&' 1 ?* FREDERICK S. KELL, CITT TUfUTBA. Daily l uper ....Eiglrt Dollars per annum. Couutry l*aper.„ Six Dollars per annum. IX 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 8 A -'JULaALv 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. “This morning, » bill was reported In the House of Representatives to vest in the corporation of Savannah, the election of health officer and har bour master 1 am under the impression, no op position will be made to its passage, it being the opinion of many members, thut the city council ought to possess tbe power, as contemplated by the bill, “A bill lias passed the House of Representatives, confirming the titles made by tbe Mayor ami Al dermen of Savannah iu fee simple, or otherwise of the city common, and also giving the control ol the Court House and .fall of C atliam County to the Justice* of the Inferior Court and Slierill, “The committee to whom was refetred so much of the Governor’s communication, as relates to col Hammond, have nearly brought their la boors to a close.
