And in his endeavors to subserve the cause of

o-operafiou of tho good; whatever their creed

oild up hilt the cause of froth, he priiftiwi so he

In regard to tho particular topics upon which
kis editorial labors will bo bestowed, lie forbeats
to enlarge at this time. His attention must ne- I
fcssavilv follow the course of events, and bo di
rected to those discussions which the exigencies
of the times may bring forth. He eannot how'
ever, avoid stilting, that the doctrine of nullifica
tion and disunion, nf laic so popular with many
politicians, receives his decided dissent, and ho
will strenuously endeavor to convince his readers
oftheir danger and absurdity, by the force of can.
did arguments and sound reasons. Ho professes
the creed of the great and good Washington, and
would cling to tho union of tho state* as a refuge
against many evils. As our national constitution
was established in the spirit ol mutual concession
and forbearance; so it can only bo maintained by
u. disposition to bear with patience the burdens
which it imposes, for the sako of the blessings
which it secures. We nre among those who be"
Sieve that tho advantages gained by our national
compact, greally ovoibalance tho trifling incon
veniences cxpjrienced under it; and our influ
ence shall be everted to encourage an attachment
to it, and tho institutions which have grow n up
under its fostering rare.
The influence of Thr Democrat shall also bo
decidedly excited on the side of Bcligion, Virtue
und Morality. For on this foundation alone,
must tho whole fabric of public and private hap
piness, peace and tranquility, re t. A abort lived
prosperity may sometimes attend a vicious com
munity; but profligacy and vice will most assur.

rho greatness of a slate which grants indulgence

of a tree with a worm at its root.
Asa powerful means of preserving pure and
uuadulteiatcd, our republican institutions, the
editor will endeavor to encourage public educa
tion, and tho dissemination of general informa
tion among tho people.
A reform in our j idiciarv system seems 6*
be called far by the principles both of jus'iec and
expediency, and tho subject will receive the early
attention of the editor.
And*in short he will endeavor to make Thr
Democrat a \ chicle of useful information nr>on all
subjects connected with the general welfare.
With these hints in regard to Ins views, lie
commits his new establishment to the candor of his
patrons Upon their favor must it depend fur

he rests his only claim to their indulgence.—

truc.tion of tiio union, and look upon the time as
near at hand, “when the relation of Great Br t-,
nin with this continent, will he enti ely altered;"

and lliouniuls who from tlicir dicta.i"o cannot

—and tho hearts oftlio/riends of liberty are filled
with angqish.. their hopes fail, and their strength
departs fiom them in the very hour of need;
while on tho other hand, tho arm of the tyrant is
every where strengthened; !:a beholds, as he im
agines, the great temple af freedom, built up at
such cost, already trembling on its foundations,
and about to tumbla into tho dust, not from any
outward violence, hut from its inherent weakness
and the discordance of its material;;. But wo has
ten to give the extract. —
“We have further extracts from American pa

