COMMUNICATION Os his Excellency Governor Tattnall, to both Houses of the Lpgiilaturc, on his resigning thegovernmcniof the Hate. Fcll'i’w-Citizi'tndf the Senate , and of the IJoufe of iieprefenMtweu IT will appear extraordinary that I sh ulid address the Legnfaiure of the ilate front Savannah, and not as usual from the Executive oifice at Louifviile, the feat of Government, at which place the conlli toted authorities arc annually convened on the full Monday in November lor ihepurpofcs of Legillation, and where the pretence of rhe Chief Magistrate of the state, is'conlequcnily indifpenfabiy neccf fary. The imperious caufc however bc i.’g known, it will not be con fide red a de reliction o: duty, or a want of zeal lot the public good. In the month of June lad I was severe ly attacked at this place with a copious difch.irge of blood from the mouth, which mu it have proceeded from a rupture of Tome velle! near the vital parts, and which threatened my immediate dissolution, and whas ilnce left me so weak and debilitated £ that I a n incapable of supporting a ride of £ more than three or four miles on a smooth F road. In such a fuuarion and under Inch circumrtances, with no profped before mo of Bettering my health, without going a broad and leeking it in fume climate fa vorable to the removal ol the disease, I feel it fellow-citizens a duty incumbent on me to refig'n the government of the Hate into your hands—and I requell this may be cortndered my resignation accord iW£fy—in order that by your immediate choice of another person to fill the office of Governor, all obstacles to the operation of the several Departments of the Govern ment may timely ccafc. And vvhillt X feel rnyfclf conftralned thus to ad, 1 beg of you, and my fellow.citizens throughout fhtf Hate, to be allured that were I bleffcd wl/hfufiictent health hoth duty and inclina tion would forcibly urge me to a continu ance in office for the cohftitutional term : indeed were this not the case, I should be deficient in gratitude to my country for the distinguished marks of favor and con fidence I have so frequently experienced, which claim, and I trull 1 may be per mitted to add, fccure my lading alFedion and devotion to her fcfvice....Feeble as 1 amT at present, being almoll incapable of writing, and at a distance from my office, to which it would ,be neceffury to reforr for various information, 1 (hall be com pelled to abridge very considerably my observations, and to notice only such fub jedls as are the moil prominent. A purchife of land’ having been made by the United Stares Commilfioners from the Creek Indians, at the treaty held in June last, the particulars of which as to Situation, boundaries and quantity I have direded to belaid before you, and should the fame be ratified by r the proper authori ties, it will rest with you gentlemen to determine upon the disposition to be made of the ceded Territory ; and I beg leave to express a hope, that large monopolies by individuals may be guarded against, the baneful effects of which are already too visible in our country, and the hiilories of other nations, ancient and modern, fut nifh abundant proof of thedertrudive con. sequences of these encroachments upon the naturai and common rights of men. In republics especially monopolies should be carefully avoided, for as large Handing armies are opposed to both the spirit and the fafety of them, it is neceilary to in crease the llrength of the nation by that kind of population, which will not only produce numbers but such for defence as feel an interert in the foil. The Militia Laws of the Hate require revision. The ad of 1792, withchead dirionof sundry clhufes taken from ads lubfequetnly puffed with a few corrections, might be framed into an efficient fyflem ; as there at present exill a varfc*/ of laws on this fubied, and chafes of some re '■ - ■ i’ (Vof XTVir. No. S43J pealing parts of others, and in some in stances in terms so general that donuts a rise as to the extent of the operation, they arc rendered complex ; whereb; U th offieers and privates arc fubjeted to y t'rrors. A committee ot military men ic, lected from the two, branches of the Le gislature for the purpose, would by devue, ing a lew hours to this highly important luojeet, remedy all the inconveniences com* plained 01. And whillt we have in view' the militia ot (he Hate, permit mo earned, J>’ to recommend to your attention the a* doption ot means whoteby they mi) be armed and equipped for actual service the mod it not all of our lifter, Hates have already attended to this highly ctiential objcdt-.-che principal bar which has hi, t her to, and which does Hill ,e\id, to the citizens pioviding iheirdelvcs wiili ;nuf« icets and accoqtrcmcnu, proceed# uam the utter impofliunity, more particularly in the upper country, of par, hating Jk .o .It any price—to rente ly therefore this evtj, and to render toe (apply as speedy as pof liblc, and .he caliber of the myfc/s of one lizc throughout the Hate, i ,voaid recom mend that provision be made to enable the Executive to contract tor one tourth at a time ot the number of muikets, hoikmens piltols, (words, Scz, required,—wb tell lliall under !vis directions be dtlpolcd ol irt dtderent par.s of the Hate at cull and charges ; and the proceeds again veiled in another fourth ol the qaandt/ required, and thus continued till the whole ate pro vided...! an aware that dou.is will a ale as to the lutnciemly rapid lale of the arms. Sec. bat il the olficer» will rigidly enforce the penalty ol the law on all delinquents so long as a mil Ike t or other article requir ed remains unfold at the sue or depofite neared to h;s dillrict, I have not the lead douot ot the object being vciv Ihorcly at tained; it is but reafonaolc affq to prcfuuie that a large proportion ol our fellow-ci tizens wilt readily perceive their conve nience as well as iutereft con fill ted in the measure, I have reason to believe there will be sundry propofiiions made for (ap plying the Hate with arms, &c. one has already been received from Mr. Georg* Wheeler, of Virginia, which 1 have di rected to be laid before the Legiflauire, At the extra fcilion of the Legillarure held in June lull, Charles Llirns, Esq, was elected Judge or the EaiU.rn Dillrict, in the room ot Judge M‘Alllifer, who had re fig i icd; since ihkt lime, there has been no court in that diftricl, Mr. Hum having declined accepting tlicit appoint ment, I bis fuuation is not only injuri, ous to the inhabitants ol part ot the Hate in general, but has no doubt been productive of lerious injury to individuals as well in a civil as in a criminal point of view, flufe enlarged with offences are deprived ot a speedy enquiry into their innocence or guilt, and iuuors so unrea, fonably delayed that it aim oft amounts to a denial of jullice, and ruin often follows as the ultimate contl-qucuce. Unpleal’ant as this fuuation of the Dillrict has been, I have not had it in my power to arfbrd relief. Gentlemen to whom the public could confide the important duty ol de ciding upon the lives and fortunes of their fellow-citizens caiynot be induced to aban don their privatfe pursuits, and devote their time and talents to fcrvice of the Hate without a just and reasonable competition, nor ought it to lie expected, their salaries fliould at least be fully ade quate to their cxpence*, which 1 am per suaded is far from being the case at pre, sent. Hence 1 have not been able to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation ot Judge M'Alhfter, and the subsequent refufal ot Mr. Harris to accept. Whilst upon this fubjeCt permit me to recommend to your serious attention the melipration ol our criminal cotie. The handlbrec and learned manner in which this subject has recentlj been difeufted in the public tri bunals of the country and dfewhere, fu pcrccdc the nccclficy of my entering fur tiler into it upon the prefen: oecafioa.
