Geo. Millcdgeville, Nov. 7, lrie7. $
Fellow Citizens of the Senate,
ana House of Representatives :
Duriii" tlie p;»Ht th# people of Georgia, in
common with their brethren of the other Staten, have
had, in some respects, to encounter difficulties and
submit to inconveniunccis produced hy a concur
rence of extraordinary nod untoward circumstan
ces. But in tlteir general condition and concerns,
they have reason for profound gratitude to Divine
Providence for manifold blessings conferred on them.
They Iv.vvc enjoyed a state of health almost unex
ampled—their agricultural labors Imve been lequit*
trd with abundance, and industry generally, has
found full employment and fair reward.
The deranged state of the moi.^tary nflairs of the
country lias, it is true, compelled our merchants and
trailers to pay high rates of exchange <»n die North,
and caused all our Banks, except the Central Bank,
the Columbus Bank,and the Insurance Bank of Co.
iiunlms, in common with those of the other Stales,
to suspend specie payments. But the precious met
als have had a circulation in this State suflicient for
ordinary exchanges, and the great hotly of the peo
ple have Buffeted less from the general calamity than
most of the other portions of the Union.
A diversity of opinion exists in regard to the cause
of the difficulties to which I have adverted. Politi
cal ambition,Infill disappointed and expectant, per
sonal interest and honest error, have all been busy
in attributing them to the Veto on the net incorpora
ting the Bank of the United Stntes, the removal of
the deposit#**, and the Specie Circular. But the
majority of the Nation, who have no purposes of cu
pidity to subserve, nod who are too enlightened to
he long deceived, have found more adequate causes
to the overaction which has occurred in almost ev
ery branch of business and speculation, ill “ over
trading nnd overlmuking."
Nor would the existing difficulties have been, by
so many persons, tints attributed, but »or the expec
tation that tlie people, in a moment of panic, could
bo induced to cull for tlio estitblirdimnnt of a Nation
al Bank. But happily, the recent decided action ol
thmr Representative* in Congress lias dispelled the
(hdusiun, nnd udinniiislted the friends ol such insti
tution to seek Home more successful expedient lor
•he attainment of their object.
li is to Uo regretted, that in the contest which has
■n long agitated our country on the Bunk question,
private pecuniary interests ami parly hopes, or hos
tility, have frequently been permitted to outweigh
ev'tv consideration of constitutional propriety—*hut
I rejitii-o to any that Georgia, notwithstanding some
ol her citizens of character and infliienec dissent
• n her principles, is still on the side of the Cooati-
lieu! blessings of independence.
But, apart from considerations of interest, w hat
Ims the government to do with commercial exchan
ges r 1 lie metalic currency is the only one known
|° constitution, ami no other can he substituted
but by common consent. Bank notes, like other
promissory notes, are merely evidences of debt and I has li
are only conventional,|e money, although, generally,
a convenient and safe cit collating medium.
In n commercial country like this Banks, conduc-
t-.t .wopof ! , r , " C |j,| r , ( nre of unquestionable I
vfit. II I. only r„„„ nb.i.u of 1 |,ow vr in an,nt,
tni.l of tlie giant iixclt, flint evils connected with 'them
imve niison. It tlicir issue* wero teslrictcd by lie*
|"C adjusted to their specie, instead of their nnmiiml
capital, or by limiting their profits, we should not so
frequently suffer by great expansions nnd contrac
tions of the currency, and the controvcrtihility of
their notes into gold and silver, at the will of the
holder, would cense to he mere theory.
The Georgia Banks appear to have discharged
their duty to the community aw well ns tho emergen
cies of the times would allow, for although tho sus
pension of specie payments cannot be justified, a
reasonable excuse for it may be found in the inher
ent error of the hanking system as now established.
—in the groat depreciation of Cotton, which pre
vented those indebted to them from meeting their
engagements, nnd in the fart that tho Northern
Bunks had set the example under necessities which
those of the Smith could not expect to avoid, or over
come.