the southern states. We hope they will be at
tentively read and considered Whenever tho
erisis of separation arrives, which we think not
far distant, there will be cnou<rh for all hands to
do. It will entirely alter tho relation of Great
Britain with this continent, and tho chango will
be to her immensely beneficial.”
The fact cannot, we think, be concealed, that
there are, in this country, a certain set of politi"
cians, who look with an evil oye upon all tha ope
rations of tho general government, and who lose
no opportunity of endeavoring to weaken its hold
on the hearts of the pcoplo That they would at
onco attempt its destruction, if they dared, may
he readily believed But being aware that it 13
yet strong in public opinion, that it yet rests on
the firm basis of tried affection, they aro now, as
I a preparatory step, engaged in the very laudiblo
woik of discoloring its operations, and exaggerat
ing tho weight of the light burdens which it no
ceusarily imposes on tho country. They are in
sidiously endeavoring to undermine the founda
tion upon which it rests, in order that, when their
plans are ripened, they may overthrow it at once,
by a concerted attack Their object is to puli
down the government of the nation, to sever that
chain which binds together in ono band of unity,
t he distant parts of the country, and create a num
ber of separate and distinct, belligerent and op-
posing communities, instead of the one united and
harmonious wholo, which we now behold. Tho
actors in this concerted scheme, v ill of course de
ny that such is their object. They will deny it,
because if tlioir designs aro exposed, t hey will he
defeated Their plans can only bo effected by
masking their real motives. They know, they
feel, that the people still love and vonerate the
government of their own choice ; thattkey liavo
still confidence in thoso institutions which were
«
built up by their father sages, and consecrated by
l lie blood of the mart} rs of the revolution; those
instilutiorrs under whose auspices they have al
ready enjoyed such signal prosperity. They per
ceive that the people are attached to the union,
that they look upon it as tho ark of their political
safety, and can foresee tho ovils which would cn
evitably overwhiom them, should they, with sac
velcgious hands, sever its holy bonds. Knowing
and feeling this, tlioy disguise their intentions
They profess tho utmost regard for the union ; b t
lose no opportunity of sowing jealousy and strife
between tho different sections of the country.—
They endeavor to alarm the fears of the South, by
asserting that the East, the North and tho West,
are couspiring agiinst her They irritate the pre
judices of tlie East by taunting remark and bitter
jests ; and they inculcate the doctrine that the in
terests of the different sections an clashing and
incompatible. They assert that the interests of
•he South arc separate and distinct from those of
t ho North and the East; and that tho West can
only prosper by lire* prostration of the essential
privileges cf her neighbors. They feign tho
greatest love for the union: but they encourage
toolings and inculcate doctrines, which would r. a- ;
der U a rope of sand should they become general
For it is fully to tupposc that this union cowwlfor
a moment lie endured, ifthe true interests of each
section, were truly inconipalibie: It shall be
our duty to show our readers that the great and
essential interests of this whole country, have ,
Itieen, ar.d may be, easily reconciled. That the

or checked the growth of one section, to increase
the consequence of another, has diffused its imni
f.dd blessings, with a lavish and un paring hand,
equally and impartially to every corner of our linp

was dotted w ith cabins and carnfields ; and a good
safe market roa.l bad taken tho*p!aec of tho wild
Indian path over which I had roilc in peril, thr< tgn
the difficult and dangerous passes of the mountain.
Towards nightfall I arrived at the cabin of an o'.d
acquaintance who bad lately removed from the
older settled parts of the state He had just fet
tled down in the woods, and all around bore the ap"
p nranccof n lure in her roughest attire; but there
: was a freshness and grandeur in the scenery,winch
mniftensatrd for tho softer and mellower tints
of a more cultivated district. Tho first settlers
of anew country are deprived of many comforts,
which time Wily can gather around our dwelling.
Yet my f.iend had brought with him into the w 1-
an active spirit, and the habit of industry
xnd perseverance ; and a rich harvest ol corn wu s
ready to reward his toil. Situated in tho rcccsse 3
of the bills, where a mountain creek washed the
hordets of some efthu rielicst meadow land I had
lately seen. Uiu wife was the very.pattern for a
farmer's dime. (>uiet, affable, and comely; she
directed and took part with tho servants in their
household labors, and was herself the most active
of them all. Kike most new settlers, my Ttiond
joined something nfilie hunter to the firmer, and
was enabled on that day to add a brace of wild
turkey's to the evening’s fire. Early ! !'.e mix 1
morning I took leave of my i> lad host, and set out
on my way to thi J place This is tho county site
for anew county, but one which has already be
come more populous than many of the older. It is
said to furnish sonic of the finest lands in tho
state, and contains a respectable and thrifty popu
lation. The village site tics been ssleciod with
much taste, and tho rpirit of enterprise is every
where seen in its improvement. Besides an ele
gant brick Court House nearly finished, tho place
contains two large and commodious taverns, well
furnished and kept; and nearly a dozen Stores, and
many handsome dwelling houses.
The Superior Court of the county is in session,
and I consequently had a very fair opportunity of
observing a specimen of the population of Troup
County. For besides the officers of tho court, the
members of the grand and petit juries, clients,
witnesses, and suiters, and others having business
with the law ; the sessions of the Superior Court
draw a great part of the population of the county
to the village for a short space during its term.—
It affords a substitute for a country fair, where
tho buyer and seller ntay meet upon common
ground to the mutual convenience of both Accor
ingly, you seethe thrifty farmer, endeavoring to
make sale of his surplus corn fodder, and he who
is unthrifty, and has every thing to buy. There
is the horse drover from Tennessee or Kentucky, i
and here also, is tho Southron, clamoring about j
tho tariff, ami yet neglecting lo raise his own
s'oc.k. Here is the old dama with h?r ginger
bread cart, and barrel of sotir cidor, and there
goes a bevy of country Lasses rigged out in tlioir
nnte-deluvian straw bonnets, and new calicoe*.
In this Jersey you see the hatter retailing his furs

