than merely to bring InWWe you. Se veral filler Hates in tfo afford a happy illudration of the Tyrant I would recommend, and prove to tmKiphjd be yond the possibility of doubt wnWlNhinlc mud now be generally admitted, that fan guirury punishments do not anfwcrlthe end proposed. Let us profit then by the experience of others, and adopt a system of criminal jurifprudcncc consonant tosthc nature of our free and happy governmental and more confident with the principles or*| h imanity than the one now in force in this (late. The importation of negroes into this ’ Hate, from our filler dates, particularly thofc of North-Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland, has increafcd to an alarming extent. The indudrious and faithful slave is fcldom to bo purchased, more especially at a low price; we are not therefore to ' suppose that such arc introduced here for falc, on the contrary the speculator finds it his intered to seek them in jails and other places of confinement, from whence on ac count of their infamy of charatter they arc purchased very low—such confequcntly are those generally to be bought here. There docs cxid a law prohi .itory of this traffic, but if is in faft rendered nugatory and of no avail—the defers are fu Well known that I need not mention them. I am decidedly of opinion, that the Lcgifla ture will consult the true intered, peace and fafety of the date by pafling a law fuffioicntly coercive as to penal rellraint and aftual forfeiture of the property, and bar the imroduftion of this description of domestics. Already we have so many of them, that 1 fear the evil has taken its root. We (hould also refleft that it is not our policy to drain our fidcr dates too much of this kind of property. Information having been communicated to me from a highly rcfpeftable source, that an attempt would in all probability be njiade to land in this date, a large num ber of French negroes, commonly called Brigands, and feeling it my indifpenfible duty to adopt mcafures to prevent the in troduftion of a Banditti so dangerous to the peace and tranquility of the date— I accordingly oidered Major General Jackson, to take such Heps as he Ihould deem requisite to afford the sea cod the ne ccffary proteftion, and to cause the ear lied information so, be adbrded of their approach— and eitery refidance to be ex crcifed in case of their being landed by force. 'The cxpence may be confidcrable, but no calculation can be formed of that which a landing of this set so hollile to order would have occasioned, whatever the amount may be the precaution is well worth it, and 1 have promiled it lhall be defrayed by the' and I hope it will be provided for. I Have the fatis. faftion of hearing that fcveral of our filler Hates have been equally watchful to pre vent the landfng of this Banditii on their shores. The fccretary of date, in conformity with the inftruftfons of the Legillature, entered into atontraft with Mcflrs. Sey mour, Woolhoptfir and Stebbins, printers of Savannah, for the printing and binding of zoo© Volumes of Marbury and Craw, ford’s Diged of the Laws of the State. The contract was prefenced to me and met with my approval,' from a conviction that the utmod had a* done to obtain the lowed terms, but notwithdanding the coll will exceed the appropriation of the lad feifioh, and will require that provision be made for its dicharge. The 2000 Vo lumes were by contra*! to be delivered at Louilvillc, by the fird of November next, and 1 have every rcafon to believe it will be complied with. Agreeable to a resolution of the Legif •laturc at their felfion in June lad, 1 iflued an order directing that all claims Ihould be exhibited to the Executive Department, •which the citizens of this date have a ga’mll the Creek nation of Indians for property plundered. A confidcrable num. ber have m consequence been collected, and I would recommend that a fchcdule of the whole property contained in the vari ous claims be made out, with the value annexed and held in readiness to be de inanded at the fird treaty, which may be held with the Creeks, conceiving it the only means left, by“ which we may ob tain of them a in dis • charge thereof, and thereby afford the fuf ferers jufticc. ‘ The notes received at the falc of the Indian goods in the year 1801, having been fomc time due, I directed them to he placed in the hands of the solicitor ge neral for recovery. I have not heard how far the building has'prbgreffcd at Athens, the feat of our L’nivcrfity, bur have every rcafon to be •Leve, from the preparations made fomc •time ago, that it is in a pleasing progres sive Hate, and I fioccrely hope all opposition, on account of the fit nation td , the completion of this .great national oh- 1 jcft will cease, anct the fabric of Icience, rife rapidly into view, A ftatemcnt of warrant* drawn upon the Treasury during the political year will be laid before the Legislature.

About to retire from the government, I (hould be wanting in judice to the offi. cers in the fcveral departments of date, were I not to express my entire approbati on of t icir coodudl during my continu ancc in office. = Amidd plentiful crops, the blcffings of peace and the continued prosperity of eve ry part of the Rate, we have abundant reason to be tliinkful to Almighty God— as a people w« have been peculiarly favor ed, and it Sfecomcrus in our conduft and examples, to evince our gratitude to the Supreme Being, and to merit a continu ance of his goodStefs.
