This exposition of tho law by the Executive of the United Slates will sattsiy you of the expediency of depending on your own lueasures-for defence agetost fbe re petition of such outrages. The-Governor of. Ueqygia denies the right of (be President to excuse or justify bis officer iu the violation of a law of the United Slates which be is bound tn execute, because of any act or supposed act of ilia Governor which is in violation of no law. The President by such excuse or justification take* the.placc of the Agent, and when in one of his authori sed communications he says, “there is no part of his duty which the President .more anxiously pursues tbsn that of maintaining the most scrupulous decuruin in his official inter course with the state authorities, a line of con duct from which no circumstances bower- er aggravated, have ur wilt tempt him to de part," he only means that what he does not choose to do by himself, be will do by bis Agent. . The published addresses of the different Agents are submitted with the rest only to shew the unity of feeling,, sentiment and ac tion which hqs signalized the department of United Slates officers of every grade io their iiiferco'irse with the Government of Georgia. It cai\be submitted to on longer—the eove- reignlv, independence and dignity of Stic State must be maintained, and to support them you must depend on your own means. I advise you therefore, tobave recourse to those means, no matter whom you' place in authority, all strangers must be compelled to respect in then- exterior demeanour at least, those authorities. The sacredoess of the elective franchise cap bo prelected by regarding every private peison nut a citizen of. Georgia who interfere-, with that freedom as an alien and stranger, viola ting a right of sovereignty aud exposing him self lo punishment. Is an officer of tbe Uni ted States not being a. citizen of Georgia, lie renders himself (he more obnoyiuus from the doiible'capacily in which be offends that so vereignly, and if an officer representing bis Government m a diplomatic character before tins Government he can be made amenable under tho sanction .of jour own laws, and the laws and usages of nations for ’offeuces —imin.usd ogsii,st sutir.r, aud to thlB end you. have only to define the charracter ol the of fence end to prescribe the puuishmeut. ,, In the expose of the Slate of our relations with the General Government other grievan ces minor and secondary in importance' art adverted.to not for the purpose of accumula ting wrongs into a formidable mass, and ma king an appeal the louder and deeper lo th. justice of that Government, but to satisfy our fellow citizens that i?we have complained in vain, we likve not complained without cause, and that onr cup of bitterness is almost full. The military claims for services rendered thirty- years ago in defence of Ihe State against Indian hostilities, by authority of the General Government, are yet unsatisfied although constantly urged, whilst similar claims of o- therstates, but of more doubtful justice have buen recognized. The claims of our citizens against the Creek nation admitted by tup Treaty of the Indian' Springsofliitl, to tile amount of 250,000 dollars, although rendered fora largeiainount. have been curtailed by arbitrary rules' pro scribed by the United States for tbe settle meutof them to 1-00,000 dollars, by which she places in her own treasury i» defiance of our repealed remonstrances 154.000 dollars, thus depriving the claimants of i benefit to that, arnqunt, which according io every rational construction of thu instrument was intended by all tlie parties to it to mure to them only, and whioli could not by atssf construction be carried lo the credit of the United States— To uuf repeated remumlrances against this decision, it has been anwered, fjiat the dec! sion was made and coulj not be reconsidered Tim Government of Georgia had reason tn expect that the United States would not. re fuse their concurrence and co-operate in tlie running of the line between this State and the Slate of Alabama—III, because they were proprietors of (he soil on one side of it—and 2d. because Georgia was concerned that the presence'aud authority of the United States should be a security to the Indians iiiat their righla should be respected—a security which would save to Georgia the expense of a milita ry force in the prosecution of Ihe work, as the Indian* in -the ahsenof of that security might be excited by evil disposed persons to interrupt its execution. The President in the first in stance signified 'no objection to a co-operation but tbe one founded on a mistake in fact, that Alabama had not given her assent. Subse quently, however, tlie co-operation was de clined, it beihg as was said, a matter in which Georgia and Alabama werq alone concerned, and with which the United States hadliothing to do. More recently, as you are informed, the State has been absolutely forbidden at her peril tb enter her territory tor tbe purpose of