MESSAGE.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
MiLt.KunKviLi.K, Nov. 3, 1640.
Fellow-Citizens of the Senate,
anti House of Representatives:
Thu recurrence of the legal period for dio as
semblage of die Representatives of tho |
finds our country abounding in plenty,
blessings which daily surround us, call for die
response ofgrntefiil hearts to their benificent Au*
tiior, and a proper consideration of tiium, should
impress on us die high obligation we are under,
to rcgnlateour conduct by lit* wilt.
The difficulties which have embarrassed the
Commerce of die world, and produced in nguiy
places distress and ruin, have been felt by our
people, but not so severely as in umuy States of
die Union. The restie.* spirit of speculation
which seemed to have taken possession of die
couutry, exciting the public mind to a state of
delirium, abstracting many of the people from
their customary pursuits, with the Inspiring hope
of the sudden accumulation of fortune, tins been
die chief and prolific source of our embarrass
ments. Debts were contracted without reflec
tion; or upon the wild supposition that the sta
ple commodity of the South, the great regulator
of the value of property*, would maintain an tin-
diminished price, and habits of prodigality as ex
travagant as this unwarrantable expectation,
were indulged. Men who never before yielded
to delusive temptations, caught the contagion,
and those alone escaped who trusted themselves
not within die sphere of its infection. When the
paroxism was over, and the day of retribution
came, and brought witii it that sober consideration
which the debtor, disappointed in bit imaginary
means,, realizes, when thrown upon his actnal
resource# to meet his engagements, the true con
dition of the country was known, and it was one
of extraordinary pressure. Fortunately for the
debtor class of die community, the severity of the
times has been greatly mitigated by the magnani
mous forbearance of many creditors to urge the
collection of dieir debts, and by timely aid afford
ed by the Central Bank. This Institution, with
a liberality becoming it, administered to the gen-
luclntas; wltr

nl without requiring punctuality of institutions
to which has linen granted the oxtmordhiury pri
vilege! of ftirnMiiug it. To tolerate their dnlin-
3 iiftticv, is to offer« premium for misconduct; fbr
ley nlpne are bctiefittcd, while every holder of
their notes sustains n lorn. Tills is imevil which
haN been inflicted on tKo country forTnoro than n
vear.and demands your serious cotishlffltolhitt.—
The iinturo of the remedy that should he applied,
resting in your sound and patriotic discretion,
will doubtless be midi os 1s demanded by the in
terest nfthe people. I would respcotftilly recom
mend that u day bo fixed for tho resumption of
specie payments, allowing dio Banks a reasona
ble time to prepare for it, and that such penalties
be annexed to their relhial, os will insure their
compliance.
Tlte Central Bank, under the management of
an able and experienced Board of Directors, in
addition to die distribution already nlltided to, has
afforded to the Commissioner* of tho Western
mid Attamic Rail Hoad. important facilities, which
have enabled them to discharge many of tho hoa
ry obligations which it i« expected would hnvo
been mot b/tlio sale of Stnto Bonds. ThU men-
euro, warranted by taw, watenUo dictated by a
sens^ of justice to contrnctorrwlm had luborod
-faithfully in this great work, end had incurred
heavy liabilities, on tho punctuality of the Com
missioners. It has also made arrangements for
die payment of the Now-York debt, which, mi-
less prevented by the unexpected default ofdebt-
ora, will bo extinguished early in the next year,
Ny which tho State will bo relieved from (ho dis-
trace inflicted upon it, by permitting its credit to
to sacrificed. It has mot nil tho appropriations
of the Legislature, including the nniount sot opart
for the support of Common Schools. Though
these operations of the Bank liavo resulted in
{ ;roat advantage to the State and people, tiiey
inve left in circulation a largo amount of its
toe which must bn so reduced, before further
accommodations can be granted, ns to save the
country from tho enormous mischiefs ofn depre
ciated currency It is to be hopod that this Bunk,
•o long iho benefactor of the people, will, with its
ample assets, bo enabled to counteract the un
generous effort* of other Banks to discredit its
issues, provided its liabilities are nut increased by
legislative requisitions. If, however, the appro
priations of the Legislature, which are annually
incrna&ng in amount, ore to be met by tho Cen
tral Bank, their payment must be made in the
notes *f dio Bank, for tho redemption of which
no fund is provided; it must cense its oporndou
os a Bilik, collect its debts, speedily recall its cir
culation, which creates an obligation paramount
to ail others, end wind up its nflaira. As n timely
provision against n measure of tills sort I would
recommend to the Legislature a resumption of
tho entire amount orStato taxes, which nave for
some years been given t* the Counties, witii but
Hide benefit to them, but gready to dm injury of
the finances of Urn State.
H may be possible diat the arrangements made
by the Central Bank for the payment of tho debt
dim by tho State in New-Yurk, to which I have
already adverted, may fail. It depends entirely
on the punctuality of its debtors. As this is a
matter involving the character of the State, it
should be placed beyond doubt: itU due to the
creditor, whose circumstances may be serious!'
affected by the suspension of so large a debt (
will be recollected that what creates a legal liabil
ity in dm case of tin individual, imposes a moral
obligation only, on a State, and her honor must
suffer when her debts are not punctually paid. It
will be accessary to provide for any deficiency
that may occur iu dm means provided by die Cen
tral Bank for the payment of this debt.
Sulehai not yet been effected *ef aU tho Bank
Stock owned by the State, and it is highly im-
probable that thut owned iu die Bank of Durieu
can be sojd, upon the terms prescribed in the Ast
directing die sale. This Bank, from an extraor
dinary pressure, was compelled to precede otiiera
in a suspension of payments, which gave
to its credit a shock from which it has not been a-
hie to recover, and of which purchasers will not
fail to seek advantage. I would recommend that
dm State either purchase dm interest of dm indi
vidual Stockholders, and take the (uitimtiou into
its own hands, or sell its own on such terras of
liberal credit as will jpffer uu inducement to pub
chasers to bqy; and in eidier evenC to protect

