EXECUTIVE DEPABrMENT, GEORGIA.
Milledgeville, 17th May, 1833.
"VSTTIEREAS, by an act ofthe General Assem
* T hly of this State, passed rhe £lth day De
cember, 1831, entitled “an Act to provide for the [
call of a Convention to reduce the numberofthe
General Assembly of the State of Georgia, and for
Other purposes therein named,” it is provided
•‘That it shall be the duty of His Excellency the |
Governor to give publicity to the alterations and
amendments made in the Constitution in reference .
the reduction of the »>>• -u.. -c ■, j
iue c un(oer u . members com-1
dosing the General Assembly— and T n e first Mon
day >.t October next, after the rising of said Con
vention, he shall fix on for the ratification, by the
people, ofsuch amendments, alterations or new arti
cles as they may make for the objects of reduction &
equalization of the General Assembly only: and if
ratified by a majority of the voters who vote on the
question of “Ratification” or “No Ratification”
••-then, in that event, the alteration so by them
Tnadc and ratified, shall be binding upon the peo
ple ol this State, and not otherwise.” And, where
as, the Delegates of the people of this State, as
sembled in Convention under the provisions ofthe
before recited act, have agreed to, and declared
the following to be alterations and amendments of
the Constiution of this State, touching the repre
sentation of the people in the General Asssernbly
therfeo, to wit:
“Whereas, the third section of the first article of
the Constitution of the State of Georgia is in the
following words, to wit: “The Senate shall be elect
ed annually on the first Monday in November, un
til such day of election be altered by law, and
shall be composed of one member fiom each coun
ty, to bit chosen by the electors thereof.” And
whereas a part of the seventh section of the first
article of the Constitution of the State of Georgia
is in the following words, to wit: “The House of
Representatives shall be composed of members
from all the counties which now are or hereafter
may be included within the State, according to
♦heir respective numbers of free white persons and
including three-fifths ofall the people of colour:”
Am’, in the same section, the following, to wit:
“each county containing three thousand persons
agreeably to the foregoing plan of enumeration,
shall be entitle.l to two members, seven thousand
to three member, and twelve thousand to four '
members, but each county shall have at least one
3nd not more than four members.”
And whereas the aforesaid third section, and
the said parts of the seventh section of the said
first article of the Constitution, touching (’».’ re
presentation of the Gcncrd Assembly ofthe State,
has been found, by experience, to be defective, on
account of the great numbers in the Legislature
and the enormous expense on account thereof—we
the Delegates of the people ofthe State of Geor
gia. in General Convention assembled, chosen and
authorised by them tn revise, alter and amend the
said two sections ami other p.ntsjf any, touching
the representation ofthe people of Georgia in the
General Assembly, have, after mature reflection
and deliberation, declared the following to be
amendments in lieu of the aforesaid third section,
and parts of tho seventh section, which,
when unified by the people of the Stale, shall be
taken, held and considered as parts of the Consti
tution ofthe State of Georgia in lieu ofthe afore-
Baid.
“The Senate shall bo elected annually on the
first Monday in October, until stieh day of elec
tion shall be altered by law, and shall be composed
of one member from each senatorial district to be

From the JVeic-York Com. Advertiser.
From “ The Life and Adventures of
dimus Duckworth—A. N. Q.,” to b e punish
ed in a few days by Mr. Stodart.
boring A DUTCHMAN’S SKULL.
Yaccup Donnervogel, a bruising Dutchmanr,
having one day got into a battle with Barney
O Blunderbuss, the Hibernian gave hint such a
blow on the sconce, that he was taken up for
dead. r
Barney in a great fright ran for the doctor,
Ive kilt a man .’ I’ ve kilt a man, docthorl
--clean dead as door-nail—and, I want von
should run and see him instantly, afore ho’s
clane gone past ail redemption'. Och 1 and
ahone 1 that iver I should come to Ameriky to
be hanged, when there’s so much hemp raised
in old /reland.”
Who is the man ? asked the doctor.
And wno should he be, returned the Irish
man of all the world but Misther DonnovergeL
the fightio Duchman, that’s for knocking ivery
body down that stands afore him—bad luck to
him !
Tis bad luck to him, sure enough, if you’tna
killed him.
He s kilt, docthor, he’s kilt clane dead—and
that s the raison I’m after ye in sich a hurry.
; I hope they won’t hang me quite, saain it was
not done with malice afther aforethought, but
|in fair and jontale combat, as one jontleman
! kills another the world round. Saint Pathricfc
;he knows I didn’t mane to kill him at all at
i all.
As the patient was not farther off than land
lord Lovejoy’s the doctor was instantly by bis
side. He was lying on a bench in the bar
room, without sense or motion, and the by
standers, of whom there was a considerable
number collected, believed him to be fairlv
dead
Ah! he’s got his portion now, said one, her
won’t want another knock-down for one while.
It’s just upon him, said another he’s always
bruising and fighting, and I was sure he’d get
killed at last. ~
Who struck first ? asked a third.
The Dutchman, said one.
The Irishman, said another.
Ng, *twas the Dutchman, repeated the first,
for I see him with my own eyes.
I say twas’nt the Dutchman, said the second,
for I was looking on all the time, and I see (ho
Irishman strike first.
I tell you, ’(was the Dutchman.
And I tell you, you don’t know any thin*
about it. B irny gin the first blow ; and he’ll
have to be hanged, if ither on em.
Thus they disputed ; and were near coming
to blows themselves. As for Duckworth, as
soon as ho saw the patient,lying mute, motion
less, and, to all appearance, dead, ho declared
he must be trepanned. No sooner said, than at
it he went.
In the first place, said fie, flourishing a scal
pel, I mustjdenudo the craukum by a criss
cross incision. Thus saying, he cut down to
tho bone, in the four part of the head, and turn
ed up the scalp.
Now, continued ho, tho next thing is to bor®
through the skull; and hero 1 apply the trep
pan.
As ho said this he produced an inch auger,
and applying it to the cranium, began vigorous
ly to turn it round and round.
Do you call that a treppan, doctor? asked
one.
Don’t disturb the operation by foolish ques
tions, returned the doctor, still vigorously ply
ing the carpenter’s tool.
it looks to me, said another, verry much like
i common pod-auger; and if’twas’nt in the'
doctor’s hands, I should say ’twas one ; how
somever, the doctor knows best.
