MESSAGE.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, >
Millf.dgf.ville, (j Nov. ItSkx \
Fellow Citizens of the Semite
and House of Rcprescntati vts:
I congratulate you upon the successful
removal of the Cherokces from the State;
that you will no longer he harassed in
your legislative proceedings by the per
plexing relations which have hitherto ex
isted between them, the United States,
and Georgia; that our citizens are at last
in the quiet possession of all their lands;
and the State the undisputed sovereign
within her own territory.
Immediately upon coming into office a
correspondence was entered into with in
telligent persons in different parts of the
Cherokee country for the purpose of as
certaining the temper and designs of the
Indians, and the extent of the danger to
be apprehended from them, and with the
Secretary of War, and Col. Lindsay,
(then commanding in the Cherokee coun
try,) as to the force which should be
provided to give security to our citi
zens.
Enquiry was made into the conduct of
the agents who had been appointed to
protect the rights of the Indians. It hav
ing been found that this trust, important
both for the character and peace of the
country had not been discharged at all
bv some, and abused by others, and that
considerable irritation had already been
excited by trespasses upon the property
of the Indians, and by the unauthorized
interference of the officers of the United
States in assuming the right to adjust
them; measures were taken to control this
improper conduct of the officers, and
respectable agents were appointed to take
care that wrongs done to the Indians
should be properly redressed.
It was considered highly important not
only to secure the people against actual
danger, but to create among them such
confidence in their safety as to prevent
the panics from idle rumors, to which
those who arc exposed at all to attacks
from Indians are peculiarly subject.
The militia of the Cherokee country
having been disorganized by the with
drawal of a considerable part of its force
to Florida, orders were given and re
peatedly enforced upon the officers toper
feet their commands.
A regiment composed of one company
of mounted infantry in each of the Cher
okee counties, was formed and armed in
pursuance of the act passed at your last
session.
Upon the urgent request of this de
partment ten volunteer companies of
mounted men, of the mil itia of the State,
were taken into the service of the United
States, and stationed near the large In
dian settlements in fortified positions, as
assembling places for the people in cas
es of alarm, and to control the conduct of
the Indians.
When the requisition wasmadebythc
authority of the President of the United
States, for twenty companies of the mili
tia of the State, to be employed in enforc
ing the execution of the Cherokee treaty
orders were immediately soot by express
es to the commanding officers of the twen
ty regiments, nearest to the Cherokee
country, to raise one company from each,
have them organized, and marched with
out delay to New Ecliota, the place ap
pointed for their rendezvous. Upon Gen
eral Scott's arrival at that place on the
evening of the twenty-third of May, he
found an army of Georgia militia, armed
and ready to execute his commands.
On the 22d of May, the day before
the expiration of the time when the Cher
okees were to have completed their re
moval from the State, according to the
treaty, the President laid before Congress
the terms of anew contract, with the
Chiefs of the tribe, by which he assured
| them that they should be allowed two
I years to remain in the State, if that length
jot time should be found necessary for
their comfort and convenience, that they
should emigrate themselves if they de
sired it, that the Government would pro
tect their persons and properly from all
illegal acts ofencroachment and violence,
and that instructions should be sent to
I the commanding General, to act in con
formity with these assurances. Fortu
nately lor the country, our people, and
the Indians, the dreadful scenes of strife
and massacre which this conduct of the
President was calculated to produce, were
prevented by the promptness and energy
of General Scott and the Georgia troops:
all difficulty in removing the Indians hav
ing been overcome, and Gen. Scott left
the State before he received the instruc
lions issued in pursuance of the propo
sals of the President to the Cherokee
■ Chiefs.
No troops were employed hut the mili
tia of the State in removing the Indians.
The State is greally indebted to them,
General Scott and General Flovd, both
for the efficiency of their services and the
! universal kindness with which the Indian-
I were treated.
I The accompanying documents will
I show the course pursued by the Execu
tive Department upon this subject.