I lie conduct and condition of the Banks is a sub
ject of great delicacy and importance, calling for in
telligent nml prudent action on the part of the Gen
eral Assembly, that they may devise and enforce
such improvements ns shall secure tlie rights and
interests of the community, without impairing the
privileges necessary for « safe nnd profitable htisi-
ness mi the part of these institutions. The proprie
ty of such a refortn is to me more apparent than the
menus of attaining it, hut under a sense of duly, nnd
with the diffidence becoming the limited knowledge
which I brought to the investigation, I respectfully
make such suggestions its have resulted from iny
best research and reflection.
In the charters of some of the Banks there is n
provision which declares, that a refusal on their part
to redeem their hills in specie, shall operate ns a for
feiture of their privileges: hut as this penalty is not
general, and ns the pressure, to which I have refer
red, has extended alike to all, it will ho for the Leg
islature to determine the propriety of overlooking
past delinquencies, and passing nil net requiring all
Banks to resume specie payments on n certain day,
sufficiently distant to allow ample time for tho pres
ent crop to he made available; and that those which
shall tltnrcnfter fail to pay their notes in gold or sil
ver. shall, ipso facto, he disfranchised.
The desire to make large dividends, which increa
sed competition has recently so much stimulated,
lias greatly influenced some of these institutions in
making excessive issues, and thereby contributing
in a great degree to their present embarrassments.
To restrict this motive will in iny opinion, more ef
fectually than any other measure, keep them within
the hounds of safety, hy repressing flint stock jobbing
spirit which has induced them to depart from pro
priety, ami made their stock an object of specula
tion, instead of what it was designed to be, one of
safe investment for surplus capital under the pros
pect of moderate income. This may be done by de-
ejaring that no Bank shall, on its future operations,
divide among its stock-holders more than such spe
cified per centum per annum on the amount of its
capital actually paid in, as may he deemed just and
liberal to tlrosn institutions; ami that the surplus
profits so arising in each, shall, nt the end of every
year, he paid into the Treasury of the State at the
proper credit of each Bank to make good, us occa
sion may require, any deficiency in its profits not ex
ceeding the amount necessary to afford the permit
ted dividend.
But the authority of the Legislature peremptorily
to modify or abrogate these charters, nnd thus inter
fere between chartered rights and the rights of the
people, is denied by many perilous whoso judgment
is entitled to high respect; whilst others believe, that
when privileges so momentous have been granted
on the sole motive of ndvttnciug the general good,
and this consideration, which cannot he viewed n«
constituting a contract in tho sense of tlio constitu
tion, has failed, it is not only tho right, but the duty
of the supremo authority to interpose for the public
safety, nnd, if necessary, to resume a power so po
tent lor good, or for evil, nnd which should never be
permitted to escape the control of the people. On
this subject I forbear to give any opinion. It in
volves an important principle of constitutional law.
requiring much investigation and reflection, which
other engagements have not allowed me time to be
stow. The law-making power will decide for itself.
.and if that decision he affirmative of tho right, the
judicial authority oftlie government may be invoked
for tho final determination of the question.
By the lust semi-annual report of tho •* Insurance
Bank of Colombo-*,*’ it appears that Mr. Nicholas
Biddle, of Philadelphia, is the ostensible, if not the
real, owner of nvK thousand four hundrku and
fifty shakes of the capital stock of this institution,
nnd that the remainder, amounting to only five lion*
tired and fifty shares, is owned hy eight citizens tit
Georgia.
