Whcie ate the moa of ‘76 ?
When wo ; >k over the record of llt<*
past history of our country, mi l con
template the noble solf-sucnficiug net*
of our sainted fathers, we are forced to
exclaim in view of the general degen.
■vrsev o! our people, where are the men
wt *7(5 ? Where are the men who
could sacrifice self, with all of its lust
ful propi n-ities, covetousness, and mil.
bilious desires for the common good of
a common people ? Where uro the
heaven horn souls who had but to know
the interests and good of their country,
und knowledge was immediately made
practical by action ? Where are the
men whose embodiment <d oharactei
was infused with that (Jibrullic firmness
that gave point and force to every word
nnd at? Witere are the men, who in
defence of wright, could face the hypo
crite and tell him of his little pecadil
loes, ooul 1 collar the slick tongued
politician nnd tell him he was a pre
tending demagogue, would hover a
round persecuted innocence with tn<
uplifted hand of assistance, would ligiu
fir justice und ploud lor truth, though
earth might swarm with vicious devils?
Gone, for.ver gone! Tiicir collined
bodies are smouldering in the dust ;
their ransomed spirits sheeted in heav
en’s pure light, whilst lb* ir degenerate
progeny, like affrighted devils, ikulk in
-adaik w ildorness of vice to avoid u con
trast with their noble examples. Our
search is like llie tried Lot’s in Sodom
for such characters. Now un i llnu ,
like angels visits, there looms up our
on the arena of the age as a beacon
light, working out the pathway of the
tried v< t -roti ot ‘7(i- Hut a painful con
Jeasion must yield the fuel, tJiat a ma
jority of the age, without the hope or
desire of leuvmg lor a future world
such extmplary biogiaplih -a as their
fathers, have contented themselves with
gliding their base passions with tin-
Iruits of their labor, and are w illing to
trust to a blind future to develop*) a
force of circumstances to reclaim their
children. Oh, that we may soon have
among Us a lew patterns of these old
substantial*. Men who can look you
111 the eye, and without fear of wound
ing feelings, say no. Men who can
raise their heads among men, ami if a
community is in vice, lell them of their
.meanness. Men w hose lips refuse to
give utterance to lulsehood. whose
words are as good as their oaths. Men
who are not us licklo as “Apiil’s sun
shine,” hut whose decision of character
enables them to think lor themselves
and have opinions of their own. h is
lo be feared that this money-loving age
is rapidly loosing sight of every thing
but the most rapid means of attaining
its object. Jl this is to be accomplished
by a sacrilioe of principle, let principle
go ! If conscience is a stumbling bl ick
on the road to ueulth, apply immediate
ly the searing iron ! If u dear friond i
is by any menus a draw back, s ver
soon every tie that binds them together; ‘
lit a word, if the attainment of mis ob
ject mukesit necessary for me to per
secute the uiiioeceiit, oppress the noor,
reject the calls of charity, and as a
last resort, become a thief ana u liar, j
all that is dear to my soul’s eternal des
tiny shall be made subsidiary to the
realization of my bean’s dearest idol,
coders filled w ith precious gold ! We
trust that the age may produce alter
cults with power to turn the rivers of
Peneus ami Alpheus through this Au
gean stable and cleanse nos its moral
corruption.

The Maine Law. —A strong dibit is
being made in Pennsylvania to secure,
dming lie- coining session of the Leg
islature, the passage of an act similar
in its provisions to the celebrated Maine
Law, No man, who honestly ex
presses bis sentiments, cun hevitate to
declare that the passage of such an act,
and ns rigid enforcement by the officers
of the law. would be of vast service in
improving the morals and manners of
thousands of our most useful citizens,
in tiie city of Philadelphia, wo are
: ashamed to say, the vice of drunken
ness is fearfully increasing; and this is
sadly manifest to the actual observa
tion of every iiiun, from the enormous
1 number of grnggerb s which are spring,
ing up like mushrooms in every ward
of tiie city . The most in -laiicli ily fact
connected with this subject, is that .he
str< ngest support these places receive
is from tin* young men, the very flower
of our population. Go into any of
. these places, and y r ou will find that nine
tenths of the persons haunting them are
j less than thirty yours of age—a vast
i majority not over twenty. Now this
is h-arful, and calls aloud Ibr restrain
ing measures to check tin* tide which
is thus sweeping tiie future hope of the
j State to destruction. Whether the
■Maine Law will accomplish al! that its
. warm friends expect, we know not, but
this we do know, that we go for it un
derMile conviction that no other reme