calling upon his old customers lo como and buy Iris

Thoso low buildings around tho square are grog
shops, where may be seen farmers spending the
profits of a year’s toil, in half-pints ; rnd where
I debts aro contracted which carries many a fair
1 estate under ihc hammer, and sends an amiable
wife houseless into the world, with a half-score of
j children with nothing but wretchedness for a pat*
! rimony. Before the door of one, a row is just
! kicked up about politics—chairs and bottles are
j flying— knives aro drawn, and the air rings with
j the clangor of weapons, and the confusion of voi

deavoring lo convince his constituents that he is
i the only man who can carry through the house a
bill to rai-e the price of cotton. From that stump
a candidate for Congress is harraffging tho peo

he is interrupted by he braying of a jackass, and
most of hjsandicnce leave hint to gaze after a stud

J OK Till*. DEMOCRAT.
A SHOUT SERMON.
From the l)r:,h of (i.uy Dominic the Dcit'ov.
“ And the Devil templed Eve with an apple.”
Tho conclusion, my readers, which I have
drawn from this short extract from scriptural his
tory is, either that our fu st parents were much
more fond of apples Ilian mankind am in our day,
or, that the long intercourse which tlie Dovil has
held with the inhabitants of this earth, has taught
him much cunning, and improved his subtility
lor, h id the Devil an important object now to cf.
feet with man, do you think he would attempt to
prevail upon him with an apple? No, gentle rea
der, lie would take a much more effectual meas
ure *. he would coax him with A DRAM 1
Apples, no doubt, have in their way, stood tho j
devil in good stead, and done him important scr- j
vice; and they do so still; but then it is when their I
juice lias been converted into eider, or distilled into !
Brandy. But for plain simple cnplcs, why tho
greatest fiat in Georgia, would laugh at the devil*
should he attempt to carry an important point with
hint, by tho offer of such a costless bribe. The do
vil therefore, lias either grown wiser, or apples
were much more an object of detiro in the primi
tive state of the world, than they are at this day.
The dovil in those latter times, never thinks of
seducing mankind into great crimes, with apples,
110 has discovered a more powerful instrument
Now when he seeks tho distraction of a mortal,
the damnation of a soul, —ho places before h in a
jug of whiskey, a bottle of brandy, a fiasl; of wine,
or something of that sort. And so enticing is tho
bait held out, that iie seldom fails cf accomplish,
ing his ends. 1 dare sav, my readers, must of you
have sometime in your liy c *, boon near a slaugh
ter house ; amay have seen the butchers boy
with a basket of salt, calling into his pen a flock of
sheep ; and noticed how the heedless animals for a
fovv giains of the precious bait, would rush bleat
ing and bellowing into tho shambles, already reek
ing with the blood of their kindred. Thus, mo
thinks, I see host after host of besotted wretches
careering and bellowing after Beelzebub, and wil
fully following him into the groat slaughter pen of
satan —and all for the sake of a drum f
A drain is now tho groat engine in the hands of
the devil—he effects all his high plans against tho
peaco and happiness of mankind, through its in
strumentality. Docs lie wish the harmony of so
ciety disturbed, good order overthrown, and tho
tranquility of a town or ncighborhohd distroyed?
he has only to despatch a few of his agents, with
their quarts and their half pints, and the great
business is speedily etlbctcd. Docs ho wish a
murder, a rape, or a robbery perpetrated? a gill of
whiskey will do it. Blasphomy and sacrilege can
be bought for a single drink. And duels may be
