fHaron srlr&raift-
tier against the iMreateneil hostilities of the In
dians, have been allowed as a correct charm'
against ,he General Government, and pai l:—
nml monies advanced on accoam of the Un ion
Stales by the Exerutive of Georgia for running
and marking the Florida line Ij tve, although
that operation was arrested by the Government
of Georgia, been promptly returned:—lots in
deed of just expectation, because manifestly
right in themselves, hut affording, at the same
time, no little gratification, because what is tua-
nife-Jy right is not always done.
Among the various violations of the consti
tution of tho Unied States, the people of the
Southern Slates have lately been made to feel
and to complain of that prominent one which
has taken from the States the general guardian
ship over the labor and industry of the pepple,
which it was supposed exclusively belonged to
them, and which, it is believed, they never
have voluntarily relinquished. It is in the ex
ercise of this guardianship that the Congress
proceed, from session to session, to tax one por
tion of the community, not interested iu a par
ticular branch of industry, to sustain another
portion interested in, and carrying on tint
branch. Disregarding the liberal principles
which Would hyve industry free to seek its own
employment, and returning to the benighted
policyjong practiced by other nations, hut now
abandoned and abandoning by all enlightened
ones, it claims an absolute dominion over it, to
fetter, to restrain, to encourage, to prohibit, to
cause it to take any or every direction—.hits
substituting, for the natural order of things, die
artificial system of the datker ages—Tho pow
er, which, in raising revenue or regulating com
merce, incidentally protects manufactures or
encourages the fabrics which are indispensable
to the national defence, is a vety different
power from that chimed by tho Federal Gov
ernment, to protect by any means, directly or
indirectly all or any of them, than which a
more distlDct substantive and important power
could not he given by any constitution to any
government. It is in vain tjmt we ask for the
grant of this m ; glify power to Congress. It is
in vain we plead the cruelty of taking from the
small profits of agriculture to increase the ltrgp
profits of manufactures. We are answered
from year to year by the amended Tariff, aug
menting the tribute and multiplying tho exact
ions. Nay more—As if the Congress lacked
vigor and animation for tho work, a combina
tion of States exclusively interested in perpetu
ating these abuses, resolve themselves into a
body unknown to the constitution, and dictate
to the government at Washington, tho kind,
end the amount of tax which the people of die
other states shall pay; so that we may soon have
to ask ourselves which is the Government of .he
United States, the Assembly of States which
passes tho edict of taxation, or the authorities
of more regular and constitutional appointment
winch receive it as law and order its registra
tion. I recommend to you tho adoption with
out delay’ of a firm remonstrance to the Con
gress against this system of usurpation, injustice
nnd oppression—You will address yourself I
right w.ll find no compensation in the promised
equivalent, as principle has never yet found its
value in the weight or measuro of the preckius
metals. k ■ „
1 iuvito your attention again to the subject of
Internal Improvement, aud to the dangers in
separable from a longer postponement of a Ju
dicious System adjpted -to the wants and re
sources of the State. It is mortifying to our
pride and it will prove ruinous to our interest,
that every state in the Union and every st.i’O
in Europe, advancing in the course ot improve*
men., opening communications between the
most distant parts of its territory, cheapening
its transportation, augmenting its trade aiid
commerce, and cementing tho union of its peo
ple, give signs of increasing illumination, whilst
Georgia with some claims to intelligence and
public, spirit has not yet executed a solitary
work or raised a single monument in illustra
tion of her devotion to the agricultural and com
mercial prosperity of her people. We must
soon withdraw from the rivalry jif trade, or
share it ou tho most unequal terms. No fer
tility of soil, no geneality, of climate can com
pensate to Georgia a'difference of freight ol
five to one against her, in competition with her
neighbor states. Her industry will be paralized,
and her capital exhausted., Already the wheat
grower of the western par.s of New York,
from which formerly a bushel of wheat was not
exported, supplants the wheat grower of Geor
gia in his-own market. And ere long the cot-
ion market, reduced to the lowest price at which
the article can be raised, Georgia with such
fearful odds against her, will be forced to aban
don the cultivation. In this, as in all articles
of bulky or weighty carriage, the cotton states
will undersell her in the same proportion which
their facilities of transportation bear to her diffi
culties, and when reduced to the ultimate point
of stagnation and depression, she may awake
from hor repose with rogrets and lamentations,
but without the means or the resources to rem-
ody the evil—You are not invited to premature
or unprofitable efforts. You are asked to keep
