I ('OMMCNICATiONS Mu. Editor:—As tlie approaching guberna ■orial election will soon be upon us, and us the Hjuesjtio'n, whether or not we should again have Bur champion in the field, has been, and is being, Bgitated in certain circles, it becomes necessary Bhat the friends of the Temperance cause fhonld Bnterchange opinions with reference to the exist- Bng state of the cause, and the means best adi.pt- B-d to promote it. The question with us nowts, not Bonly how we are to maintain the ground that we Bhuve already gained, but to advance it by every B.onorable means in our power —to gain now ■foot-holds, and to well man the ports we have al- Brtvidy stormed, instead of either letting them ■crumble into ruins, or quietly resigning them ■again into the hands of the enemy. By examining into the present state of the ■Temperance cause, we find it in anything else but ■in a prosperous condition. In a few sections of ■our State the friends have been energetic and rer- Iseverhig. Their battle cry is still heard, and the ■eneimv strong-holds are still being stormed and ■carried. But these are few and isolated. The ■influence exerted by these faithful Divisions is en ■tirely sectional. I mean the direct influence.— ■ While they are straining every muscle, and while ■ their hearts are bouyant with hope founded upon ■ success, the remaining Divisions have either in a ■ cowardly manner given up their charters and dis- I banded, or they have suffered a universal apathy 1 10 steal over them, and the cause of Temperance land T may say, the subject of Temperance is the I very last things that is suffered to enter their I minds. But this is not all—if it could stop at a I general apathy there would be some hope of a I revival—but many men who wore once not only I good Temperance men, that had never been ac customed to drinking at all, but those who were recognized as the champions of the cause have turned their backs upon us, have joined the enemy, and are now burning tip their stomachs with the “vile stuff!” And will you believe it, if you men tion Temperance to them they become offended and declare to you that they are ashamed that they ever belonged to a Division, and are anxious for time to elapse to consign a knowledge of the fact to eternal oblivion. They forget that they are responsible to an alwise providence forther actions —they forget they are exerting an influence upon their feilow-men (whether voluntary or involunta ry it matters not) for which they are also respon sible-—they forget that they are making drunk ards of men whose wives’ hearts are to lie broken, and whose children are to be brought to the dogs —they f wget that the effects of their actions are not io be confined exclusively to themselves, but thet it extends to all those who see them in the act >.s ei! as those who hear of it—they forget that they ;re provoking a sin-avenging God to anger. Avho-e eternal displeasure will be heaped upon them as a liberal reward for their abominable deeds—they forget the agonizing cry qf the wid ows and orphans they have made by the influ ence of their example, which ascends in a contin ual stream to heaven for vengeance upon the au thors of their misfortunes—they forget that they are wending their way down the broad road that leads to eternal woe and misery as fast as tune can carry them—they forget the declaration of; God that “the wicked shall not live out half their days,” and that “no drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.” Yes, all these are stud iously avoided, and repelled from their miuds, and if conviction will force itself upon them in spite of their efforts to resist it, “one glass more” is gul plied down to drown the sting of conscience.— We might look on the thing with greater com placency if it was confined to the world, or to that part of it called sinners; but if you will be lieve me, it is the curse of all our churches in every denomination. But I tell that member of the church who will take a crowd of men to a groce rev and persuade them to drink spirituous liquors, ■when, if he knows the things stated above, be may commence and carry himself through a rigid examination, and he will, in all probability find so tew evidences that he is a Christian, that he may have great and reasonable doubts as to bis ever having been accepted of God; for we are commanded to do everything we do to the glory of God. And my candid advice to that man. is to eminence again and try it over. But at the one time I tell that man that his efforts will be as fruitless as the great desert of Sahara so long as he continues the habit above alluded to. But T have been led off from the direct point— nre we to have a candidate in the field for the of 1’ eof < Governor? My own opinion is that we s ou’d not. And there are several and weighty 1 casons why we should not. First—we are not trrong enough—there are not enough Temper mue n,<ir) in the State to effect anything at the ballot-box. Some friends may conteud that how ever weak we may be in point of number, and however taint the hope may be that successs will 1 rown our efforts, still we ought to draw the b ,es, and keep our party pure, and at the same tone know our strength.