COMMUNICATION
Ofhis Excellency the Governor, to tilth
branches of the Legislature,
Fellow Citizens of the Senate
and of the House of Repee/intatives *
PJR.SU AN r to your reqaeft, as expref
f?d in a concurred refoldtion pitted at your
lift session, immediately on receiving official
information thst the Convention, concluded
between the United State* and the Creek
Nation of Indians, for certain lands in the
fork of the Oconee and Ocmalgee rivers,
had been duly ratified, I tffued the procla
mation in conference of which you are
ru)w convened.—“ This information was con
veyed to ms by a letter from the Secretary
of wav, dated, the ilth of April lad, a copy
of which is herewith inolofed.
The Surveyor General has informed me
that, from his calculation, acceding to
the boundaries preferred by this conveh
tion, a copy of which is also inclofed, the
State hai acquired three millions twenty
five thousand nine hundred and thirty acres
of land, the far greater part of which is said
to he of good quality. With you rests
f %, dtfpofal of this acquisition, and no
doubt, you will bear in mind, that many
years may pass over before the State will
again have at her command, a property as
Valuable as th« present.
We have it now amply* to Ont power* to
difeharge the just debts of the State, and
the principles of juflice and morality call
on ns to do so.—-The time will coma when
thofc demands must be paid, and to ncglcft
procuring from this resource, a fund for that
purpofc will be to keep our Citizens, for
no Ihort length of time, under the burthen
of a tax already too great, but which, if
the present opportunity is not managed to
advantage, 1 fear it will be found ncccflary
to incrcafc.—lt may fairly be presumed
that the land now obtained is efficient to
enable us to relieve our Citizens from the
dread of this increase of tax—to provide for
the payment of the State debt-.and so fecofc
usbhe means of accomplishing some of the
most to be desired objects of Government
—such as the ereftirg a Penitentiary
improving the navigation #f our water
courfcs---providing arms for the defence of
our Country— -and aiding the funds of the
institutions for the education of our youth.
It will be with you, in difpofmg of this
territory, to guard against every plan
which might open a door to speculation.
—To have it laid out in fmail trafts, as
was done with that cedea by the treaty
of Fort Wilkinson, would in my opinion
be proper—large surveys, in ihe poffeiuon
of individuals, endanger orr liberty, and
arc injurious to the interest .of the oy
being kept from cultivation.-—A Citizen
who can call but'a few acres his own, feels
an independence and fatisUftion, which arc
not enjoyed by the urftable tenant.
An opinion seems to prevail, and I think
not without foundation, that the aft, pal
fed at the last session of the Legislature, for
difpofmn of the fraftional parts of surveys
in the counties of Baldwin, Wilkinson and
Wayne, is not calculated to arfwer its in
tended pnrpofe, and benefit the State.-—I
would therefore recommend a revision ei
that aft to ycur early attention, as from
&e aJvertue&wnt d the cd-rtmlffianefs ap
pjintc.l to carry it into elftft, it a?pcari
that flic Tale of thole furvcys is to commence
on the i6:h of the present month.
A lift of the Executive appointments,
made, under the gth feftion of the id arii
cle of the confticutioo of this State, to fill
vaoartcics, which have happened fmee the
adjournment of the Lcgilhturc, is transmit
ted for your consideration.
1 he death of Major General James Jack

You must hav«s viewed, witti intcreftlng
concern, the important fubjefts, in regard
to foreign relations, which have lately en

the penetration and wisdom of the chief
mugiftrate of the nation* may occaflon our

State House, Lou'fville, June gth,
Ffttends and Fellow Citizens,
The person who has obtruded the pro
ceedings of a Magifhate’s Court tojour
view, mud account for the trobli you will
receive by the following statement.
So long since as the year 1799, the fub
feriber employed Owen Megir, and another
poor Carpenter, to build a house, and the
firft step ncceffary was to advance 20 dj.
to purchase tools : a few days after, Megar
came with information that his partner had
decamped with the tools, and another work
man rmxft be employed ; this was soon done •
but more tools were to be purchased ; and the
fubferiber was advised to keep a property
in them, until the job was finifhed to pre
vent another trick.
At the final fcttlcmanr, mere than fix
years hee, THE SUBSCRIBER DELIVERED
to Mesar, a written statement op
THE ACCOUNT, AND PAID THE BALANCE
in cash, telling him, the fubferiber was
ready to explain the items to any friend
who could read*
In the present M nth, ttxe fubferiber finds
Meg»r at the Magistrate’s court, ready to
swear to art Account of one line,- vihich
had never been delivered (t To painting
your House 30 dollars,’ 1 alt ho a'firft rate
workeman would have blushed to charge
1 • dollars for the fart daubed hy Megar ;
be also boasted that he had another account
tor 30 dollars ready to exhibit, for the bal
ance of the building.
To those Friends, who are not acquainted
with the law of evidence, it is necessary to
obfetve, the affirmative oath mull be re
ceived by the Magiftrare, and that the fub
feriber’s swearing to the above statement
would not have been fufficicnt to destroy the
eff-fts of Megar's refofeitated faculties : but
will any Reafnable Being, believe that so
poor a man would omit for 6 years deliver
ing his account ?
Fortunately for the fuhfcr'ther’s feelings,
and. those es his friends, Mr. tSeorge Adam
one of the City Council , can certify , that in
an Account offome magnitude , no fnbterfuge
nuas Attempted; the demandvJas JUST, and
no length of time could obliterate the payment
in the opinion of T. SANDWICH.