Mr. Biddle is the President of the 11 Bank of the
United Slates,’’ which wns lately chartered hy the
State of Pennsylvania, with a capital of thirty-five,
millions of dollars. How far the other Banks of
this State may ho injuriously affected hy the transfer
of this stuck, time only, perhaps, can determine. It
is not, however in litis view alone that the transac
tion lias become important. The charter was grant
ed to the citizens of Georgia under the impression
that the Bank would ho, not only in name, lint in
fact, n State Institution, under the control of men
having like feelings and interests with ourselves;
whose private property would he within the reach of
our laws, nnd not that it would lie transferred to n
parson residing in a distant State, having neither
his person nor his property here to be “ liable lor fill
insurances or debts made or due by said Bank,” nnd
controlling a powerful institution there, whose means
enti’bo brought; through the agency of this Bank,
to hear upon our interests ami institutions. The
subject is respectfully submitted to the intelligent
ami temperate consideration of the Representatives
oftlie people.
The wisdom of the Legislature, in establishing
nnd sustaining the Central Bank, has been made
manifest, by events which have transpired during
the past year. This institution has been managed
with great ability.justice nml impartiality, and has,
during the existing difficulties, done much good in
relieving the people throughout the State from cm-
liai rossmeuts created hy the sudden fall in the price
growing out of the gen- | l * , ‘ l
places it in the condition of n mere lean office, hav
ing none of the advantages, and deriving none oftlie
profits incident to ih- other chartered banks oftlie
State. Indeed, tin* issuing of hills under this restric
tion, instead of being beneficial to the State, is a dis
advantage, because the expense of the issue is in-
cutred without the possibility of any corresponding
benefit to the Bank Being unable to discover any
good reason for this difference in the privileges
granted to the LVntrnl and other hanks. I respectful
ly recommend that nil lie placed on the same ground,
iti regard to their issues.
The net passed nt tin* Inst session of the Legislature,
“to provide for tho pi. ment ofvobintcers in tlii< state,
tided with much difficulty in itf execution.
Many claims wore presented which could not !»•* ullovv-
oil; and when tin* officers, in vviiotn was confided the
iiilniiiiiMrntion of the Inw, endeavored, in the conscien
tious disc urge of their duty to tho people, to asceitnin
the will of the Lei; is In lure by tho usual and comnion-
HctMCtnnde of construing law’s, they were condemn, d as
unfriendly to the volunteers, nnd attempt* were made to
lessen them in tho public estimation, by inie-ptatcmculs
of facts ami unjust inferences and conclusions. But,
whatever may have been the opinions of any in regard
to the correctness of the construction placed on the sta
tute, all knew ami felt that, as no interest accrued to the
officers, there, could he no motive to do wrong, am! there
fore their integrity remained uiiimpcnchcd

The principal difficulties have arisen under tho fourth
and fifth sections of the act. The fourth provide* pay
ment for article* lost “ in battle, or in tin* immediate pur
suit of the Indians, or while employed in actual •service,
which shall not extend “beyond the loss of horse- dim
equippnges, wagons and vveat ing apparel of tin- soldier.'
And the fifth section declares that the <iovernor shall
pay all accounts lor “suhsistenec, forage, nuunnnitu
clothing, tents, cunip-eqnippagc, cooking utciisils^uiedi-
ciue, hospital stores, &e.”
Under the fourth section payment wns demanded for
horses.which died ci natural death, and for clothe* which
cost higher prices than it was supposed the l.cgMuttm-
intruded to comprehend, within the inclining of the words
“wearing nppnrcl of the soldier.”
The construction placed on this section is, tlmt no
horses run be paid for unless, “lost in battle, or in tlie
immediate pursuit of the Imlinns, or while employed it
actual servicewhich service caused the death or of In r
loss of the horse ; ami that the phrase, “wearing nppnr
el of the soldier,” being clearly intended to designate n
particular qualiiv or kind of clothing, the Legislature
must Imve designed such only ns is furnished by law to
soldiers. But an no such apparel wns possessed hy the
volunteers, and ns it could not he presumed that tlie l.i
gi'lature intended, by the words they used, to compri
bond ull demands for apparel lost, including fmo cloth
coats, over-coats, gold nrenst-pius nml other expensive
articles; and, ns some of the accounts presented mummi
ed, torn single individual, to upwards of one hundred
dollars,it was deemed proper by the Comptroller to gi
notice tlmt he would pass no uccounts for clothing, hut
refer the matter to the Legislature for their action.
