The dispute refpefting the boundary line, he;war, the Bate of Forth Caroli na, and us, is (till tnifeuied—Oo the 111la of December last, 1 wrote the governor of that llate, and enclcftd him a copy < f the aft of the general AiTeur.oly, pas sed the 10th of that month, entirieo “An aft for appointing oomniiliionciK for afoertainirg and fixing the dividing line, b<twain this ftn'e. and the ilate o.

The Senate of the United States, having rejeded the treaty, made by the Superintendant of Indian affairs sot the Southern Department, with the Creek Indians, which went to extend cur boun dary to the Oakmulgee river, rendered it unneciffary to convene an extraordina ry meeting of the Legffiature ; I was therefore left to pursue the meafurcs p>inted out by the act entitled, “An aft to make dillribution of 1 lie late celfion of land, obtained from the Creels nation, by the (J. S. Coinmdlioncrv, in a treaty entered into at, or near Fort VV il kitiion, on the iixttenth clay of June, ldoi.” Several of the fnrveyors of the Diftrifts, u'jt makir-g timely returns, ot thetr l rrvcys into tlie Surveyor General’s office, occaiioned the drawing of the lot tciy to he prolrafted to the- iwetuy fe eot.il day of July hit—The fractional par: cf fuiveys, now only remain at the ililpoial of the ilate ; A reviliou us the judiciary lyftc.n will be proper, not only .0 remedy defects which may be found io txift, lnt that Superior Courts may be held within ihc new couulies agreea bly to Ihe ConlLitution. I fiibmit to'the Legifhture vhether a rcvif.cn in our penal coue, would not also be proper—in lornc cases it appears to me, that the puniftirnent is too ianguioa ty —the ellect of which has a tendency top often to induce the jury after finding i the prifonev gudty ot the crimes with | which he is charged to recommend him {to Executive clemency, and which never j iaiis to be accompanied by the humane intercciiioii of many of our fellow citi- Tic-es from the neighbourhood, where tilt ! ..fence has beer, commuted —to with. lu.i-i i jai'don under lu--.it circumhanccS, \ iTjl;ii be to luppo.e lot; cxeeulivt Utvoiu of fenCbility, and regarchfs of his obli gation to Lrciety, ol cau ling justice to be xccuud in mercy—thus the cu-pnt e. capes puiiiihment. In one milanet—the penalty inflifted for fleciiug cattle, 13 derived from an old ! iiutute passed in 1773. *n my opiniou the puuifnment is too severe and not juft ‘y proportioned to the crime.—Sangui nary laws tire not congenial with the na ture if our government, and the preven tion of crime;! dtpenift more on the cer tainty than the ftvtrisy of pumfhments. It would be proper fer you to provide ways ar.d meins v-hereby to dlfcharge the debts due arid owing by the Kate, a llatcrr.cnt cf which was presented to the last Iregifl aturc, by their committee of finance, and entered on the journals; and to wlrn.li 1 heg leave lo refer to you; as soon as tire difference is fettled vrith North Carolina, a revenue may be deriv ed from the fal: cf the lands m Walton county, which remain unlccaled, after the inhabitants fettled thereon at the tirrett was ceded io us by the General goverument, have had lccured to tirem the allotments allowed them Ly the law tor laying out that county.; Relotut-.oiu palled by ti c Legiftators of the itat.lß nt Kentucky and North Carolina, recommending alterations in ihe ledei *l conltitnlion, have been traul milted to me for your concurrence— copits cf-which with copies of Krioiu tii ns vtfftd hy Malldchufctts and fenn* iy'vnr-ia, the former coi.eurring with North Carolina, and the latter with Ken tucky in the proposed amencmcrit will be found in packet No. 5. Allow me to fay ori the fuhjeft of the resolution of the Itate of Kentucky, that lame of our fellow citizens complain of ’.he right of aftion in eaier cogmfable in the Federal court*, being transferable by tiie citizens ol Georgia to the citizens ot other dates,/or tltepurpofe <rl bringinj theniwithin the jurisdiction of the circuit court, which deprive > them ot the bene fit cf a jury cf the neighborhood to which they conceive themlelves entitled, and many of them are compelled to go a diftarcc in attending that court, upwards of one hundred and fifty rniics. That repeated ceiayj ire occasioned by the lengthy pleadings of the Federal pradtice acawncii upon decree is nad, in the circuit court, the diflatufied party tas a nget to a writ of error, trust? bc f-r ’ IVr"?’-‘ j T?e wnnrf, r ’ *. ’■ f ’-c ----. iaims tni.er t!i. j'ulii.i- y law of the \ T nitetl Siat-o, m a y hae witliu liv years after the 1. ft •!