I* As no narrative of the procedings If a late extraordinary fefiion of the *egiflarure, has been fubmined to ou in detail ; as the object of these goceedings has excited much enquiry -—and as it is ncceflary that yon, as veil as your fellow-citizens of this hire, and of the United States, lhould >e correßlv informed on a fuhieft ern racing many important intereits ; r Incomes rae to make you acquainted l r h?i the progress and conclusion of a | cafure, certainly of die firfb magni lide to this country ; 1 fay of the firft Magnitude. The wild, profligate and Iftrußive spirit which was abroad, de bralizirg the habits of the people and Irrupting the sources from whence it, order and beneficial polity were to hw, has been at laid deft roved, toge lerwith the fp-cnfitors who directed irr all the pride- of their aristocracy, .th all their hopes of aggrandizement Id their fchems of pub’k plunder. liey laid their rapacious hands upon I* booty, but were furpnfed before hy divided it: In truth they neither we nor never have had pofleflion, nor r rights of pofTelTion, nor the rights of nperty in the territory, ami I hope & ft they will never 1k are even the en rment of it in common with us all. Ld they Exceeded in their projeefs •property and power ; a country e taal in extent, superior in fertility, yanmge# of climate and means of commerce, to many of the Rates ami; kingdoms of Europe, wotiid have* been apportioned among a few, a rr-| ry Jew, who would have called up the fririt of feudaiifn from its burial place in the old world to make the rich, the Lords paramout. and the poor, the de generate vafTals of the foil : such are the consequences, pregnant with evil incalculable which have been avoided : the forefiglit, the patriorifm and v Everance of rood men who have * ° , never eeafed to defend the public liber-. ty agaiuil the inroads of its enemies. 1 lie articles of agreement and refii |on entered into with the United States |are founded on tie ftridieft principles of reciprocity. It is ‘a fair contract concluded in f iirh between io o vereign and indep . ndent parties, un iinfluenced bv any other motives and w -J directed to no oihei end but che ad vantage of both. I'or twelve hundred and fifty thousand dollars payable in all reafoitable calculation in five years the Irate of Georgia cedes to the United stares, the territory comprehended within eke boundaries of the United | states, south of the Rate of Tt-nneflee. j weft of a line beginning on the Cha.ta ihocliie River, where it croflls the !boundary between Spain *and the IJ i J 1 biited States, and running up the fame .River to the Creek called Uchce, from j thence in a diredl courle to Nickajack ion the renneifee River, and i uimino; lup the Western bank oi it to the {bn them boundary line of the Rate of d'envefhe. The ifate retain- Sirur and reiervino* to hcrlelf all o o Che lan dsficu at e and bet we e n lh c ea ft ‘r n Ibotindarv of the ceded lands and the temporary bfediidary line of the ilate 1 of Georgia ; and the United States j un dcr t a king to extinguish, as ipeed ily | uspoilible, the Indian claims to the j lauds retained. In all probability this! extinguilhment of claims will not be e fleffed, but for a con sider able linn, which added to 1,250,000 Dolls, will make an aggregate consideration paid by the United States for the fame ter ritory, which a corrupt legislature j would have fact ificed to Yazoo /pecula tors for little more than one third of the money. The Legislature with'an almost unex ampled unanimity ratified the articles of agreement and ceifion, and as there is noreafon to believe an extraordi nary convention of Congrels will be called within the time limited by the commillioners, they may be confider ed as binding and obligatory on the parties forever. In confidence of chi? a treaty lias been held and concluded with the nation of Creek Indians, and extinguishment of claims 10 part of Tala flee County; 6z of the lanes 1 vino -> t> between t!ie Oconee and Oakrnulo-ee rivers eftecTcd.* A land office will be o pened at the ensuing session of the le glike tore, and an equal divihon of thele lands among the citizens Gs the flatct will be attempted. So far as the wilhes and expectations )of the members of the laR general af j iembly could be collected from obfer | vat ion, I am happy to fay they were j anxious for an equitable and just ap portionment of the territory among honest citizens,detenninedon an exclu* iioa cf inoiiopolifts, and well disposed to listen to the claim of the soldier who had not parted with the evidence of Ills title. Altho’ but a fmail portion of the territory reserved is obtained, by the late treaty, from the spirit and zeal evinced by the commifhoners and the accommodating dilpofuion difeo vered bv the lndians themselves, there exists no doubt but the kidkm title will be gradually extinguifived and the stipulations on the pai t of the general government faithfully fulfilled. Such Fellow Citizens are the allure ments to increafmg emigration held ou:| by the government, by the extended; limbs and productive powers of the Country and above all by the facility; of commerce. That this opportunity! of bettering their condition will be! readily embraced by our countrymen! of the elder States ; that the current offi population and ‘veahh will be with us; for a long time ; and that the power and refpectabiiity of Georgia will be propor tionablv augmented ; seems now to be J* o 7 ■established in the nature things.

Mhe following are a few of the facts concerning the late administration which remain eftabliflied to this hour. 1. The lust administration laboured to involve the nation in a war, contra ry to its true interests, honor, pros perity and policy. 2 • They were hoftfie in theory and practice to the principles of republi can government. j. 1 hey violated the laws in various in Ranees, e. 7. 1.
