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 u paid In. mid when tinted ns can bo wade m ... tho redemption which it Was negotiated Evi , is Interested in tho iteilntenniico ol ronoV, and this grant end cannot b , .. 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 itself againsftha notes in circulation, and agaius the re-issuing of those that have been redeemed.

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.

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..

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.

Upon die receipt of their April Reports, I addressed a letter to the officers of tho*e Banks whose Reports did not conform to die law, calling their attention to tiiis statute, nml inviting a compliance with iu requisitions. Somo of them responded to tho call by forwarding the required statements, others declined obedience to tho law, assigning reason* for it, and a few dis regarded altogether die communication address ed to them.

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 pairing iu obligation; but it mav be punished for a perversion »/ fraudulent use of any ot its pri vileges.

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 in Congress, aud requesting our Representatives 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 duo season to our Senators and Representatives. They were presented by .the Senators, but dio Representatives declined laying diem before the House, and assigned j&air^ reasons iiL In tiers ad- dressed to uie, copies of winch, andalso my reply, are herewith communicated. 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 rain and other casualties, which must be repaired at great expense. The Commissioners not be lieving diat iron could be purchased with tho meuns a t their comiliaud except at a sacrifice not Ibr it spirit, and in some instance* die letter ofdicgrunt under wliich tiiey extfrawe their functions. This is perhaps a c ft cannot be entirely will be necessary for you to prescribe the rules under which this humane Institution shall go into operation, and provide for it a Physician and the necessary Superintendents. 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. Secretary at YVorhns manifested a friendly disposition towards it, and all that irviecessary - insure iu payment, is die auUiorily of law. 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 tlio Constitution, by sending to this Department, in a packet bearing his frank, one of the papers now communicated.

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.