A party of marauding Indians from Florida In
vaded tho oamftlni of Camdon and Ware:In Au
gust Inst, and after having murdered some of tho
inhabitants, and plundered and destroyed their
fiinns mid dwellings, disappeared. Gonernls
Floyd and Hilliard adopted prompt measures for
tho protection of the exposed district. In which
they were warmly seconded by the patriotic
citizens of those and sonm of the contiguous conn-
tins, who stnppad forward to the -relief of tho
sufferers wilh a spirit and magnanimity worthy
of dm high ‘st commendation. As soon ns Intelh-
f ence of tlicso outrages reached this dcpnrtmom,
communicated it to tho Secretary at Wltr, who,
widi his characteristic promptitude, gnve orders
fora furco to be dotniled from dm Army in Florida,
and march to tho nssuilud pointt and Im assures
me, that tho whole exposed frontier will ho pro
tected. At tho same time, I despatched that ablo
and experienced ofiicer, General Nelson, to tlm
sccttH of those depredations, with orders tu raiie
a sufficient force to pursue the enemy; and cap
ture or drive him from his hidingptaces in Geor
gia. Ho hnB returned from this service. He
penetrated and thoroughly examined the Okefe-
renokee and adjacent swnmps, hut made no dis
covery that would justify tho belief dint the In
dians‘were still in that neighborhood. Yet fearing
from iho impunity with wliich they had committed
former aggressions on this thinly settled section
of tlm State, they might return—in fiict, having
hoard that in nil probn- lily limy v/ero on their

try, four companies uiider the command of Cap
tains Clarke, Tracy, Sweat hiuI Jerulgnu, who
will be retained in the service for that object,

