It would take up too much room to publish the report entire. The substance of it, is. that the establishment has been managed through the current year with industry, and a gradual improvement i ri its internal regulations; cddsiderabTs im provement is also to be seen iu the articles produced by the labor ol the convicts, but it is obvious that much time and attention will be requisite to bring to perfection the various branches of industry that may be established. The committee airy remark, that the books and aefcounts are kept id a inner highly gratifying to us, an;! creditable the keeper. The infancy of this institu tion, and the turtali number of convicts who ire qualified workmen at the time of their reception, arc heavy drawbar!!cn the pro fits of their labor.

I: liar, been .lie un fortunate lot of our siale.-to be efobroiled in the question of “teniloriul right,"’ almost from the commencement of her existence. The feelings excited by such warmth and succession ot contest, have been heightened and -aggravated by inconveniences and ex posures incident to our frontier situation. Tc- alleviate this condition—to circumscribo oiir-cartent of settlement and become more defensible; and finally, to settle the question^ ol'territory, llibits.and boundaries, were,the prevailing inducements to .the vast relin quishment made bv Georgia to the Unjlcd Si-tcs, in the articles of agreement and • cs- sion of 1802. Abstractedly from these in- Mucmncnts, it will tiot be contended that [ otheip considerations could have produced' the effect. The period has now arrived; when iu tHo opiijion of your mcnjorialists, the subject is tio longer io be regt.latcd'by the rules of policy and convenience.,'Jut lias assumed the more deiimte and substantial .'•liape ol'positive light! It has long licci; the design of Georgia, that her settlement* should be attended to her ultimate limits,— that the’ soil w ithin her lioiliularies should be subjected to iier coiitroi, and that her police, organization and government} slioukl befij- ed and peiiuarleut. For the foiii.ment A tiu-se desires, we have waned,On tide pf crefu 1 ., and observed the march of. time fjir seventeen years. Within this po;1bd, vyc have witnessed, with much gratiiicktion, tl-'e spread of the Union, gird tne accession of states and lcii-itoi-.es, grrtitcr in extent than liie original confederation. Two of the members of this vast family are the descen dants of Georgia, yet Georgia loses her strength and influence as a member of the republic, retarded as she is, in her growth and population, and denied the lostering aid of her common parent. ( The stipulation coni uinef! in the articles of agreement and cession of 1802, is tlfe principal point to vt-hicii your memorialist would invite your attention. This contract, from the time it v.-fts enteied into/l.-.ri becA subject to be performed whunever the same could be done ou “peaceable, and reason!*-' bie.terms.” By the treaty ofFprt Jackson an opportunity was presented to' the Uni ted States, of perfecting her contract with us, and also to have acquired for herself anit extent, of territory .which she might have thought proper to it[iciate. It is now ascer tained that Georgia obtains by that treaty a tract of country seanjely sufficient jo invite" our attention thither, or to auiJUvrize the process of organization.
