COMMUNICATION
Os his Excellency Governor Miliebge, to both
branches of the Legislature of this state.
-Fcilm Citizens of the Senate, and
of the Houje of Repreftntalives,
THE ohj dl of your being now afiernbled a.
the feat of government, was expreiled in the procla
mation issued by me for the purpose of convening you.
“i he Hate hae, fer the fir If time under the na
tional government, acquired an accetiion of jurifdic--;
tional territory, the treaty of Fort Wilkirrfon, con
j eluded the ifiih June, 1802, having been unanimously
I ratified by the Senate of the United States, and ac
cepied ratified and confirmed by the President, un
der the seal of the General Government, oii the 11th
of January la ft.
The pack:t No. 1, contains a copy of the ir.ftru
inent so confirmed, which points out the limits of the
territory ceded. •
T.fC treaty making department of ti e nation make*
no difference, in the confirmation of treaties, whe>her
they be with a civilized and enlightened people, or
the rude fava&e of the wi'derncls—they pate through
the refpt&lve branches of that department, and un
dergo all the other treaties, The firft treatv
held under the general government with the Creek
Indians was that of New.York, where the treaty. 1
making power adopted the precedent ref peeking tiir
of Indian treaties. That treaty is wcV
known to us all—it dismembered the itare of that
part of her domain called Talaffe county, and rsob
until the treaty of Fort VVilkitifbn, under a change
of national administration, did we get restored to us a
,final 1 portion of that county, of which we have been
deprived But we need not doubt that there ex ills fi.
disposition on the part of the general govnnment to
heal by every means in its power, the wound made
on the jurif iidH on of State right.
On the fubjedt of the land ceded, I conceive it
mv duty so lav before yon mv ideas, trusting that ’•
rhev will he allowed to ipring (rummotives pure and
difintereflrd
l have long rvfiscfed on the conduft which oug’u
to be purified in this iiuttefting birfineL, and if try
femwnents ffiould meer your approbation, I flatter
mvfrif our union, on this occasion, will gain r! t con
fidence and aliens of every •difintereUed good citizen
ol the state. Let me earned!v requelt then, that
while you are adopting a mode tor locasing the land,
[you will fericufly and attentively refLtft on the ad
vantages that will result to the state, bv requirino
fettlements and ptxfltfitou before gran's eitab
iifii unqiilified rights in the grantees ; for if vou do
not guard ak-tin* avenues to private intereU, you wii;
find to >our sorrow and the ntor incation of the (late
titat nearly the whole of that fine country w.iil c?t tt j
in tlie hands of a few companies, and be parcel] J
out and fold in all parts of the world—dm men Sc
fortunes made by individuals—and the (late rtfied oS
its brightest profpeds. *
It is in vain (or us to hone for an increase o<
population, an ebj.-ctfo definable for our country, ii
grants are allowed without the actual fetrlement and
•mprovejnent of the lands granted. If head-rights
fiiould be permitted to be taken out in manner
they now are, it will be seen in a short time, that
every man in the country, whole habits, mode of life,
uuf want of indoftrv forbids his fettling in a wilder
ntfs, will fell to whoever will buy and oe at the ex
.rt nee required to obtain a grant. Review the pine
• and fp cuLtion. Here was a quantity of vacant
!?nd, and fume of a quality fit for cultivation, that
. lumbers might have fe;tled with comfort and advan
a ge to tbemfelves ar.d benefit toTocicty, Yet mil
•nnsr.l acres ha’ e been owned and fold by a few with
•ut tire acquifitiar: or addition of aov Tetrlers The
l r ?no had consequence of the state depends on po
nulation, no matter from tv Ira-, canfe produced.& an\
•neafarc which may fefter monopolies of land, mufi

Georgia may he the m-dl fl-rur*filing and imprr
cpt'Hte in the Union—view irs geography and adt ;
o it but population, and her advantages are inealeu
able—therefore smother in the bad, all hopes enter
sued by individuals of accumulating in the wefferrr
•nrts of this bate a large landed imerel! Let u-
Ntjre tjieindi ft inus poor from the grasping fcmd o.
-e rich speculator, who mav at a fuVut** pofiei- J
and reiaii this land, at an cxburbitaut profit j or, on*
humiliating and degrading conditions. uj* againit
(he genius of our government to have large lard
holders, and if events and enreiefsnefs have heretofore
brought us into this (late of things, it is time they
•hould be •becked ; tor it is unnatural to ehable a
ew to get rich at the expence of many who ma>
md do want.
It mav a!fo he prudent trefefve Irom thiscellion
‘btre of the bell sites and pla<ei for towns or publir
inlliturions, as the inconvenience of getting such spots,
after they fall into the hands of individuals, is con
ii lerible, avd the expence great therefore reserves
>f tlat kind on vacant land, ought always to he made,
i have fald thus much to draw your attention to (he
importance of the fuhjeft, confident that the relult cf
vour deliberations will be for the public good.
The place ofdcpol:t,at New-Orleans, on the Mill)-