pace with your sisters in the improvements
which correspond to the actual state of the trado,
wealth and population of tho country, and if no
thing more, at least to make the high roads
the avenues of a cheap and exped.tious trans
portation at all times; and the uavigable streams
likewise in the degree and to the extent of
which they arb susceptible.
The report of the Chief Engineer, who has
continued in the public service lit my particu
lar request, will shew what with very limited
means, lias been done or attemp ed, during the
ast seasop, and what it may be useful or pro
fitable to do hereafter. It is not to be expect
ed that’tb.s or any otlior competent officer will
levote himself to the service of the' State, for
compensation scarcely sufficient for the main-
tainanco of his faindv, when‘the same qualifica
tions in other states fin ! .a double or triple al
lowance. It would bo wiser to abolish the of
fice.
I again solicit your consideration of the ex
power, for certain purposes, ovei the purso and
the sword, and now claiming and exercising tho
^jpower to direct the national industry and na
tional improvement without limitation—in short
tho absolute masters of the fortunes of twelvo
millions of people. Bui you can yet speak in
the language of truth, if not in the spirit of
Froenicn. Your complaints may be unheeded.
If they should he, 1 recommend to address
yourselves to the States having common in
terest with yourselves, and to suggest the ox-,
podiency Of concurring in a non-consu nption
agreement to be carrred into effect by all the
means which are constitutionally given to their
respective Legislatures. It is painful to con
template the consequences which must follow.
That government whoso parental duty it is to
make us all frieuds nnd to keep us so, is strain
jug its faculties to fasten upon tho country a
system which cannot fail to sot one part ol it
in .hostile array against tho oilier.' In self-de
fence, wo are first driven to a non-intercourse,
and, as a necessary consequence of that, to tho
cultivation of more friendly relations with for
eignerSj.who, supplyingour indispensable wans,
at least m) long as the general government suf
fers them to be supplied, take the place of our
own countrymen in our feelings and affoctions,
leaving nothing for them, but bi tcrucss and
heart-burnings—Wo are not utiwdlmg to give
to our own countrymen the same profits we
give to foreigners provided they are f.tiily and
constitution ally earned. It is the forced com
sumption of an article, uncoustitionolly enbane
ed in price, which like the forced consumption
of the tea, wo resist. All things being equal
we are not unwilling to consume tho fabrics of
our own country, and so far to encourage tho
fabricators, but wo protest against tho artificial
. encouragement given at our expense, when we
are made to pay, not only the tax for that en
couragement, but to lose the trade in our staple
which affords the only means of paying it. It
is-not to bo expected that foreign nations will
long continue to receive our raw material if wc
refuse to receive their manufactures, and wo
ate not used to that despotism which would
constrain us whothcr for or against our interest
to manufacture for ourselves against our iuclin-
. ation.
Conscientiously believing that the govorn'
nxuit of the United States is not conducted tie
cording to the principles of the constitution—
that (lowers are claimed aiid exercised by it in
dciogution of those principles, and that in prac
tice it is virtually a consolidated government,
and therefore essentially different from that
formed ami designed to be formed by the con
vention of’87, I would recommend to you, at
the same time, to address a respectful aud af
fectionate memorial to your sister States, re
questing them to unite with with you in ull con
stitutional and legitimate 'measures to bring
back the Government to the pure principles of
Mr. Jefferson's administration, which are the
true principles of the constitution. It is asub-
ject of sincere congratulation that, notwithstand.
iug your temptations have not been less than
others, yon remain uncorrupted by tho nssttiu
ed powers of the Goneral Government over
the Internal Improvement of the country.—
pediencv of organizing a Court of Errors. I ft lie
Ouusitiution should present-ilia only obstacle,-
the Constitution should bo amended. That
instrument must indeed be very defective which
has not only omitted to guarantee uniformity
in the administration of Justice, but opposes
obstacles to it. It is not necessary to this or.
ganization of such a-Court, that great expense
should follow to the Siam, or gre.it expense.and
great delay to tho parties. It is the argument
in the Court above, which is superfluous, nnd
which it is the duty of the judges to supply,
which produces both expense iind delay. The
‘edges .want nothing but the record certiGed
from the Court below,-nnd, it is not foreseen
that all unnecessary delay of the final decision
may not be effectually prevented. Under ev
ery government, justice should be administered
niroly, cheaply, promptly, and uniformly—It
s tho union of these cloraotits which constitutes
tho perfection of every Judicial Systom—the
delays and expenses which are not absolutely
necessary to tho attainment of its ends are to
