Prom an examination of these claims'll appear* that
certain accounts were paid by the authorities of tha

According to the report of tho Principal Keeper of the
Penitentiary, the condition of that institution isprosper
ous. Under his skilful management it has produced a
nett income of $9,987 83 present year. Whatever may
have been heretofore the lmge and unrequited oullavs
of money on arcount of this institution, thereby making
it a distasteful burthen on the | cople, tho problem is now
solved that convict labor may be nj applied as to remu
nerate the public TidMiry nud sutislv that active phi-
Imithroplty which looked ’to guilt and its atonements—
that preserved life and reformed the offender. The ex
ercise of ibepardoning power,according loan Execu
tive erder of las!year, it is believed, has acted benefici
ally on their conduct hy stimulating the hope of the
convicts. The worst of nil calamities is when a man
despairs of himself.
The trades pursued in the institution are not intended
meteiially to interfere with tlie regular and honest me
chanics ’ The principal pursuit is the making and work
ing feather in most of its fonnsof use. These fabrics
do not supply one fitlieih part of the consumption of the
State.
An appropriation of n small etrount is recommended,
so n3 10 cover any demands when the fabrics of ibe in
stitution may not he available, bur with the condition
that the same be replaced in the Treasury within the
space of twelve months niter the same shall have been
drawn. Also, that authority he given to employ uiaster-
workmen as overseers, nt a price exceeding the present
limits, and the salaries o! some ol the principal officer**
of the institution lie increased.
Iii tin* revision of nn net of the Inst Legislature author
izing tlie cicaiion of ccihiiu corporations, defining their
rights and privileges and providing a mode for changing
the names of individuals, some embarrassment was felt
in consequence of the action of my immediate
predecessor on the subject. In the year J7S9 nn
ucl was passed, and it is believed to be now in force,
whereby the Executive was vested with authority to in
corporate churches, limiting bis power to grant only such
charters as were similar to those conferred on the two
churches designated in ilia act. in tho mean lime re-
peated legislation has occurred in relation to the delega
tion of tlio appointing power to certain ofiiccs, which in
the early period of the government had been exclusive
ly exercised'by the Legislature. It is to be noticed that
in most instances when this power has been transferred
by and from the Legislature, the Judiciary in some of
its branches, has been made iba depository. In the ex
ercise of this delegated power it is thought that no case
bos arisen in which its constitutional competence over
the flnl jm t has heeii seriously doubtfdornuthoritalively
denied. In 1811 the Legislature conferred upoutheSu-
perior Courts of this 3tute authority to change the
names of individuals. In accordance with these pre
cedents I sanctioned the hill of the fast Legislature, and
now recommend that its provisions may be so altered,
that the right belong exclusively to the Superior Courts.
On the eve of the adjournment of the last Legislature
several bills were presented for my approval, which
were iu my opinion defective na to their captions or im
perfect as to meaning, (donbtlrss the result of engross
ing,) or irregular as to the periods when rend in both
branches of the General Assembly. Otherwise they
presented no objection, and arc herewith returned to tlie
respective branches of the Legislature iu which they
originated.
The several resolutions of the Inst Legis!atu rc which
imposed duties on this Deportment, have bce n carried
into eflect or arc in progress of fulfilment. I D several
cases the required services have I»ecn perfo nne< j t but
which have not been compensated on the ground that
money cannot be appropriated by resolution. These will
require tegisfslive attention.
A change of pNn in the education of the indigent deaf
and dumb of llio .State was contemplated by resolution
of the last Legislature. The commissioner of theStalo
for that unfortunate class, has reported favorably lo the
Cedar Valley Academy, in Paulding county. His report
on this subject, with accompanying documents, are in
this Department subject to the comm-ml of the Legis-
IrttUIC.
Severn! reports of public officers nre herewith sub
mitted, as well as nb-tracts of the Executive warrants
drawn during the fiscal year just terminated.
The Arsenal cn the Cnpitnl Square is not well adapted
lo the purpose for which it was constructed, and is inse
cure by reason of its decaying condition. It should be
removed to some spot near the Penitentiary, rebuilt on
«n economical plan, and place*! under the euard of that
institution. In that event the office of Military Store
Keeper at (his place mar be abolished. The powder In
the magazines of the State has become useless from
age. 1 recommend that a fresh supply may be pur
chased.