About the, last of May, a body of In
dians from Florida, took refuge in tbe
Okefinokee Swamp. Directions were im
mediately given to the commanding offi
cers of the militia of Camden and Ware
Counties, to call out the whole or such
portions of their commands as they might
consider necessary for the defence of the
inhabitants. The President was inform
ed at tbe same time of this invasion of
the State by Indians, and requested to
order to that part of the country, a com
petent force to repel them. The scarcity,
and high price of provisions, the sparseness
of the population in the neighborhod of
the Okefinoke, and the want of an ap
propriation of money by the State for
that purpose, rendered it very difficult to
keep the militia In the field. Under these
circumstances, frequent applications were
made to the President and Secretary of
War, to direct supplies to be furnished,
so as to enable the militia to act efficient
ly in offering protection to the people un
til the United States troops should sup
ply their place. The Department was
answered that the United States had no
Quarter Master or Commissary, who could
be spared to perform this service.
As soon as information was received
that General Taylor had sent troops to
the neighborhood of the. Okefinoke, or
ders were issued to discharge the mititia.
This was done with less hesitation, from
the confidence which was had in the vig
ilance and ability of General Taylor, and
the information which had been previous
ly received from the most respectable
sources that the Indians were very few in
numbers and had made no attacks upon
the inhabitants. Immediately after Gen.
Taylor had stationed bis troops around
the Okefinoke, and before the discharge
of the militia, eight or nine persons, most
ly women and children, were horribly
I massacred by the Indians in the immedi
! ate vicinity of the station of a company
!of the United States dragoons, and not
Ivory distant from a considerable militia
! force under the command of Col. Hilliard.
The alarm produced by this unfortunate
! event caused the general abandonment of
l their homes and property by the people
!of that part of the country, and brought
I upon them great distress and suffer
-1 ing.
j Additional troops were taken into the
service and orders given for raising a reg
j iment which has been since organized
land mustered into the United States ser
vice, and is now operating under the com
-1 maud of Gen. Floyd. It is to be expect
ed from the gallantry of this officer and
his regiment that the savage enemy will
I soon be destroyed or Driven from the
I State.
j Application lias been made to the War
Department to pay the militia of Ware
land Camden counties, who were called
! out by the State to repel the invasion of
J the Indians. I have been answered that
.there are no funds subject to the payment
jof such claims. It will be proper, there
fore, for the Legislature to make immedi
! ate provision for the payment of the mi
litia and for the supplies furnished them
Iso that the accounts may be laid before
Congress for reimbursement.
The sum of one hundred and forty
! six thousand three hundred and forty-four
i dollars, eighty-five cents has been paid
by tbe State in the execution of the law
of 183 G to provide for thejrayment of the
volunteers in this State for services, loss
es, and expenditures during the Creek
and Seminole campaigns, and the law up
]on the same subject passed in 1837.
| This sum has been charged against the
l United States with a credit of four thou
sand eight hundred and eighty-three dol
lars, three cents, the unexpended bal
j ance of thirty-five thousand dollars plac
'edin the hands of Governor Scldey by
the Sccratary of War, to be expended by
him for the public service in the Seminole
! and Creek campaigns and which is now
jon deposit in the Central Bank, making
j the actual amount charged against the
; United States, one hundred and forty-one
thousand five hundred and thirty-one dol
lars, eighty-one cents.
: As soon as the accounts were audited and
paid off and copies made out, they were
| forwarded to the War Department with
the request that they should be passed
upon as soon as possible.
A communication was addressed imme
diately thereafter to each Senator and
Representative in Congress from the State
informing them of what had thus been
done, requesting tiiat they would ascer
tain what portion of these accounts would
be paid by the War Department and apply
to Congress for the passage of a special
law directing the payment of the remain
der. The session of Congress was too
near its close when the accounts were
transmitted to Washington City, to ad
mit of any settlement before its termina
tion, and no information has been re
jeeived trom the War Department upon
the subject since that time.
: The progress of the Western and At
lantic Rail Road has been satisfactory,
i The grading and masonry of one hun
dred miles have been contracted for up
on favorable terms; fifty of which will be
executed by the mouth of July next,
and the remainder by the end of the year.
