John Clarke, 57 Majority for Rabun, ' 5 Fellow-Citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives. BEING appointed by (he Presi dent of the United States Agent of Indian Affairs for the Creek Nation, and having determined to accept the same, I have Itiis day resigned the Executive Government of the Stale to the hon. William Rabun , Presi dent of the Senate. In doing which, permit me to assure you, and through you my fellow-citizensgenerally, that in retiring from the service of Hie state, 1 shall carry with me a just sense of the obligation which their long continued confidence lias laid me tinder, and that my gratitude will be as lasting as my life. In the va rious and complicated duties, which in the course of my public life I have been culled upon to perfiirm, I can not Haller myself, time my conduct has been exempt from error, but my conscience acquits me of any inten tional departure from duty. Devoted as 1 have been to the service of the state, anti still ardently desiring to see her prosperous and happy, it is a reflection which gives me much plea sure, that the duties of the appoint ment I am about to enter upon, are soiniiiaately connected with (be in terest of the state, that hy a faithful discharge of the one, the other will he promoted. And I embrace the present occasion as a fit one, to ob serve, that the policy of the Govern ment of the United Stales, w ith re gard to the various Indian tribes within their boundary, having for its primary object the humane and be nevolent purpose of meliorating their condition, and if possible redeeming them from a oavage to civilized life, much of the success which ought to be the result of this policy, will de pend upon the zeal ..id ability with which it is executed—ln contempla ting the situation of the Creek Indi ans of the present day, residing with in our limits, I think it will be gene rally admitted, that their attachment ami adherence to the United States during the late war with Great Bri tain, which nut only involved them in ail the horrors of a civil war, but caused them the loss of .nearly all their banting grounds, entitle them to our protection and regard; and to a full share of the benefits resulting from the benevolent policy of our Government. From these conside rations, and with this view of the sub ject, it will not be expected that the execution of the laws regulating in tercourse with those Indians should be relaxed; so far at least as regards the agency to which 1 have beeu ap pointed, it will be understood, that no intercourse with them, which is forbidden by law, or which may have a tendency to defeat or retard their improvements in (he arts of civilized life, will be tolerated. 'At the same time, for every legal object and hon est pursuit, every facility in my pow er will be afforded. The- objects which claimed imme-> diale Executive attention after the adjournment of the last legislature,- have been disposed of. They were such generally as depended upon, or grew out of, some legislative act of that session, and need net be now particularly detailed. 1 have great pleasure in assuring you, that the state of our finances is prosperous, and competent not only to support the annual ordinary expen ces of (he Government, but to effect many objects of public utility. Permit me to recommend, that an additional sum be invested in Banki Stock. The collection of (he reve nue arising from funds of this des cription is both safe and easy, whilst that arising from taxation is attend ed with considerable expense and loss. By recommending the adoption of this measure, I do not wish it to, be understood as being of opinion, that the present taxes ought to be re pealed; on (he contrary, it is my de cided opinion, that they ought to be continued, because, the citizen is bet ter able* in time of profound peace, and particularly under the present unparalleled prosperity of the country to pay a tax, than in time of war; we have recent experience upon this sub ject, which I hope we shall profit by. It is the surplus of your annual reve nue, or sums which'may he paid to the state by the United States, which! I propose should be invested in Bask Stock. " ' J la thai addressing you, probably for the last tirfie In my life, permit me to assure you of my unalterable attachdlent to the State, in whose service 1 have spent twenty-five years of the prime of piy life, and of my af fectionate solicitude for the prosperi ty and happiness of her citizens. D. B. MITCHELL. State-House, Uh March, 1817. Executive Department, Georgia, Milledgeville, 3d Nov, 1817. Fellow-Citizens of the Senate, and House of Representatives; The late Governor Mitchell having ac ’ cepted the appointment of Agent to the Creek Nation of Indians, which had been conferred on him by the President of the United States during (he last winter, did on the 4th day of March last, resign the office of Governor ot this State, into my hands as President of the Senate.