the happy condition of opr common t

nation rapidly advancing to a state c

Which will enable the Republic to (

to corrupt or abolish the pure prin- i
ciples of onr government. To the i

every advantage that could be asked }i
. for by m in. Hp.it ours to improve
with a grateful heart, all those be- ]
Refits, so signally conferred.
In the affairs of tiie General Go*'} i
vernment it is believed, but few j
changes have taken place, effecting <
its exterior relations, of immediate
importance to ibis Among |
the most important of these, may he <
conquered the opening of many of 1
the West india ports to the ves- t
sels of the United States. This was t
a measure anxiously looked for t
by a considerable portion of this (
Slate, and it is hoped that the amici- f,
paled benefits will be fully realized. <
With all the nations of the civilized i
world a perfect harm my exists, j
which promises to oitr Country a long
and prosperous peace ; and it is a r
circumstance much to he deplored, f
that there should be found any thing g
in the internal condition ol onr Coim- r
try calculated even remotely to im- f
pair the full enjoyment of such a i
blessing. It cannot huwevei; have a
escaped yon that the second Chief c
IVlagisfrate o( the Union, who united p
all hearts and all voices in his eleva- i:
tion, is destined to feel die weight of li
a restless and ambitious opposition, ci
It would have been a source'of proud e
exultation that the last of the Patri- r
ots, whose principles have been pu- t
rifled in the crucible of the Revuln- tl
thm, should have been supported in I
thtit policy which is derived from g
Washington, and which experience s
has established lobe the best ealeu- I
later! to secure to the republic, peace n
and prosperity. That political axi- g
Oiu which experience lias demon ■ e
sir it.ed to be perfectly correct, “ That ' s<
a due preparation for wSr is a mean tl
must t> he relied on to prevent ag- p
gres ion,” seems to have been for- b
gotten by those who manifest a dis- ii
position to p ill down, and destroy o!
those natiopnl defences which have I*
been so wisely planned, and as yet, p
bit partially executed. Were other j,ct
rc.is.rns wanting it would be amply ol
sulli■ ieril to establish the policy in j | t >
ijiiesiion, to advert to the unpfepar-j sa
ed stuti- of pur country immediate!v 1 jui
preceding the l ife war ; much , blood j
■a, d treasure would have been saved] b<
to tiie nation, by a few additional fn- ec
pat ;s, a few thousand well disciplin- w
cd trorps and ibttifi cat ions located w
at the most exposed and probable tei
points of attack. Rut it wouldseem re
that there are those who are deaf to of
the suggestions of experience, and so
whose political creed it is for the cb
pleasure of hoarding u dollar lot* the Tl
moment, to sacrifice thousands at p ed
distam period. A steady adherence
ton system of national defence, com- ait
• * v-i Y
ensurale with tiie resources of the an
public, and situation of the conn- an
y, is obviously a dictate of wisdom, of
or nothing short of the power of ke
polling injuries? w ill secure to the ca
nion a rational prospect of escap- M
ig the calamities of war, or the de- sit
adation of insult. Such jtas been Si
tc enlightened and energeticxourse ro
iroughout, of the present Chiel Ma-Jat
istrate, and we may well hope that Si
may not be changed from light or j to
•ansient motives, or obstructed from j tl
tistaken views of economy or the 1
fvstless aspirations of individual am-; jo
ition. J r
Turning from this slight content- It
ilatlonof the General to'the State o
overnment, I, with the most heart-,U
alt satisfaction congratulate you on 1 tl
he rapid advances which our State l v
s making to that station of inlluence a
uulconsideration which erelong sue tl
s destined tp reach in the affairs ot a
he nation. By her encreused popu- 1 c
■ition slie is entitled to an additional, c
representative in the next National t
Legislature. T(ic six new counties j
formed out of the late acppisllioo of '
territory from the Creek Nation of i
Indians, are now in a stale of com- t
plele organization, as contemplated \
ay and pointed opt in the act of the
last General Assembly, and, from re- t
turns received fj;om each of those I
counties have exercised the rights of ;
free.men, to he representerl in the le I
gislatiye councils of the State, by I
the election of a Senator and Repre- (
sentativo front each county. 1
As onr State is fast encrensing in <
population, extension of territory. 1
and wealth, it is,to be lamented that i
there exists so deplorable a deficien
cy in our system of ucation and 1
Internal Improvem-nt. 'i’liese ol)
jects have been so repeatedly pre
sented to the Legislature, and are in
trinsically of such vital importance
to the prosperity, happiness, strength
and influence of the State, that it is
deemed superfluous to say more, than
that it is sincerely to be wished, that j
we may no longer, by the assumption
of the name, 'satisfy ourselves for the
substantial benefits-of ii digested anil
operative plan of genyral education
and internal improvement. Hermit
me however to call your attention to
the Poor School Fund, ami to suggest
whether if would not ultimately re
donnd more to l)te advantage of the
State to have lliat fund added to dtp
one appropriated to County Acade
mies by the last Legislature. - lit do
ing tins, I am solely actuated from
llMHlattdllfJtfei ft
manity and science, will prove illuso
ry. There is. happily, too little
poverty, and too much proud inde
pendence in our country, ever to
render poor schools on an extensive
plan, necessary**>r profitable to the
community.—-And should an entire
abandonment of the system, not com
port with the views of the system, not
comport with the views oft lie Legis
lature, it is respectfhlly conceived
that all (lie beneficial results may bo
realized by making the transfer of
the fund conditional,, so as to oblige
the several Academies to educate
gratuitously a given number of poop
children, selected in such manner as
may be deemed musi equitable and
just. •
Exertions have been repeatedly
made to procure n suitable person to
fill the office of Engineer, but 1 re-1
gret, that they have as yet proved 1
unsuccessful. There have been ap-i
plicairfs IVn the office, but the want!
of sufficient., vouchers fur their skill
and experience, has hitherto prevent
ed the Executive hazarding an ap
pointment; The only individual
now in the Southern .States, who is
known to have given practical evi
dences of his qualifications, for an
office of this kind, is a Mr. Fulton,
now iu the employment of the State
of North Carolina at five thousand,
dollars per annum. This State, 1
Irom the talents and industry of (his
gentleman, is said to have derived •
signal benefit. As the services of an
Engineer are, to plan and direct and
not to labor, I would respectfully sug
gest the propriety of attempting to
fleet an arrangement vvitli that State, i
to as to have the services of thtit gen- 1
leman in conjunction, upon such I
irinciples as may be deemed equita- i
>le and Just. From (he length of (
line he has been in the employment |
if North Carolina, it is hoped; and 1
relieved that sue!) an arrangeipent is 3
jfaelicable, and tiie occasional servi- s