The same difficulty occurred in the construction of
the fifth section, in which tlio word “clothing” is usei
Ami as it could not bo supposed tlmt any distiuctii
wus intended to bo made to the prejudiee’of those vo
unteers who lost their proparty “in bnitle,or in the in
mediate pursuit of the Imliotis, or while rmploi rd
actual service,” nml in favor of those who purchased
clothing before they took up the line of nmivii fur Flor
ida. it was considered just to nil concerned to postpu
the demnrnls under both sections of the act. No other
course could, with propriety, Imve been adopted, In
cause n majority of the Judges consulted, expressc
the opinion tlmt soldier’s uml not citizen’s clothing iwi
intended by the Legislature.
In addition to the accounts for clothing contracted bv
the officers of Mnj. Cooper’s Imttnllion. other claims
were presented for various articles of luxury not autho
rized by any known ln\y or usuge. Payment
course refused. Two of these accounts still remain in
the Executive office. Besides this Imttnllion, the fol
lowing volunteers marched to Florida about the same
time :—Two companies of Infantry from Augusta, un
der command of Cuptains Bone* and Robertson—One
Imttnllion of mounted men, under command of Mujor
Dottglnss—One battalion, commanded by Major Itoss,
and mi independent company of mounted’mnimtatneers
under Captain Nelson. And, in the (’reek war, there
were about four thousand volunteer*. If any of these
purchased clothes, or luxurious articles of subsistence,
they paid for them out oj their own funds. No den.amis
have been made on the government for them. The laws
of the United States allow cnelt millitiu man in the ser
vice of the United States two dollars xml fifty cents por
month, infieuof ctothin and this amount, it is presum
ed, was paid to each volunteer when lie received his otlv-
er ^e, this art, upwards of one Fiundrf*d and seven
thousand dollars Imve been pniil from tho Treasury, an J
many accounts vet remain unpaid. A portion of this
amount lins, no doubt been drawn on fraudulent mustvr
rolls nnd accounts, ns will appear by reference to the
documents accompanying this communication. It will
ho seen hy tlie letter of Hamilton \V. Sharpe. Esqr. of
Lowndes county, tlmt a man name.I Win. T. Thompson
Ims committed a fraud and received the sum of one thou
sand five hundred nnd ninety-four 1*1-100 dollars upon
two muster rolls—one in his own name, and the other
in the name, of John 110010* for whom he acted as agent.
And, hy tlio letter of Captain Nathaniel II. Ilicks, of
Decatur county, I nm itifornxd tlmt an individual of
that county lias drawn h considerable sum more than lie
was entitled to. Many other eases of i» similar charac
ter no doubt exist, hut i t was impossible to prevent these
frauds—that section of the net authorizing payment on
i muster rolls requires no oath of tho Captain, iior certi
ficate of a superior officer, and therefore wo were hound
to pay every roll presented, on the mere certilh »te of
the person representing himself ns the commanding of
ficer.
The Comptroller, on whom wns imposed the tn«k of
auditing the accounts presented tinder this net, wns com
pelled to employ a Clerk to aid him in the discharge of
Iii* duties, lie ha* performed much lalmr during the
past year and should be remunerated for thesa extra
services.
The period fixed by the treaty with the Cherokee In
dians lor their removal to the. West is fast approaching,
nnd when it shall arrive, they must go, “peaceably if
they will, hut forcibly if we must.” John Uoss,\\ lio bus
a powerful partv, Ims always been opposed to emit:ra
tion and still induces the common Indians tolielievn that
ho can obtain such modifications of the treaty n« will
permit them to remain on tho soil of Georgia; and for
this purpose, at a Coiiik il convoked hy his imthoritv in
the month of August last, a delegation, of which lie is a
member, wusnppointed to visit Washington during the
ensuing session of Congress. We know that he can ne
ver succeed, and tlmt his conduct can lintp tin other ef
fect than to excite, in the breasts of tho ignoiuut Chero
kee*, delusive hope* which cannot be realized. Wlmt
may ho the effect oftlie disappointments to winch they
are doomed none can fully foresee,but it is the part of
wisdom to anticipate the worst and prepare to meet it.

