PROGRESS OF TEMPER ANCE.
Among the most cheering of all the I
facts which go to indicate the moral
•late of society, are those which evince |
a progressive restoration of men to the ‘
enjoyment of their health and the use i
oi their reason. Nut of a few individ
uals merely, but such facts as could
exist only from a general or at least an
extensive improvement in the state of
society. The keepers of public hou
ses, for instance, solely dependent on!
public patronage, must of necessity •
fashion their accommodations to the j
publii taste; and must therefore pre- j
sen l >s good an indicium of it as any
other, and perhaps better.
Some time since we published the
advertisement of Mr. Buch’s temper
ance public house in Talbotton; ‘lie
worthy owner publicly announcing fits
determination of excluding spirits ex
cept in cases of indispensable necessity.
Before that time Mr. McCombs had
resolved to *ell no mors spirits at the
bar of the Eagle Hotel, and none ever
have been sold at the S ate Rights Mo
tel, two of the principal public houses
in this place.
YVe have lately heard that Mr Car
ter lias adopted the same regulation at
the Gen eral Hotel, a large establish
ment in Macon; and no doubt the same
lias been done by many others of whom
we have not heard.
Mr. Butts, who is extensively en
gaged in the transport business on me
rivet between Macon and Darien, has
for some months, we understand, tlis
cominued the usual allowance of wis
kev to his boat h3nd, substituting an
equal amount in coffee; and conse
qu nre is, that there is less sickness
among the hands, and instead of almost
continued accidents and sometimes
heavy losses, which he formerly sus
tained, he has incured not ewe since the
present practice has been adopted.—
The business of the whole season has
Jicen done, if our information IS correct,
without the loss of a dollar to himself
or to the insurers, by any of these cas
ualties, which before weie so frequent.
The most gratifying aspect of these
cases is, that they are none of them
made with a view to aid the cause of
temperance. There is already such a
reformation in the habits of the people,
that ta*ern keepers find their in*crest
in avoiding the imputation of selling
spirits. And the boa’ owners are awate
ofthepiofit of navigating heir craft
By sober boatmen,jus 1 as the insurance
officers of New Yoi k and Boston in
sure temperance ships lower than they
will others. All these men act from
an enlightened, clear sighted view of
their own interests, and make no pro
fession of acting from any other. Their
testimony is therefore heyot.d all qnes
lion, and proves that the most exposed
and laborious duties can be better per
formed wiiliout spirits than with it; that
less risk is encurred without, than with
it, and that a very large and growing
proportion, perhaps aI r early a majority
of the community, acting on a convic
tion of these truths have already eman
cipated themselves fiom this, the worst
of si i very.— Georgia Journal.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1835.
We have been very favorably impressed
with anew project, which has been suggest
ed to us, and which if ever carried into ef
fect, must, and will advance the prosperity
of our Town : namely, tin establishment of
a direct line of stage c, between this
place and Macon. The ill is now carried
| on horseback, is tedious and unsafe; there-
I fore few letters are entrusted to it, whilst on
j the contrary, should it be transported in safe j
j carriages, less time would be occupied, and
more confidence placed in its regular and
safe conveyance. The inhabitants in the in
terior whose interest it is to use the waters
of the Altamaha to convey their crops to
market, would, by a direct line of stages, be
i enabled to follow them, w ithout being bii
-1 ged to make a circuit of some hundred miles
!to do so. The merchant will find it to his
) interest to support this direct line, either
for the purpose of meeting his stock ol
goods shipped from the North to Darien, or
here to take shipping for the North, or the
steam boat for Charleston. It is useless to
attempt to enumerate the many advantages
that must inevitably grow out an establish
ment of this kind, either in connection with
the Charleston steam boats, or the line of
packets to that place and to New Y'ork now !