From the correspondence herewith

the President of the United States,
agreeably to a request of the 1
tine, as expressed in resolution of
the 22d December, H2l, caused the
commission with which Gen Preston
had been charged, to he continued

application by the Executive to the
President, he has directed that the
claims in question, mtvjo out in con

which Gen. Preston acted,.be receiv

adopted for establishing thosd elnims
is so rigid as to preclude jimmy of (he
claimants, from recovering their just

one ol the secretaries of tins depart

interest on those claims, are given in
the opinion of the attorney-general of
the t pile States, a copy of which is
herewith transmitted.
Isy a resolution ol' the legislature,
approved 22d December last, the
executive was requested to open a
correspondence with the President of
the, United 'States, with a view, if
possible, to pure are satisfaction in
money or otherwise to lie made to
certain Ufiorokec Indians or heads of
Indian families, for reservations of
land liing within the limits of lifts
state, claimed under the treaties con
cluded at tne Agency on
tile Bth day of duly, 1817, and at
Washington-Oily on the 2?fh Fob
mtwy, 1819. Upon this subject (he
! President has given such directions
,ds is hoped will produce an amica
ble adjustment of those claims.
from the circumstance of much,
time haying been necessarily con-,
sumed in examining the records and
files in this office, for evidence to
support the claims for miijfia ser
vices rendered under the nrdeV* of the!
| President in the years 1791, 8. and l
i. 1 was! unable to Comply with the l
the directions of the legislature, as 1
embraced in’ their resolution of the |
2;.’d December last, in tririffjpitting j
the memorial upon this subject, with
the documents, to (he President, our
Senators and llcpresentatives in Con
gress, until the l oth February follow
ing. Fhe Secretary of War ac
knowledged the receipt of my com
munication, with the documents, and;
states that “the President was dear-j
I}’ ol the opinion that the w!iol£ of !
the expense ol defending the Union