of reports of his operations are laid before you.
The people residing near tho Okefcnokeo and
tlm neighboring swamps, luivo been greatly
annoyed and injured by the occasional incursion
of the Iudians, who, from the facilities for escape
and security afforded them by the situation qftlm
country* and from dio impunity with which their
offences have heretofore been committed, have
of late beconio much emboldened. They havo
presented themselves in increased numbers, and
made their attacks in open day, u circumstance
very unusual In savage warfare; and ns they are
pressed in Florida, it may bo expected that they
will seek a place of refuge m our spncionsiswnnipa,
and tiience more frequently repeat their attacks
on the lives and property of our citizeus. Con
gress at its last session, failed to appropriate
motmy for the support of tlm war in Florida, and
as it w questionable, from Urn interminable dis
cussions which that body has of late inflicted upon
the country, when a fund will bo raised for diat
purpose, you should provide for tlm protection
of the State. It wore better timtihotisands should
be expended, than that a single life should lie lost
from a want of fidelity in the State to her citizens.
The question of Boundary, which often proves
a fruitful source of nngry contention between

I transmit to you copies'of resolutions passed
by tlm Legislatures of Connecticut, Vtirmont, N.
York, Kentucky, New-Jereey, Indiana, and
Maine, relating to matters of general Concern and
nisei,resolutions nfthe State of South Carolina, on
the subject oftho controversy between this State
and tho State of Maine. Among dm resolutions
communicated, you will find one widi a Preamble,
from tlio Stato of Connecticut, whoso object is to
procure die passage of a taw of Congrosa for the
protection oftho Manufacturing interest. Tim
renewal of dlls policy should bo resisted by the
iiso ofa II constitutional means. It cannot be fur-
I ;otten how obnoxious it was to one section of tlio
Jonfoderacy,nor with how much tenucity it wasad
lierred to by miotimr.—-Iu some oftho States, dis
tinguished citizens were found, who wore willing
to throw off tlm glorious Union with all its benefits,
rather than submit to its hardships; while in oth
ers, there was prominent men wno would seo dm
Southern cities covered widi grass, and require
that the calamity bo traced distinctly to this cause,
before they would consent to abandon it. The
bitterness of feeling engendered by this oxciting
measure, is a sufficient objection to its re-adop
tion; but there are other reasons having their
foundation iu principles ofcomiuou rightwhere-
foro it should not be revived. He who cultivates
tbo earth, or tabors at any of dm niccltnnic arts,
sbould not pay tribute to him who manufactures
the materials in which Im is clad. A choice of
occupation is open to all, and none lias a right to
select a trade alter due consideration of its com
parative advantages, and then demand oftheGov-
eruuiont to levy a contribution on tbo rest oftho
country to increase his profits. There is still a
graver objection, which argument of conveni
ence or cxpodioucy should be permitted to over
come.. This Preamble and Resolutions assert
tlm constitutional power of Congress to enact a
taw imposing a protectivo Tariff, without refer
ence to the necessities of dm Government. Con

eoutd not have done more without exposing its
issue* to a ruinous depreciation, which would
have been far more calamitous than tho evils in
tended to be remedied by its kind interposition.
Though the late distribution has been liberal, it
has come fur short of relieving the embarrass
ments of the people. It is impossible, and per
haps inconsistent widi principles of sound policy,
for the Government to undertake to protect the
citizen from the consequences of imprudence or
mixaicatatimi. A reliance of this sort would be
get a dependence destructive of individual enter-
prize, engender ami cherish habits of reckless
speculation, and foster a spirit of indifference to
active and industrious pursuits, hostile to die
welfare of society. Habits of mdustry and a ri
gid economy thut would forbid the expenditures
of die year to equal the lowest estimate of the
trobable income, and a firm resistance to the al-
umnenu to speculation, held out by the tempt
ing prospects of unreasonable gain, are sure guar
antees of immuuiiy from pecuniary troubles, as

of them responded to tho call by forwarding the
required statements, others declined obedience

