Gov. Brown’s Veto Message.
Executive Department, >
MiLi.Eixitvii.i.E, Dec. 7th, 1857. J
To the House of Representatives :
1 herewith return to the House in which it orig
inated, a joint resolution requesting me forthwith
to pardon and discharge two letnaie convicts now
in the penitentiary of litis State, one convicted ol
riot, and the other of manslaughter. Wheiher the
General Assembly have examined the evidence anu
lac s connected with these convictions, or whethei
they are willing to vote tor the pardon without any
regard to the circumstances of aggravation attend
ing the transactions, I am not informed.
My opinion is that the pardoning power should
not be indiscriminately exercised, but that the best
interest of the State requires that it be done pru
dently and cautiously, tn the exerc se of a sound
judgment after a thorough investigation of the
whole case. I think ii has often been abased bv its
too hasty and inconsiderate exercise. When the
pardoning power is exercised upon every applica
tion almost as a matter ol course, the law ceases to
be what it is intended to be, a terror to evil doers.
Let it be remembered that the mercy to the crimi
nal which turns loose every outlaw who applies, is
not that mercy to the community which protects
its interest prevents the commission of crime, and
preserves our land from the stain ofinnocent blood.
Those who possess the pardoning power should
not be governed by a false sympathy, lest in ihe
in their attempt to mitigate the sufferings of the
guilty, they greatly exercise the sufferings of the
innocent.
By the seventh section of the second article ol
the Constitution of Georgia, it is provided that the
Governor shall have power to grant reprieves for
offence against the State, except in cases of im
peachment, and to grant pardons, or to remit any
part of a sentence, in all cases alter conviction, ex
cept for treason or murder, in which case he may
respite the execution and make report thereof to
the next General Assembly, by w horn a pardon mat
be granted. ‘This section ol the Constitution only
manes the duty of ihe legislature to act in cases ol
treason or murder.
While I have at all times great respect for the re
commendations ol the General assembly, and while
I recognize to the fullest extent the right of each
individual im tuber of either house, to petition for
the pardon of any con vie in the p nitemiarv lean
but regard the precedent set by this attempted leg
islative interference as a very bad one. By virtue
ot ihe above provision of the Constitution, it is
cleaiiy th' 1 duty of the Governor, upon application,
to examine the evidence and circumstances in the
case, and in the exercise of a sound discretion, to
pardon or refuse to pardon the convict, and lie alone
is responsible lor the correctness of Ins conclusions.
The two branches of the legislature, without giving
any reason why the punishment in these cases i>
noi just, bt their resolution asking that these con
‘iets he pardoned, have kirn 1. consen ed to divide
with the Governor the responsibi ity wnich the
Constitution h is de.volvt and tijon him al ne.
Should your kindness be accepted and tour res
olutions pass into a precedent, others of like char
acter asking the pardon of male as well as female
convcs, would doubtless be presented. I am in
formed that one resolution of like character asking
the pardon ofa male convict has already been in
troduced into the Senate, and releired to a com
mittee. Sue i resolutions may be frequently intro
duced and may become the subject ol lengthy dis
cussions, in which much of the time ol the legisla
ture may be wasted and great expense incurred, in
the examination of the tacts, and the investigation
of the evidence, upon which convicts are detained,
as such an investigation would certainly be neces
sary, before any member of the legislature ought to
feel content lo vote upon such a resolution. Asa
genera! rule, in my opinion, it would be better to
leave all these cases where the Courts and Juries
have left them.
There are tew oxcepred cases, and for the pur
pose of finding them out, it is often necessary to
investigate the evidence and the circumstances of
the trial. The Constitution ha- assigned the duly
of thefjinvestigation lo the Executive Depart
ment of the government without dividing ihe
responsibility with the General Assembly, and
as it would greatly lengthen the sessions and con
sume much of the time of the legislature which
could be as well employed in the consideration of
such matters as the Constitution has confided to
that of the government, I would respecifully sug
gest that it might be better for each department of
the government to be content to confine itself with
in the sphere of action assigned it by the Consti
tution.
I therefore withhold my sanction from the joint
resolution of the two houses.

Arizonia. —This is the name now given to what
used to be know n as the Messilla Valley ot Gads
den purchase. It includes a tract of country em
bracing about 27,000 square miles. It is interpo
sed between New Mexico on the north, and the
Mexican provinces of Sonora and Chihuahua on
the south, and extends westward to the Colorado
river. An esteemed friend—an officer in the army
who has been stationed in the neighborhood of ttie
Territory, and h is repeatedly traversed laige por
tions of it, assures us that it abounds in the pre
cious metals—gold, silver, and copper—has many
spots of fertile soil, is admirably adapted to the
propagation of all kinds of fruit, and especially the
grape, and possesses an atmosphere, which to use
his own words, “it is a physical delight to breathe.”
Colorado city, opposite Yuma, is at the junction ol
the Gila and Colorado, and at the present head of
navigation on the latter river. It is already a place
of trading importance because it is at ihe only con
venient and secure crossing place. Population is
rapidly flowing into this new Tenitory. The mi
,ning companies last year consumed over SIOO,OOO
worth of goods shipped from San Francisco alone,
and landed at the mouth of the Colorado. A week
never passes without the sailing of vessels from
California to the Colorado. They ought to have
ample military protection now. An application
will be made to the pieseut Congress to have a Ter
ritorial government organiz* and, and there is little
doubt it will be and ought to be.—N’t. Louis