treasury, and mvpart of it from any
particular state.” I also received a
letter from our Senators, dated Ist
March, and from one of our Keure
sentatives, (Dr. Abbot) dated 6th
March, upon the same subject, which
are transmitted. For the views of
the remathing part of the delegation,
f refer you to their letter of the 13th
of 1 lie same month, which is also sub
mitted.
The report of the military com-,
mittce, made by Mr. Elliott to the

recommending a resolution “That

The proceedings in the District li
Courtin relation to certain Africans |,s
illegally introduced into the United I f
States, are still pending. The con-' t
test upon this subject has lately been 1
greatly euhiged by the institution ofji
two suits in Baldwin Superior Court t
—one in favor of the creditors of i
William Bowen, and the other in A
favor of Bowen himself. The first is j I
progressing byway of levy of execu- j
tions upon the thirty-live Africans t
nowin possession of the state, and (
the last by action of Trover against i
the States"’ agent charging a conver- <
' slorr of life whole number, wit, 95. — 1
It will be for you to take such notice t
of these transactions as you may 1
think proper. Thus far the cases 1
have been defended at the instance ol I

frayed by drafts upon the fund arising
from the sale of Africans in 1 818.

latter document it will be seen,- tliut
Von the 12th day of August last, Si
-1 man Whitaker, Esq. was appointed
■j Secretary of-fetate, in (lie place o
Abm-r If am nond, Esq. The causes ■
. which led to this exercise, as it is con- j
1 ceived, Us a constitutional right and
political duty of the executive, 11
deem it not, improper to submit to
yonr consideration. About a month
previous to the I,2th August last, Mr. |
Hammond, without the knowledge
; of tliis department, had absented him-)
' self from the seat of government, nor;
j did he intimate to this department the
1 length of time he intended tube a b-‘
sent, or the place whither he was go-j
ing. A clerk, contrary to the ex
press orders of the Executive, persis
ted in the discharge of the duties of!
the office as deputy, acting solely un-!
der n letter of attorney from Mr.!
; Hammond, and signing his indivi-l
j dual name ibr that of the Secretary j
1 “ Fhos, 11. ( rawford, for Abner
Hammond, Secretary of State.”
1 he absolute uncertainty of the time
at which the Secretary would return,
it depending upon contingencies
which might pto tract his stay to an
imlenite period—knowing that there
existed no law of the legislature
which Would legalize the acts of his ’
clerx, no matter under what authori- i
ty from his principal he might have 1
acted—and believing that the great i
seal of the state, which had been 1
solemnly intrusted to me, arid accord- (
ing to the forms prescribed, solemnly 5
committed to the safe keeping of the (
Secretary, had been by him illegally -
rind improperly transferred to a mere i
boy, acting under no oath 6r legal re-# ;
sponsibility j. in fine, knowing that j
the office for the time was vacant, I
and that it had been vacated to all ;
legal intents by (he act of Mr, Ham- I
mond himself, and that his long ab- (
settee,, and the uncertainty of his
speedy return affording no sufficient £
ground for die exercise of Executive r
urbearatice ifi bis favor, without a Ire
firett and payable pwfefence to to-, u*
Ijvhhtal-convenience, at the expense y<
if the public good, and the rights) of ct
ho community, I deemed it my mi-, th
jet ions duty, under the 'Jth section tu
>f the 2d article of the constitution, »n
i) resume the Grout Seal of the Stale tl
md confide it to the keeping of air
more attentive officer. Mr. Whita- li
ker was accordingly selected to fill
that vacancy, and was the day there- u
ifter regularly inducted into office, si
So far however, as provision could f*
he made to secure Mr. Hammond 1
from all possible Injury by this act, 1.
his feelings nv his rights wefe tor- tl
gotten or neglected; for it was ex- t 1
pressly mentioned to his successor, -j
that it would be gratifying to the I
Executive, in the event of hs. return, r
that he should resign the office, and I
that he should retain the clerks then t
in the office, AH this was done with t
the view to the m appointment of t
Mr. Hammond. The principal in i
jury sustained by him, as attributable .
to Ins own indecorous, rude, and vttl- I
gar conduct, on his return at his first i
interview thereafter, with the Exo- <
entire and the person appointed. - :
From the document herewith tre.ns- t