The route for the road to the Tenue
see river has been surveyed. Several new
routes of parts of the road which had
been located, have also been surveyed in
order to satisfy the demands of different
sections of the country, and to ensure
the best location.
The length of the road from its south
ern termination to the Tennessee river
will be one hundred and thirty-four miles,
and its cost according to the estimate of
the chief Engineer, (exclusive of the right
of way, and of the services of the com
missioners,) about two millions five hun
dred and eighty thousand dollars. The
survey and location have cost about fifty
one thousand dollars.
Tbe chief Engineer is of the opinion
that the cost of the road will be less than
any other railroad in the United States
constructed in the same manner, and on
an equal scale.
In pursuance of the law, authorizing
the board of commissioners in conjunc
tion with the Governor, to sell State stock,
to raise funds for carrying on the con
struction of the road, one hundred thou
sand pounds sterling of stock have been
issued. The President of the hoard, (Mr.
Crawford,) who was deputed to sell this
stock, found it unsuitable for the market
in consequence of the form in which it
issued. Mr. Crawford was, however, en
abled to raise three hundred thousand
dollars, with the promise of an additional
hundred thousand if it should be wanted,
by pledging a part of the stock and
agreeing for the Legislature, that it will
at its present session authorize the issu
ing of such stock as will suit the Euro
pean market; that it shall be offered for
| sale to the contractors as early as the
month of April next; and that the money
which has been advanced shall be refunded
out of the proceeds of the sale. The
| State is to pay five per cent, interest up
on the loan of this three hundred thou
-1 sand dollars, from the time that the bills
j drawn by Mr. Crawford on the contrac
tors, shall be accepted and paid in Lon
j don. The funds thus obtained in New
i York have been sold here for a premium
of about four per cent.: so that the use
|of three hundred thousand dollars in
| Georgia money for one year has been
j procured for the State, w ithout cost, or
j not exceeding one per cent, per annum.
1 'Phe Legislature is requested to make
! immediate provision for fulfilling this con
tract.
Means must also be provided during
| vour present session, for the purchase of
'the iron railing for the road. As the
State will probably have to rely almost en
tirely upon credit for carrying on its
works of internal improvement, it would
perhaps be good policy to authorize at
once the sale of stock, sufficient not only
ito repay the three hundred thousand dol
' lars borrowed and for the purchase of iron
railing, hut for whatever amount may be
; necessary for the entire completion of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, and for
j giving to the railroads which arc now pro
! grossing by incorporated companies such
; assistance as may he demanded by the
: public interest.
The great value of our agricultural
productions in Europe, the freedom of the
State trom debt, and the high credit of
our Banking institutions and mercantile
men, will enable the State to enter the
Stock market with many advantages.—
The accumulation of wealth in Great Brit
ian and the filling up of all the avenues of
profitable labor, and investment, have ren
| dered the price for the use of money cx
j ccedingly cheap there when compared to
its value here. 'Phe extended commer
cial connection between Great Britian
and the United States, and the approach
| w hich they have made to each other by
j the late improvements in steam navigation,
have made the surplus money of Great
Britian almost as accessable to us, as its
’ manufactures of iron and cotton. Nor is
: there any stronger objection to our be
coming borrowers of that surplus capital
to add to our means of accumulating
wealth, than to our purchasing its pro
ducts when they can be obtained cheaper
than similar productions in our own
j country. So long as the use of money is
j worth eight per cent, per annum in this
{ State, it cannot be injurious to the public
interest to bring money from abroad at
five per cent., to be employed in construc
ting works of internal improvement, whose
profits will most probably repay the capit-
Ia! and interest expended upon them in a
! very short time, and which might not be
executed at all without thus obtaining the
! aid of foreign capital.
