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. Special Notice. Letters containing remittances —-also containing articles for pub lication, or other business connect ed with the Paper , should be ad dressed to the ‘‘Banner & Bap tist,” Atlanta , Ga , and not to the Editors by name, /or they are frequently absent. • THE cISI SYSTEM. The BANNER and BAPTIST is regularly discontinued to all mail sub scribers at the expiration of their sub scription. We can make no exception to this rule. A printed slip is put tn the paper of each subscriber two weeks pre vious to the expiration of his subscrip tion, notifying him of this fact, and so liciting a renewal. The times absolutely require that this rule should be rigidly adhered to by us. Notice to City Subscriber*. The time for which many in the city had subscribed for the Banner, has expired, and we re spectfully solicit a continuance oi their patronage. As we intend to adhere to the OASHC SYSTEIM, we trust all who have heretofore favored us, will come forward and renew their subscriptions, and I thus enable us to sustain the pa-1 P er ! Back Numbers. We shall be obliged to any one who can send us numbers of The Banner covering he time from the first number in March to he last number in May, ISA 2. Mokkt due the Office, may he unt by mail at our risk—always mail it in presence oj a friend, (other tlmr the Postmaster ,) or pro cure t friend to mail tt for you—never reg ister. • Zjgr Our terms of Subscription, $3 00 /* An*m, always in advance. 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. Banner for I lac* Soldier*. The religious paper furnishes a cheap and available means of reaching them; aud our brethren and sisters should come to the rescue before it is too late. What say our readers t Shall the sick and wounded; soldiers have The Banner f State Evangelist. Brother Jesse H. 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. We 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.
