By order ol Major General Meade -11. C. Drum, marffij—te Assistant Adj't Gen'!. TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA. Having been unanimously nominated for the office of Governor, by a Convention fully representing a large majority of the voters of the State, I do not feel at liberty to disre gard their wishes by refusing to accept the great honor thus conferred. My only desire is to be of service to the whole people of our great State, with whom my lot has been so long and so pleasantly cast, in building up her waste places and in reviving her prostrated, industrial and com mercial system, under the benign influence of a civil government, in which all her citi zens may participate. To the consummation of this object my every effort shall be devoted. The Constitution adopted by the late Con vention is before you. It wns my privilege to aid in the formation of that instrument, and thus to become familiar with not only the letter of this fundamental law, but also with the spirit and the intentions of those who framed|it. My votes are recorded upon all its various branches, and it is therefore unnecessary for me to enter into any state inent of my political principles, other than to say that I s , and fully committed to the new Constitution, and have an earnest desire to vitalize those great measures—the “Relief"and the “Homestead”—and thus enable our ruined people to take courage for the future, with a full assurance that the results of their labor shall be enjoyed by themselves and their families. It will be the duty of the General Assem bly to provide a thorough system of educa tion for the State. If called by your votes to assume the exalted position of your Chief Executive, it will be my duty, and no le3s a pleasure, to nominate to the Senate, for confirmation, persons whose pas't services, well established character and ability, have secured for them selves the confidence of their fellow citizens in their respective districts, and whose fit ness, by reason of their known intelligence and moral worth, for the positions to which they may bo recommended, will ensure their confirmation by the representatives of the people. “With malice toward none, with charity for all,” looking only to the glory, peace, and prosperity of our noble State, and the perpe tuity of free, civil government throughout the land, I have the honor to be your fellow citizen, R, 11.
