The following preamble and resolutions, pro-
posiim such tin liberation of ,he constitution of
iio Uui.cd States, as to prevent the election
of Presiden:, devolving on ho house of Re
presentatives, tve.e introduced by Mr. Burn
side, and two handled copies ordered to be
printed:
Whereas in every government truly repub
lican, it is highly important that tire affections
of the people should be secured to the Consv-
tution ana the laws, by giving to them the
right of bestowiug : 11 offices, and especially
those tvh.cb place great power and patronage
in the hands of those who fill .hem, on men in
whose virtue and intelligence they caii place
the • 'ost unbounded confidence. And where
as, tVom the past history of our government it
is to be feared, that under the provisions at pre
sent embraced in the federal constitution, the
office of President of the United Stales—one
giving to the incumbent a power which may
be effectually used for toe best or for the worst
of purposes—may somc.imes he bestowed up
on a man whom the suffrages of the people
would not elevate to that high office, and whose
only hope of a continuance therein will he de
rived ftom an artful use of the patronage of the
government, a dangerous instrument m die hands
ot an ambitious man, And whereas, those e-
vils that we have already partially felt, and
which \vc have reason to fear wdl be much
more senoi sly felt in future, can only he reme
died by .in alteration of the federal consiitu-
tion—And although all the efforts that have
been liore.ofoie made to effect that alteration
have faded; yet it is believed, that the good
sense and patriotism of the great mass of the
nui.on will ensure success to an amendment of
lint instrument, winch will give to it so much
firmer an interest iu die hearts of the people.
Be it therefore resolved by toe sen te and
past year lias presented to my attention the
means whereby increased utility may be com
bined with diminished disbursements.—Your
honorable body well know the scarcity of mo
ney and the difficulty of collecting debts—
Would it not be better for the Principal Keep
er to be the contractor, and barter any article
manufactured in this Institution for provisions
to feed the guard and convicts on 1 Should this
meet your approbation, you will please act on it
as early as your convenience will admit of, that
the Principal Keeper may have it in his power
to lay in a sufficient supply of provisions for the
guard and convicts, against the time the pre
sent contractors’ time expires.
There has been an extra Clerk appointed
to this Institution, hy the Inspectors, at a sa
lary of four hundred dollars annually.—This
appointment, I think, au unnecessary expendi
ture of public money. One Clerk is able to
attend to all the duties of the Institution, which
have been assigned iiim. This institution ex
periences manifest inconvenience, arising from
the numerous visitants to the Prison, merely
for the gratification of idle curiosity, occasion
ing bustle, waste of time, and distracting the
attention of keepers and convicts. This
might be remedied by your honorable body to
the great interest of the Institution.
This Institution sustains every year a very
heavy loss in consequence of pardoning out the
convicts ; and frequently is the cause of some
oue of the most important branches of busi
ness carried on in the Institution, to be entire
ly stopped for want of competent workmen to
carry them on. The Principal keeper would,
at all limes, be able to keep up the different
branches of business carried on in the Institu
tion, should he be apprised six months before
hand, tlut tiny individual prisoner would be
discharged.
I have commenced the Spinning and Wea
ving business tn this Institution, and flatter my
self from the progress I have made, to be able
to clothe the convicts the ensuing year. Whe-
hor :h s business will ever be a source of rev
enue to the Institution, remains for time and
experience to deride; hut my impressions are,
is important that this Institution should clothe
own people.-
The Institution labors under considerable
acumen.cnce, fiom families residing within
he wells of the budding. All of them have
crvrnis and it is almost impossible to prevent
ntorcoursc between their servants and the
cuiv.cts.
The Rev. Robert Flournoy, as an oppor
tunity allowed, has offered to our convicts the
blessings ol' religious instruction, for which sei-
vices, I do hope the Legislative authorities of
the State will give h.m their thanks.
I cannot close my Report, without stating to
your honorable body, that the Assistant Keep-
eis, Mr. Foard, &i.. Bulger, Mr. Berryhill,
and Mr. Humphrey, have faithfully discharg
ed their dutv during the past vear.

Of the keeper of the Penitentiary to the Gen

Session in 1826.
To the honorable President of the Senate,
And Speaker of the House of Representa

The Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary,
takes pleasure in stating to your honorable bo
dy, that during the past year ending the 31st
October, 1826, tho Institution over which he
presides has been able to defray all its expen
ses and have a surplus fund in its favor of nine
teen hundred arid eighty nine dollars seventy-
nine and a half cents.
This is the first year that this Institution has
been able to defray its heavy expenditure:
But from the largo stock of materials on hand
with economy nnd judicious management, there
is no doubt but this institution can and will pay
its cxi>cnses, and be a source of revenue lo the
state annually. I further have it n my power to
state, this is the first year but what some of the
convicts have escaped from this Prison—This
year we have not lost a ntan.
I view this institution to be in a progressive
situation, which will be more fully shewn by
the amount of money due the Institution, for
tho last four years, ending 31st of October.

