Premiums--Premiums !

We have a large number of Tracts, bearing
upon the evils of the Liquor Traffic, and also
a humber upon the subject Of Temperance
generally, which we would like to dispose of
bv way of Premiums to our friends who may
send us Clubs of subscribers between now
and the end of our present volume, in Au-
gust next. During the month of July, there
will be large gatherings of the people in the
various counties, attending upon the politi-
cal harangues, and also we trust in attending
upon the temperance Lectures that will be
made thus rendering it easy to get up lists
of subscribers. We therefore offer the fol-
lowing Premiums: To every single subscri-
Der renewal of old, or new subscriber) 20
cents worth of Tracts and to the getter up
of Clubs 20 cents worth for every subscriber
sent, with the cash. 1--WE take none others.
Now is the time for the friends of the cause
to get Tracts for gratuitous circulation with
out cost. We have by this means scattered
$4,000 throughout the State, and we would
be glad so to scatter 100, 900 more. Friends
of the cause give US your aid.

The True Doctrine.

GA thing that is right should be adhered
to at all hazards and under all circumstan-
ces. All great reforms that have been ac-
complished had, at first, but few supporters,
but great and jealous men capable of lead
ing a forlorn hope have thrown themselves
in the breach and have been finally crowned
with victory. It was thus that American In
dependence was accomplished. If our fore
fathers had concluded to bear the CALLING
yoke of their oppressors, because they were
strong and themselves were weak, we still
would have been subjects of the British
crown" So says one of our political exchan-
ges in this State, and though intended for
p~artizan purposes, yet how forcibly do the
remarks apply to the great Temperance re-
form? We commend the wholesome truths
these brief lines contain, to the earnest con-
sideration of all the Gfeuds of reform.

BaP Attention is directed to the call for q
Temperarc e Convention, to be held in this
City on the 4th of July-see advertisement
in another column. The object of this meet
ing is to adopt final and decisive steps as to
the course to be pursued by the friends of
Reform, in this County, at the approaching
election for members of the Legislature-the
policy and purposes of the political candi-
dates, it is presumed will have been devel-
oped by that time, and we shall be able fully
to understand them. Let there be a large
and general rally of the friends of the good
cause, that we may be able to act in concert
and in such manner as will not bring re-
preach upon our principles and the objects
we have in view.
We have a high and noble, as we'll as self
sacrificing duty to perform in the emergency
as become free and independent citizens, in
spired by a patriotic devotion for the good Of
our country, and a holy philanthropic desire
for the amelioration Of the condition Of our
fellow-men. Let every man be at his post
the cause requires every man to do his duty

COLUMBUS. Ga. ,Jnne I'll

COLUMBUS, Ga, June 7th.
Messrs. Editors Il had the misfortune on
last Saturday afternoon, as | was passing
along the road from Marion, Miss, to Mt.
Sterling, Alabama, to witness the fighting of
a duel between Gen. j. G. Saunders, of Ala
bama, and Judge Evans, Of Mississippi.
Five rounds were fired the first round,
General Saunders received a ball in his left
arm, but the bone was not injured nor any
blood vessel ruptured. The third round he
was again slightly struck in the right breast,
the ball passing just under the skin. No
fears are entertained, however, from his
wounds.
The fifth round Judge Evans was shot
down and dangerously wounded, the ball
entering his breast. The difficulty seems to
have originated from very harsh language
used by General Saunders, in reply to q speech
that Judge Evans made before the Literary
Society of the Western Military College in
Alabama.
Some twelve months ago the Society ap-
pointed Gen. Saunders to deliver the annu-
al address, to take place last April. A short
time after he was appointed he left the State
and went to Charleston, S. c., where he re-
manned until about the first of April. When
he returned he found that Judge Evans had
been appointed in his stead to deliver the
address. The day arrived, and these two
gentlemen both attended the school, and both
made speeches-able speeches-Evans speak
ing first. In the course of his remarks he
alluded to the Generals leaving so soon after
receiving his appointment a year previous,
and stated that he fed from the undertak.
ing Gen. Saunders, in reply, stated the
reasons why he left, and gave the lie to Evans
assertion, and used other very abusive Ian.
guage to the Judge, which resulted that even
ing in a challenge.
Judge Evans is a native of Charleston, S.
O., he left there when quite young and went
to Mississippi, where, at the age of %, he
engaged in the practice of law and soon be-
came distinguished in his profession, and
at p years of age he was elected Judge
Of the Circuit Court. He has a wife and
three children. General Saunders is a very
young man, not more than "a years of age,
but possessed Of great ability and exSraordi.
nary talents. He is a farmer, and a native
of North Carolina-he has no children. Il
is indeed very bad that difficulties of SO sad
a nature should occur between such men
men who bid fair to beshining lights to their
country.

