The Message, of Gov. Lmnpkin. will bo found on
the first page of our paper this week. It is not our
ii-tcntion to take up this document either for the pur
pose of examining minutely into the various matters
therein presented to the consideration of the Legis
lature, or to criticise its merits or demerits as a com
position. We would say, however, tn passant, that
if so disposed, we could point out many things in it
objectionable as regards both matter and stylo.—
Were we culled upon to pl.ico our finger upon that |
himself, in the letter of Mr. Herring to Gen. Mont
gomery, in May last. In that letter Mr. II. says:
The President yet thinks, .ns he has always
thought, the Executive has no Constitutional right
to apply military force to remove persons from any
part of the States of Georgia or Alabama.”
Now it would seem to us that such an admission
should have induced the President to pauso in execu
ting a duty however imperative. The treaty of 1632,
calls upon him to remove the intruders under the
act of 1807 from the Creek Lands, within the juris-
dictive limits of Alabama, by military force; and he
proceeds to execute a law which he believes he has
no constitutional right to enforce ! True, he may
have felt himself bound to sacrifice his private opin
ion on tlie altar of what he believed to be hss
official duties. But where the necessity of so
much precipitancy in carrying into effect a law which
ho believed to be unconstitional, and the exercise of
which did not involve consequences of imminent .dan
ger, cither as regarded, the rights of the Indians or
the integrity of the Government 7 He surely would
have been justified in delaying for a few months his

portion of it the most exceptionable, as respects mat
ter, wc would at once point to that relating to politi
cians of a “ certain class.” Gov. Lumpkin, as a
man, certainly possesses the right, with other citizens
of Georgia, of enjoying and expressing his opinions
both as to men and measures ; but thoso opinions, as
regards iho first, should not have been obtruded upon
1 he Legislature through the medium of a state paper,
and in the character of inventive and denunciation.
The views of the Governor on the subject of the
Academy and Poor School fund, should be deeply
pondered upon i y tho people of Goorgia. That fund
uinounling to upwards of $40,000 per annum, has
been heretofore appropriated in a way by no means
calculated to benefit either the people or the State.
A new and more efficient direction certainly
should bo given to it. That amount of money ap
propriated in tho way pointed out by the Governor,
we have no hesitancy in asserting would in a few
years prove of incalculable f.i'U'-fi! to the State. The
rich uro aide to educate their sons in the ordinary
schools and colleges, but the poor, without the aid
of a well regulated system of common schools, or
manual labor institutions, must remain comparatively
unenlightened.
Tho Academy and Poor School fund wc think
should he appropriated with an eye principally fo the
benefit of this class of om citizens ; and as the fund
will not warrant the establishment of a general and
efficient system of common schools throughout the
S ato, tho manual labor system should be introduced
in their stead. Two well regulated manual labor
schools, established in each judicial circuit, would in
two years provo of more real advantage to the pco-
p 1 o than all tho benefits heretofore derived from the
<1 sbursement of tho Acaden y and Poor School fund.
Wo hope tho legislature will take this matter up—
adopt the views and act upon tho recommendation of
Gov. Lumpkin.
The Governor’s views on the subject of Internal
Improvement are not, under the circumstances, pre.
cisely those wo had a right to anticipate from him.
Ilie great scheme of a centr'd work, “from some
point on the sea hoard to the mountains;" to bo pros
ecuted by the State alone, (for he deprecates the idea
of the State’s entangling herself “with individuals,or
carper: te bodies of men,”) we look upon as entirely
visionary, and well calculated to distract or draw tho
public uvnd from those schemes of improvement on
which it was rapidly shilling down, and which are
clone practicable in Georgia, viz: those undertaken
[by individual enterprise.
Why the Governor should have devoted so much
time and space in recommendimr-n scheme which he
ist have known the Legislature was not prepared
act upon, and which he must have felt was wind
hror n away, and pass over so slightly thoso groat
cs, undertaken by the |motile and ripa for exo-
tion, wo must acknowledge, we are at a loss to
rehend. Whether his object was to throw col.’
ater cn schemes which were practice, by proposing
a them which he knew to bn visionary, or to nourish
lis growing popularity in the East, at the expense of
lis waning fortunes in the West, is a matter ol hut
ittlo moment.
