4 ‘ FEDERAL ram Uncut tlint incumbrance.” And again he says, “no doubt is entertained of the right to survey the entire Ciicrokee Territory, if such measure shall l#e considered expedient.” Now, the meaning of all this is neither more or less than a full acknowledge ment of our right to survey and accupy the whole territory. But the gold mines are not to be distri buted among the people, they are to be leased out to.be more profitably worked for the State. This is the policy of Governor Gilmer and his friends, and the mines are to be reserved if they have the power to reserve them. From the foregoing extracts one would naturally conclude, that the Governor was in favor of an entire survey, but read the concluding sentence of the paragraph and you will find him breaking out. It concludes as follows: “ft is also due to our own character that we should have a jealous care, lest we press the necessity of taking possession of the minerals in the Indian lands be yond what the public interest, the preservation and .use of public property, and the enforcement of our laws may require.—Even the measure of survey ing the Cherokee Territory, however necessary lor the proper administration of the laws, securing the public property from trespass, and protecting the Indians is, on account of the sensitive ferlings cf themselves. If they consider themselves, as Gov ernor Gilmer considers them, unwprthv to be trust ed with a little wealth, let (hem support him, let them consent to have the gold mines reserved, and thereby save themselves lrom corruption. But, if (lie people of Georgia are what I lake them to fo’, a bold, honest, enlightened, & virtuous people, they will abandon Governor Gilmer and Ins doctrines, .and sustain their own. But apart lrom the forego- ing arguments upon the subject, the country might j well have supposed that the legislation of Georgia j had settled this question forever.—Particularly as l the last act upon the subject was passed since Goy- J ernor Gilmer came into office and bears his official j signature. On the 24th of December, 1825. in consequence of the prevailing opinion (hat the pre cious metals existed in large quantities in t]ie coun try then recently obtained from the Creek Indians, an act was passed from which I extract the first and second sections, 1st “That all grants, titles, or deeds whatsoever, to be hereaffer issued by this State to any person or persons, partnership, or cor poration, shall bear upon the face of the same a reservation to the State of all mines, ores, minerals, and quarries of gold, silver, lead, or copper* which federal union.

In the foregoing part of the par agraph he tells the Legislature that they were call ed together to adopt means for the protection of the gold mines,—that they must lie protected, and that it can not be done effectually without a sur vey, that the State possesses the right to survey have or hereafter may be discovered upon any land or lands, which now do or hereafter may b< the property of Georgia, and upon the discovery, of anyone or more of them shall revert accordingly” 2d “That no person or persons whatsoever shall conceal, remove, or carry away, or work any ore, mineral, mine, or metal of gold, silver, lead, or cop per found upon or in any lands winch now are or may hereafter be the property of Georgia; and any person or persons so pile tiding shall, upon convic- of the same before any court having competent jurisdiction thereof, be imprisoned in the peniten tiary lor a term not less than lour nor more than six years, and he further liable for damages to double OCTOBER ELECTION.

It can not l>e necessary to dwell upon the injustice of re leasing the right of the State to the gold mines in carroll and elsewhere aft:r their existence was known, and to reserve the mines in the Cherokee country. But a word or two upon the subject of an immediate survey and occupancy of the Chero kee lands. To such survey and occupancy it is well known the Governor was opposed at the last session, and if flic writer is well informed, his op position continues. It is not considered necessary to argue the^questian of right, inasmuch as Mr. Gil mer admits it, nor to go generally into the question of expediency. Let us confine, ourselves to the single question of jurisdiction, and ask how, and in the Cher- present state of Gilmer re tain the administration of the government? The jurisdiction of the State now exercised in that coun try is altogether anomalous and inconsistent with the general principles of her government. It is as essentially military as if the country belonged to the autocrat of all the Russias, and how long it shall continue, must be determined by the question of survey and distribution. If that question shall be settled affirmatively by the next legislature, the ordinary civil jurisdiction of the State will be ex tended ns quietly over the Checrokee$ as it exists in the oldest parts ofit.

Strange and inconsistent'as it is, the thing is nevertheless true, as i will presently shew by further extracts from ibe message.

The last measure"of Governor Gilmer’s admin istration which I propose to discuss is his support of the Penitentiary system.

LUMPKIN—Wc stated some weeks ago, as among the remarkable events of the day, that the enemies of this uniform republican had not been able to bring a single specific charge against him. Since that time, our neighbours have tortured their ingenuity to find something like objections. The Journal has been driven back, a period of twenty- five years, to discover that Mr. Lumpkin, very ear ly in liis political fife, had, on one occasion, voted for large reserves, and fora tax of 10 to 12 1-2 cts. per acre on certain rich lands. Our neighbor could not have reflected on the weakness ofthis attack; for by liis own shewing, the State was then in debt. The seat of Government had recently been chang ed from Louisville to Milledgeville. The State had incurred great expense in erecting the public build ings, and other expenses consequent upon the re moval. It was to pay these heavy debts, no doubt, Mr. Lumpldn co-operated with certain gentlemen in the Legislature, including many of the political friends of the Journal, in sustaining the policy of this tax for the purpose of paying the public debt. This was the express objeet of the proposition made hy Mr. Hall, and sustained by Mr. Lumpkin.
