The following are some of thg leading provi

from the Kaskaskia Intenigenccr:
The governor is to be elected quadrennially,
and is to receive, until 1824, an a.uiuai saia, y
one thousand dollars.
A supreme court is to be established, consist
ing of lour judges, elected by a joint bailor of
both branches of the general assembly, m hold
their offices until 1824, and t, . t alter during
good behaviour. This provision is to enable tne
state to avail itself of any accession ol talents
which it receive, prior ic tne period, in
forming a permanent judiciary, l’ne judg s re
ceive an an aj salary of oile thousand dollars;
tliey form a-, council to tne governor, and nave
an equal voice on tne passage ol an bins with
the governor.
The general assembly is composed of a se
-1 nate and house ol representatives. Tne senators

must be twenty five years of age, and have re
sided one year in the county pievious to their
election. Tne members ol tne nouse ot repre

The seat of government is to be at Kaskaskia,

He iu the best statesman, who best understands our cm*

no! deal wisdom. It is the rock on which we have
founded the temple of liberty; the’rains have come,
an.’ icw•- Is heat upon it, bill it still stands. Certain
anuUhnents of” the constitution have been proposed,
by ficere pat riots-and enlightened statesmen, of both
par its. Their opinio.is ma be correct', and ttye right
to :4icnd is unquestionable; yet it is to be deeply re-
(1 thaLthe period of amendments is not past, as,
* cleatingßdoubt of its perfection, they tend continu
ally impair its sanctity, and Aifeeble its authority.
Bujt let it nex-er he forgotten, that the stalwty 7 and
: perpetuity td"a republic dots no., depend, exclusively,
on the excellence of its constitution. If the people,

“asmiAh as \he people are the supreme directors of po
litic •diiffairs, they should at least be acquainted with the
I cons .tution, which is the very foundation of their free
: and >m and the warrant of their political sovereignty.—
The (institution ought to be considered an indispensi
hle branch of scholastic learning in all the colleges and
i schools of the United States. But how seldom do we
j meet With this sacred compact; this estimable charter;
j fhis palladium of our liberty , except in the libraries of
; lawyers- and learned men! A republic may exis 1 , l ng
after the corruption of its morals, but there is no antidote
again* the benumbing and deadening effects of igno
, rune el The book of Constitutions and the Bible should
occujA the same shelf of the farmer, for, next to his
G<‘i. *is country demands his consideration and love.
Bu| is must be remembered, that it is necessary to for
tify the body pollfic not only against internal clirrupticn
ana disorder, but u’so to defend it aguinsi the enemies
by wh.cli Isgurrounded. The tree ofourfibertv must
not only be able to stand alone, but, like the well-root
ed oak, to withstand the tempests of extraneous power.
As bur’s is the only republic on earth; us she has exalted
herself in thefinidst ot governments which are naturally
and essentially her enemies, her permanent security
nius. depend on her physical strength. Hence the ne
cessity of naval and military forces. These should be
just competent—not so great as to be dangerous to our
selves, nor so small ns to be harmless to our enemies.—
In medio hrinimig tkia. On this sabject the American
statesman should exert the greatest sagacity and circum
spection. As real sovereignty consists in strength, the
sovereign people should retain the power to rule in their
own hands—hence a well organized, well disciplined
and well armed militia, is the safeguard of a republic,
the bulwark of its liberty .
Vi hen war is constitutionally declared, that man is an
enemy to his country, or at least a worthless friend, who
will not aid the administration in defending i “ honor
and independence. Our political e.’ istence is then assail
ed, and the weightiest matters of political controversy,
are nothing in comparison with that momentous sake.
After the enemy has struck a blow into the bosom of
our country, to hesitate is to be lost. W’e must not only
promptly contribute our personal, but also our peevnia
■ry aid to the government. It is ttue, a permanent sys
tem of direct taxes should never be resorted to—because
they are intrinsically odious to the people—because
they are vexatious and oppressive—because they mul
tiply the unconditional supporters of a ruling power,
and because they are unnecessary, inasmuch as our ordi
nary revenues are adequate to the support ofthe ordina
ry expensesof our government. But when our country,
and all that is dear to freemen, is in imminent danger,
it would be a matter of as omslmient if a citizen of this re
public, could ever object o a tax many shape, or to any
necessary amount. “A am neque qttics gentium sine ar
tnis; tteqwe arma sine stipendiisn npte slipendia sine tri
butis haheti queuntP The bold and efficient taxation
of the people to support the expences of what has been
emphatically styled the “second war of independence,’*
will be held in perpetual memory, and imitated by fu
ture administrations, under similar circumstances. But
let it ever be (as it then was) the ultimo ratio of republic
j can legislators.
So long as the existing administration maintains the
republican principles and pursues the judicious meas
ures w hich are now settled and acknowledged, it will
meet with the unanimous support of every true friend
to the country. The best efforts of the Gioimum shall
• be dedicated to the support of such principles, such
j measures and such rulers. But let it be distinctly un
derstood, that ihe G.orii ax can never comlc.-w.-nd to
become an unqualified adherent to any party, the in
terests of the people shall never be sacrificed to tiie am
bition of a ft*v.
For many ) ears past, this republic has been unhappi-
I lv divided into two parties, each of which lias accused
tiie other of entertaining assigns ami pursuing meas
ures, ruinous to the welfare and dangerous to tne lib
erties of the people. But all this tone our country has
been marching, with giant 3i.ru os, to wealth, grandeur
and renown; exaibitmgan unparalleled example of pre
cocious greatness. In lhc* cry cradle fiiF her infancy
she signalized herself by Tin t /lean expioi■ s—*nuy! she
sprang into existence, like Minerva tfoin the .head of
.lore, full grown at birth’ Whatever errors may have
been committed, we should be in a great measure T*e-t
conciled by contemplating the present wealth, strength,
prosperity and gh vy of onr country. !t would be im
proper to dismiss tliis subject, without adverting to Uie
happy termination and glorious consequences of the last
war. !t has produced a moral effect upon ibis nation,
Which even one sees and feels, It has proved the val
or and strength of the people; it has tested the conser
vative and recuperative energies of our government; it
has resuscitated Lire languishing spirit of patriotism,
and rekindled the dynig.Jiume of our national glory—it
has harmonized political discord; conciliated the animo
sity of parties; cemented the union and friendship be
■ nveen the sister states, and thereby consolidated the
scattered fragments of ou; national energy, >nto one im
mense and irresistible mass of physical power.’ Our
government is no longer considered an experiment.
With regard to tins state, the utmost abilities of the
Georgian shall I e devoted to its welfare. Commerce
anil agriculture, which gtv© to Geor, ia a distinguished
rank and importance m the uni- n, ffiali be objects of
special attention—consequently , e- cn spec.es oi’ inter
nal improvement which is calculated to advance die in
erests of either, will fie regarded with a solicitous and
zealous eye. Ihe improvement of our internal naviga
tion and the estaolisfimeht ot a liberal and enlightened
sy stem of education , are measures of the highest im
portance to the welfare and reputation of Georgia, and
must be ardently recommended by every man who un
‘ derstands the true policies of the slate. The impiove
ment, the wealth, growth and general prosperity of the
city of Savannah will he studiously promoted, and in
doing this, not only the interest of its inhabitants is con
sulted, but also the agricultual prosperity of tiie whole
