oi the Legislature is given in <

tant however, are in j

we are not prepared to speak;
j but being compiled by two gen-1
j tiemen ol eminent talents, we pre- \

ive. • V' ’ ; J
Most of the important subjects
recommended by the Governor
have been referred to different
committees, and will be acted on
in due time. It is hoped the pre
sent Legislature will perpetuate
its wisdom, and give a solid evi-;
dense of its munificence, by en
couraging education, opening the
navigable rivets of the state, and
improving our public toads. A
| more favorable opportunity, for
j accomplishing these beneficieiit
! purposes, may never offer. We
j are at peace, and our means are -
i ample. Immense sums are due |
the state for fractions and Mil
ledgeville lots—the national gov
ernment is largely indebted to us
—our bank stock will soon yield
a handsome revehue—and our
late acquisition of territory, poor
as it is. will contribute some
thing. Besides who in the pres
ent prosperous times would not
pay a small tax to have good roads
and navigable rivers—to raise
from obscurity, indigence and
want, by educating them, thCj
thousands of children on whose (
bit tli fortune has unfeelingly j
frowned? If knowledge be the*
basis of our social edifice—if it
be the inseparable companion of
freedom, and ©Lyery the necessa
ry A
‘establishment of schools for the.
poor, is of the first importance th
! a government like ours. Other
; states are endeavoring to improve
their internal and social condition.