in successful operation. YVe cannot speak |
from experience as to the roads, but we are
informed by persons well acquainted with
the route, that better roads cannot be found
in any portion of the Stale—and we feel sa
tisfied, the inhabitants of Jacksonville and
Hawkinsviile, through botli of which places
the stage will run, as also those of Hartford
anil Marion, will in a moment see the deci
ded advantages to them of such a line, and
we believe will be at any time ready to fur
ther such an undertaking, and lend it all
their aid. The benefits arising to our town,
are self evident ;and w,e do not hesitate to
| recommend it, in the most earnest manner to
our merchants, and to all who feel for the
prosperity of this most eligible spot, which
is designed by nature, for an extensive com.
mercial sea-port. And we would earnestly
recommend the project to the deliberate re
flection and consideration of the inhabitants
of Jacksonville, Hawkinsviile and Macon.
publisli n, ilsy Asomftttniicnttoh tsktu
from tile Geogia Journal, signed “ A Friend
to Georgia.” The subject of this communi
cation, is of deep and encreasing interest, to
every citizen of our State, in whatever
sphere he may move, for none are too poor
to evade the payment of taxes, imposed by
tlie State, and none are too rich, not to feel
their weight—however, our objection is no’
to taxes laid by the Slate, for the purpose of
defraying the ordinary expenses of the gov
ernment, and which may be deemed necessa
ry for the interest of the state ; but we coin
cide perfectly with the writer of the article
alluded 10, that unless the number of our
overgrown Legislature, can be reduced, we
will soon be compelled to pay a direct Tax,
in order to support this unwieldy body ; and
tben.it will indeed, be best to abandon all
fly tiie Stale. YY’e approve of the suggestion
the waiter makes, to bring the matter, once
more before the public, and 11 let it be the
test of the next election,” The candidates
should by this test, be tried, and each one re*
quired to declare his sentiments, to those
whom lie is desirous of representing ; we do
not believe however, that meetings, called
for this purpose, in the different counties,
will answer any good purpose on those occa
sions, too great excitement generally pre
vails, and unhappy strifes, are too often the
result. Party feelings predominate also, at
these meetings too much, which in a matter
of this kind, should not be taken into view,
i we do not consider the question in this light
jat all. It is one, which involcs the interests
;of the Whole State and on this ground, we
would bring it before our readers, and would
recommend to them, its serious considera
tion.
We beg to call the attention of our citi
zens, and particularly the heads of families,
; to an advertisement in this days paper head
!ed “ Lessons in Music.’, Our young Misses
have long wanted an instructor of the Piano
Forte, and hope our deficiency will be sup
plied by Mrs. Jones, who is now and likely to
be a resident among us. We wish her

From the Georgia Journal.
Gjcntucmex.— Nmw ithstatididg I
am a humble individual, staying at
home and minding nty own business, I
have discovered that the bill to alter the
Constitution of the S ate so as to have
biennial sessions, as well as the bill fir
the call ot a Contention to reduce the
number of the General Assembly, have
both failed. Now it appears to me,
that if we are to have saddled upon us
the present overgrown number of mem
bers in the Legislature, and that with
out remedy, the sooner ve kn >w it the
better; as it will be time to think seri
ously about leaveing the State for there
must then be a direct tax laid upon the
people oi the State to pay off the Leg
islature. And as for Internal Impio-e
----inentandEducation.it will be unne
cessary to think of either, w hile we have
to support the pi esetit system of Legfi
lation.
The enquiry arises, vjhat is to be
clone, as there has already ben sever
al failures; still I think we should not
despair, but bring the subject plainiy
and fairly once more before the people,
and let it be the test of the next elec
tion. Let the people in each county
call upon the candidates to rise pyblic*
iy and declare their sentiments plainly
and folly; and where there is not already
candidates who will do all in ifieir pow
er to reduce the pieseut number of
members, let the people bring out oih- j
crs. To this end, let there be meetings !
called in each count v, earJv in the veai , j
so as to ascertain the sentiments of the j
people.
’Now, as your valuable paper has |
been for nearly iliiriy vears striving to
ihe good of the people of Georgia, !
hope you will publish the above, should
you think ii worthy a place iayour col
