Georgia from tffc Legiffature to the grantees or
Companies. I will not go into the qaeftion of
paffeiSon, which is too clearly palpable couid not
be given by them withoat interfering with the
power of making war and holding treaties with
the Indian tribes, which Georgia has in the fede
ral conffitution given up to the federal government.
Having proved the fate void, and having whirled
the vicious and aerial speculation into infamy at
home, I need not go on federal exceptions.
Interest has great operation on the mind of man,
and no doubt will operate on those concerned in
this unwarrantable bufmefs; therefore I take the
liberty of cautioning the eledo'rs in ail the coun
ties to afeertain the principle of those whom they
appoint to fill up the feats of those Members of
the Convention who have or may resign; let no
man receive your fuffrage who is tinctured with
the smallest portion of this corrupt deed.