The time lias now arrived, when wo believe the
lestinies of tho great question of Internal Improve,
icnt can no longer ’pa aUucted by the selfish views of
time-serving politician, or tho contracted feelings
f sectional demagogues. The people arc awake to
itir true interests, and those contemptible obstacles
hich have heretofore been thrown in the way of
icir advancement, can no longer be successfully in
iterposed by designing men, to impede tho march of
hose great measures with which they are so intim.
toly connected. Wo are satisfied the Legislature
will grant liberal charters to those companies who
can and will accomplish that for tho State, which the
State can,hut nevor will accomplish for itself.
operations ; at least, until’ the competent authorities
of the country could have taken tho matter in hand,
and relieved him from the obligations of performing
a doubtful duty by the repeal of the law, or removed
from his shoulders all the responsibility and odium
which might attach to its execution. Another con
sideration, and one perhaps of greater force, wc think
fhculd have influenced him to pursue such a course,
viz: humanity towards the large body of innocent
and orderly citizens who had occupied the public
lands. Those, constituting by far the greater por
tion of settlers, had been permitted, if they had not
been encouraged, to locate themselves on those lands
by the Government I-self; they had committed no
trespasses upon the rights of the Indians ; were con
ducting themselves as good citizens, and by their la.
bor, improving the public domain. Claiming uo lc
gal right to their improvements, they yet relied upon
the indulgence which had licon usually extended to
settlers on tho public lands, under like circumstances,
viz: to remain on them until they came into market
That they should suffer for tho few disorderly wretch
es, who had, by tiicir conduct, rendered themselves
justly obnoxious to the Indians, every dictate of hu
manity ought to forbid. The inr.ocency of the
many ought not to be visited with the punishment
due alone to tha few. From these considerations we
cannot but believe, that however authorised by law,
the course of the Government has, to say the I oast of
it. Leon unnecessarily severe and oppressive. We
cannot but hope, from the conciliatory spirit of the
communication under consideration, that when other
and more lull representations with regard to tlic
ciiaractcr and condition of tho great body of the set
tlers are made to the President, his present views
with regard to their removal will be changed. And
so long as ho holds his officers amenable to the laws
of Alabama for their conduct, wc need apprehend
but little danger for her sovereignty, oven should he
resolve to enforce the law of March 1807 against the
offenders. The removal from that State end arrest
of Msj. M’lntosh and others, for disobedience to or
ders, will provo his sincerity. If lie fails to do this,
the people of Alabama will recollect Georgia in 1825,
and profit by her experience.
Since writing tho above, wo understand by the
M icon Messenger, that an agent has arrived for tho
purpose of loco* ing the Indian reserves. This will
ho done as speedily as possible. Tho reserves, siys
the Messenger, “ will generally include the Indian
towns and settlements, and all white persons will bo
removed from them, but can settle where they please
on tho Government lands.” ' This will doubtless put
an end to the existing difficulties between the United
States and Alabama.

Meteoric Phenomenon.—Those of our good citi
zens who had “ shaken off dull sloth" at an early
hour on Wednesday morning last, were no doubt
much interested with the beautiful phenomenon with
which the hoavens were illumined from three o’clock
until day-light. The scene to our editorial vision
was one of surpassing splendor. Thousands of me
teors scorned constantly descending upon the earth,
or dying off in various other directions—some of
them of great magnitude and brilliancy—keeping up
a perpetual gleam of the most mild yet radiant
light. It was altogether a eccne unexampled and
unsurpassed by any thing we ever witnessed.
The want of every tiling like accurate knowledge
in regard to these irregular bodies, precludes tho idea
that any satisfactory reason can be given for the
singular phenomenon above mentioned; yet it may
be possible that the man of science may glean some
thing from it, useful to the study of astronomy, and
interesting to the public. We shall soon see many
grave, perhaps soino profound, speculations on the
subject. " •
TAe Creek Controversy.—It would be disengenu-
[ ous in us, not to acknowledge that we arose from tho
perusal of Secretary Cass’Letter^ (published in our
Past) with our feelings of disapprobation towards tho
Course pursued by General Jackson in this controver-
f, somewhat mitigated. The instructions of the
esident to the Marshal, requiring him to “ submit
• any legal process which might he instituted against
kirn” by the authorities of Alabama, evinces a be
Billing respect for tho laws of that State; and con.