1ntemneranea smong the Slaves.

Every slave-holdernust feel and know tha'
the ruinous and ~corppting system OF the 4
quor traffic, is prolib with evils OF the most
serious and alarming magnitude upon the
slave population. , say nothing OF It's oe-
moralizing effects upn them as accountants
human beings, Standardization and
dissatisfaction it produqes-leaVing these Out
of the question. the depreciation In value OF
this species of property, through the infiu'
ence of intoxicating drinks, is really enor,
Gus!
A man of high official dignity in South
Carolina who is thoroughly csnversant with
every section of that State, says, "the de-
preciaton of slave property. consequent upon
the sale of liquor is at least 20 per cent? per
annuh, upon the whole v%alue.' In South
Carolina, the last Census repors there are
abobt 385 900 slaves, which at a reasonably
low calculation, may be valued at omethlng
like one hundred millions of dollars-placing
the average at less than $500 each-and if
the 20 per cent. estimate of depreciation be
correct, here is the enormous pecuniary loss
Of about twenty millions Of dollars, in South
Carolina alone!
In North Carolina there are about 100000
slaves, which upon the same average art
worth something like s~eventy-fve millions Q
dollars; q losslsfk2O per cent, or. which, in
wolves a clear of fifteen millions o
dollars a year, in North Carolina, througI
the liquor traffic upon the slave population
alone
The same authority quoted above, fror
South Carolina, has said:-"In my opinion
more than half of all the liquor drank in th
State, is by the Slaves" If this be true i
South, it will doubtless also hold good i
North Carolina. How do they get the pc
son? The owner does not furnish it to them
and there are laws against persons selling
to them. Must not the dealers, land prett
much all of them, at that) lend themselv'
directly to the violation of that wholeson
statute? How common is it to fail in convic
ing men of violating the law in this respec
although owners know them guilty-indee
is it not next to impossible to convict SUI
perpetrators under the present law! ~
only safety is in prohibiting the traffic.
Will the shareholders of North Carolil
longer submit to be robbed of Is millions
year through this Ubiquitous code? If n
strike now for its utter demolition.

The Signs of the Times

The proceedings of meetings held by the
friends of Reform in the various counties,
which we publish to-day, and have hitherto
published, demonstrate that there is a gen.
eral, widespread and determined disposition
to make a vigorous effort to secure the cleo
ton of friends of this movement to our next
Legislature. 1t is the first year that action
has characterized the desire of the friends of
Reform and it is indeed encouraging to see
so large a body of men marching up to the
great and good work, banner in hand, on
which is inscribed" Down WITH THE IL
QUoR TRAFFIC BY LEGAL s~UAsIoN."
The disrespect and contempt manifested
by some politicians, and the studied silence
and craven fear of others, has in most instan-
ces forced the alternative upon the friends of
Reform to cast about them for reliable men
to legislate upon this subject. Every conces-
sion that consistency would allow, has been
made, in order to keep this question out of
the political arena. Pledges of the most re-
publican and democratic character have been
declined-even a willingness that the will of
the majority of the people should govern in
this matter, has been refused-indeed, some
have even begged to be excused from saying
they would not treat, Notwithstanding to do
so is q clear infraction of the statute law of
the State.
Now, why is all this Does it arise from
personal opposition to the movement? If
so, now can they expect the support of its
friends! Or does it arise from a craven fear
of whiskey influence, of grog-shop power,
choosing rather to cater to, and rely upon it,
than to the judgement of the sober intelli-
gence of the people? Then let them cleaye
to their own chosen friends and rely upon
them for election, and not upon those whose
views they have ridiculed, condemned and
spurned.
Temperance men are in earnest in this
matter-they are governed by a high and
holy principle, in defence of which they are
willing to go before God and their country.
Let US not, friends, be lured from our lofty
position by the groveling cry of demagogues
or selfish partizans. If we triumph, it will
be a noble conquest-ifw we fail it will be with
an approving conscience in the cause of God
and downtrodden humanity.

