FROM THt GEORGIA PATRIOT. ‘
' Executive Department, Geo.
M UedgevHle, I9lh December, JOS.
In compliance with your resolution
of the 17th instant, the acompanylng
documents are communicated.
Document No., 1. concerns the ap
prehension and confinement of Wil
jiamT. Burch in Eloicida, Rnd thtf de
mand for fcb body. It will be seen
by the extract of a law of the United
..States passed 12th February, 1793,
; that I acted strictly within the pro
visions Os that act. . The acting .Go
vernor of East Florida having caused
the said Burch to he apprehended,
and having notified me thereof, I
thereupon made a demand of bis
body. The documents will show
that the demand jras regularly made
through an Agent duly authorized,
and that nothing was omitted which
r it jgff s inf unihpnt nn the Executive to
'perform. 'l??e exjieDce incurred in
the arrest and detention, was neces
sarily required to be paid. It Fas
to have been expected that the com
; - mittee would have availed themselves
pf some of the powers delegated to
them by the. Legislature in earning for
iufrrmarion.-^-From the report made
upon this point however, the infer
rence is fair that information was not
desirable, inasmuch' as its absence
has enabled, the committee to indulge
fn ilHboralsarmise and unfounded in
sinuations unworthy' of themselves
and unwarranted by feet. The same
/ is the case in relation to the contract
for printing Lamar’s Digest. To
the most advantageous terms public
notice was given, that proposals
would be received up ton given day.
Mr. Hannon’s were a thousand dol
lars lower than any other, conse
quently they were accepted. The
work was necessarily larger than any
previous Digest. Upon the delivery
Os the work it was believed there was
too much blank space in the,book.—
Major Wood and Mr. Burch were
directed to compare it with Clayton’s
Digest and bow many more
pages there were, than there would
have been, had it been printed as
close as Claytop’*. They reported
sixty-six " r a deduction was made 4nd
Mr. Hannon paid accordingly. It is
hoped these facts will be satisfactory
to the Legislature, and that it will
appear that there was np “ want of
dye caution op the part of the Exe
cutive 1a making' the contract, or j n
v position on the state by the contriic
- tor.” Whether this information
ought not to have been sought by the |
Committee, uid whether they have)
not been wanting in duty and respect!
to themselves, to you and to this de- j
V nfirtment, are questions easily solved
by the unprejudiced mind.
Upon the subject of expenditures
for repairs of. the government build
ings, 1 would remark, that it has been
my object on all occasions to execute
the directions of the Legislature and '
to exercise my own discretion upon! J
terms as economical and ad vantageous 1
i*. as possible. v V>
a The task is at best unthankful and
perplexing, but when to are!
added the unmerited strictures of a
jfopit-fi tiding committee, the burthen
y 1 refer the Legislature
■ : io«ie work which has been done, in i
s \lu atyr wUI ven
ture to defy them to find competent I
mechanics who would accept die i
contracts upon, terms more favourable. <
Exceptions are also taken and ph>- ,i
test entered against ap\allowance i
made to a Secretary for disbursing a \
j»r?contingent fund. Whether (
each allowance is strictly correct in
~ priqoipfc I wffi not undertake to spy. (
lids however 1* certain, tbm the act |

without interruption to, »’.* present t
time. •„ '■ ;
The item ofthe dopWe Fattatit fff j
fevonr of William Stroud is.agalnte
newed in the report ofthe committee .
The repayment Os tlSe smn tfmwn by
mistake, it was thought would have
satisfied the several dettfandi of the
most rigid financier. But lam mis
taken and am made the subject of
censure, while the head of another
department more culpable man ray
self, receives a (bis ome compliment,
when the law of the sth December,
1799, requires that the Comptroller
shall check all Governor’s warrants
%. before they are paid by the
Treasurer. Now the Treasurer ac
knowledged to me that these War
rams were wot checked before they
were paid. Had he required this to
be done as was his duty, as I have
before said, the error could have been
detected ;:tbe warrant being of no
avail to the holder it would havfe been
handed back to the Executive. Mr.
Clayton will recollect that in coin
forroity whh his general course in
paying warrants wit bout; being check
ed by the Comptroller, that Nos. 195
and 201, were drawn on the Peniten
tiary fimd and paid by him, when it
was afterwards discovered that this
fund, had been previously so nearly
exhausted, that ft was not sufficient
to pay either of them, Mr. Clayton
informed site Executive of the fact
after they were paid, and said if they
were not corrected he should have to
pay the money biick to the state, the
warrants not being checked though
paid. I changed die warrants to the
contingent fimd for 1822. t *>»>*/!;
The warfare conducted by that
committee against this department is
particularly spirited and inveterate.
When every thing has been done for
the best, my claims to exemption
from censure ought to be considered
strong. But it seems that toy title to
this exemption ir obstinately dispu
ted at every step. Os one consola
tion I cannot be deprived, a con
! sciousness of havfng faithfully done
my duly. It is certainly consistent
1 with the duty of a faithful Legislatore
and vigHant committee to took well
1 to the conduct of their public Ser
* vants; But indoing thisadepartore
1 from the rules of common justice
• might-not t* be indulged. As an ex
-1 ample I might instance the report of
’ the cotnjnittee of die .last, year in
; which there are some misrepresenta
’ tions and which without sanction or
1 concurrence was placed upon the
' Journal ofthe senate and sent abroad
and used, under the imposing form
f of Legislative procedure, As I have
’ no doubt for electioneering purposes.
J I would fain believe that there are
| other topics in, the department of Fi
[ nance which would more profitably
employ the attention, of the edmmit
’ tee. Not that I object to a fair am
; liberal scrutiny, but that I abhor
censorious inquisition: I must pro
test against invidious investigation: t
; am for from wishing to lead back your
inquiries into the official'course of
my predecessors. Justice to myself,
however, will render it at least excu
sable that I call you to a review of a
Jew kerns which occulted in the
times of those who hove gone before
roe, herewith transmitted.
Byway of showing that the asser
tion of the committee, that they “have
no means of ascertaining for what
services warrants were drawn and
paid at the Treasury, bUit by resort

nor onthe contingent dz appro
