The Banner.
We take the opportunity to appeal to our
Banner friends. As you know, it has been
a hard struggle to keep any religious paper
going these war times. But you, your
neighbors, and soldier kindred, need The
Banner. Money is now plenty all over the
country, and there is no excuse for Chris
tians to do without a religious paper. —
When the war is over you will still need
it. Now then is the time to send on funds,
and to exert yourselves for its greater cir
culation. Come, brethren, sisters, friends,
bo up and doing! W.

BANKER AND BAPTIST.
STATE OF GEORGIA.
Declaration of Fundamental Principles.
1. The fundamental principles of Free
Government cannot be too well understood,
nor too often recurred to.
2. God has ordained that men shall
live under government, but as the forms
and administration of civil governments
are in human, and, therefore, fallible hands,
they may be altered, or modified, whenever
the safety or happiness-of the government
requires it. No government should be
changed for light or transient causes; noi
unless upon reasonable assurance that a
better will be established.
O. Protection to person or property is
the duty of Government; and a Govern
ment which, knowingly and persistently
denies, or witholds from the governed such
protection, when within its power, releases
them from the obligation of obedience.
4. No citizen shall be deprived of life,
liberty or property, except by due process
of law ; and of life or liberty, only by the
judgment of his peers.
5. The writ of “habeas corpus'' shall
not be suspended, unless, in case of rebel
lion or invasion, the public safety may re
quire it.
<>. The right of the people to keep and
bear arms shall not be infringed.
7. No religious test shall be required for
the tenure of any office; and no religion
shall be established by law, and no citizen
shall be deprived of any right or privilege
by reason of his religious belief.
S. Freedom of thought and opinion, free
dom of speech, and freedom of the press,
are inherent elements of political liberty.
But while every citizen may freely speak,
write, and print, on any subject, he shall be
responsible for the abuse of the liberty.
1). The right of the people to appeal to
the courts; to petition Government on all
matters. ,of legitimate cognizance; and
peaceabiy.to assemble for the consideration
of any matter of public consent—shall
never be impaired.
10. For every right there should be pro
: vided a remedy ; and every citizen ought
to obtain justice without purchase, without
denial, and without delay —conformably to
the laws of the land.
11. Every person charged with an offence
against the laws of the State shall have the
privilege and benefit of counsel:
Shall be furnished, on demand, with a
copy of the accusation, and with a list of
the witnesses against him :
Shall have compulsory process to obtain
the attendance of his own witnesses :
Shall be confronted with the witnesses
testifying against him, and
Shall have a public and speedy trial by
an impartial jury.
12. No person shall be put. in jeopardy
of life or liberty more than once for the
: same offence.
13. No conviction shall work corruption
| of blood, or general forfeiture of estate.
14. Excessive bail shall not be required,
nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and
unusual punishments'inflicted.
15. The power of the courts to punish
for contempt shall be limited by legisla
tive acts.
15. A faithful execution of the laws is
essential to good order, and good order in
society is essential to liberty.
17. Legislative acts in violation of the
fundamental law are void, and the Jndi
eiary shall so declare them.
17. Ex post facto laws and laws impair
ing the obligation of contracts, and retro
active legislation injuriously affecting the
right of the citizen, are prohibited.
It). Laws should have a general opera
tion ; and no general law shall be vested in
a particular case by special legislation ex
cept with consent of all persons to be af
fected thereby.
20. The right of taxation can be granted
only by the people, and shall be exercised
only to raise revenue for the support of
Government, to pay the public debt, to
provide for the common defence, and for
such other purposes as are specified in the
grant of powers. •
21. In case of necessity, private ways,
and the right to can-) water over land, for
the purpose of mining and draining, may
be granted upon compensation being first
paid; and with this exception, private
property shall not be taken, except for pub
lic use, and then only upon just compen
sation—such compensation, except in cases
of pressing necessity, to be first provided
and paid
22. The right of the people to be secure
In their persons, houses, papers,and affects,
I against unreasonable searches and seizures,
{shall not be violated ; and no warrant shall
! issue but upon probable cause, supported
by oath or affirmation, and particularly
describingthe place or places to be searched,
and the person and things to be seized.
23. Martial law shall not be declared
j except in eases of extreme necessity.
j 24. Latge standing armies, in times of
{peace are dangerous to liberty,
j 25. No soldier shall, in time of peace,
! be quartered in any house without the con
*seut of the owner; nor in time of war, but
in a maimer prescribed by law.
20. The person of a debtor shall not be
detained in prison after delivering bona fide
all his estate for the use of his creditors.
27. The enumeration of rights herein
contained shall not be construed to deny to 1
the people any inherent rights which they
have hitherto enjoyed.
28. This declaration is a part of the Con
stitution, and shall never be violated under
any pretence whatever.
Bonner for the Soldiers.
The religious paper furnishes a cheap
and available means of reaching them; and
our brethren and sisters should come to
the rescue before it is too late. What say
our readers ? Shall the sick and wounded
soldiers have The Banner t
State Evangelist.
Brother Jesse IT. Campbell has been la
boring as State Evangelist, and recently as
Colporteur among our soldiers on the coast.
The committee regret that the income of
the Permanent Mission Fund is so small as
to allow no appropriation this year. W e
can only urge that our brethren will make
contributions to the support of brother
Campbell, and continue him in this import
ant field of missionary labor. —[Extract