aces us of his sincerity when he authorises the Sec.
btary of War to say, “ that it was with great reluc.
see he felt himself called upon to enforce the pro-
ttons of the act of March 3d, 1807, in the State of
Bahama.” This respect for tho authorities of that
late, (together with the mild and conciliatory tone
i the wl'4>lo document, when taken in connexion
rith the fact that the removal of the intruders is post-
ned until the 15th of January) seems to be a pledge
tho part of the government, toward off if possi
ble, the anticipated evils, and a guarantee for the
continuance of tho peace and tranquillity of the conn,
try. Thp object of the postponement, is doubtless
intended to give Congress tho opportunity to act on
thesnbject. '
At tho same time the explanations and manner of
Secretary Cass’ Letter go far to satisfy us ofthehon.
csty of Gen. Jackson’s intentions, yet his reasoning
and argument (powerful as they are acknowledged to
| he) have failed to convince us of tho correctness of
; hie course in this controversy. That the law of
[Congress of 1807, makes it incumbent on the Presi
Sent to prevent settlements boiug made on the Lauds
without the jurisdictive limits of the States, by mili.
force, b readily admitted. But if that law in.
1 to give him this right within’ those limits,
I (which is probable, as the act makes no distinction)
thou it is a plain and palpable violation of tho Con
stitution, and admitted to bo so by Gen. Jackson
Liberality.—“ Mr. Daniel (lately appointed Attor
ney General of the U. S.) is said, by those who know
him, to !<c scarcely a decent third rate coupty court
Lawyer. Such is the character of the men by whom
the President is surrounded, and by whom this Gov
ernment is now administered.”
The above is from one of Calhoun’s qrgans in So.
Carolina, and affords a lamentable instance of the
extent to which party feeling and political prejudice
can carry men who have some claims \o intelligence
and respectability. Mr. Benjamin Watkins Leigh,
who ought to be good authority with the Calhoun,
ites, in answering a charge made in the late Virgin
ia Convention, against the Executive Council of tliat
State, observed: ’
“The ablest men of Virginia have-been in the
Council! and I shall take occasion to say, that the
present Lieutenant Governor (I mean the gentleman,
who being the oldest Councillor, w charged with the
duly of Lieutenant Governor,) is in point of capacity
abundantly fit for the management of tho affairs of
this State, or any oihor State in the Union; and, in
point of firmness, integrity aud virtue, there is not a
mau in the Commonwealth that would be disparaged
by a comparison with him.”
Mr. Daniel was tho individual hore alluded to, and
of whom the " Carolinian” speaks as “ scarcely
decent third rate county court Lawyer!”

The Governor took the Quth of Office for
the ensuing two years, before the two Houses
in the Representatives Chamber, and made
the following inaugural Address:
Fallow Citizens—
By .the voice of the people, I am a second
time called to the Chief Magistracy of tiie
State, and now appear before you for the pur
pose ofsolcmuizing the obligations which I am
under, to discharge with fidelity the duties of
the high trust confided. Experience has not
only taught me to feel the full weight of the
responsibilities which were iu the first in
stance anticipated, but I am convinced, that
the most pure and zealous devotion to dutv,
requires the aid and support of the people, to
crown with success the efforts of any public
functionary.
My own abilites can effect but little good,
unless I am supported by my constituents.—
But, however humble my pretensions may be,
I shall be faithful to the laws and constitutions
of my country, duly regarding the opinions of
my fellow-ciuzeus, with whose seal of appro-
bation I have been so of.en and so liighly hon-
oreci. But with all my veneration for public
opinion, and deep felt gratitude fqr past con
fidence, I am ready, if it be necessary, to sac.
rifice mv present standing, upon the altar ol
my country’s good, by sustaining the demo
cratic principles upon which I have acted
throughout the whole of my public life.