running a linn or making a survey of any des cription; the sum of all which Is that .the. Uni ted States claim for themselveetbe power enter upon their territory wherever the- soil and juriadirtion are in them—to settle' there whom they please, and to expel whom they pleats, even et the point of the bayooet, 1>ut deny the same power to Georgia where the seil and jurisdiction -are in her, and forbid her under the pain of military chastisement to run a line or make a survey there. Tbe late correspondence with the. Government Alebama will ahew that we may aeon expect the concurrence of-that State in our resolu tion to run tbe Itoe, and, it is very desirable that no further obstacle abonld be suffered prevent its execution, A request made to. the Executive of the U, States; under authorfffbf a ttMR the legislature to co-operate sritto^Htate in running the dividing line betsfWm end (lie territory of Florida was also refused on the allegation (hat Congrats bad made no prcvl- sioft for such oo-opecalion. A resolution of the Legislature instructing tbe Governor to authorise. the survey of the intermediate country with a view of coonffiit ing by n canal or road, or both, the waters of tltq Gulf amt Atlantic—a wurk of not less importance to thp Union than the connexion <if the two mas by tile isthmue .of Panama, and nf the more easy execution, tits not been carried into effect. The opinion of the Exb- e.titive on this sdbjeet lias been made known tb tlie Legislature. Tlie authorities of Geor gia cannot pass beyond tjieir own limitvintu the territory of any other State or of the U Slates for any such objects without commit ting Iresapats, and -.it is not understood that the must practicable hue uf communication between tlie two waters would fail- wholly within Ihe jurisdiction of Georgia. In truth, tbia is most appropriately a work for the U States, without any constitutional hindrance or impediment; a ihort cut th'ruugh her own soil would accom|;liili it aud tlie wltule Un ion wonld immediately partake the benefits. The attention ofthe President, had been in vited to (his subject before, and whilst lie ac knowledged the great importance of tire work it it not known that any measures have been taken in relation to it. His atten ion was ailed at the same time to the practicability of uniting (lie eastern and western waters by a canal turning the base of the Appalachian mountains at their southern extremity, an operation of more obvious ulilily, because ol less doubtful practicability, than the contem plated one for connecting tlie Chesapeake and Ohio. A promise was given that this al so should receive early consideration, but nothing more has been heard of it» Without bringing into question here the power of Ibe General Government tn make canals at pleas ure within the jurisdiction of tbe States, it wotifd perhaps be more advisable for the State Governments to depend for' internal improvements on their own powers and re sources, and I am happy tu inform you that the state of Tennessee having a common in terest with ourselves, has given unequivocal indications of her willingness to co-operate with us in this undertaking. We haveenu- -tinned assurances that a qivii engineer of competent qualifications may sunn be com manded for the service of tnis Stale. To give you ao outline of the views of Ike Executive on the general subject, I bare caused the in strnctions, which, iu the absence of the Le -gislatiire', would hare been given him, to be laid before you. And here perinit-me to sug gest the policy of applying a portion of tbe fond set apart for Internal Improvement to the construction of roads which shall so tra verse tbe country as to make the communica tion between the different counties and com mercial towns more safe, easy aud expedi tious. Considering climate and localities, it ma< be deemed expedient to invest the capi tal in a description uf labor wliicb under pro per direction would not only be efficient for the accomplishment of the work, but could be ultimately tnado to return to the treasury a large proportion of the amount invested. The annual reports of tbe seVoarl banks have been received, and are submitted— Tliey.all continue to sustain the credit of their paper circulation,-with the exception of (he Bank of Darien, whose currency has de preciated and is depreciating; tlie causes o'f which with the remedy will claim your early and serious investigation- The public inter est demands that the bank should immediate ly resume specie paymeuts, and you can eas ily believe that the teuder by the state of de preciated money to its citizens is not in con formity with right and that tn those of them who are obliged to receive it a positive wrong s dooe. It is sincerely hoped (hat a revision of our militia system will no lunger be delayed.