MR. BERRIEN’S SPF.E H,
Concluded from our last, on the bill al-
Ajcring ihc.Sd section of the 2d article of the
constitution of litis slate, so as la vest the
election of governor in the people.
And what, in this regard, is tire Execu
tive history of UcvfKia? I speak generally,
without the slightest disposition to violate
individual feeling, or to shrink from any
investigation which is demanded by tbe
interesting enquiry in vv hicit vve ore enga
got. H>>w often has the Executive veto
been culled into exercise ?—When has tbe
srgts «t Executive'authority been interpos
ed, for tbe protection of an offlrer, vltont
the legislature bad denounced ? 1 turn to
the recollections of earlier vpars—They
point to ouc Governor of Georgia, who,
rich in the confidence »>l the people, beyond
the ordinary lot of man, was nevertheless,
always ready in the fearlessness of an honest
spirit, to risk the harvest of his popularity
upon the cast which duty demanded.' 1
.knew another, sir, perhaps another, who
would hi.ro breasted the shock of legisla
tive clisp’easure, in obedience to its man
dates But these instances are rare—They
at'' thinly scattered along the line of Exec
utive history, l'rom the very nature ol
man, they cannot he expected olten to re
-ccive Arc men, the-.c powers thus so
le only granted by the constitution, to the
Executive department, never to be called
•into fiction? \re they merely nominal?
The Executive is required to exercise a
■qualified control over the acts of the Gene
rul Assembly, and vet he is dependent on
ah it very Assembly,for his official existence.
In ihe transactions of private life, what value
whould you attach to a right, whatever
jnight be the solemnities with which it was
conferred, which could not he exercised but
under pain of the displeasure of him, 01
whom sou were dependent for existence
Is not the individual, who is clothed will
the little brief authority, which tin consti
luiion confers on the Executive department
still > man, with all the passions &c feeling
and apprehensions which belong to bis na
ture ?
Shall I be told tha‘ the infrequency of
the use of these po vers arises from the
uuilorm correctness of our legislation, from,
the absence of all occasion which might
demand their exercise ? And who, that is
familiar with the history of that legislation
will hazard this assertion ? Rtciir to
records, and ascertain If vve have always
respected the boundaries prescribed by the
constitution ; if we have uniformly reveren
ce l Hie sacred obligation of contracts;
wc have not too often assumed to ourselves
the exercise of Ju liciary power ? VVh
has arisen to restrain these excesses ? How
often h is the executive interposed the bar
rier of live constitution ? Tiierp was one
memorable instance. It is fresh in your
remembrance. The moment of excite
ment has passed away, and vve can now
judge of it with candor. I recur with min-
g! d emotions ol pride and of humiliation,
to tbe recollection of Early. It is a sub
ject of honest pride, that Georgia could
boast of such a citizen. It is matter of deep
and oppressive humiliation, that he was
the victim of our ingratitude. If such a
man had been the contemporary of Aris
tides, he too might have b. cn subjected to
ostracism by the intrigues of Themistocles,
but like Aristides, his name would have
descended to posterity with the epitnet of
Jvst. It was such a man who ventured in
the exercise of his acknowledged constitu
lionai powers, to stay the march of legisla
tion in the moment of its excess. No one
denoted the integrity of his motives. Not
a whisper was heard to arraign the purity
of ms intentions, or the legitimacy of his
claim to the unbiassed exercise of bis judg
ment in the discharge of an official duty.
A long career of uniform, undeviating pat
riotism had elevated him above the alutos
phe.ro, in which detraction dwells. And
what was he high reward of an honest,
fearless, independent discharge of duty ?
H sought, and founJ it sir, in the con
sciousness of his own rectitude. He found,
bin did not seek it, in the benedictions, of
his countrymen, which followed him in his
retirement, when the occasional excitement
of lue moment had subsided. For the rest,
the narrative is brief. He resisted the le
gislative will, and at tbe expiration of his
cun cut o flic id term, he ceased to have the
power of doing so. In the exercise of the
authority delegated to him by the constitu-
tint,, he i (Fixed his veto, to a legislative act
He -: d against the legislative suprema
cy In the exeicise ol their constitutional
au.oonty the legislature superceded him,
fcy he election of another. Can his suc
cess'.; rs, who may imitate his example, hope
to escape his fate? And what brighter
etrample can you present to their imitation?