It is important that notice of sentence, to

Milledgeville, Wednesday, Nov, 29.
Nearly the wliolo of Monday, in die house
of representatives, was occupied on the bill to
compensate Petit Jurors. This bill concern-
plates taking fiom the treasury, according lo a
calculation made by those who have brought it
iuio existence, seventeen thousand nine bun
dred and forty-eight dollars, annually, to be
apportioned among ’.he several counties for the
payment of dial class of citizens at one dollar
per day. How correct this calcution is may
ho estimated from the fact, that to Chatham
county is appropriated something over six bun
dled doll-is—;hat sum being under half what
would bo requ red, supposing the bill to be a
law. A section is added, however, by which
if the sain on die face of the bill is not suffi
cient, the requisueainount is to be drawn out of
the county funds, o bo repaid from the treasu
ry. Tho arguments used in support of the
bill were, that Petit Jurors were poor and
compelled to attend courts at a sacrifice of
their interests and at a distance from their
houses: that they ought to be paid as well as
judges, solicitors, members of the legislature,
&*.; and it was argued against it, that if petit
jurors were paid, those citizens who performed
road and patrol duty, as well as grand and in
quest juries, should be paid; that the available
funds in the treasury were not sufficient to
meet tho current expenses of the government;
that it is a duty which will be performed cheer
fully by the citizens, in rotation,* in preference
of taxing one part to pay another; that it is a
measure, which, if necessary at all, should le
left to tho different counties, &c. A motion
was made to amend the bill by striking out the
first section, and inserting in its place a provi
sion giving to each juror seventy-five cents per
day, leaving the payment to be made out of the
county funds, under the superintendence of the
justices of the inferior court, nnd authorising a
tax in each county, where the funds were in
sufficient—this motion was negatived—yeas 36,
nays 64. The blank in the bill, making the
general appropriation was then filled with sev
enteen thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight
dollars—yeas 55, nays 46. A motion to make
the appropriation for Burke, five hundred and
seventy-fivo dollars was negatived 46 to 54.—
The samo for the county of Chatham, one
thousand five hundred and eighty-four dollars,
negatived 46 to 55. Both these motions were
moved to bo reconsidered next morning, nnd
both negatived. The county of Chatham pays
into the treasury, four times tho amount of any
other county in the slate, except Richmond,
and of the sixty-five counties which comprise
the state forty-one do not now pay a sufficient
amount into tho treasury to defray tho attend
ance of their members of tho legislature so
that it will easily bo seen, upon whom the bur
den of this furthor distribution of tho general
funds will fall.—Savannah Georgian,
sion to amend and consolidate the several acts
passed in relation to the powers and privilege
of the corporation of the city of Savannah.-.
The present bill relates to the cultivation of
rice within the extended limits (one mile) of
the city, power over which was given to the
corporation with certain restrictions by the act
of the last year, and has been introduced from
the committee to whom was referred the peti
tion of Mr. Stilos. It provides that the culti
vation of rice within one mile of the corpora-
ted limits of the city of Savannah, shall be
prohibited forever, but that any individual ag.
grieved may within six months from the passage
of tho act, notify the judges of tho inferior
court, who shall appoint appraisers of the said
land. These appraisers arc to value it under
oath, according to its intrinsic value as tie ir land
without reference to its proximity to tho City,
and are also to estimate the value of the land
for other cultivation than rice, and if the val
uation of the land for the culture of rice be
greater than for other cultivation, they arc to
state the difference, which is to be awarded to
the complainant by tho judges, the nward to bo
communicated by them through the Governor
to tho next General Assembly, by whom it is
to be finally appropriated to the party agriev-

tually arrived at Napoli di Romania, on the

The Captain Pacha suffered considerably in
his'attempt against Samos, and was obliged to
retire with part of his fleet to Boudrum and part
to Smyrna. > qp.
The following is an extract of a private let
ter, dated Smyrna, September 17th, and giv«s
a satisfactory account of this expedition. Wc
translate it from the Paris Constitutioncl of
Oct. 14.
The second expedition of the Captain Pa
cha againsi Samos has completely failed; and
.t will be a long time before another attempt
will be made against that island. The inhabi
tants, who were well prepared to receive tho
enemy, having sent their families, herds nnd
moveables into the mountains, firmly awaited
the Turks, who lnd collected 9000 men on
the point of Cape Mycale, where they embark
ed on the 7th inst.
The Captain Pacha, who had embarked
4000 more in the port of Phocis, in order to
prevent desertion, gave command to prepare
lor action. It was very evident from his ma
noeuvres, he had European officers on board.
They were conducted in u manner intended to
deceive the Samiots: but, in the midst of them,
the Greek squadron was discovered at the en
trance of the channel, in order of buttle. The
Turkish fleet immediately attempted to cover
their convoy; and moved on in good order, as
If more disposed to await than to commence an
attack.—The sea was covered with ships.
Just at this time-ran impetuous wind sprung
up, and it was soon evident .from the Turkish
movements, that there was disorder in their
fleet. Ere long seven of their transport ship*
were driven ashore on the Asiatic coast; and
all the transports steered for tho land in spite of
the signals made by the Captain Pacha.—Tim
troops from Asia, on board, became sea-sick,
and beat the Austrians who commanded the
seven transports above mentioned, until they
forced them to run ashore. This is great ctf
couragement to foreign masters of vessels to
serve against tho Greeks! The troops dis
banded utemsclvos as soon os'they touched tht
ground, nnd scattered for the mountains: swear
ing by Allah and Mahomet that they would
never be caught ut sea again.
Seventy Turks who had been landed on th«
island they had intended to devastate with fitf
and sword, were all put to death by tho Sarni-j
ots.
We find that there have been two engage
ments at Samos, ns hcrctoforo roportcd v inoiia4|
which tho Turks lost a sloop of war and sevcrJ j
transports. According to tho account brougW
by some vessels under convoy, tho Grew
squadron of70 vossels including five firc-shipM
was watching the enemy from Cnrnboun, tR
Turks having put into Mitilcno and Fockest ! |
repair.