— My Proclamation announcing the event and assuming the duties, was issued on that day. 1 was therefore unexpected ly, and after a short notice, called from my domestic fireside to discharge the functions of this all important station. Had not the constitution imperiously enjoined the perilous task on me alone, the good sense of the cunmunky would no doubt have justified the want of ex perience and a more enlarged capacity, as a sufficient plea for me to have de clined the arduous trust. Under these circumstances 1 commenced the duties of the office, relying on the liberality of my fellow-citizens, fora generous allow -1 ance of any errors i might commit in the discharge of my official duties, i On the 24th day of February last, the , late Governor having been notified by the Commissioners of the Penitentiary, that the building was in a state of rfcad , iness to receive convicts, issued bis pro clamation announcing the same, and de claring the “act to reform (he Penal Code of tiiis State, and to adapt the same • to the Penitentiary System, to be in force; immediately therefore, after-i came into office, I summoned the Board ot Inspectors, and proceeded to make the necessary arrangements to carry the designs of the Legislature into operation, by appointing the officers designated by law, and directed that a Guard should be enlisted without delay, in a short time after, the institution was complete ly organized. Convicts began, and have continued to arrive from several of the counties, charged with various crimes, and sentenced by the courts to undergo different periods of confinement and la bor. These have been employed by the Keeper, under the-direction of the Board ot Inspectors, in various sorts of labor-—, such as were deemed most expedient un der existing circumstances. The com i pletion ot the building, work shops, &c. notwithstanding the indefatigable exer tions of the Commissioners, has been greatly retarded by the inclemency of the seasons, and has rendered it very in convenient, and frequently hazardous, to employ them as advantageously as they might otherwise have been. the act of last session, entitled “ an act to carry into effect the Penal Code of this State, and the Penltentiory Sys tem founded thereon,” has made it .the 1 duty of the Governor to pay all the inci dental expences that might be necessari ly incurred in carrying the system into complete operation; but nafunds were set apart on which he was authorised to draw. The contingent fund being una ble to sustain these, and the usual de mands that arc made on it, I determined to issue my Warrants on the Treasury to meet these expenses, chargeable to the fund appropriated for the purpose of completing the building. Whether my conduct on that occasion was justifiable or not, your wisdom will determine. The progress of this infant establishment, has already excited considerable feeling i throughout the state. Its numerous , friends have hailed it as the harbinger of ( order and peace, and as a place of depo sit for the lawless and disobedient— » ,whil« its enemies have viewed its ap proaches with extreme regret. Many, it is understood, have already removed without the limits of the State, and oth ers have avowed their intention of pur suing the same course, for the purpose of obtaining a situation beyond the reach of its grasp. From the experiments alrea dy made, I am persuaded that, although considerable expense has, and will for some time, attend this institution; yet un i der proper management, and the experi ence which time will naturally afford, it will ’ere long become a formidable engine, in the hands of a well regulated govern ment, for the suppression of vice and the i encouragement of virtue. For a considerable time before and since I came into office, the Indians bor ■ derhig on our southwestern frontiers have manifested a hostile disposition, by embodying themselves, plundering from the citizens of Camden county several hundred head of cattlfe, and on the twenty fourth day of February last,a par ty made their appearance near Clark’s Mills on the St. Mary’s, and wantonly murdered a woman and her two children, set,their dwelling house on fire and ef fected their escape with impunity. This distressing intelligence was immediately communicated to this department by Maj. Gen. Floyd, and severil other gen tlemen of that neighborhood. Without, delay 1 transmitted an account to the War Department, and earnestly pressed the necessity of an adequate force being K «' * placed on that exposed frontier by (U general Government, in order that J, tectum might be afforded ta thedd'eL less inhabitants who were then «.!• In.m their hfones. I also instraJM Maj. Gen, Floyd to order from h« f t e sion asufficieitf force to repel those W less intruders, and to inflict sui tal u chastisement on them whenever J? 5 might be found on our borders, until ? 