concocted from a few bottles of port. In short,
does the devil desire to have any act of desperate
violence planned, any scliomo of atrocious wick
edness accomplished, let him oxcite the passions
ofhisdupo with a julip or a cocktail, and it is
done.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.
Many people are in the habit of sneering at these
societies, and of endeavoring to laugh such of
their friends out of countenance, as may be dis
posed to join them. They talk as if the joining
of ono of these societies was equivalent to an ac
knowledgment of one’s incapacity to refrain from
diunkoncss. They pretend to be friendly to tho
cause of Temperance—they pretend to ho tem
perate themselves —yet they sneer at any system-'
alic effort to promote that cause which they pro
tend to have so much at heart. Now such indi
viduals know little of human nature, or they are
insincere in the professions which they make
Man is a gregarious animal, and lovos to follow a
crowd. Hu is naturally indisposed to walk alone, j
even in the right way. Let a concourse bo col
lected, and individuals will fail in, who have no
previous vocation to the object of tho gathering.
Now. it is a serious truth, that for many years
past, the general tendency of our society has
been towards intcinporcncc. .Men of Learning,
of respectability and piety, have been in the habit
of encouraging tho uso of ardent spirits, by indulg
ing in it, to a considerable extent themselves
They have brought it into tlioir families—they
have poured it to their ftiends, to their children,
and domestics. Its use lias become fashionable
on most public occasions. Is it not to bo expect
ed thereforo, that our youth, early habituated to
its use, should find it as familiar lo tlioir mouths
us household woras. And all appearance proves
that few can adopt its familli ir uso, and withstand
its abuse. Upon tho evils of intemperance 1 need
not enlarge. All aro ready to admit thorn to be a
public and private calamity, if then, such be tho
tacts, is it not necessary to adopt some combined
and active measure to remove them ? and will not
the influence of twenty or a hundred men, be more
effectual than the solitary example of one ? From
the known principles of human nature, we might
hope that it would; and l may safely say, that
tho experience of the past, fully justifies this hope.
VVlieto this mflueiv o lias boon uciivolly exerted,
much good has boon experienced. And my own
observation has convinced me, that even in this
state, tho exertions of Temperate Societies liavo
been abundantly blessed, not only in reclaiming
old and confirmed tipplers, but in narrowing tho
circle of. moderate dilookers, from whose ranks
the great army of druukards is annually recruited.
For several years past, my avocations have often
called me into different parts of the state, and 1
have had cause to lament the shocking au l de
praved statu ol public morals in this particular.—
e-eaicely a crowd could be collected on any occa
sion, but drinking seemed to bo the important bu
siness of a gieat portion of the people. Art courts'
nnd musters and convivial meetings, iutoinpur
ence was openly and unblutliiiigly indulged in,
by individuals who ocupied commanding stations
in society, and w it > otherwise valued themselves
upon tho respectability of their characters. But
since tho organization of Temperate Socie
ties, I am gratified in being able to sav that a
great rh luge lias already been effected, in dis
triels within the circle of their influence, j u «
some of tho older towns, formerly note, ions for
tlm extent of drinking and dissipation., it is now*
rare to meet wi ! h a drunkard. Thu numerous
grogshops which formerly lined the public roads
and were almost daily thronged with tipplers'