YVidi regard to the objection on tlio ground of in

has the right to question it, or set up bis judgment
in opposition to it. All owe it obedience. It is
the law of the land. The constitutional power
of the Legislature to enact the law, cannot be
questioned. It cannot be conceded diat, when a
corporation is ouco created, it is placed beyond
the reach of legislation. So for as the charter
constitutes n contract between the Government
and the corporators, tio law can be passed im

party ol whiles, they permitted her tv escape. •-
against the consequences of paper issues upon
fictitious capital. Tho law to which I Inve ad
verted, was inteuded to expose the transactions
of the Bunks, «u fur ur to ascertain whether thuir
operations were based upon a paper or a specie
capital. This was no assault upon dm chartered
righu of any Bank, mid a delicate sensibility to
die credit of stockholders, did not warrant the as
sumption ofa discretion to refure to make such
disclosures as wore considered bv the Legislature
necetuary to guard effectually the community a-
gainst unjustifiable impositions.
Alutiy of dio Banks arc still in a state of suspen
sion ; an evi! which ha* subjected ti;o community
to great losses. Extraordinary privileges have
been granted to those corporations, not for die
purpose of substituting a worse for a better cur
rency, and enabling die proprietors to grow.rtrh
by die operation, but diat tiiey, furnishing a leu
iimvieldly and more convenient medium ol ex
change than the precious metals, convertible into
coin ut die option oi the holder, might receive
and enjoy ulf the benefits resulting from theme
privileges. When, therefore, they permit their
notes to fall below the value ©(specie, they break
their faith with the rojiuntiitity, and violate dio
on the sale of State Scrip, have not
comply with tiieir engagements. These claims
present demands upon y our justice, for winch it
will be necessary to provide.
The systoni of Education through die instru
mentality of Common Schools, as at present ar-
ranged, is fur from answering die purpose intend
ed by its projectors, ^’ho fund to bu distributed
is so small in proportion to die number of chil
dren entitled to share it under the existing laws,
thut none cun derive any substantial benefit from
it. It is impossible for die State, wilh its limited
means, reduced as they are by the mabapnropria-
tiou of the tuxes, to afford cratqitouuly the blessing
of education to every cltild within her boundary.
I Would therefore recoinmcud that die laws on
dtis subject be revised, and that the children of
such pareuts only, as aro unablo to educate them,
be embraced within their provisions. Our politi
cal institutions being based upon an eulightened
view of the rights of man, cannot bo supported
but by die virtue and intelligence of the people.
These should be tinrtured and fostered by the
State, and die door,of instruction should be open
ed to die humblest child of poverty. Every citi
zen then, by proper industry aiid application,
might require such a knowledge of the history of
his Government, itq true policy, and die tendency
of its measures, as jvoulu enable him to detect the
umchinatinus of dm corrupt politician, and to dis
tinguish properly between die mad pegeuntr y
low appeals of the demagogue, and me lofty
principle-sustained arguments of dio patriot.
The Preamble nnd Resolutions adopted by the
last General Assembly, instructing our Benatora

to have the Act of Congress respecting fugitive*
from justice, to carry into effect teat section of the
Constitution of die United States which relates
to the same subject, so amended as to require its
execution by officers of the GenoralGovernment,
and atneuablo to its authority, were fimvarded in

In December lost, die wholo of die grading of
the Western and Atlantic Rail Road from Cross
Plains to Ross' landing, with a small exception
which has been since let, was put under contract.
The confidence of our citizens in the credit of the
Slate, relieved the Commissioners fro;n the em
barrassments in which the meagre demand for
State Stocks in foreign markets find placed them,
nnd saved to tbe State tlio trouble, expense and
loss attending die sales of bonds to distant capi
talists. There contracts, puyable in baud* re
deemable in thirty years, iutcrestaleixper cent,
payable semi annually, were taken ut au uviragi
rate much loyrer tiian diose previously let to be
met with cash, which manifests bow highly die
mtizens of Georgia estimate her credit, while it
is so lightly appreciated abroad. The grading of
diisRoudtias reached diat point in its progress
to completion, diat longer delay pn the purchaso
of iron will result in a public loss. The work al
ready done is exposed to continual injuries from

at great expense. The Commissioners not be

Congress failed, at its late session, though one
of extraordinary length, to appropriate money to
pay the Stale of Georgia her cluitn against the
Government for disbursements to tlm Militia for
services, subsistence, and losses. The attention
of Congress was not called to thesubject, until the
Session was considerably advanced. It is to be
hoped dial those who represent the interest: of
their State in that body at the approaching ses-
will urge its consideration utan early day.

