— —' — L EDITORIAL COMMUNICATIONS. |i The Dialogue between the Washingtonian ; and the Rumseller—concluded. I R. S. The idea of having the disgust- < ng carcass of a dead drunkard fastened o me throughout eternity, has haunted ny imagination, sleeping and waking iver since our last interview —What is he terrible reality you would indicate by his shocking figure ? W. It is, that, as God so loved man tind as to send his beloved son to suffer (bleed and die, to save them from their kins, they who contravene this work and labour to retain men in their sins, are in s open and daring rebellion against the be nevolence of God, and must necessarily, nless stronger than He, subject them elves to the most direful punishment of ,-hich we can form any conception :—it s, that, as He so tenderly loves those rho are saved from their sins, as to pro nise rewards to all who shall give them veil a cup of cold water, and to threaten readful afflictions to those who in any t-ay ensnare and offend them,* they who ndcavor to entice them to sin, are heap ig up for themselves a vengeance, the Rorrors and terrors of which no language) Wan describe, and therefore we are com [ jelled to appeal to Paul’s figure, and tc Av—4 Who shall deliver them from tlu jodv of this death ?” I R. S. This awful view of human re j»v>nsihility utterly confounds me ! aad I Bail see no escape from its truth ! Wt Escape ! no? You could as soon scape from the jaws of all-devourin' 1 eath. lie who lives for selfish ends at tinablc, only through mischief to others i living for an agonizing doom, more orrible than that which the victims of |i [czentius and other ancient tyrants en. ured. R. S. But is there no escape from this I oom? Or are wc, like Macbeth, “in lood, stept in so far, that, should wt | rade no more, returning were as tedious i sgo o’er ?” IT. There is unquestionably great dis- Ilculty in your return ; but the longer it is icstponed the greater tho difficulty, for wery day adds to the crime, ignorance aan t and suffering, w hich your traffic auses. But remember, it is return, or— 'the body of this death” ! Oh ! let this hought induce you at once, to stop your rade of death—to make all the amends n your power—and to fly to him who ;ave Paul deliverance—He will not be css kind to you! Let mo add one other I'%ord of encouragement —they who re 3rm from their vices and redress the >'rongs they have done, arc the greatest ion in the world—Buonaparte and Alex nder dwindle to mere pigmies when ompared to them ! H. “ I was gratified wiirn you'made the original! uggnstion lor a State Convention. I was ais 1 le.iaed to sec 111 at your Brother oi' the Baniiei! ois so prompt to improve upon your hint in get ' ing up a Convention at Penfieid.” Here, Messrs. Editors, are two sen ences from you paper of August 19th. ’heir correctness is endorsed by your orrespondent “ C,” who is very correct v “supposed” by the last Banner to be Sqr. Chapman.” I will not stop to discuss this breach -f Editorial propriety, in first supposing rho the author of a Communication is ind then indulging in uncalled for and inbecoming personalities towards one vhomight not have been the writer: nor rill I retort in either tho spirit or lan- Tiage of the Banner. It would neither e consonant with my feelings, norinac ordance with the uniformly calmn and ignified character of the Washingtoni n ; and besides I greatly question wheth- Tthe game would be v:orth the ammunition . The above remarks from my Comma icationof August 19th Messrs. Editors -ere merely casual—intended mainly to xcite to action and energy the friends fa State Convention, and not to moot le questions which has been so unne issarilv sprung l )y the Banner. The hole article from which they were ta lin gras mild and dispassionate— mark- Iby calmness and civility. Nothing nor mal or offensive can be fairly attributed - them by any high minded and unbiased Ivocate of a dignified cause. The in rence must be the result of personal eakness and conscious guilt. I consider the matter of no materia' 1 iportance ; but as the Banner has made e issue, I must say that I thank him for rnishing the proof of the perfect cor 1 ctness of my first sentence, which gives the W ashingtonian the credit of the iginal proposition. He says the sug- 1 stion was made by “ Watchman” un- s rdateof May 21st—that it was discussed i jin the Penfieid Society and finally'pub-h jlished in the Banner of June 15th. He 1 , Admits that a similar call is contained in , the Washingtonian of June 17th, i.e. one day before the Banner reached Augusta! The proposition therefore was original J and my statement is correct both in sub- < stance and letter. All the Banner can ] make out with his proofs and his passion. r is only the ca-lemporancous