For the CHRONICLE. i
IN a free government where iht Icgiflsu
tivc authority is confided to reprefentafives,
annually fcleded by she general fuSVagc of
the great body of the people, to whom they
arc rt'fponliblc for their odkiiti cordud, it
might naturally be expected, that complaints
of oistl.condud, ciHier as to ads of bmilfion,
or more criminal violation cf public duty,
would feidotn exit!.
The reprefeutative, fubjeft to the fame
wants, having the fame intcrefl, aniT ailing
under the influence of the fame ptifikn,
which pervade his conlHtucnts, will be si
mulated to an upright difebarge of his dufv,
by the reflection, that he hiirfrlf mini be
fubjeft to the laws and rules of civil conduCl
which he may chad. In such a govern
mcnt| ti the intcreft of the date is neglected,
or grossly factificcd I>> their representatives,
dpoif examination, it will be found,
the mifehid has proceeded from an ignorai t
and policy, rather than from has ,
wicked, and corrupt motives. If has fcldou!
happened that a legtflat!, t\Rl -
nod but the anfials of legifl ttion
ift ch s Rate, for a fetics ol years pall, iticor*
teftahly proves, that, the most imports t
inttreds of 'he community have ken (h a rue
fully neglciflcj, or wantonly and nakedly
ijciincid,
'I he fuffarings of the state of Georgia 'n
the lure itvolutionary contdt, were greatir
than any other irate, and the public debt in,
currcd during thole perilous tisacs, was n
chad proportion io tnole fufirings, Th s
Jcbt was of the moll meritorious kind ; it
was the price of our liberty, ai d ough to
have b en ptsvided far, in the owtfpiomp ,
and df.dual manner. The ftatu had ampie
funds in her hands to difeharge every hcr.eft
(demand her, and her fHf cif r( s for
that pmpofe, appeared tube dictated by
Lund policy, as well as ft'iff juftjee. The
clfatts of ihufa perfuns, who bad wickedly
end tteafofttfcly adhered to the caufc of oi r
opprtflbr, were confiscated, and appropria
ted for the redemption of the public‘debt,
and the public and vacant lends were to be
difpofetl of fit/cfflrjkc-ift-lmtidzui-»<■«***-. —*
r*n tor tfce'id and for the 3d, and
in the fame proportion, as far a* 1600 acres,
by act of 1783, and by aft of 1784, at £l5
per hundred acres, asdar as 1000 acres.—
The rcfourccs were amply fuflscient, not
only to difeharge the public debt, defray
the ordinary and current expences of the go
vernment, but also to have eftahlifhcd a per
manent revenue, the intcreft of which wquld
hive relieved her citizens from taxation in
timeoFpJKce, &kttcncd their cxccffivc weight
in time of w ar.
Tbs faeafurcs were adopted, whcna,fenfe
of gratitude as well as jufticc w-as predomi
nant in our councils—but mark the result.
In the year 1783 a law patted rcksfing pur
chasers of confiscated cllates from their con
trails, and from that time, until the year
1801, the legillaturc his been engaged upon
that fobjclt, but the mifehirf produced by the
improvident aft of 1783 and those which
immediately followed h-ts never been reme
died, In the year 85 a law pattd declaring
that no purchase money Chould he required
for the unlocated buds of the Rate. Thus
were the bright profpe.il of public 1 tofperty
clouded by a narrow & fclfifh pclicy, which
preferred individual to ptrhlic good-, thus was
public pfofpeiSty & engrafted by
individuals, while 1 lie public debt, amount
ing to almost 1,000,0(50 of dollars unearn
ed unpaid, and was fufFered tnincreafe from
ywtr to year, by the accumulation of an in
terest, of 7 per cent, per annum open that
part of it, which had been funded. Tha
legislature of Georgia, after having adopted
these measures, so fatal to public credit, and
Co ruinoo# to the public creditors, appear to
have funk into a state cf political lethargy
from which nothing has yet been able to
rouse them. No serious intention to dis
charge the pu'oli* debt, or manly effort to
eftlit that dcfirable objefl, can be difeovered
in clu hiftory of their proceedings. Taxa
tion for that purpose has never been ref ined
to —the current expences of the year* have
kept our treasury poor.
Such was our Tuuaiton in the year 1803,
when the legiftatuic was called up» nfo dif
pofc cf Ihe land contained in that extent of
count rv, afterwards formed into the counties
cf Baldwin, Wilkinson mod Wayne. Bui lie
attention was excited, and the public credi
tors cherithed the fond hope, that, the juft*
tice of their claim would iropewoiiuy Fred
i'.ft-if upon the iegiflatur:, who th-’o had it
in their power, to do them ample justice
without adding to the Limbecs of the peo
ple. Bur the rest St of their deliberations,
and that of the ftxcccdtng Irgiflature, was a
continuation oft he fame wi etched policy
which fo long degraded the state in thp
eyes cf all enlightened politicians. was
then difeovertd for the firft time, that it w at
nnjull and impolitic to pay the public debt
out of the publicpropCTty —that taxation was
the only way in which the iiatc could with
juftke be dikhargd. The public land cur