* But there are a groat Hinny good friends of Temperance who m op* I- fe posed to Legislation on the subject, ftttd who might be driven off from Us entirely by oUr re peated efforts to effect an object which they be lieve to be Unconstitutional. They are willing to join our Temperance Lodges and Societies, and. keep us along by every other means, if they could have any assurance that prohibition would not be thrust upon them again. Well now the great majority of these men are our most influential citizens—men who .are calculated to do an im mense amount of good, whose hands are tied so long as these lines are drawn. Secondly : Wher ever the friends of prohibition have succeeded in having their laws passed, they have enforced them for a little while only, when they are declared to be unconstitutional by the proper authorities, and are then repealed. And when they have been repealed we hear of very little effort being made to re-enact them, which seems to indicate a dispo sition on the part of the friends themselves to ac quiesce in, and abide the decision Thirdly : If we were to elect our Governor and Legislature and pass laws as stringent as language eould make them, lam forced to believe that they would not effect the object desired. Men in this country have learned to regard themselves as freemen; and everything which has the appearance of being an iufringment on their rights they will resist with all their might. The more you agi tate it the more determined their resistance. Let us first convince their judgments, and then there will be no need of Legislation. Then let us all, no matter wheather we are friends of Legislation or nor, go to work again in good earnest. Let us bring to life our Lodg es which have become, defunct, and receive into it. as members, ladies as well as gentlemen. If our object be not to Legislate, a lady will make as good a member as a man. In places where there are no Lodges let us build them up, or form Temperance societies, embracing within its folds old and young, male and female, rich and poor, bond and free, black and white. Let us do away v ith the old requisition that a person should be eighteen years old, and institute some numberless. Let us. take them ail in and have a general jubilee. And, finally, let us forever dis card and utterly reje t the idea oflegislation, for it never will accomplish the object desired. Now Mr. Editor, I have spoken my views ex ceedingly plain. 1 believe them to he right and such as the Temperance people can stand and prosper on. Give us your views on the subject Do you not honestly coincide with us. Let the friends everywhere t’ree'y express their sentiments. ONCE A PROHIBITIONIST. Bairdstown, May 27th, 1857. For the Crusader. Upson Cos., May 20th, ’si. Mr. Editor— J Dear Sir: —l notice in a late is sne of your paper that one of vour correspondents from Upson, says, “the Temperance Cause is some what 00 the mend in Upson. Tt ere are only two retail shops in our County, and one of them is al most perished out for the want of patronage or customers.” Now, Mr. Editor, your correspondent certain ly lives in the “datk corner” of Upson and does not “take the paper” for to me certain knowledge there are ten retail shops at least, and I think there are twelve, and all very well patronized—< how your correspondent eul<) have arrived at the conclusion that “there are only two” is a mystery tome. I know he never vis! s our County town. Thomaston, for th*re are lour there; I think he will do for a temperance man, at least one who doc* not visit the grog-shops. Now it affords me no pleasure to correct this error of your correspondent, wou'd to God he was right in his statement. Old Upson once famous for her flourishing divisions of the Sons of Tem erance, is it true that she now supports twelve re tail doggeries ? Ah ! too true, how fallen ; hut is thero no help? T aw another one of your correspondent from Upson recommends the old plan of Temperance Societies taking in whole families, organizing at court houses anrl churches.” hut as he very truly says, the world is governed hy excitement ; I would inquire how we are to get up this excite ment.?* Something must be done and done quick ly. the enemy has completely routed us in Upson, has the entire possession of the field and is doing his work of death wiihout molestation. Friends of the Cause in Upson will you longer stand off ? Come to the reseue and let us make one more at tach In January, 1855 we organized a Lodge of Knights of Jericho in Thomaston wh’ch lasted about eighteen months and died, and why? be cause. with shame be it'said, the friends of tem perance, I mean the larger portion of them with held from it their support and influence. Now it is my opinion that this is one of the best institutions now in existance for the promotion of the cause, and I would to God that there was a Lodge in every nook and corner of the State.— I rtjoice to see that the order is somewhat on the increase, and would appeal to every lover of humanity to look into and examine its mer rit. Notwithstanding our Lodg has gone down, I trust and believe it will soon be revived ; friends of the Cause of humanity in Upsou will you still wilt-hold from us your support l H. For the Crusader.. Headers of the Crusader, please permit me to submit to your consideration, a problem, which,, tin-ugh it may puzzle tome of you, is not at all designed to do so. If the author of it could *>lve it, he would not ask public assistance from others. Greenleaf’s Bth problem in double po sition opened the way for the following PROBLEM. I. 8 horses, 5 oxen, 7 cows and 9 sheep eat 11 acres of grass in 6 weeks, and if 9 horses, 7 ox en, Scows and 8 sheep, eat IS acres in 8 weeks what number of sheep ought to be put into a pasture of 40 acres, with 10 horses, ll oxen, and 12 cows t<> exhaust the pasture in 12 weeks, the grass to be growing uniformly ? jar 4 horses to eat as much as 8 oxen, 9 oxen a- much as 13 cows, and 11 rows as mm li as 27 sheep.