publication, and though his correspondents may have suggested it and though it may have been 1 discussed prior to tho 15th June, that 1 does not impair the originality of the < Washingtonian ; for without any know- j ledge of what was doing in the interior, ( similar suggestions were made and sim ilar discussions had at the very first meet- I ing of the Editoral Committee early in ' June! So much for the truthfulness of my j . first sentence. In regard to the second 1 would be almost inclined to acknowl edge myself in error but for one circum stance. The Editor of the Banner is . death upon statistics —a very Dilworth pin figures—and he moves along swim mingly in his dates till he comes to the, letter of “Sam Jones,” where he is al fault and prints it June—,lß43.!! Did that letter have any date? it' so why suppress it? Why attempt to mislead i and deceive! The truth is this letter is : n reply to “ Watchman” published June ! loth. Sarn Jor.cs lives according to the Banner “ 60 miles distant”—and that pa aer is published only once a fortnight,— he letter therefore could not have been written or published before the last of the month! in fact it is "hot certain that , it was published before the 12th of luiy! The Editor’s figures we “sup mfee” would not prove, therefore, school i boy-like, he left them out! Shame on - -such a lecturer on truth and honesty—a man who can’t defend a just cause b\ fair means cannot he admitted as a mor il teacher until he can present certifi cates to shew that his practice coincides ' with his professed principles. Messrs. Editors, I am done with this matter. I have no cause of grievance » towards the Banner, or its sapient Editor. 1 ain a total stranger to the one and have never seen more than three or four Nos. of the other. I am willing to “live and ' lie” without a more intimate acquaint tnee with either—for from the specimen> before me, the precarious and languish ing condition of our cause in Georgia, is no longer a mystery. Ifyou have erred at all, it has been in giving the man and his paper infinitely more credit and more ■ importance than they deserve. Those . who have been raised under the lash sel ( domcan appreciate the gentler influence of the rein. You have heard of “ the tempest in the tea-pot,” and how the little thing spouted and sputtered precisely in pro ■ portion to its frailty and its want of ca . pacify to retain its steam. Let me ex hort the Banner, in the future adjustment of his safety valve, to remember the frail y and worn out condition of his copper .arid to take good care lest there should be a foul and fatal collapse. I have had no intention to reflect upon the Penfieid Convention or its proceed ings—That it was too hurriedly gotten 11 up to permit those at a distance to parti jcipate in its action, I believe—that it did I good, I admit—that it was composed oi high minded, intelligent and conscien , tious gentlemen, I have no doubt, —and that the publisher of the Banner got all he could out of the concern, I presume will be most readily admitted by those who know him best. “C.” •sr:—... ‘.V- i. 1 a COMMUNICATED. “The Banner has been for years la boring to the same point—has had many i difficulties to struggle with, but is now ihreutened with one never dreamed of be fore. It was the least of our calculation to find the field for such publications so profitable or honorable as to call into ac tion a spirit of rivalry that would not tol erate us to do the best wc could for our selves. It is our disposition to avoid con troversy, but it does appear quite plain that the Augusta Washingtonian intends to crowd it upon us, whether or not.” Messrs. Editors :—l sec the above no table words in the Penfieid Temperance Banner of Sept. Ist. Now two things in this extract strike my mind most strange- : y* 1. The first is, the hostility attributed to the Washingtonian in regard to the Banner ; —it would puzzle any body else, to find where, how, and when it has been exhibited. I have been your constant reader and have never known a single remark unfavorable to the B. to appeal J in your columns. On the contrary 1 have ( observed a uniform courtesy and an evi- ; lent hearty good will. The Augusta 1 Washingtonian “crowd controversy upon £ the Banner whether or not ”! There is 1 not the faintest semblance of such a dispo sition from the Ist number of the Wash- ingtonian, to tho 13th. Shame to him f 1 —■TTrßii Mil irilirra II ■! mil ■■ nun i ; ~7~ ' —r ’ **" " " ■■ ■ . - who causelessly and traitorously turns his weapons from the enemy Os his cause against its friends, and they his own friends too! Whatever be the motive for so un accountable a proceedure, the friends of temperance in Georgia will hold the Editor ol the Banner responsible for his mischief-making rashness. 