HgF The Editor Of the Star in the East
quite misunderstands our remarks concern
ing the recommendations of 4" REPUBLICAN,
in the Greensboro Patriot" in the intima-
ton that we are willing to give Prohibition
the go-by and be satisfied with the substitute
proposed by that writer. On the contrary,
we distinctly asserted-"w we cling to Prohi-
bition with undying pertinacity," because
we believe it to be the only sure and perma-
nent remedy for the evils of the liquor traffic !;
and it is the remedy which we mast have,
and we intend to contend for until it is OBJ
tanned. We intend to ask for none other
but if our Legisatar&will give us the Missis-
sippi law, or one similar in it's provisions to
that foreshadowed by Republican," we
think it would be better than no reform, and
would not, in our humble Judgment, cause
any relaxation in effort for a perfect law, no
more than does a smattering education de-
stroy desire for more extensive learning or
the acquiring of a few dollars do ava the
anxiety for rgefortune. Disappointments
and impositions, it is true, might follow in
the workings of the law, but the same objec-
ton will hold good concerning all laws for
all are more or less neglected or imposed on.
We wish it distinctly understood, however,
that the Spirit of the Age has not, and wiu
not endorse this law as a substitute"
for Prohibition-we go for the latter all the
time-but if we canno get that next session,
we would greatly prefer such a law as " Re-
publican proposes, to live under for the
two years following, than the miserable law
we now have. 1t is simply a choice between
two evils, that is all, and we have preferred
the less.

GP REMEMBER! Friends of Reform, if we
ever succeed in arresting the desolating pro-
gress of the Liquor Traffic, the PRESS must
exercise a powerful influence in accomplish
ing it. The SPIRIT OF THE AGE has battled
long, and we trust with ~acceptability and
some success in the good cause, and we would
call upon our friends to redouble their exer-
tons in extending its circulation, thus giving
additional potency and efficacy to our efforts.
The very greatly increased expenses attend
ing our establishment, owing to the high pri.
ces of every thing, impels US to call upon
our friends for additional exertions in our
behalf. We try to furnish our readers with
a good paper, varied in character and enter
tanning and instructive in matter-all at the
low price of One Dollar a year! Most 0 fthe

had to increase their prices either in subscrip'
ton or terms of advertising, to correspond
with these advances. We do not propose
either of these, but we do call on the friends
of the cause to extend our list so as to pre-
vent US from having to resort to them.

We believe that the principle of Temper
ance is plainly taught in the Bible, and that
we ought to prohibit our members from ma
king, buying, selling, or using ardent spir-
its in any way, except for medicinal or me-
chanical purposes.
The above is one of the articles of Church
government and fellowship adopted by a
large number of the Missionary Baptist
Churches in Western North Carolina, and is,
in our humble judgement, the proper posi-
ton for all evangelical Churches of Christ to
occupy. There is no denomination of Chris
tians in the community who are more anx-
iously and actively ado pting measures to re-
move from its pale the foul contagion of in
toxicating drinks; and also giving all the
weight of its influence in behalf of the pro-
hibitory measures now agitating the public
mind. We rejoice to see this, and commend
their noble example to the commentator of
other branches Of the Church. The Bap-
lists, in the last twenty years, have done
much for the promotion of Education and
improvement we bid them God speedin their
high and holy efforts in behalf of ignorant
and suffering humanity. In the cause of
Temperance, the Baptists will be among the
foremost in Kidding our good old State from
the foul liquor scourge.

n man or set of men are entitled to ex-
elusive or separate emoluments or privileges
from the community, but in consideration of
public services" So says the Constitution of
North Carolina, and is positive and direct au-
thorlty against granting license to persons to
Misunderstanding drinks. But the law sets itself
up above this high authority, and says a GER
tain class shall have this monopoly granted
to them, Notwithstanding the Constitution is
against it. The Constitution says all men
are equals and entitled to equal privileges +:
but the law says all shall not be equals-tbe
favored teo shall possess this separate emol-
ument and privilege |"
Are men longer to be gulled in this way p
The idea of a principle is a very good thing,
but a principle, to be of any value, must be
carried out and acted out. We contend that
the license law is at variance with the con-
stitution, unless it can be shown that the IL
cense is granted "in consideration of public
services" To attempt this is utterly falla-
cious.