— Vou hear constant testimony to its numerous defects. The single fact that on a late occa sion it became necessary to force an organi zation by coercing under military penalty, private citizens to accept brevets in cases where the companies had failed to elect offi cers, and which by tliecontagibn of example were so multiplying as to threaten a total dis organization. will he alone sufficient to com- maud your serious attention to tins revision It is again recommended to you to estab lish a Court of Errors or Appeals and upon (he principles suggested in my late commu nication to Ihe Legislature. ' Tlie people seem more and moiT disposed to give to this necessary change in our judicial system the sanction of their approbation; and indeed, it is one which sooner or later initBt be adopted with ttic hearty concurrence of the great bo dy of them, as a remedy for evils no longer tolerable; 1 transmit as-a matter of duty, two resolu tions of tbe Legislatures 6f Connecticut and Illinois, received since the late Extra Session, reemrtmeuding to the Congress and to the Stales tlie abuhtiou of slavery, Nothing has transpired lo change my sen timents on a subject to which- more than once it has been my duty lo call your attention— It is my settled conviction, aud the more cqn- fiymed than ever, that neither the other states, nor the Congress have any right to bring that subject into question before them in any form, and that every attempt to do so by either should jje regarded in Ibe same .manner as an attempt tu destroy your sove reignty, of wliicb it is an esseutial part, and that y ou dill have no security for this proper ly against the-efforts which will be made from lime to time to impair its value, ahd e- venlually destroy it, but in tbe equally settled conviction oh the part of tbe assailants that yon will defend is as you would defend your lives. Independent of any precautionary measures which you may deem proper for the permanent safety of this property, every proposition which may tie addressed to yon on the subject, eitbef by the state or the.UnHed States authorities, being unconstitutional on tlie fnce of it, as it cannpt be received other wise that, offensively,and consequently ought not to be received at all, should be returned to tbe authorities from which it emanated. The various resolutions ofthe Legislature to be carried into effect by the Executive power, are either already executed, or in a course of execution, " -It is gratifying to observe the mnltiplica- tinn of institutions for tbe iDstruclioii of youth in every quarter of the'state, foqnded either by public or private contribution, ahd cher- ished-by na ardent feeling in the cause of mental improvement with which every claas of the community eeenia to be animated. Franklin College, in tn onward course of prosperity, with * well organised, hot not numerous faculty, possessing the requisite capability, tnd giving to their usefulness the more extension by en harmonious concert of action, see* with pride her alumni already reflecting honor on her, from tho various pursuits and occupation* of life from tbe learned professions end the legislative hell, tnfl oon M^HJ|REiielto wjfl receive at all (iratp, seVMeterve*, the patronage of the Legislalare. The county academies increase in number and respectability, and sustained every where by the public favor, tltey-eanont fail, with liberal endowments from the Legislature to flourish universally. The poor achonl fund hat been eagetly souglll by all the Counties, but whether be neficially applied ih all, is doubtful. In re viewing this part ofthe system, you will do woll to adopt sucb general' regulations of a permanent character, as can be accommo dated under * good adminiitration of them to the local circumatanoes of county. The provision which enquires the trustees who render service without compensation, to give bond and security, will perhaps be found totnx public spirit too heavily, and may in soma instances defeat the execution of the law. ' In onr lamented differences with the Uoi-. ted States, the constituted authorities of Georgia have benn ungenerously reviled.- -Sentiments and feelings have been adapted ibr them lo which tlioir hearts and under- srandings are strangers. The char, oof hoi ulily to the U>t ion is indignantly repelled— Georgia is not behind the foremost of her sisters in devotion to the .Union—She is la boring at this moment to cement and perpe tuate that Union, by bringing it back tothe irinciples ofthe constitution,—We mean a Union uf definite signification—a constitu tional Union for all constitutional objects— A Union for safety, for security of life, lib erty end property—A Union to entorce the powers of the Genet al Government, as well as to proleqt and defend the rights and pow era of the states. A Union which means something, amt which we love audcjterish as a^ blessing. But the Union which iscansirtt- ed to mean any thing or every thing—a (in ion for absorption and consolidation, which would prescribe no limits to (he power* of one government, but tlie general welfare,and which would reduce Ihe powers of all Ihe rest to a shadow ofUovereignty, whioh claims su premacy and exacts obedience—which con strues the constituting for itself and issues its mandates to, the states, backed by the purse and swurd—which threatens to decide for us what isyroperty and wlrnt js not property,aml whether jve shall hold any property of a cer tain kind or not—which seudB its officers and agents to insult aod defy the public fumv<m aries ot the slates, as if they .were suhatti.ru in rank and consequence to themselves.