2. The second point that strikes me unpleasantly in the above extract from the Banner, is that its author seems incapable jofiinagining any other motives for enter jing upon such an undertaking as that oflhe Augusta Washingtonian, but the ex- Jpectation of finding it “ profitable or hon orable.” Now lam so antiquated as to believe in the existance of the benevolent feelings in the breast of man:—And where men are engaged in a good work I am very apt to attribute to them benevolent motives, unless I see at least some toler able reasons for suspecting something sinister. But the Editor of the Banner views things differently. He sees in the 'proceedings of the Temperance Society of this place, requesting certain gentle men to conduct the editorial department of the Washingtonian—-in their acceding to that request —in the enlargement of the paper—and in all its course since—noth ing but hostility to him ! Now I venture to affirm that not more than one in twenty oft hose who took part in these proceed ings, had ever so much as heard of the Temperance Banner of Pcntield. If even so large a proportion as this were at that time aware oflhe existence of that paper they word much more learned in the min ute mailers of the interior than the writer of this communication. | I think, Messrs. Editors, that the secret !of all this blustering leaked out in these j words—“a spirit of rivalry that would not tolerate us in doing the best we. could for ourselves.” Why, gentlemen, I, poor in nocent soul, have all along been thinking that the editor of a Temperance Paper should strive to “do the best he could” for his cause: —it must be confessed thai the Editor of the Banner views things somewhat differently—he is for “doing 'he best he can for ldnisclf ”/ Really I have a great deal to learn in regard to the principles of the temperance movement before [ shall get all right, according to the Banner’s standard of ‘ what’s what.” If its, “all game” I must begin to look around me and “do the best I can for inysclf.” I hope I shall meet no “spirit of rivalry” from my brother Washingto nians to interfere with my praise-worthy undertakings. Here then is the point. The Washing tonian appears in such a dress nnd under such auspices that the Editor of the Ban ner is excited to wrathful jealousy. He looks with ill-concealed alarm upon the issue of a paper twice the size of his own and twice as often for the same price. And on the enlargement of his paper to equal yours in size he still smarts under the fear that your appearance twice as often as the Banner will operate against his interests.—Gentlemen, you have touch ed him on a tender spot when you seemed to threaten the profits of his establish ment. You have moreover put him to the expense ofenlarging his paper—and. rely upon it, he will not soon forgive you that grudge. “I see clearly that the head and front of your offending” is that ir, his view you have not left him “to do THE BEST HE COULD FOR HI3I3ELF.” An old fashioned Washingtonian. To make oood Coffee. —First, pro cure the best coffee in the market; wash it very clean, and roast it to the colour of a golden brown, but not o deeper shade by any means. Then take the whites of three eggs to each pound of coffee, mix very carefully with the coffee while warm, and immediately .ransfer to earthen vessels, tying them over with bladders to render them air tight. Take from these vessels sufficient coffee for one making only at a time: grind it, place it in a fine muslin bag, sus pend it about mid-way in the pot, turi on the boiling water, and put on the cov er, to prevent the escape of steam. B\ this mode the coffee will be very strong but it is best to reduce it by the additioi of boiling-hot milk, when it will form i most delicious beverage, very differen indeed, from that which is produced b\ boiling the ground coffee in water. An*, to be convinced of the fact, that by tht above method, which is simply infusion all the virtues of the coffee may be ob tained, it is only to take the dreg 3 left in the bag, and boil them inwater for a con siderable time the result will be, a black, bitter, nauseous, feverish woody extract, without a trace of the fine flavour of cof fee, and answering to the name by which it was known on its first introduction intc 1 use, according to the account published j in the eighth volume of the “Harleian | Miscellany,” namely, “ the devil’s black broth !” The making of tea is by infu- : sion, not decoction; who ever thinks of boiling tea I — Farmer's Cabinet. i AUGUSTA PRICES 5! ft) CURRENT, §• =; Carefully Corrected Wff.hly. ~ Bacg.ng , Hem|> Tow Gunny Bale Rope B.aCoN, Hog round Hams Shoulders i Sides Bef.p, Smoked .Butter, Goshen North Carolina...
