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 ou funds,
and to exert yourselves for its greater cir
culation. Come, brethren, sisters, friends,
be up and doing! W.

liciting a renewal. The times absolutely
require that this rule should be rigidly
adhered to by us.

the city had subscribed for the

THE BANNER 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; nor
unless upon reasonable assurance that a
better will be established.
3. Protection to person or property is
i the duty of Government ; and a Govern
ment which, knowingly and persistently
denies, or witholds from the governed such
protection, when within its powder, releases
them from the obligation of obedience.
1 4. No citizen shall be deprived of life,
liberty or property, except by due process
of law'; and of life or liberty f only by the
judgment of his peers.
5. The writ of “ habeas corpus 1 ' shall
not be suspended, unless, in case of rebel
lion or invasion, the public safety may re
quire it.
G. 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
bv reason of his religious belief.
*B. 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.
9. The right of the people to appeal to
the courts; to petition Government on all
matters of legitimate cognizance; and
peaceably 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. -
13. No person shall be put in jeopardy
of life or liberty more than once for the
same offence.
13. No conviction shall work corruption j
of blood, or general forfeiture of estate. !
14. Excessive bail shall not be required,;
inor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel an*?
! unusual punishments inflicted.
15. The power of the courts to punish j
| for contempt shall be limited by legisla-j
| 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;
j fundamental law are void, and the Jndi-j
iciary shall so declare them.
17. Ex post facto law’s and laws impair
j ing the obligation of contracts, and retro
! active legislation injuriously affecting tho
I right of the citizen, are prohibited.
10. 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
jonly by the people, and shall be exercised
jonly 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 arp specified in the ?
grant of powers.
21. In case of necessity, private ways,;
; and the right to earn* water over land, for
j the purpose of mining and draining, may!
j be granted upon compensation being first
paid; and with this exception, private;
j property shall not be taken, except for pub-1
| lie use, and then only upon just compen-1
i sation—such compensation, except in cases;
jof pressing necessity, to be first provided
: and paid
22. The right of the people to be secure j
in their persons, houses, papers, and affects,
| against unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated ; and no warrant shall
■ issue but upon probable cause, supported ’
sby oath or affirmation, and particularly
* describing the place or places to be searched, j
land the person and things to be seized.
23. Martial law shall not be declaredi
j except in cases of extreme necessity.
24. Laige standing armies, in times of
'peace are dangerous to liberty.
| 25. No soldier shall, in time of peace,
; be quartered in any house without the con
sent of the owner; nor in time of war, but
in a manner prescribed by law.
26. The person of a debtor shall not be!
detained in prison after delivering bona jidt |
jail his estate for the use of his creditors, j
27. The enumeration of rights herein;
contained shall not be construed to deny to!
the people any inherent rights which they!
have hitherto enjoyed.
28. This declaration is a part of the Con
stitution, and shall nexcr l>? violated under!
any pretence whatever.

Brother Jesse H. Campbell has been la