The argument from experience, lrom our
own sad experience, leads then directly to
this conclusion. The Governor is entrust
ed by the constitution, with a portion of the
legislative power, but being dependent up
o nr the legislative will, be cannot exercise
it, without the imminent hazard of bis ofti
cial existence. Tp enable him to discharge
toe duties confided to him by the constitu
tion, he must not depend for his official ex
isti^cc, on those whose excesses he is re
qu®d to control. If, there is no danger ut
legislative excess, why does the constitution
ctcate a ptoJf'er to control it? If there
danger, tvhyY^hi you forbid the exercise ol
that pwv.er, oy this system of Executive
prostration and vaisabge? That the Go
teruor may have the power to preset ve tin.
rights of rhe people, he must be elected by
the people.
Bui our opponents allege that the peo
ple are not a, competent as the iegislatui;
ta uie selection yt a Chief magistrate, an
‘key present au alarming picture ot the
evils, vBtic.li they suppose would result
om confiding to them this power. The
nswer to this objection brings us to the
remaining branch ol this discussion. Sir,
1 am not the mere panegyrist of tlm peo
pic, but who, I would respectfully enquire,
arc we, who deny to them, the virtue in
telligence, and discretion, which arc neces
sary to the proper selection of a Chiel Ma.
gistrate ? Or rf Gentlemen please, why
assume to ourselves the possession of these
[uulities, in a greater degree than they are
possessed by the people ? We form a
part of that people sir, distinguished lrom
thorn only by the fuel, that they have cnos-
cn, to clothe us, with a little brief authority
to bo used according to our best judgment
for their best interest. I am told that the
legislature may be considerca as an assem
blage of the collected wisdom of the state
and my self love would induce me, to leel
all the value ol my persona! share in this
compliment. But sir, there is a stubbor
ness in facts, which dissipates this delusion.
I speak with perfect respect for my asso
ciates in this honorable House, whin I say
that the wisdom of the state is not confm
ed to so small a portion of its members —
I direct iny view to the county, which I,
have the honor to represent on this floor,
and I can number more than one of her ci-
tizensj_as_cr>mpclent, more competent to
the duties -I legislation, than the individual
to whom she has on this occasion confided^
her interests. Are other counties loss for
tunate ? But sir, I can concede to our op
ponents the assertion Tor which tHey con
tend and still claim the vantage ground of
the argument. Admit that the collected
wisdom of the state, is here. What then ?
Surely sir, the people have displayed much
wisdom, in making such a selection. Nor
is il merely in the choice of members ol
tbe State legislature that the people have
manilested their competency to the cxer
rise i.f the elective franchise. In the move
difficult tuak of selecting from a long list ol
candidates, those who shall represent them
in one branch of the national councils, they
have afforded to you an evidence still more
convincing. I am willing to do justice v
the wisdom of the legislature, in the selec
lion of our Senators, and the concession is
in perfect accordance with my private feel
ings, of respect and good will to both the
individuals, who have been called to that
distinguished station. But out representa
tivrs m the other branch of the nations 1
legislature, are they without their claims
to a passing tribute on this occasion ?—
Does Georgia boast of the n and, justly
too as among ti e most distinguished of her
if the interests oT this indiv idual county
should he opposed to those of the sta’e,
would my duty be less clear? Having
sworn to VQte on all questions, as may in
my judgment most conduce to the interest
of the State, can I sacrifice these interests,
to those of a particular county, even al
though that county be the one which I ve
present ? When, therefore, the members
from the smaller counties, arc called upon
to resist this bill on the ground of particu
lar and local interests, I invoke the oath by
which they have solemnly bound themselves
to God and their county, to silence these
sectional leelings.
