Universal applause. •
Railed, by your virtues and fenrdes; to
the bead of a government, pervading so many
independent dates, the general confidence is
in favor of your julticc; and, while the his- *
tory of nations informs, that the errors of
tulers have often proceeded from the want of
information, we (hall not hesitate to by be
fore you such lasts and opinions, refpefting ;

aim to unite plainness with refpeft, and inte

- ;; The Prefidenfs jlnjiver*
To the GENERAL ASSEMBLY of the
STATE of GEORGIA.
Gentlemen,' f ,/
’'“ff HE conjcrettththfaiß preferred to me by
, | the different branches of Use Legnla
ture of the State of Georgia, upon my hav
ing been slefted, 1 ' wiijh unanimity to the Fte-
Cl- w ■* • w ** • •’-WfjMjj
with the mu(t and de
mand my bet! acknowledgments.
From the obfervatiotf, that, in the great
concerns of mankind, faccefs has not always
been attendant on the performance of duty,
and that, where it has, the Unction of pub
lie approbation has frequently been \yithneld;
lam naturally led to reflect or. Uis unlimited
gratitude Which we owe, as a nation, to the
Supreme- Arbiter of human events, for hi*
ime rpolltion in oiir iavor, as well as on the
Angular obligations which ar<{ due from me,
as an individual* for .the indulgent feiittments
it which my fellbw-citicens have always bad the
goodness to enter am of ray conduct.
Raised, as I am, to the head of a govern
ment pervading so vait i territory—and puY
feriing, a# I flatter mylelf I do, the confi
dence of the people in regard to my deposi
tions—l allure you gentlemen, that nothing
could be more conKniatn to ray fifties, than
to be favored with tucb faCis and opinions,
retpe&ing the condition of the hates, as may
"appear proper and treceliary. For lam du 1 /
’ fteofibre, that many error* which would te
fuk frora want of infoimation, may obvi
ated by timely and just lepfelentMm-.*.
i am not ignorant how me local fi
xation of your ftaie exposed its inhabitants
to fuffer the drftreflej r>f the late war in a
severe manuer; nor bnw manfully they exert
) ed themselves m defence of the common
cause during the struggle which eftabliihed our
independent?.—Wafted as your country was,
at the return of peace, and expofert as your
frontiers have ftnee been to the ravages of the
Indians; I cannot but flatter myfsJf that*i«u
will, ere long, realife the blefliuga which w*ie
to be expected from your natural rcfourXs,
and find a compenfatron for yourfufenv’gi, in
the benefits of an efficient general govern
ment. \ ; * * w
It will not be expefleV * preft»rr%>*f
tbit occafiou, that I rtiould enter into itit itje
rae of the delicate fubjeCt te which you aifu&.
It may be c ot ; to fay, that, while I •«- .
giet eiimntly tberfailiitef of »he Ure otvoci*

nothing will be wanting on your part to ecu*
cur in the accomplilhinent of a pacification r
And I flill hope, that under the influence of
the feudal government, that dcfirable ©bjefl
ma) be effected.?—With refpctt to this lub*
jrit in general, at well as to the oiher cala*
mity which you mention, as resulting from
your being the booth frontier of the Union,
I reqneft you will be peifuaded, that I lhall
make such ule of the powers veiled in m«
by the f’ontlitution, as may appear to me bell
calculated to promote the'piibH,c good. .
I am much pleased, Gentleinen/ ! wirh tha
