By His Excellency JAMES JACKSON,

a proclamation,
WHEREAS I have received information from the

grbes or people of color are fttipped off from Port au Prince;
in the Weft Indies, for the ports of South Carolina and
Georgia, and many of them are Onboard veflelk bound di
re&fy to Savamiah: AND WHEREAS jpolicy di&ates
that persons of color, nfed to the horrid feenes of mafl&cre
which of iate years have been sq barbarously pra&ifed in
the Weft Indies, witliout relpedl to age or sex, ftiould be
prevented from edniing within the limits of this state, to
diffufe their seditious and cruel tenets, and the aft entitled,
“ An A<£t to Organize the Militia in the several New
Counties of this State,” makes it the duty of the Officers
of Militia in the firft Brigade of the firft Division, in fheir
refpe&ivd diftridb, to apprehertd any Negro, Muftee, Mu
latto freeman or freemen, Have or slaves, who (hall here
after arrive in any port of this state frotn the Weft India

sons to be exported at the expehce of the importer or own
er, Who are alio made liable for the expence of apprehending
them: Taking the fame therefore, ami the fitnation of the
prelent state of public affairs, and our local concerns* into
my moft serious deliberation, I HAVE THOUGHT
FIT to ilfue this my proclamation, hereby charging and
requiring all Officers, Civil and Military, to be active ahd
vigilant, witliin their refpeftive diftrifts, in preventing and
opposing any of the people of color, deferibed by the afore
faid law, passed the twenty-second day of February, one

any port Or place within- this fluty; and in case of-.fuc.fi
that the Militia- of the district where filch landing
may be, and those of any other diftriA into which such
persons may come, do immediately pursue and apprehend
them, and all Os them, in order that they may be exported
agreeably to law: And I further charge and require the
.different Magistrates of r diftriAs, and Captains of compa
nies, to be vigilant and a&ive in having’ tlie Patrol Law
fully enforced, without any excuse whatever, as they will
anlwef the contrary at their peril: And I call on all clalTes
of citizens to come forward with cheerfulnefs and perform
those duties which the fitnation of public and domeftlc af
fairs requires of them: And I also further charge and require
i, all Officers, Civil and Military, to be Vigilant in appre
hending and exporting all and every other Negro, Muftee,