The risk and delay which must al
ways attend the trade from the Gulf ol
Mexico around the peninsular of Florida
1 with the cities of the Atlantic, and with
: Europe, can be best avoided by a line ol
rail-road from tiie Chattahoochee river to
the Atlantic. Great advantages would he
derived from thus directing this trade to
our seaports, and the course of travelling
between the South and the North through
this State. Still greater advantages
may he anticipated from completing
the - Western and Atlantic rail-road and
the rail-roads which connect it with
our principal cities. The difficulties
which the Allegany and Blue Ridge
mountains present, to the transportation
of the vast productions of the Western
and South-Western "States of Indianna,
Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee,
Kentucky, and the upper part of Alabama,
to their markets on the sea-hoard, can
nowhere he overcome with so much ease
as through these lines of rail-road.
If we shall ever succeed to the extent
of our wishes, in enjoying the advantages
of direct importations from Europe, of
the proceeds of the sales of our agricul
tural productions exported thither, it must
he by these facilities for transportation
bringing such an accession of capital to
our cities, as to enable the southern, south
western and western merchants, to sell
what fhey have to export, and obtain their
supplies of European goods upon as favor
able terms, in our markets as in New
York. And by inducing the Nothcrn
to seek an exchange of
their fabrics in the same markets for our
rice and raw cotton, and the flour and
pork of the West.
I consider it therefore of the
importance, that the State shall proceed
with the construction of the Western and
Atlantic railroad as rapidly as possible;
and give such assistance, by the use of
its credit, to the companies now engaged
in making the railroads which from the
other portions of the communications be
tween our cities and the South and West,
as may be necessary for the successful
completion of their undertakings.
The application of the means of the
State to assist these incorporated compa
nies, is justified from their success being
identified with the public good, and be
cause the State can obtain money upon
credit upon cheaper terms than companies,
whilst tiie companies can construct the
roads ami keep them in repair, much
more economically than tlie public.
In thus supplying the means to char
tered companies to complete their roads,
the use of which is not free to every one, the
State should take care, however, that suf
ficient security is furnished by the im
provements themselves, for the repayment
of the money advanced.
The 111 wassce Railroad Company in
Tennessee, are constructing a roatl from
Knoxville to Red Clay on the line of this
State, and about fifteen miles from the line
of the Western and Atlantic railroad, ft
will add greatly to the trade and travel
ing which will pass over the Western and
Atlantic railroad to be connected with
this road when completed. The lliwas
see company has met with difficulties in
procuring the means of carrying on their
road, w hich will probably be overcome by
, the Legislature giving an assurance that
this State w ill proceed to make the branch
road to connect the two roads together,
I whenever the Hiwassce company shall
have so far progressed, as to render it
certain that their road will be completed.
I would, therefore, recommend to the Leg
islature to [>ass a resolution giving such
assurance.
In pursuance of the resolution passed
at your last session, an agent was sent to
I negotiate w ith the Legislature of the State
!of Tennessee for the right of way
for the Western and Atlantic Rail-
Road from the line of this State to
the Tennessee River, lie succeeded in
procuring the passage of an act hy the
Legislature of Tennessee granting to this
State for the Western and Atlantic Rail
road the right of way with the same privi
leges and under the same restrictions as
had been previously granted to the lliwas
see Railroad company. The copy of the
Act, the instructions to the Agent and
correspondence with the Governor of Ten
nessee are laid before you. Great credit
is due to General Newrtan, the Agent of
the State for the zeal and intelligence with
which lie performed the duty assigned him.
The most admirable structure of Gov
ernment and tiie wisest system ol laws can
not give security to the rights of citizens
• unless aided hy a well constituted judici
ary department. That our rights are
without this security is universally ac
: knowledged. Since the Constitution has
been altered so us to permit an improve
, merit of our present system, none has yet
; been devised which would not b<j attended,
in the opinion of the Legislature, with
evils as great as those from which we now
i suffer. This dread would seem to be ex
cessive since the sensitiveness of the
public would lie certain to direct the at
tention of the Legislature to the correction
of any mischiefs consequent upon the re
form which might be adopted. Having
expressed my opinions to the Legislature
upon this subject very fully in a formei
message, I again refer to it from a sense
[TERMS $3 IJT ADVANCE.