So i please friemlsto spend a ‘‘little time”,- at it ami give us an explanation, and rest assured it will be thankfully received, OAK BOVVER,* Who Who Would Do “a Picayune feusiaefia?” ■■ ’ _____ BY MISS q. W. JJARBKK, ‘ ’ “I am Wtisfied,” says a turn-seller in Ids advfrb tiseinent “that a man can do a heavy about as easy as a picayune business ” Yes, indeed my good sir, it is almost as easy for you to ruin a thousand noble, generous, good young men as one—to scatter tisirtay, poverty and wretchedness through a thousand families— break s million hearts—desolate any number of tire-ides—instigate any quantity of minders— make a thousand orphans—cause a hundred gall ows to be built as high as Haman’s—stock five hundred penitentiaries—make a million widows —bring ten-score of gray-heads “with sorrow to the grave”—blast, desolate, overturn and uproot with a breath more fiery than the sirocco’s of the desert, all that is good and lovely and desirable in life—l say it is almost as easy to do all this as to carry on a miserably, “picayune business,” ruin a soul or two, desolate one or two families, break a heart or so, and send one or more representatives to that ancient and honorable (!) institution, name ly, the State’s prison for life. In view of the wood- rful ease with which pau pers can be made —alms-house* built—guard houses wanted—gambling, horse racing, cursing and Sabbath-breaking and carousing, instigated and carried on—is it marvelous. Mr. Crusader, that the vender lias decided to brins on a larger -took of “choice liquors,” (as I e pro eed-* in his advertisement to inform the, public he has done,) H adorn the shelves in Ids bar-room \v th temp iug j decanters, tilled with French, Cogniac. American | and Gtard Brandies, Mmiongahela, Rye. Dexter and Corn Whiskies, Gin, Rum and Wine of all kinds? Is it not wonderful that others do not j arrive at the same philanthropic conclusion and do a “heavy business” at rmu-selling, rather than “a p : eayune one,” when it ran be done so easily ? But, this subject is too mournful for satire. Is there no way in which the vender's moral obliqui-. tv of vision can.be removed? Will our citizens continue to patronize and buy of those who retail quart after quart of ‘choice iiquors,” and do a “heavy business” in the ruination of the young, the noble, arid the promising, and boast that it can be done, as well as “a picayune” one? What assurance have they, that their daugh ers may not become the wives of drunkards— ; that their sons may not be among the victims of the rum seller ? For the Crusader. Tribute of Respect. Cohltta Division, No. 140 S. of TANARUS., ) Spring Place, May 22, 1857. ( Resolved, That this Division has learned with profound sorrow of the death of our beloved brother and Grand Worthy Patriarch Rev. Joseph Gris ham. Res lved, That as Sons of Temper nice we feel that our loss -s irreparable, as men that humanity has also suffered great loss, as Christians that a friend of the Cause of Christ has fallen, as citizens that a patriot, i. e., a patriot in de-d has been ta ken from among us—he who spent his time, talent and proper v to p ace mar. in his proper position —to raise him from the company of hogs and sinks of vice to the stature of matt, with mind c ear -n l brow undaunted, to think rationally and act justly, increasing his own and the happiness of liis family and those about him, as God intended lie should—such man is truly a patriot. Re-olwd, That we, individually, and as a Di vision do deeply sympathize with the afilic ed fami ly and re la ives of our deceased broth -r, in th s dispensation of our Kind Father in Heaven, to whose will we would be and trust they are fully resigned. Resolved, That in discharging this duty we ac knowledge a debt that we, in common with the world, owe to the memory of out departed brother and friend—the friend as lie was ofliumanhy and true liberty—whatlbertyis so sweet as that of bsing released from the relentless grasp of the fiend intemperance, in him are mote than all the tyranies of earth concentrated. lie imprisons, robs, murders, hangs and th grades, and last of a 1. sends the poor enslaved spirit to an end ess hell. 0, that the loss of this fried of true liberty, indeed, may act as a proraethian spark to animate the now partially dead-bodies of the Temperance Friends of Georgia and surrounding States, and make them f- el “That freedom’s battle once begun Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son, Though baffled oft, is even won.” Let til's bo our motto and so low the example of our lamented and deceased brother.