3 pleasure of the-General Govern'? should be known. The action Ser?? ry of War, in reply to my served, that (h, .übjjct ,«■„ ref Maj. Gen. Jackson, and that the necp * ry protection might be expected; batS fortunately for us it has not been •»<£. ! «!• W« have ttoelWe, been u „fl necessity of maintaining a detachment our militia, on the frontier ofCamde county, for several months past, un Z the direction ot Maj. Baily of that coun ty. Some time in the mohih of \u‘ while the Major and his party were mn suing a large number of cattle, whir) had been driven off, they fell in with im companies iff Indians, and attacked ther with bravery, killed several, voimdri others, put them to flight, and returns without sustaining any loss. Since tha period, I have not received information of any damage done in that quarter b\ the Indians. w * On the eighth of September, I receive ’ a communication from Maj. General Gaines, dated at Fort Montgomery on the 20th July, calling for two battalions of our militia, to be held in readiness, to a? sist him in reducing the Lower Greeks or Seminole tribes to order. I immediately caused the requisition to be complied wit!;, and the two Battalions have'* on detailed and organized,ind arenovvvvait in» further orders. In the month of April last, I was noti, fied by Mr. Crawford, the Secretary o{ the Treasury of the United States, that die had issued a warrant on the Treasur er, in favor of the Governor of Georria for the sum of three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars, in part payment of our Western Lands, which had been ce ded to the General Government: and a bout the same time, the Treasurer en closed to me drafts on the Planters' Bank of this state, and the Bank of New-York for that sum. These I deposited iu our State Bank for collection, which enabled us to nay the amount of our subscription then due to that bank, and left a eon i derable,balance, which was entered to the credit of the State, subject to future, appropriation. I also received, through Mr. Crawford, the award and decree of the Commissioners, appointed by virtue of an act of Congress, for the indemni fication of certain claimants of public lands in the Mississippi Territory, a transfer of the monies which remained in our Treasury, commonly called the Ya zoo Deposit, amounting to one hundred and eighty four thousand, five hundred and fifteen dollars, ninety-four and a half cents, in part payment of the one million two hundred and ifty thousand dollars, stipulated to be paid by the Ar ticles,of Agreement and Cession between the United States and the State of Geor gia. In the decree of the Commission ers before inentipned;the interest, ifany* which may have accrued on the forego ing amount, is claimed in behalf of the United Stales. In a correspondence be tween the Secretary of the Treasury and myself on the subject, I haveilenred that any interest has accrued to the Ur nited States. In tfte act to appropriate monies for the political year eighteen hundred amt seventeen, it will be recollected, that the sum of ten thousand dollars was set a part, under the direction of the govern or, to be equally divided between all the widows and children, say children tin der fourteen years of age, of those citi zens of the State, who were killed or di ed in the of this State, or the 1 1 States, during the late war between the United States and Great Britain and the Creek Indians; with a proviso, that not more than ten dollars should be given to any one individual. The time limited by law for applications to be made, was on or before trie first day of May last, and for want ofinformiktion of the existence of the fact, a large portiod of thatnnfor tunate class, were deprived of the benefit intended by the legislature; I therefore thought proper to extend the time, by an executive; order, to the first of September during which period, the most of those interested, have availed themselves ofthe opportunity, and brought in their claims, which have been paid off, leaving a con sidcrable balance subject to your direc tion. The attention of the legislature having been so frequently called to the subject of improvement in our navigable water courses, our public highways, and afford ing assistance to our infant seminaries of learning, by my predecessors in of fice; I should deem it unnecesary to say any thing at this time, were I not folly persuaded, that all the means which may be requisite to the accomplishment of ob jects so much to be desired, are now completely within your power. Gar funds are ample and abundant. Manv of our sister states are vicing with each other in improvements of this descrip tion, and ar<v now sharing the nappy re suits of their spirit; And shall we so for forget nut own interest ns to neglect these laudable pursuits, whifo w-e enjoy a state of peace and unparallel ed prosperity? I hope not. • Indeed I ai r * fully persuaded that, a more favorable opportunity to commcoco internal im provements upon an extrnsfresc