Nuxnaias.
of the strong obligation which continually
rest upon the Government to provide the
best security for its citizens against in
justice and opression. 4
According to tint form of our Govecn
ment, it is made the special .duty oftthe
Legislature to correct such ifnperfedtions
in the Constitution as may have been ren
dered evident by experience. On a foWn
er occasion our called to the
importance of reducing The Legislative
body, and of equalizing the reprMßfltion
of the people.
The necessity of reforming the Consti
tution in these particulars ltas*becomc
more pressing from the relhoval of the
Indians and the great inei%nse of the popu
lation of the State. The apportionment,
when made according to the census which
has just been taken, will add greatly tQ
the number of the members of the Legis
lature. This enlargement of the Legisla
tive body must its responsibility—
enhance the public expense, render its
deliberations more tumultuous, and in
crease the uncertainty of its determina
tions.
The great variety of sectional and local
interest existing in our extensive territory,
render it just to the whole and each part,
that the representation of the people
should he made equal. But it is espe
cially important that the Senate should he
constituted differently from the
Representatives, and that it should be a
smaller, a more select and stable body
than at present. If the proposed amend
ments of the Constitution would tend to
secure a wise and just administration of
public affairs it is due to the community,
and to the principles upon which our gov
ernment is founded, (the capacity of the
people to govern themselves,) that they
should be made.
The resolution passed at your last ses
sion, authorising tins Department to em
ploy a competent Engineer, to survey the
Chattahoochee River, from West Point to
Winn’s Ferry, and report the obstructions
to its navigation* and the expense of re
moving them and also upon the practica
bility of constructing a canal from the
navigable waters of the St. Mary’s to the
Chattahoochee, was not carried into ef
fect on account of the informality of the
resolution and the want of an appropria
tion to defray the expense.
The transportation of the heavy agricul
tural productions of the interior, upon
rivers, is usually the cheapest mode of
titeir conveyance to market, where it can
be used. 1 would, therefore, recommend
that a general survey and examination be
made, not only of the Chattahoochee, bat
of all our rivers capable of being rendered
navigable, and that an experienced and
skilful superintendent be appointed to di
rect the application of the public money
appropriated for their improvement, in
stead of the loose and wasteful manner
which has beqn hitherto pursued, of ex
pending the public money appropriated
for such purpose.
I would call the attention of the Legis
lature to the necessity of providing for the
settlement of all public accounts. Ac
cording to the law now in force for audit
ing public accounts, the Comptroller Gen
eral is only authorized to pass upon de
mands against the Treasury. The inter
est of the State equally requires that the
accounts of the agents of the State, iutrus
ted with the expenditure of the money ap
propriated for public purposes and drawn
from the Treasury, should be subjected
to the supervision of some officer specially
charged with that duty. The public
money has frequently been wasted, misap
plied, or not applied at all, to the objects
intended, from the want of strict account
on the part of public agents. The Legis
lature has the evidence of this at each
session in the defective reports received
. from the trustees of the Academic and
! Poor School funds. The large sums now
! appropriated for the ereefton of public
buildings, improving the navigation of
j rivers, and for the survey and construc
tion of tho Western and Atlantic Rail
road, require that this subject should re
ceive the early attention of the Legisla
ture.
Upon consulting with distinguished
i physicians in every part of the State, it
was determined, under the limited discre
tion given in the selection of its location,
to place the Lunatic Asylum in the neigh
borhood ol Milledgeville. Drs. Fort and
White, were appointed both to direct the
construction of the building, and to col
lect information in regard to the proper
regulations and management of the insti
tution, and will make their report directly
• to the Legislatures
The large number of lunatics which
1 are fount) throughout every part of the
! country, the great aggregate aindbnt of suf
fering which they bring upon families and
neighborhoods, the expense and trouble
of guarding and medical attention when
they are under the care of individuals, the
assurance given by experience, that in
well managed asylums, the cure of the
insane is more certain and their suflfeiing
'much less than under any private treat-
