and all so quiet in the kitchen Mrs, D. '

“Why bress you Ise bin trying for

Geaileineu. of the General Assembly:
I appear in this presence to-day, in
obedience to the Constitution and laws,
to take the oath of office and assume
the duties of Governor of Georgia.—
I come in response Iq the call of the
people of my native State—a people
who, having been scourged with lire
and sword, Have had their patience
still m-re sdreiy tried by want of in
tegrity in office, and by corruption in
high places. But after a long and
cheerless night of misrule, let us unite
in indulging the hope that a brighter
day, bringing with it peace, happiness
and prosperity to pur stricken people,-
is already dawning npon our beloved
State.
The duties requiredJiy .the. Consti-;
fcution and laws, of the Chief Magis
trate of the State, are plainly indica
ted by the oath of his .office. He
swears to execute faithfully the office
of Governor, and to preserve, protect
aud defend the Constitution oi the
State and of the United gtates.—
When he takes this oath he pledges
his sacred honor before Almighty God,
and the assembled people who have
Conferred upon him the highest office
in their gift, that he will honestly and
faithfully execute' the- duties oi that
office, and that lie will, to the best of
his ability, maintain tne fundamental
laws of the land. How can these great
duties best be met' and discharged.
The answer to this question is easily
made; but how diiiicuit tlie perform
ance of tiie duties here set forth.
All civil government should have
for its object the preservation of the
rights' of the persons aiid property oi
tlie people; aiid. it is the first and high
est- duty of governments, by wise and
wholesome legislation, to provide .se
curity for these, sacred rights. But
the mere enactment of proper laws is
uot sufficient for the-, accomplishment
otltiie object indicated. Unless there
is a strict- and faithful enforcement of
die laws, society must be without that
ieehng of sectuity upon .which the
prosperity and/happiness of the peo-
ple depend. The Honor of the Btute,
well as the interest of the citizens,
demand that laws.passed for the good
p. society, shouid. be promptly and