niilte:!, it will be seen that ihE solici
tude f> his welfare, was on his part, i
totally unmerited. For years, lie i
has been more inattentive to his do i
ties than any officer attached to the
State I loose. He has often been
finable, from various causes, to sign
his name, and frequently got some
one of the young men in the office to
do it for him if this is all owed of, he
need never go into his office—-it is
therefore communicated for your
consideration.
Upon :» deliberate view of this act,
vvidi all the. facts and arguments
which haVe been arrayed for its
support and opposition fresh in my
recollection, 1 now assert that it was
a measure, which 1 then believed and
yet conceive, the interest of the state
required, and the provisions of the j
Constitution demanded. That I may j
have erred from a defect of judgment
is possible, for failability is the lot of
all men. And there are no instru
ments more variously construed, than
the charters of our National and
State rights. In the formation of
my opinion upon the article in ques
tion, I sought neither to force a pow
er by implication, or torture words
to a meaning not intended so) them.
It is a rule of construction dictated
by plain reason, as well as fonnded
on ietml axioms, <* That every ufirt
-"I nr.ai rmgur, JF possible,
to lie allowed some meaning, and
made to conspire to some common
end.”
It never could have been Intended
by the wise framers of that instru
ment, which was oiade fo> the gdotjt
of the whole community, that the o
perations of the government mjght
he suspended by the capricious ab
sence of an'high officer of .state, and
that tim'd should exist ho todeerning
power for such an evil, both speedy
and efficient in its operation. Is it
not more consistent with the princi
ples which they had in view, to con
strue that power as a political one,
specially granted and to be exercised
at the discretion under the legal and
• constitutional responsibilities of the
Chief Magistrate of the .State ? Such
I conceive to have been the intention,
sucli the specific grant as applicable
to the case ffi question, and such my
responsibilities.
j As to the question of vacancy or
! no-vacancy, suffice it to say, that I
conceive, had Mr. Hammond died or
j resigned on the 12th day of August
!so fa as it regarded the community
in the discharge of official duties, it
would have had no more effect than
did his absence. All these causes,
i alike produce the same consequences
j to the people ; and if. in the one. the
protection of the rights of the cotn
| dignity should be incompatible with
those of an individual, the latter must
yield. Although as regards the pow
ers of the Executive whilst acting
■ under oath, I should not conceive,
: precedent in any case as absolutely
binding, yet I would be disposed to
give to one, the most mature consi
deration. I know of ho precedent
entirely analagousto the present case.
In principal however, tile doctrine
contended for is conformable to the
views and practice of one of my 1
most enlightened predecessors, ’ asj
will appear by documents herewith!
transmitted. It is well known to;
those who were acquainted with the;
late Governor Jackson, that he, hav- j
ing himself been one of the framers
of the Constitution, must have un
derstood and regarded its true prin
ciples. Under his administration of:
the Government, we find that he is- i
sued orders directing the State House!
officers not to leave the Seat of Go-!
vernment without his consent, and |
dictated the hours they should attend 1
at their respective offices for the des- '
patch of business. None that knew !
liim, will believe that he would issue,
an order, a nullity in itself, and whichl *
he was not empowered virtually to i f
enforce. , . 1
That this appointment of (he 'Ex-!*
ecutive lia« been by a separate and f
distinct branch of'the government
eviewed and pronounced ilW.,i I
constitutional, is folly kn *
ou. arrogating to mv SP IB
0- branch of the gove rn J®
he power to decide upon the' *■,
utionol rights of the Judicial dnM
nent, I claim to have exercis/dH
his case, the powers properlybel B
ng to, and expressly given to ,■
Executive. ■
Ike framers of our
indoubtedly supposed,(hat ini"®
itrtiiKcnt, they had laid n ' B
foundation on which the wisrfoJH
future Legislatures might
laws, securing to their const!,
Ihe full and free enjoyment (l |- Bl
their just rights. It devolves B
you to enquire whether that , m | 'S
been sufficiently attained— -if j, AHj
not, to devise means by which it ml
be more effectually secured. [i|