Dr. Mulkey— has been in our village during the past week instructing a large class in English Or thoepy. He is a son of William Mulkey of Ten nessee who has betn giving this subject dilligent .study for a number of jears, and whose systems, rules and theories have been backed by some of our popular Lexicographers. The proper accentuation of vowels and consonants in English words, is a point upon which all classes of men differ in num berless instances, and Dr. Mulkey’s design is to communicate to the people rules to regulate the Or thoepy of our language, whereby this difficultly may be removed. The design is evidently a good one, and the Dr, is ineetjng with flattering encourage ments in Ilis mission. We take pleasure in recom mending him as a perfect gentleman, and an agree able and interesting young man. We hope to meet him again in our village one of those days. Sanders 1 Professorship Mr. J. F. Swanson, the Agent appointed to procure funds for the addi tional endowment of our Institution is now in the field. We hope Baptists will respond liberally and readily to the call for the necessary funds to establish this professorship. We are pleased with the name of this new office, for it is doing honor to the mentovy of a great and good man, and one whom we regarded as the builder of Mercer University. The Agent, Mr. Swanson, gives the following notice through the Index: Brethren will have learntd, from the last Index, that I am already in the field to solicit contributions for th Sanders’ Professorship. It is essential to the complete success and the greatest influence of our Institution, that this addi tional endowment should be immediately secured, for its whole income is at present insufficient to pay the salaries of the officers now on duty, and other necessary expenses. Another officer, it is expected, will soon take his place among the faculty, and it is hoped and believed that the Baptists of Georgia will not suffer their Col lege, founded by the bounty, and nourished by the prayers and lnbois of the Fathers of the Church, to be crippled in its work, or circumscribed in its infiu ence, for the v. ant of the means necessary for its support. Brethren are requested to take into serious and prayerful consideratio i their duty in this matter, and let each one resolve to do his part in the good work of elevating the character, increasing the effi ciency, and extending the influence of our beloved Institution. J. F. SWANSON. A model Husband. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Post tells a tale of a gambling, dissipated, debauched hus band, whose wife was beloved by a rich baron, auri loved him in return, but .discouraged his attentions. The husband, knowing that he had reduced her to misery, resolved “to remove the only ob-tacle to her happiness by destroying himself.” and leaped from a precipice in the Pyre. “Few husbands,” says the admiring correspondent, “would have been capable of so generous a proceeding, and it is said the la dies generally speak of his noMe self-devotion in terms of the highest admiration, and quote it on all occasions with the warmest enthusiasm, in hopes that the example may prove contagious and become a general fashion. Amiable and charming illusion!” Can there be another such a specimen of the Homo genus in all the married creation? O, what a self-sacrificing disposition was there exhibited I Wonder if there are not many ladies in our commu nity who wish their husbands were such modcls-pos sessed of the same spirit as tho genius mentioned above, who was willing to undergo anything, death not excepted, for the benefit of bis spouse. If you will allow us to wonder again, we would wonder if there are not many husbands in our country who wish j their wires possessed something of the same temper ament.! Ah, this thing.of marrying is a very seri ous step, and should be so considered by both par ties. But it is oftenor than otherwise ‘ plunged ’ into, without a moments reflection, and hence tho un happiness attendant upon numberless matches. areeaasbortf Cbmmen&eTneiit, The puhihi < xt-m.-es of die Kauai* College, locat e<i in out- neighboring cifYi,tiarie off lust week.