panifli treaty, hos been shut up bv the intendant of
that port ; by winch unjult ohiiruAion the commerce

will |lacrusin a fuuation to know tlie cause of this
unjuhVSahle acR-.
It mull Itrike ever'’ difpafiionate tran,tliatit was

he obtained, we may he compelled io resort to
arms to do eurfelves jnlltce ; and Ilmuld this necdfiry
■rear, I .m confident Gserrida will -be fount! as for

is either of her Siller Hates.
The Pre fid cut. as you will perceive by the packet
so 2. in .compliance v. iih. a resolution of the Hntifc
• t Heprefentatives of the United Sta-es, has called
upon this as well tin* other jla'a's and urged the im
portance a.;(] imHlpenfeble necetTity of vigorous txer
(ions on the part of the Hare government', to -carry
nt o i fFeff the militia fvHeni, adopted by toe national
legidirnre, agreeably to the powers reserved to ihe
Hates rr'fp. fHvely. l>v the conlHtution-of the United
tates. Under the circutnllances mentioned i beg
: eave io recommend to the leg'/fetore to adopt im
>nedia? and efficient measures for arming the militia,
n<! for providing a fuSicient quantity ot ammunition.
Permit me nifo. to recommend u revifi:m of our mili
ia laws, that if from the experience we have hard, of
their operation, any defends have been difccyered. they’
may be amended—and moreover, let me recommend to.
?ach or you, in your individual flat ions, to inculcate
a military spirit and ardor among our feiiow citi
z ns, vo aid and adifi discipline within your refpeclive
counties, that we may prepared, if required, for
active war; always recollecting that well artned 1
and difcijilined-miliria, fupejeedes the neceflit-y of a’
landing army, that infirnment which has proved so
deftrucifive to the liberties of mankind in every quar-’
•er of the world.
It affords me pleasure to be enabled to t ran fin it
u>r your cofideratfion, the excellent obfervationfi of
our Adjutant General, Colonel Fauche, on tlie militia
fv'fiem, which you will aifo find in packet No. 2.
By the a & pa€ed the lafi fcflion of t-jye lcgffla_
tue, pointing out a mode for adjusting the claims ol
the Citizens of this Hate agairdt the Cr-eek Nation,,
it was made the duty of the Comptroller-General to
examine, and make ou t schedules, t>f all such claims
as fhoiild be laid before him by the Executive, with
in three months thereof. I accordingly called on that
officer, witbrn the time limited, to Comply with the
requisition of the lawi and receive tl>e claims which
were deposited in the executive office. The packer
o 3 c ontains a copy of my-letter to him or the
mbj-a. and Ims answer, bv which you will perceive
his reafiartsfor not entering on the duties by that lew (
dfigned him. The evidences, of claim againfl theln’-

On the 8: h day of January la ft, Mr. Seymour, of

The lame {ection, in the article of the confii:utioh
just mentioned, declares, ‘ that within five years

The packet number 4, contains a copy of the affi

Since the adjournment of the last Legiflatare
several persons have presented fer settlement, accounts
for supplies furnifhed the militia of the Tower Divi
(ion, when guarding the seacoast againtt the landing
of the breach Brigands ; the claims appear so just,
:h? I hope you will allow payment. The danger of
insurgent negroes landing ,on our coasts, were not
groundless—the corporation ot Savannah, communi
cated the information to my predeceflor. and the
major-general of that Division, and upon that infor
mation, Iteps were immediately taken for preventing
it ; the exigences of which, are an undoubted charge
upon Ihe 1 reafury The corporation were seriously
unprtiled with the danger, as vou will perceive bv
he packet number 5, which aifo shews, that our fitter
rate, South Carolina, was equally vigilant. Under
these impreflions, I mull be allowed to recommend
the LeglCaturc’s auihpriling the iutieuseni of the
accounts, th*t warrants may be drawn on rh

A man in Hancock-, by the name cf Joseph Bridges
was, at the b-H v uperior court, held for that ceuntv,

which you will find by the packet number 7, I was
induced to respire the exrcunon of his sentence, until
the 20th of the next month, in order that he might
Have an opporumi y ot applying to the Legiffetnre

was immediately palled, dirt&ing all dogs in

Sunday we were again alarmed by mad dogs,
and several cirizens were in greate danger—
Monday morning the el deft daughter of
Major I. .ove had her clothes torn by a dog,
and in the course or the day fever a I others
were caught by the clothes by those dangerous
animals—a number of the hogs, and it is
reared feme of the cattle have been bitten.—
It woulj be weli for the citizens to examine
their catile, and be conftamly on the lookout
as we conceive there is yet great danger to
be apprehended, rr.oft of the cattle that were
binen in January last, having gone mad.
With locrow we learn, that in Garrard
county, fix or leven per Fans in one family,
have been bitten, and that with erne of them
symptoms of hydrophobia have appeared.
I heie ciicumftances are truly alarming, and