Finally—it is contended, that this bill is
contrary to the wishes of the people—tha'
it is merely useless, and will still leave the
choice with the Legislature. Sir, the teoa
city with which we cling to this power,
proves that it is desirable to us. Why
should we suppose that it is less so to the
people ? It is-saul, that they have not pe
titioned us to gran' it. Why should they
h ive done so ? The legislature ol 1821,
having passed this hill by large majorities,
announced to the people, their determine
lion to in v est them with the right of elect
ing their Chief Magistrate. What portion
of that people, has refused the offered
boon ?
A gam—it is urged, that it will be mere
Jy useless—that a majority ol the people
pvill not concur in a choice. They succeed
in other states—why not in this? But sure
Iv this objection ought not to come from
those who oppose this bill. If the people
fail to make a choice what then ? It de
volves upon the assembled wisdom ol the
stalc'to make it. Our opponents have then

TUESDAY EVENING, IHckmhkii 10, 1822.
"Hy par, here'* monsieur Tonson come agam:
“PHILO ARISTIDES,” to Doctor Mosss Shkf
tall, is received.
FROM JH1LLEDGKVILLR.
Extract of a letter' from vlillcdgcville, dated 6th
December 1822, to tie Editor of the Kepubli-
sons? They are chosen, sir, by that very
people, whom the objection would repre
sent as incompetent to the choice of a Chief
Magistrate.
Now, ihe objection changes its front.—It
admits the capacity of the people to judg
but denies to them the means of exercising
that judgment, from a want ol personal
knowledge of the candidates ? Havethey
more personal acquaintance with the candi
dates for Congress? But this personal ac
quaintance of which the objection speak
is it essential, is it even desirable to the
elector? And what is the acquaintance
which members of the legislature have with
the various candidates who are offered u
their choice? Is it not often made on the
very eve of an election? \ pleasing ex
terior, engaging manners, respectful at
tentions, are these, on such an acquaintance
without their influence on the judgment?
Ought the judgment to be so influenced ?
Upon twenty thousand electors, dispersed
throughout the state, this address and
these blandishments cannot be displayed —
Deprived »f these resources, the candidate
for the office of Chief Magistrate belore the
people, must rely upon being generally
known to them, thro’ the medium of his
public services alone. Those only who
are thus known, will venture to claim their
suffrages. For one, sir, I sm content to
require that a man should become known
to the people by his public services in su.
bordinate stations, belore he aspires to the
highest office of the state.
Opposition next seeks to sustain itself,
by pourtraying in vivid colors, the evils
which will result from this amendment.—
An election of the Chief Magistrate by the
people, it is contended, will produce an en
due excitement of public feeling. It will
increase tbe opportunities of intrigue. It
will destroy the tquilibrium resulting from
the ratio of representation established by
the constitution. Let us briefly examine
lltcsd objections.
Why should public leeling be thus un
duly excited ? Will it not he excited equal
ly and in a greater degree in the selection
of representatives at every biennial election?
The amendment which we propose, re
quires the people (o select from two, three,
or perhaps four candidates, ono person to
erve as their Chief Magistrate. A single
act of volition determines the question as
it regards each individual. The vote is
given, and the struggle is past. The pre
sent system calls upon them to choose from
more than three hundred candidates, those,
who in the character of legislators, are to
determine for them this agitation question.
The choice is made, but “the long agony is
not over” yet The interval between the
election by the people, and that by the le
gislature, is a period of restless agitating, ol
being intrigue of bitter and revengeful led
ing. Recur to the agitations ol 1821. Con
.emplate in imagination those which wil
occur in the year upon which we are soon
to enter, and we cast the decision upon tin
candor even of our adversaries.
Wifi tbe bill on your table increase tin
opportunities ofintrigue ? N > sir, it wib
diminish them. The great body of tin
people occupy a space loo targe for its op
rations. Intrigue delights in the conccn
ballon of its objects. It is much easier i
ry the force of persuasion on one hundred
and sixty, than on twenty thousand dec
tors.
But, it is urged, that it will destroy the
. quilibriuin resulting from the ratio of r;
uoscillation. S*r, the objection does no.