Hot we trunk our friend in error as regards the ultimate ifiieacy of prohibit on. We have learned to look to the strong any of the law as our onh security in a fu ture day. We are ali familiar with the history and results of moral siusion. Too tendency of;ill popu lar excitements to h rouie stale, and the .pronencss of human beftogsto disregard moral restrain#, ver soon render appeals to the sensibilities and affection-; of men powerless. ft is this very clement m ‘he nature oi things which makes temper, no ex de ments short-lived. Societies s-.ldofn ever lust but a few years, and vrhero thye.ia no chi gatiou beta mere regard for uiorSWty, to cherish and cultivate temperance principles this will always be the h.s tory of temperance seen t.ex Experience lias taught us the Im-iiberuai success of moral suasion to accom plish a reformation. It was the sole agencyjears g>, through which men wove converted to the prin ciples of temperance, and outer its influence in live years one million live hundred thousand persons were converted to th* exercise of temp?! unco lath - brewers, merchants and degraded sots abandoned the ignominious tratii • an 1 resoovl to Ce it> cue uues, but tiiere being no restraint thrown around them save their own bristle promises, nearly half of then, in the same length <•! tunc, returned to the mjit*. Prohibition is the jvtn. ;1y when the people are more enlightened as to what, is meant by tiiat term. At the present time and und i the existing circumstances it is impolitic to make that the issue ; for a law upon this auhjlct to be effectual must’ be written, not simply upon the statute-book, but also upon the public heart edu ated to its importance.— It is true that such a iaw could not practically be thoroughly executed, but there is no.iaw which es capes violation at a!! tui.es, yet if remains a law and (io.s an inca’cidablv amount of uood. *5Rc old ab surd i tVu that ‘Proltffdtfotf ftu attempt to lorce men into morality is srd* a hoot, upon which oppo nents of Prohibition h'fttVg their Weightiest objections. Wc would discuss tins point dhoroughly if m hud a irttlc more space and time—buri S ill ivs rve it for a Separate article. At this time our division room* and new organizations, auoh 3 our friend ie j commends, are mil* arffy hop*; nnd'*e crtnjut* tin s friends of temperance, in nil porfldns of our country, to discharge their duty upon thi* ifeipoftaot subject. Every hour demands active labor oft the pert of tem perance nu-n As to the policy of mnnng an independent C*o did tie for fJoveFumr, v.e think it altogether inexpe dient. Some time since we wrote and published an editorial, upon this subject, and the paper was print ed so badly that week, that we judge very few lead j .or views mum that point, and nine© fie article wait i printed so ilkgflvy w<* beg permission to publish, j Uosa. sati e vi- vy-a ;;ga n:. | The < Npediei.c.; of nominating an independent k tndids'e to he run upon the temperance issue in ft: t c ouii.c ctnvas'i, is an important question to otU r <• uart V should he thoroughly considered before I decision is made upon if. Our views upon thi* ’ pour .irrthe same no V that they vrere when the : :<*m>fating ex •itoraent -first began, but we hive -t ever given pub’.ieby to them, because wc regarded them as of m nor importance when clashing with the opinions ol older and more experienced persons;— and besides, we dt-sired thoaefwho were bent on that e “esc to try the experiment, and we did all in our po - c !■ make it successful one —'bujt it failed ; and we i-nv j nb-iedv ex pies.s our sentiments, and dare as si.me the po.'ifitm of adviser to our frien Is, as to to. contse best to be pet sued in endeavoring to ad* V u e*'our mov* ment loafm.il triumph. The opin : it.n-s which we shall i x t ess, the sentiments which v actually ntertain, and the policy which we shall >.vi r ! probably be unpopular with a small •; c -.ntv of our friend--; b’r we are confident that ; the great bulk of Temperance men throughout the State wiil uadil endorse them, and strenuously aid us in ‘their maintenance — a-d we would rejoice to i ve them aquiesc din by every sympathiser with •cm voleut mission. V\ e shall speak as one • sc bean is wheiy absorbed in the furtherance and sucefs.-s cf Umperauce principles, and our sentiments will be but art expression of the opinions of thous ands of i on in our Mute, to whom this cause is near rfnu deer. We letnailo and in the outset, that the question of expediency was an important one for us to consider, and we presume no one will deny if, for we are not without land-marks of experience upon this point.—• When foe Nominating Convention assembled in At la-'ta <>n the 22nd of February 185-3, this identical qu< sdc-n ?