bo ranked among the greatest evils of society,
and are under a free government altogether
insufferable. You are invited to this amend
ment of your own system, therefore, with': a
confident expectation that without extraordina
ry expense, or extraordinary del ty, you cun
causo justico to bo administered to the people
with purity and uniformity. .
The Report of tho Prihcipal Keeper of the
Pcniten’iary will make known to yon tho ac
tual state of that Institution. It proceds under
many disadvantages (a defective building and a
defectiva system) to answer tho objects of Its
establishment anil justify the expectations of
its founders. Without knowing that the temp
tations to tho commission of crime are less, it
is certain that the tiumber of penitentiary offen
ces, so far from increasing with the increase
of population, has diminished. Other causes
may have contributed to this result, but tho
more obvious and immediafo ones, must be
found in the operation'of the code itself—You
are encouraged, therefore, to perseverance in
a system finiporfect as it is) which awarding to
crime its merited punishment, deters from the
contm'ssion of it—Nor, in the estimate of be
nefits nro you to overlook that judicious ma
nagement which promises to in ike the indus
try of tho institution available fur its support;
and so far relieve tho State "from tho oxpouso
incident to tho administration of its criminal
justico. Tho officer who is at the head of it
deserves well for tho fidelity nnd intelligence
with which lie superintends its interests, and it
is submitted whother in offices of this descrip
tion where the qualifications for thorn depend
so much on a knowledge of their details, fre-
S tent changes do not operate injuriously to
o public. ^
Tho Report of Judgo Schley, will disclose
tho glaring defects ana inconsistencies of the
Codo, which a short expericnco had enabled
him to detect, together with tho obvious and
necossary remedies which you cannot fad to
apply.
Tho Finances of the State requiro your at
tention. It is important, in relation to them,
there should be system—that it should be sim
plified Rnd intelligible, and that in the admin
istration of it, you should, neither bn deceived
Qih« States which have surrendered this birth j ourselves or ire the instrument ef deceiving
others. If it is asked on what resources the
government relics for its annual support, it will
he difficult >o find an answer. A general tax
law is annually passed, nnd if purports to be mi
net to raise a tax for the support of government;
but according to your practice—for there is no
system—the whole amount raised and applica
ble to the support of government is not suffi
cient for that object by one thinly If it is ask
ed upon what other resource than taxation the
government relies, the only answer that can be
given is—upou any monies which are, or may
bu in the‘Treasury—If the government does
not rely on taxation for its support, it ought to
be distinctly known upon wbat other resource,
either perm moot or temporary it does roly.—
If it relies on taxation, then the income should
be made equal to the expenditure, or the ex
penditure reduced to the level-of tho income.
Ought the government to rely for its ordinary
support on precarious and uncertain sources of
revenue, or is it it the policy of the govern
ment to depend on the funds in the Treasury
until those funds are exhausted, using its incotno
and making encroachments upon its capital in
discriminately for that purpose, and leaving e-
vcntuully nothing for extraordinary emergen
cies, for public education, for internal improve
ment aud other subjects of national concern?
It is a rulo of political economy, and a good
one, not to take more money from the people
than is required for the ordinary and current
wants of government. Whilst in practice you
do not take more, you return one half of what
yon do take, and depend on other resources to
supply the deficiency. It would be wise to
consider of this matter in time, and to adopt a
rational and coherent system, which w.ll take
the place of irregularity and disorder.
The funds of the State, including bank stock,
evidences of debt and monies, iu tho Treasury
at the end of the political year amount to near
two millions of dollars—The average annual
ordinary expenses of government for the politi
cal years 1824—5, and 26, amount to one hun
dred and eight thousand dollars, and the aver
age annual revonue from taxation for the same
years, to seventy thousuud dollars.
Our Literary institutions continue to multi
ply ami flourish. The University more tliau
ever endears itself to tho country by the num
ber of its youths, their proficiency, the noble
emulation which animates them, the moral and
religious seutiment which, superseding the harsh
er discipline,- maintains order an t subordina
tion, mid the high attainments in Composition
and Elocution which, at tho annual commence
ment, remarkably distinguished, them.
Tho Academies improve m'the mean's of
usefulness as thyy increase in number, organiz
ing the best systems-and adopting the most ap
proved modes of instruction—md the Free
Schnols~give bet.er proin so of fulfilling the
ends of their institution, as the funds for .their
support, are beuer guarded and economized.—
So that educaiiou may he said to flourish and