boon awarded to this State, in full of her (junta of arms,
under tlie act of Congress of I BOD, up to tht 31st Dcccin-
b.»r,18315. They will be delivered when ekllcd for. A
copy of ibis communication will he found among the
document*.
Report* liuve been received from the Coidniis*ioners
well founded; that no individual, not acquainted with
tlm science of engineering, is competent to execute the
duties required ol the Superintcnclant, and tlmt the Chief
Engineer who shall engage in tlm work under the law,
a* it now is, will hazard too much.
Feeling greut interest in the cause of internal improve
ments, and particularly in the enterprise of connecting
the Southern Atlantic Const with the Western Stntesliy
mean* of the contemplated Rail road, I Imve devoted to
tho work now in progress, nil the time tlmt could be
snared from the discharge of tho duties in the Executive
Office. During the past Summer I have twice virited
the Engineer# on tho several routes, for the purpose of
giving such instructions an seemed proper, nnd obtaining
such information in regard to the surveys and oilier mut
ter* intimately connected with the subject, ns it was pro
per that the Chiol Magistrate, entrusted with tho execu
tion of tho Inw, should know.
This grent enterprise, the completion of which will re
dound so much to the interest mi l honor of the State,
well deserved tlio natron age of the Legislature und peo
ple of Georgia. riie examinations already made de
monstrate the fact that the work i* not only practicable,
but easy of execution, nnd nothing, therefore, is now
w anting to carry into efifict the objeets contemplated by
the Legislature, nnd to plaeo Georgia high in the esti
mation of her sister States, hut n continuation of that
public spirit mid State pride, which actuated the Repre
sentative* of the people m the I a Ft session.
I am well sntislie I from personal intercourse with the
people, uml other source* of information to be relied on.
that they approve the act, and when wc take n view of
pccssnrilv result from it, I
. who rightly comprehend*
the subject, will refuse his unseat to such measures a*
may be necessary to consummate an enterprise which,
when completed,will open tons the extensive trade of
the West and be the iiirniotof creating a commercial em
porium in the South—in Georgia, w hie It may, in time,
•vie with tho proudest cities of the North.
Let us, for m eminent, contemplate tint importance of
tho work in which we huve euguged. Very soon tlio
“Georgia Rail Road” will he finislu d,by which Alliens
and Madison will bo connected with Augusta, Charles
ton nnd Savannah; and the “Control” and “Monroe”
Rail Roads, when eoimdeted, will connect Savuimuh
with Macon nml Forsyth. The Tcnne**co River, from
the point nt which it i* proposed to terminate the “ Wes
tern and Atlantic Rui^d-oml,” is said to he a good navi-
gable stream, with the exception ol tlio “Suck”’ and
the “MimcIc Shoals.” These, it is true, present ob
structions, but they are hv lio means insuperable hairier*
and v\ ill |>e overcome when the interest of the country
shall demand tli<- employ incut ol tin* necessary menu*.
This river empties into tin* Ohio in the Stn to of Kentucky,
opposite to n rail road about to be < onstnicted from the
()uio River to Luke Michigan, the State of lliitu is. Thus
are presented to us two important purtHof a great chain
ot internal improvements requiring mj\ thecoitiiceling
link of the “ NVesteni and Atlantic Had Rond,” und its
hrancheH to Madison and Forsyth, to constitute uu un
broken lino of rail road uml steamboat eommuniention
from Savannah and Charleston to Lake Michigan ami