< v n,u ot the <•. ui‘ ■ou t—vhertiw l.anni ui cr.uf.a to <• • O C* 1 length of time when the principal par?hr r.fpoiuiei t may be a l drafl. a.ift only or phans left a? parties ititcrtftcfi locoiuvarv to that cx tc'Unt maxhn, which requires j.iftice to be aelminifteted fpeedity with out delay—To fay nothing of bring com pelled to travel better t!.n fix hundred miles to the fc3t of national government, where that court is held, and the great ex pence in defending a iuit in that high tribunal. Our citizens conctive the grievance to be greater when they know that the (late couits are in every quarter fully and regularly exercised, rud justice brought to the door of every individual. 1 cannot oinit mentioning to you the glori ous intelligence, tliat cur fellow citizens, ivho v ere lately in bondage in Tripoli, are now free—Wlm a fnurce of fatisfxAion nuift. it b to every citizen of the United Stales, to know that ar. soon as the information was received of then misfortune, which made them captives, the energies of our Nation were immediately empiswed for their deliver* ance with, that wifiiont, which we have rea fnn to hope will always be found whenever occasion may require. While this oircuni ftance affords its reason to rejoice, there ts another which, if ivc accredit,the various chan nets of public intelligence, forebodes a rap ture with one es the nations of Europe. This ierves me again to call on the l.egillutttre amply to fnpply the llate with the means of Jefts.ce, aid 1 trull the General Alfembly will not rife from its fclßon, until provdion is made li r the acenmplilhment of fodeEt ahle and important an object. There are oilier ccmfiderations which can r.otbe too often brought before our Legisla ture —inch as making provilion, where it may be required, for the education of our \ outh, on which depends the prefervaJon of dim excellent government; and for the im provement of cur high ways and water couv les, each cf which lias been gteatlv attended to by other (Late::, and for which the jni\ prailesotihe enlightened and intelligent of mankind, brth at a home and abroad have been belt-’- ed upon them. The Militia la .l having veiled the Major Generals cotlef.ively with the power cf the de termining on the uniform for the refpedlive. corps cf Militia, I deemed it p.roper to con vene them at this place*, on the of An guftlall, fur that 0! je£t; I herewith transmit m packet No. 6, the refuil of then- meeting. I.i purfu,nice of a concurred resolution of the iait General Aflembly, certain papers in the Treasury, to wit—Paper Medium, Audi ted Certificates, funded CcrtiHcltvs, Gover nor';.

On the :7th ofhll month, I had an inter view with the Ihperlntendam of Indian Af fairs, who was 011 his way to the feat of Na tional ftovernment with a deputation of Creek Indians, v ho, lie laid,'were veiled with full power to dispose of the lands to the Oak-.nulgee River.—Having befote received m fubltance the above information, 1 took an early opportunity of writing to the secretary of war, reminding him of the claihis cfour citizen?, for depredations committed by the Indians at tliil'crcitt jiericds, a schedule of which I had before transmitted; a c- ppyof my letter and his answer thereto, are contain ed in packet No. 7, The warrant* which have been drawn on the treasury, during the political year 1 805, you will find in packet No. 3a mounting io the aggregate, to the lum of D 44,364 24 1-2 cents ; I). 37 469 97 cents ot winch were fpeei?lly appro priated by iaw.—Out of the fifteen thouiand dollars appropriated as a con tingent. fond, 1 have drawn to the a omimt of D. 6,894 27 1-2 cent3 of which D. 465 64 3 4 cents were requir ed, by a concurred and approved rtlolu ticn of the iaft general aflembly, to be drawn from that lintd. The only cases if an extraordinary nature with which the contingent funn iias hten made cliargai/ie are for the pay and fubfiftance of a guard in Chatham county, to prevent the spreading of the final! pox —lor the labounoue taiit of ar ranging and tranferibing in alphabetical order the names cf our fellow citizens throughout the fbte, who were entitled to draws in the late Land Lottery—and for the expenccs of three of the cam miffiooers of fatd lottery, while at the feat of government—no special appropri ation having been made in their favor, I thought it but justice to defray their cx penctc, not doubling but that the legis lature will amply reward them for their ferviccj, which were faithfully and fatis fadtorily performed, A lift of Executive appointments made ’ during the recefa ~f the Lcgiflature, is j marked No. 9, and v/ill require your in terference.
