Friday Nov. 19.
Mr. Blackphear from the committee
on the State of the republic, to whom
was referred-obmmunicaiion of Ids
Excellency the Governor, anti theac
companyiug resolution of thelegislature
of the state of Ohio, on the subject of
the abolition of slavery—having had
the same under consideration, ask leave
to report—That the constitutional,
guaranty made to the states holding
slaves is no less sacred than the obliga
tion imposed upon the constitution arid’
laws for the protection of the rights of
private property. Such states owe it
to themselves to preserve unimpaired
those rights, since the causes which
extracted the constitutional concession
on this subject continue to exist in all
their force. Your committee are
therefore constrained to view the reso
lution of the Legislature of Ohio as
calculated to infringe the rights of the
state of Georgia in common with oth
er states, similarly situated in this par
ticular, and as indellicate in those from
whom it emanates. If “the evil of
slavery be considered a national one,”
your committee beg leave to refer the
Legislature of Ohio to the situation of.
the country as it was originally settled
in the South by our ancestors; and to
those circumstances, by the force of
which, slavery in America commen
ced its existence. ’ While your com
mittee contemplate with ho ordinary
emotions the ameliorated condition of
the slave hi the southern country, thtty
view with regret, this unnecessary in
terference on the part of a sister state,
so well calculated to excite the anticipa
tions and hopes of the ,lav ejand to impel
him to those acts, which instead of bet
tering his condition, must augment his
misfoi tunes. Your committee there
fore consider the resolution as viola
live of the true dictates of humanity,
and this idea is supported by a contrast
of the slave population, of the south,
with the wretched and miserable con
dition of the free people of color who
crowd the houses of punishment and
correction in some of our Sister states.
11, in the south they do not revel in li
bel ly, they ate at least supplied with
the necessary wants of life. Georgia
claims the right with her Southern
Sisters, in this regard
b similar,*-gf* moving this question
when an enlarged system of benevolent
snd philanthropic exertion in consisten
cy with her rights and interest shall
render it practicable. Your commit
tee take leav.e, therefore, to recom
mend the following resolution.
Resolved , thatTher resolution of the
state of Ohio, proposing the emanci
pation of slaves, passed the 17th clay of
January, 1824, be, and the same as
hereby disapproved by the Legislature
of this State; and that his Excellency
the Governor be hereby requested to
transmit a copy of this resolution to
the Executive of each of the Uni
ted States, which was read Rnd agreed
to.
Mr. Blackshear from the commit
tee on, the state of the tepnblic, also
made the following Report—The com
mittee on the state of the republic, to
whom was referred a resolution of the
State of Mississippi, expressive of the
sense of the Legislature of that state,
on that part of the late message of the
President of the United States to Con
gress, which announces the policy in
tended to be pursued by the United
Slates in reference to certain views*
imputed to tire principal powers of Eu
rope, have had the same under their
serious deliberation. Although the
course of national policy indicated
in the communication referred to must
be considered as that which is consis
tent with the attitude which this nation
ought to assume and maintain in the
actual condition of the world, and no
thing but what ought, if possible, to
increase and confirm the just confi
dence hitherto repossed iri the vener
able and illustrious statesman, who now
administers the government. Yet, as
the people of this nation have appoin
ted another medium for the expression
of their sentiments qp questions of
international policy, your committee
deem it most correct and adviseable
for this Legislature to abstain from in
terposing officially in this and other
matters not regularly within the scope
of their powers.
Y4ur committee therefore respect
fully recommend the adoption of the
following resolution:
Resolved , as the opinion of the Le
gislature of the State of Georgia, that
as well to preserve a due distinctness
in the operations of the General from
the State-Governipents, as from an un
diminished confidence in the present
Chief Magistrate of the Union, they
deem it inexpedient to act on the reso
lution transmijed from the state of Mis
sissippi—which was read and agreed
to.
On Motion of Mr. Prince—Resol
ved, That the joint committee on the
Judiciary be instructed to enquire in

their executors or administrators as the
law now stands, ’ and that they have
leave to report by bill or otherwise.
The bill to appoint county Treas
urers and to define their duties was
amended, read the third time and pass

A message was received from his
Excellency the Governor, announcing