\ at ably, thoioughly and Boisterously dis | cussed • y a large and intelligent assemblage of dele : g/ViCs from many portion* of the State; a decision was made, and in the affirmative ; we entered into ! a nomination, and entrusted our Banner into the hands iof an Intelligent, popnUtr, melt tried, tound, | pcurtind tevrferaricexntn —one against whom naught |of ev‘l could be, or was said ; he bore our flag-staff | gallantly and fearlessly in the contest —attacked |be 1 stronghold of the enemv, and sent fear and Belshax* : zar-tretabling into the hearts and knees of the wick led traffickers; he resisted the chtiiqs of home obr | ligations and went into all parts of the State, wrest | Hrg and pleading with the unbelievers, anl the ! ‘strains of his eloquence bare not yet ceased tq I burn.’ For h time vve all felt greatly i but when the ballot-box told the position qI ths tjy. raents, our bcirt grew sad ft r filling so ui .my re creants to their professions in the hour of greatest need. V\'e vwre not disappointed nor discouraged, for it was but another confirmation of ft conclusion at vvhi.-h wo hare long since arrived, that there t* !In fittfe retinue 1 to be plated in our tricked rare; | man is a ii-ct inting being, Subject to the evolution* of every popular breeze. Whether the defeat which alien led our effort in jured the cause or not we will not discuss; it would be improper to say it did or did not; but we can say with any degree of certainty that the advocates of a nomination for the next eam*s are ten to one now turn then. .Some of our friends have fal len into the absurd Idea, tbit the election of a tem perance Gowru.-v is the no plus vitro of our strug gle. It is bn! e-l a very mistaken notion, and a nio* merits reflection will convince the most enthusiar tie of its absurdity ; for what positive practical bene fit line no gained, should oar candidate be elected? We answer, not u particle ; vve get the influence of the position, which in this case is not worth a four* pence. A Governor might reign a hundred years, but under the pi esent Constitution never could pass a law, —no Legislative authority is entrusted to his haiids; benny recc mrnend and veto, but front present prospects, there is no sort of danger of bin having an opportunity to sign or veto a Prohibitory La v, for sometime to come, and as for reccommend* ingwhat'would that accomplish? Imagine what a farce It would b, lor a temperance Governor to ree coumimd to one of our model toj er Legislatures of ‘ate Tears, the passage of an Act to abolish by Law the I‘qu.K dynasty in Georgia; immediately every member would become miscrab|y and af and dumb, su h a rece mmionditon would fa’l still-born from the Executive lips. And again, we do not beliexe there is a man in the State, worthy of tho high office of Governor who would dare veto a Law upon this subject when passed by two-.hirds of the Legisli mrc; the righteous indignation of tha people would eternally damn such a man with infamy and dig* grace. We have no Horatio Seymours in Georgia. We have gained nothing by electing a Governor,. cnd our efforts when directed to that point arc mis guided. Furthermore, it is a truism of which all are cognizant that we cannot begin to elect an ine}o* pendent candidate, and the only way in which we could entertain a spark of hope as to success would be to unite with one ofthe political parties; suppose then we were to adopt that course, and the capdi* date of the consolidated parties should be successful; could we (the temperance men) claim a triumph? ‘sever! not even if the temperance strength should be more than half, it would not bo awarded to us.— It t’.>n we have to call on another and an ungener ous party, to help us elect a Governor who is pledg rl • > our cause, and if we have gained nothing by such a victory, it is as clear as the sun that we are wasting our strength “in empty air,” and it be bo >vcs ns to mark out another line of policy. We must withdraw our minds from the Gubernatorial chair, and direct them to our piyision-Hooms, Lodg ‘.■s and to the li.mw of our Legislature. The [ eo p!e are rapidly awakening to the fact that the Law is t ie only power by which the lawless traffic in hu man souls is to be Anally and effectually rooted from ou> commonwealth; und we must labor with untir ing energy to prepare thu minds of the people for voting for Legislators of the right calibre, for in them lies our hope, apd not in a Governor. These reflections are founded upon facts, and we think are worthy of consideration. We must aim at the right point, for efforts mi-guided are more in* jmious than no effort at nil, and where is the use in 0.. living to elect a Governor when we cannot elect Legtelxtura! It behooves the. members of our party to conduct this great Cause in such a manner that if it slw.l d;e. U wiii not savor of suicide ; let it not bo shv.fhat we killed our own movements by misguid* <v* 4-n! ; lit ns act in such a nay as to alienate no one fropi our principles, but let it be itir chief aim to conciliate, and win all pur eneipjsf to oar Bid# ]
