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 from Report of Executive Committee , Geor gia Baptist Convention.