When the foundations of our republic are
in danger, personal and selfish calculations
must be excluded. I shall move forward in the
path of duty, regardless of consequences
to myself. I shall shrink from the perfor
mance of no duty, however painful, and no
responsibility, however severe. I shall look
to the welfare of the whole State, and nut coni
aider myself ihe advocate of any local or par
tial interest, i shall constantly bear in mind,
that we are all citizens of Georgia, as well
ns citizens of the United States; that we owe
allegiance to both governments; that both gov
ernments are ours, and are equally indispeu
snble to our happiness, prosperity and liberty,
that each should be kept strictly within their
respective constitutional spheres; and, final
ly, that he, who would destroy State Sorer-
eignty by consolidation, or the federal system
by nullification, is a traitor to liberty, and de.
serves the universal execration of mnnkmd*
House or Representatives, Nov. 7.
A Message was received from the Governor,
informing the House of the resignation of
Brigadier Gen. Foard,of the 2nd Brigade, 9th
Division, Geo. Militia.
A resolution was adopted to appoint a com.
mittee on the part of the House, to concur
with a committee appointed on the part of the
Senate, in considering the propriety of dispen.
sing with the joint Standing Committees. -
Notices of Bills were given, by Mr. Bates,
to make it a penal offence, for Officers or
Directors of Bonks to violate their Charters
•by Mr. Solomon, to lay off the State into
Congressional Districts—by Mr. Harris of
Walton, to compensate the owners of slaves,
executed—by Mr. Hilliard, to examine Tea
chers of poor-children, before employing them
—and by Mr. Little of Wilkinson, in relation
to small Bank Notes.
Bills were reported to define the rights of
ihe Indians, give them all the cleared land in
their possession at the time of the survey,
and a portion of woodland, and issue grants
for all Indian reserves—To reduce the fees
for grants of lots drawn in late lotteries, to
$12 for land lots, and $6 for Gold lots—To
distribute the fractions by lottgry—and to in
corporate the Georgia Rail Road Company.
Resolutions were offered, by Mr. Grubbs,
to proceed at 11 o'clock on Saturday to the
election of Brigadier Generals of the 2nd
Brigade, 1st Division, and the 2nd Brigade,
9th Division, iu the places of Genl. Tuttle,
deceased, and Genl. Foard, resigned—and
by Mr. Ward, to proceed, at 12 o’clock on
Saturday next, to the election of Solicitor
General of the Eastern Circuit, in place of
Joseph W. Jackson, Esq. resigned—and
adopted. ■ v _ 1
Mr. Cooper of Putnam, offered the follow,
iug preamble and resolution, which were read
and laid on the table lor the present:
“ We the Representatives of the good pco-
pie. of Georgia in General Assembly met, feel
impelled hv a sense of duty to ourselves, ai^d
those we represent, to express our feelings
of mortification and regret, at the unqualifi
ed and opprobrious denunciations of Ilis Ex
cellency the Governor, in his address ou the
occasion of his Inauguration, against the pu
rity and patriotism of a portion of our fellow-
citizens who have politically differed from
him.
The right, freely to express his opinion on
any matter.in which the public welfare ;nay
be concerned, is undeniable. The right,
also, to express his unqualified disapprobation
of every political view adverse to his own
is not disputed by any one ; but in assuming
tho office of Censor, over the opinions of oth
ers, we conceive he has transcended the du
ties and powers of the Executive. In that
address, he wap heard to declare that “ He
who would destroy the Sovereignty of the
States, by Consolidation, or the Union of the
States, by Nullification, is a Traitor to his
country, and deserves the execration of the
People.” Which, being interpreted, must
mean that he who advocates the doctrines
of Consolidation, intends to destroy the Sove
reignty of the States, and is a Traitor, whilst
he who advocates the doctrines of Nullification,
intends to destroy tho Union, and is likewise
a Traitor. By the expression, no other ideas
arc intelligible. It is not a simple expres
sion of Ilis Excellency’s opinion on these
matters, ncr is it a mere disclaimer of those
doctrines. It is nothing short of a covert at-
tack upon the purity and patriotism of all who
advocate those principles. Coming from an
Executive officer, it is calculated to stir up
strife, and embitter party feeling. It encour-
ages discord within the State, and promotes
not the Union of the States. It sets a prece
dent of evil and pernicious tendency, which
ought never to be followed.
Be it therefore Resolved, by the Assembly
aforesaid, that this attack of the Governor, on
the purity and patriotism of a portion of the
people who politically differ from him, was
uncalled for, undignified, and improper, is cal
culated to stir up strife, and engender feel
ings of angry opposition; and in uu applica
tion to- passing events, or existing controversy,
can we deem it to be authorized.
