The Athens Post

The Nashville Banner thinks the above a very appropriate termination of the Montgomery farce.

Mayor Tieman, of New York, seems to be extending his jurisdiction in the great moral reformation he has undertaken. We learn, through the Express, that our Georgia neighbors are to have the benefit of his official labors in order to stop their downward career through the instrumentality of that invention of the great enemy of souls, Sam. Swan's Lottery. Within the vision and under the nostrils of this great moral conservator, fraud, peculation, adultery, fornication, wife-whipping, arson, robbery, theft, prostitution, seduction, abduction, rape, rapine, and murder, exist, flourish and spread, and in nine cases out of ten go unwhipt of justice.—And one would think that the worthy Mayor had business enough on hand at home—that the unexampled wickedness, vice and crime of modern Sodom would afford full exercise for his official energies. He evidently belongs to that bilious class who go about soliciting alms for the conversion of the heathen of distant lands, while the devil is permitted to rage rampant in their own households. Commend us to such disinterested solicitude and benevolence, always.