forth such strong opposition Irom the

this musl be llie shae which pinches the

Governor's Message.
We have given a hasty perusal to the
Me*=age of Gov. Cobb, at the opening of
; tl c Legislature. We find in it many things
to approve; and somethings, particularly in
t|,„ recommendations, that we think of
doubtful expediency. At this time, we
. will only advert to the subject of the ‘ Pub
lic Printing.” This whole matter, for a ae
ries of years, has been bunglingly managed.
Ilotli the Printing of the Laws and Journals,
and the Advertising in the paprs of the
. State, lias been conducted wrong, nt an uii
: necessary expense, and very liltleto the iu
, tcrest of the citizens of the State, for whose
benefit, the expense of printing and pub
lishing has been ostensibly incurred. For
several years we have been tempted to point
out the i rrors of the system pursued, and
|to suggest a more perfect and equitable
plan, even at the ri-k of being considered
an intruder, by our brother craftsmen of
! tiie political press. Did we have much faith
that the ‘-collected wisdom of the -State,”
would give a moment’s consideration to the
suggestions of a paper that never dabbles
in politics, we might yet attempt the execu
tion of our design.
But we adverted to the Governor’* Mes
sage, for a different object from any yet
suggested. The opening paragraph is in
1 the following words :
“Jn the discharge of my constitutional
duty, 1 proceed to lay before you such mat
: ters as should receive your attention during
the present session of the General Assem
bly
Now gentle readers—-patriots, philan
thropists and Christian* —what is to be
thought of the fact, that in the whole list of
“matters that should receive the attention
of the General Assembly,” not one line or
j syllable is to be found upon the defects of
! the License system, authorizing the Liquor
Traffic! Is there a subject in the Message,
! or has there ever been a subject agitated in
the State of Georgia, of more vital interest to
her citizens, than the subject to authorizing
by law, the traffic in ardent spirits us a bev
erage? We do not think there is a “mat
; ter” in the whole message, but dwindles in
jto insignificance, when compar. and to this
ono, and yet the Governor of Georgia, in
the “discharge of a constitutional duty,’’
passes over it with a death-like silence !
How long shall this slate of things exist ?
it is for the professed friends of temperance
to determine. When temperance men learn
to respect themselves, and let their princi
ples govern their votes at the ballot box,
then will our rulers have clearer views of
“constitutional duties,” and “matters that
require their attention !”
Hie luxury of being a true temperance
man, cannot he appreciated by a lukewarm
or indifferent espouser of the cause. Wc
have received three or four letters, tlie past
week, enclosing tiie advance pay for the
Banner for the next year, and expressing
renewed attachment for and zeal in the
cause of Tempera nee, and declaring that
they would not be without the Banner for
themselves and their families, for ten dollars
a year. We love to work for such persons,
and we confidently believe, if the Banner
were attentively read bv all i,s subscribers,
there would be no need of our making black
marks, to remind of unpaid subscriptions
and that the cause itself would be i.i a far ;
more prosperous condition. We emigrate- ‘
late our fiicitd Thompson, the writer of tiie
following letter, nnd have no doubt that the
promise to him ami his sons, will be fulfilled
to the Utter:
RANisoi.ru Cos, Ga.,Get. 27th, ’53.
Mr. liraitlly: —For the first time in my
life, (though upwards of fifty years of age,)
I write these lines, which if you think prop
er, please put in tile* Banner.
My reasons for writing are such as few*
other men in Georgia can give. God has
bestowed on me a blessing, in giving me
six sons. My youngest is nearly six years
of age, and my eldest to day is twenty-one.
The great favor which induces me to write,
is this : He has enabled mo thus far, to
bring up all these, my sons, w ithout one
drop of intoxicating liquor of any kind, as a
beverage.
Bio Bratitly, will you wonder at me, if 1
am proud of this! I think not. Here is my
sou, who to-uiorrow steps out into the
theatre* ot this world, to act and do for him
self, und has never yielded to that greatest i
of all t, luptations, though tried, both by
persuasion and reward; —yes, the grog
drinkers have vainly tried to hire him to
drink with them. Language would fail to
describe my gratitude to God for this favor.
1 have been told (even by members of
the church,) that 1 was doing wrong in not
allowing my children “to take* a little now
ami llien,” for they would L>e more apt to
drink w hen they grew up. Now Ido not
believe it; my children have never believed !
it; nor does any one else of good sense be
lieve it. No! my children thank God mid
me, that 1 hove never hired them, with su
gnared or honeyed dram, (as many others
have.) to be drunkards. But after all,
should any of them become so. 1 will be
clear myself iii this matter , lor* I rely on
this promise : “Train up a child in the wav
he should go; and when 111* is old, he will
not depart from it.” Oh, may we fully re
alize the promise in this respect.