■ 'aclinic. 1 he county of Chatham wi.
lii enjoy tier proper influence in tiie choKi
ot a Clucl Magistrate. Ii it were not so;
the benefit of tbe very system Which they-
admire They object to our scheme be
cause it will not effect a choice by tbe peo-
pic, which is the result, that they deprecate,
but will still leave that choice to be made by
the legislature, which is the very consum
mation they desire. Wc do not question
the sincerity ol this doubt, as to the practi
cal effect ot the proposed alteration ; but
surely sir, the objection conies from the
wrong quarter.
If we have succeeded in removing the
apprehension of evil from the passage of
this bill, let us for a moment cont. mplale
some orthe benefits which will result, from
u exclusively of those immediately con
netted with the pr. serration of the vital
principle of the constitution, the distinct
ness anJ independence of the several tic
larlmcms.
Sir, the election of a Chief Magistrate by
the people, will secure to *he department
more distinguished talents, for the plain
»nd obvious reason than where it is tluis
rendered rcallv independent, it will afford a
more ample field For their display. By re
licving that depat tment lrom its dependence
upon the legislature, you wi'l render its
Chief, practically and directly accountable
to the people. Finally sir, and it is not its
least benefit, it will increase the purity ol !o
gislutton. Its operation in this regard, wil
be two fold. Y >ur Senators and Repre
sentatives will he selected with a tegard to
iheir fitness and capacity for the perfor
mance of their appropriate duties. We
shall no longer have the miserable speclu
le of individuals chosen, merely with
view to their vote in the election of tbe
Chief Magistrate. Again, sir, our councils
I ire biennially distracted by tltc pretension#
| of rival candidates for the Executive chair.
Three days of agitation, of intrigue, of sus
picion, are succeeded by the exultation of
triumph, and the irritation of defeat. Wc
should he more or less than men, if these
leelings did not insensibly infuse themselves
into subsequent legislation.
Such, sir, are my imperfect views on this
interesting question. They are hastily I
sketched, and the constant desire iu oe brief |
on a subject, the expansive character of
which, seemed almost to forbid brevity, has j
necessarily excluded many illustrations, of
which it is susceptible. Such as they are,
they are respectfully submitted to the consi
deration of the Senate. I ask you, sir, to
give independqpce to the Executive Ma
gisfatc, purity to Legislators, to the Peo
ple their just and unq ,cstionable right. I
am aware that your assent to this bill, re
quires a sacrifice of selfish feeling: that it in
volves a surrender on the trarfctf the legisla"
ture, of a power which y, flattering to the
pride of our nature: hut I Jouk to this hono
rable House, for the magnanimity which the
occasion demands, and will cheerfully acqui
esce in the decision which theii judgment
may awaid.

“Ds*nSin—In the Republican of the 29th ul
you are told by a writer from this place, in remark
ing upon the subject of the bill reducing die fe<
for grants of lottery lands, that “sonic genlltmc
exeitcd themselves wa. mly in favor of the legis
lative prostitution of supposed popular wishes.”
This i3 a hold declaration; and although I was ou»
who voted for the bill, it is not the fact that I did
it for “popular wishes ” I did thus vote, bream
l could not be satisfactorily informed why o-
wherefore the price of the grants should be tn
creased from feT2 to g!8 or 19—and hec.iuse tbs
sate, if it could afford to dispose of the p
lands, at a time wli-m money was worth 5't pel
cent less than it is now, there should be a redoc
ti*>n of the same ratio in the expense of obtaining
them. I have ever been opposed to the mode of
disposing of the newly acquired territories; and
would give every possible vote I could controu!
so to involve the state, as to bring it to what I con
sider it, a sense of duty and general interest by
disposing of them in a manner more advantageous
to the interests of otir state; but, the declaration
of your correspondent on the subject of the vote
given on the question to reduce the fees of office
for grants, that there was “legislative prostitu
tion,” is certainly incorrect as far as relates to my
self. I have been, however, anticipated in in., re
marks that I may have made on the subject, by
the gentlemen who made the communication to
you; and he has shewn me a letter, subsequently
written to you, which 1 hope you will aho miki