disposition towards it, and all that irviecessary -

I lay before the Legislature, the address and
resolutions of a Convention held in Juno last, in
die British Metropolis, of an extraordinary char
acter. The tone of denunciation used in tiieso
proceedings, proclaim the madly funntical spirit
thut dictated them, aud fully demonstate the liitul
extremeties to which a false philanthropy may
i nip el its votaries. Tho suggestion of any mea
sure to tho General or State Governments of this
Union, whether constitutional or not, by the sub
jects ol forugn powers, is an impertinence not
to be endured; but an offer to dictate an unconsti
tutional policy subversive of the authority
of .the States, violative of individual
rights, and endangering the peace of any mem
ber oftho confederacy, is an injury that should
be feltby every American citizen, and the na
tions, whose subjects are thus offending, should
be required to bring them to condign punish
ment. Tbe history of this conveution proves, I
regret to say, that citizens owing allegiance to
the Government of the United States: hound to
its support by &U the obligations of honor, duty,
patriotism, and religion; enjoying the blesshigs
which flow from a Constitution, ordained and es
tablished to ensure domestic tranquility, have
joined die unholy combination against an institu
tion recognised by dial instrument. A member
of tlio Congress of the United States has made
hiraselfuccfssary to thiswonton aggression upou

I lay before you tho Report of the Commis
sioners of the Oconee Navigation.
The law establishing an independent treasury,
wns passed hy Congress at its late session, by
which tho government hns taken into its own
hands die management of its liscui concerns.—•
This measure, recommended hy the unwurraut-
ablo issues of the banks which Imd been constitu
ted the depositories ofthe public funds—the heavy
losses sustained by the nml management of these
Institutions—their profligate waste without res
ponsibility, and tiiu heavy duties necessary to sup
ply the deficiency will, when its practical effects
are felt and semi, receive tho general approbation,
It wrests from die hands oftho Executive all Hit
intention to discontinue it, after tho consumption
of die bolattce of the fund, and if bp discharged
the duties boyond the tinte at which the sum sot
apart for that special object should be expended,
he must rely lor compensation on the estimate
placed by the Legislature on the necessity and
value of hi* services. K in your opinion, the
public interest requires the ft.rdicr prosecution
of this survey, an appropriation must bo made to
defray its expenses. I would recommend that
payment be made for what has been done. The
Fourth Annual Report of that officer is now com
municated, from which It will bo soon dial dis
coveries have been mado in some counties
valuable to the interests of agriculture.
I recommend to you a revision of the law for
the government of the Militia. From the want
of u proper organization iindor tlio*existingsys-
tom, it is impossible to bring a force, however
small, into tho field, .without great difficulty, when
itjis necessary to resort to a draft. Orders cannot
be executed but through officers; and in counties,
iu which a draft was recently ordered to fill a'
requisition under the authority of the General
Government for a single compauy, there was
scarcely n company to bo found properly or
ganized. Much delay was occasioned by tiiis
cause; but after die draft was completed, new
fiinbnrassmetita were thrown in die way by the
unwarrantable interference of evil disposed per
sons, who advised tliumun not to yield obedience
to a call made by die authority of the laws. The
exertion of so wicked au influence should be
made the subject of dm severe retribution which
it merits. Ids calculated to ensnare the innocent;
for he who ignorandy heeds the unfortunate coun
sel, is subjected to a puniihuieut from which it is
impossible, in the rigor ofmilitary law, to escape.
Cases may be imagined in wliich die safety ofa
whole community might be endangered.
The October Report of tho Bank of Ruckers-
vilio is transmitted to you. The Semi-annual
Reports of the other Banks that have been re