trad-in close alliance with ii, giving io it us full
est effect, their fruits are Seen lutin' improve-

and polished.
The faults of the Militia"System have been
frequently presented to you—The revision and
amendment witch ought toh.ive followed,'may
be uotv postponed, wiih the hope .mil expecta
tion that .Congress, fulfilling its duties in this
respect, will review their own system and adopt
an organ.zition calculated to give stability ami
efficiency to this arm of national defence.\In
tho mean time every encouragement has been
given to Ihe formation of vqlun.eer corps, who,
animated by a love of country, and trained un
der a good discipline, h ave .stood ready to an

Tlid Congress of the United States having
been invested with the qualified power “to pro-
moto the progress of sctQnco and useful arts,
by securingito authors and inventors tho exclu
sive right to their respective writings and dis
coveries," the power over every other descrip
tion of industry, nut inconsistent with this, is of
course reserved to tho States, or to tho people
—That of agriculture, the parent of all the rest
is peculiarly entitled to the cncour igemeni ant
protection which is noi inconsistent with its
general freedom. Tho introduction of a new

ment, as well from its general utility, ns from

An abstract jtf warrants drawn upon the

Retiring from office, after four years’ admin
istration of tho public'affairs, it would httvo
given nto pleasure to congratulate you on the
safety of the Republic, tho flourishing condi
tion of the country, and above all the union
and. happiness of the people.—Thdt the’Re
public is yet safe, and the country is still pros
perous, we are indebted more to Divine' Pro
vidence, than to our own merits. That the
strifes and contentions of party have scarcely
ceased to d istract the public mind, to embit
ter social intercourse and impair the energies
of society, we owe to the weakness and per
verseness of human nature. The boisterous
passions, the offspring of political dissentions,
and in the conflicts of which reason is suspend
ed, are not to be allayed on the instant, but by
Him who can stay tho tempest and bid the
waves be still.—No matter what the perils—no
matter what the calamities which besot the
country, experience has proven that in all coun
tries these disastrous passions seek only a sel
fish gratification, regardless of the public inter
est. In our own, they have had their feroci
ous march, and their guilty triumphs. Formi
dable at the beginning, and festered by events,
they harassed the progress of this administra
tion under its greatest dials, and embarrassed
its councils at every step. It is well that little
could be claimed from abilities so moderate
under circumstances so adverse. Wo may be
content and thankful, that if nothing has been
won, every thing has not been lost—that the
exasperations of the struggle are subsiding, and
that in the prospect before us, there is nothing
to discourage or dismay. You have therefore,
fellow-citizens, every motive as men, and- eve
ry obligation ns Christians', to banish discord
and to cultivate peace—to discard thq passions
which become children more than men—to se
parate yourselves jrom names, the best of which
are comparatively worthless, and attach your
selves to principles, which are unchangeable,
and which cannot fail you in your utmost need.
In fine, to think and act ns brethren of the same
family, allied by a common interest nnd a com
mon destiny, of which the universal Parent
will be the Guardian and Protector.^ It is the
hest, as it is the'last advice l ean give von;
and, returning to privatei life, I invoke the
blessing of God upon our country, »nd bid
you farewell. G. M. TROUP.

MU. FOPSVTH’S ADDRESS.
Fellow-Citiscns—The distinguished honor.conferred
upon me by the neopte, fills me with gratitude and
apprehension—gratitude for their kindness—and ap
prehension lest their expectation may be'disanpointed
—To the office for which Ihnve been sete ted. I bring
no experience, end lint on imperfect knowledge of its
dnties. All l can -safely promise is. good intentions.
To satisfy public anticipations, if favorible, usually too
sanguine, is always n difficult task, tinder present cir
cumstances it ispecitUarlv-so. Independent of other
consideration too weel known to require enumeration,
there is ope. the existence of which however unfavor,
able, may be Its effects to mv.self, it would be criminal
to regret. The judgement formed of every ndmiois-
tration is tho result of a comparison with that which
immediately prereeded it.—Difficult indeed is the
path hefore me, when the public mind is oeunied, and
and" will long continue to be so. by the recollection of
the zeal, the fidelity, and the success with which the
Government has been administered bymy respected
and fortunate predecesor. Trusting however to that
indulgence heretofore shewn to my public life. I shall
seek to merit the approbation of the people, perfectly
confident that it will notl>e withheld, should It he de
served. Without attemhtingor even d-sirineto evade
or to divide the responsibility of mv place, I may re
mind the Senators and Representatives of the people,
that upon them rests, under the Constitution.-the great
burthen of public responsibility. Without their aid
the Chief Magistrate is almost powerless.—If is for ydtt,
gentleman. <o assert to vindicate the honor, to exercise
the sovereign rights of the stnte.—In this great work I
shall co-operate with an earnestness proportioned fo
the magnitude of the interest committed to onr care,
and springing from a dtfep senee of obligation to the
people, forreiterated proofs of a confidence which has
ever outrun my ability but never transcended my de
sire to do them service. ; ■ » .