— Soqba union is not tbe union adopted by the slates, .and it is believed is not such a one as the states wilt support. The Chief Magi: (rate especially disclaims any other motive as thegoverning one of his conduct, Ilian the sincerest attachment nf the Union, without tincture of prejudice against the persons who compuse tbe councils of tho U. States, but ou the contrary with tfie strongest predispo sitinus to give every aid and support to those coune.il tn promote the peace, interest and happiness ofthe nation- It is asserted. witlioiU fear of Contradiction, that since,Georgi-.k was a party to the Devo lution the confederacy or tha Union, she lias fulfilled with sinceritrand fidelity all tier obli gations and engagements. In peace and in war, under whatever adminstration, not mere ly auswering with promptness to every re quisition, hut according to Iter means sustain ing that government with as much vigor and patriotism as apy of her sisters—as little qoe- reloUSBs any of them—more complying than most of them, and nevor bringing into question the constitutionality of its ordinances or de crees, but when from the honest impulses of her heart, and the strongest convictions of her judgment she has believed them uncon stitutional. If opposed to to any particular administration has been aa opposition of frankness and firmness, and if with'these cha racteristics always honorable, she has at any limes mixed a spice of indignation, it may well liave been pardoned by the bead and members of a family who cannot themselves claim exemption from the frailties of our na ture, and who when your honor and principle were at stake might have seen a color ol virtue in a momentary departure Tram meek ness. humility and patience.. But Georgin can still contend that in respeot to all quese tionsiif mere interest, to which her connexioh with the Union mey have given rise, site has discovered as little of selfishness, as mnet of.generosily and of forgiveness as could be expected from a sovereign and iudependen. State claiming rights of property of great va lue demanded by the wants of her citizens indispensable to the complete organization of her social system. Georgia has not demanded justice of the Federal Government in hor day of tribula tion, of difficulty and of embarrassment, in war, or in the midst of divided councils, but at a moment when with an ample treasury, at peace witli all nations, and prosperous beyond example, ahe had her option to do us .ustice, or refusing it, to present a military chest end armed men.—If the U. Slates choose to rely on these and Georgia taking cpuncil of her fears shall make an inglori ous surrender of her rights, what will re main ofthe fruit ofher toil and blood and public virtue, but-.a consolidated govern ment, in which the sovereignly and indepen dence of the States beiug merged, nothing is left, her but the power of a municipal cor poration to settle the strifes anil contentions of individuals within the freedom of it.

It details in tbe energetic lanRuage of Oove'rnoiffTroup, the injuries of wliicb the state of Georgia has to cbmpltiio against tbs General Government, and maintains ably. and conclusively the grounds previously tsk* cn by him, whilst no part of the great intnre'ti of the state, which it is his duty to preside over, are omitted to be brought betore the body to wliicb it is addressed. The result of the election of President of the Senate, it is believed, shews the stats nf parties in that body. In (he House, sb though the successful candidate was sup ported by the Clark party, tho majority is not large between the two parties as it tronli sedm to indicate. There is no doubt, how ever, that they Dave a majority; and, io th# elections which are shortly to take place, ap pear determined to exercise the power plttc'd in their hands, by electing their supporters- Much depends upon the course they will pnr- sue, in the attainment of tho demands of tbe State of Georgia, and in securing respect bt fier character and feelings. The time of the election of Judges, At* has not yejr arrived, and it is uncertain when it will take place. The vote* for Governor will probably be counted out to-morrow. Tbe following resolution# were yestordtf introduced by General Harden, and two hun dred copies ordered to be printed:— Resulted, by the Senate tnd House of Re presentative* of the State nf Georgia, i* Gen eral Assembly met— That the. situation in which Georgia fi»« herself, in regard to tbe United States is paif ftilly felt and seriously regretted. • That the end. for which the Constitute* of the U.