November 8—As it was expected, the
preamble and resolution offered yesterday by
Mr. Cooper, was taken up, on his motion to
do so. After it was read, Mr. Bates, of the
county of Hail, presented the following sub-
stitute:—
Whereas, the Senators and Representatives
of the General Assembly of the State of Geor
gia, did, in compliance with the constitution
of the State, convene in the Representative
Chamber, on Tuesday, the fifth day of' No
vember, 1833, and count up the votes polled
on the first Monday in October last, for Gov-
ernor: And whereas, Wilson Lumpkin recei
ved a majority of twepty-two hundred and
seveuty-six votes over Lis opponent, Joel
Crawford, and by the President of the Senate,
in the presence of the Representatives of
the good people of Georgia, was declared du-
ly elected Governor of Georgia for the ensu
ing two years: And whereas, in compliance
with an usage coeval with the existence of
our republican constitution, the said Wilson
Lumpkin, Governor elect, before taking the
oath of office, did deliver an Inaugural ad
dress to the representatives of the people
of Georgia—
Be it therefore, Resolved, By the Senate
Steelman, Pace, and Glascock, on one side
of the question, and Messrs. Cooper, Alford,
and Young, on the other. The discussion was
animated, and subject elicited some warmth
of feeling. As the subject was uot fairly be-
fore the house, the speakers were confined
withinnarrower bounds, ti'ian it would have been
if the merits of the matters embraced ia the
original resolution oftd the substitute could
have been discussed. Bet ides Mr, Cooper,
Mr. Alford, and Mr. Young', of Oglethorpe*
are now to be considered ns avowed uulltu-
ers. Mr. Hull, of the county of Clark, mo
ved to lay the original resolution o i the table,
together with the substitute. This motion,
after a short debate, was" so amended, as to
add “for the remainder of the session.” This
motic -t was decided by yeas and nays—yeas
103, nays 69. This was a mixed vote on
both sides. Many of those who voted against
laying on the table, being in favor of bring
ing the question to a final result, cither ffir
the original'resolution and against the substi
tute, or for the substitute and against the or
iginal resolution. This is the reason why
among the nays are to he found, Mr. Coop
er, and his political friends, with many warm
opponents of the original resolution.
November 9.—This morning Mr. Burns,
of tho county of Jackson, made a motion to
reconsider the vote of yesterday, upon the
question of Mr. Cooper’s resolution, and the
substitute offered by Mr. Bates. The House
refused to reconsider : Yeas 79, nays 95
Among the matters now before the legisla
ture. and which in due time will be taken up
for consideration, are the following
A bill to amend the act of the last session
prohibiting the circulation of bank bills un

and House of Representatives of the State of
Georgia, in General Assembly met, that the
following Inaugural address delivered by Wil
son Lumpkin, Governor elect, justly challen
ges an admiration fur tho high souled enthu
siastic devotion to liberty, to State sovereign,
ty, to the Union of the States under tiie feder
al compact—to the constitution and all its
guarantees: and that he who would destroy
otate sovereignty by consolidation, or the
federal system by nullification, is a traitor to
liberty; and deserves the universal execration
of mankind.
[Here follows the Inaugural Address.']
A desultory debate ensued, which was
opened by Mr. Cooper. In tho course of
Iris speech he frankly avowed himself - a nul-
lifier. Those who took part in this debate
are Messrs. Bates, Stark, Harris of Walton,
TO THE PUBLIC.
T IIE undersigned deem it to be an indispensable
duty, however unpleasant it may be, to inform
tho public that their Father, Col. RUbSLL JONES,
of Jackson County, is and has been for 12 months
past, non compos mentis, and to caution persona a.
gainst trading with him or loaning him money. This
feet is notorious in the county where he resides, but
parsons living at a distance are liable to be imposed
upon by making contracts with him which could not
be enforced by the laws of the country; and a9 there
are not wanting poisons in community who would
be disposed to over-reach, and defraud him out of bis
property, as they might easily do, were his contracts
binding, we have thought proper to notify the
world (bat he is incapable of contracting for himself,
and that his family will not be responsible for Lis un
dertakings and promises. Merchants arid others are
therefore cautioned against suffering him to create
debts with.them, as we hereby positively aKure them
that they will never ba paid.
