no irtord.
- Like Maine on the North Eastern shore,
1 May she rid us ; and we’ll other’s lof deplore
’ fill all are free, and all are pure,
From woman’s tears, and brother’s gore.
So mote it be. And not only shall
thousands of lieu rtH made glad and hap
py now, —bless them us the benefaOtofs
of mankind; bu their nanus shall ba
bunded down to posterity as illustrious,
lor having wiped out a foul blot from
ii nation’s honor. Illustrious fame to
him, that has the chance of immortal
honor as a legislator tor tli people of
Georgia at tin ir next assembly. lllu*.
trions lame to him tliut feurlessly oppo
ses the infamous law, and votes its re
peal ; for, whether lie lias the pleasuro
ol seeing his name recorded with tho
n ijority or not, his puiu shall bo mitiga
ted, vwiii the consoling reflection that
he was defeated in u good cause j and
that, though if now fail of complete suc
cess, it will ultimately triumph, even
if it require the tug and struggle of a
seven years’ warfare.
But it is our duty to demonstrate the
truth und correctness of our proposition,
viz : no law is strictly republican tliut
is not of general utility.
A democratic republic is a common
wealth in which the sovereign power
is lodged with the people. The people
make and ext cute their own laws ; this
is done of course, through representa
! tives, but it mutters not as to out pres
ent purpose. Any law, therefore, en
! acted by the people, i. e. n majority by
) them, is, in un absolute sense, republi
can ; mid in this souse, we can find no
objection to the law under considera
tion. But, republic means primarily
interest. It carries with it the idua of
general utility, it is necessary, there
fore, for a law to be strictly republi
can, tliut it shall list only have beeu
enacted by the people, but that il shall
be of common and general benefit to
them. Thus wo see, that a law may
be republican in a absolute sense, mid