A number of resolutions from diflerent States of the
Union have been forwarded lo this Department, copies
of w liich nre herewith transmitted. I cannot fail to re
mark in relation to those pertaining to liie controversy
between Massachusetts and South Carolina and Louisi
ana. that the two hitter States nrc defending their own
reserved nud sovereign rights—that their cause ia oar
cause, nud their destiny our destiny. They descive our
sympathy and should 'have our aid.

The Capitol.
We have all sorts of rumors froni Milledgc-
ville. The Whigs arc in a glorious state of
disorder—they held several meetings during tho
week to calm down ihe perturbed spirits among
them—will) what success, time alone can show*
Out of such a chaos it is impossible to form any
opinion as to the election of Senator, Judges,
Solicitors, State House Officers, &c. We
trust, however, that our majority in the Senate
will not yield in any event to what might be re
garded under the circumstances as a raomenta-
y surrender of their principles. The offering
the whigs have made is not sufficient—they
have only thrown ofl the skin; the spots are
still left. When they cast them off. but not till
thin, can we forget or forgive the past, or con
summate any friendship for the future: and if
wegive them the advantage which we can now
withhold, wo will be false to the people—false
to our principles—false Jo the country.
Govcrcior’s Jlcssnjje.
We lay before our readers to-day, the Mes
sage of Governor Crawford, transmitted to both
branches of the General Assembly on Tuesday
last. The Message in tho main, is a sound and
statesman-like document, and wo submit it to
the people without a word of comment as to its
views.
If our colors were torn in the late campaign,
they are still flying, and we are not discouraged,
neither are we of that number, who would with
hold justice from a political opponent, merely be
cause be is such. Republicans as well as
Whigs have a common property in whatever
may redound to the honor and glory of Geor
gia, or the welfare and prosperity of her citi
zens, and for our own part, whether a Whig or
Republican be at the head of affairs, when we
conceive his views of public policy to be sound
and bis aims patriotic, wo will not b<? captious
or contracted, merely because the Executive’s
political opinions on some subjects are antago
nist to those of our own party. Although we
cannot agree with him in all his opinions and
views, we can agree to disagree, particularly
when we in general coincide with his adminis
tration of public affairs, so far ns local questions
are concerned.
j him in the estimation of every Republican—of
j every p.-.ti iotic Southern man—bis bitterest po
litical opponent emild not wish him a worse
fall |han his own friends have at last given him.
It was but tho other day that the whole whir,
party of Georgia hailed him as a second Pali-
nurus. His opposition to the “iniquity” of the
Texas scheme, the annexation “ fraud”, was
pronounced to be the cap sheaf of his civic hon
ors, and was claimed as the noblest example of
public virtue and patriotism in modern times.—
Senator Berrien also received bis full meed of
praise for bis assistance otherwise in the late
Presidential contest, as well as for his devotion
to his party while in Congress.. H:s charac
teristic modesty l>ent under the weight of the
honors heaped upon him. But he may now
learn that all these honors were undeserved.—
“But yesterday the word of Crcsarmight
Have stood against the world : now lies lie there
And none so poor to do him reverence.”
He can sink no lower: his opponents could
inflict no punishment half so galling or degra.
ding. Like the outcast Wolsey ho may wel]
exclaim in unguish and bitterness of spirit,
“l liave ventured
Lite liule wanton boys that swim on bladdeis
These many summers in a sea nf glory:
J!ut far beyond my depth: my high blown pride
At length broke under me ; and row has left me
Weary and old with service, to the mercy
Of a rude stream that must forever hide me.”
Preliminnty to the selection of a candidate
to be run by the whigs for U. S. Senator, a
caucus of the whig members of the legislature
assembled at their Head-Quarters in, Milledge-
ville on Thursday evening last, which resulted
iu the utter repudiation of Senator Berrien by
bis friends. So unexpected was this to most of
their leaders, that we understand that upon tho
organization of the meeting Mr. Jenkins of
Richmond moved that Mr. Berrien should be
nominated by acclamation. But it soon ap
peared that he had spirits to deal with who
would uo more answer to his call than Glendo-
wer’s
“Spirits from the vasty deep.”
Out ofthe cighty-threo members present Ber
rien received 28 votes; Dougherty 54, and
Dawson 1.—“ O ! Icbabod, Icliabod ! how art
thou fallen!”
But how are we to account for all this? Is
it from an increasing conviction in the minds of
the more considerate of the Federal party that
something, they know not what, must be done
to wash out the inky stain which their opposi.
tion to Texas has left upon thorn 1 Our readers
will remember that we made this prediction
months ago. We saw, or thought we saw, in
fluences at work which were designed to over
throw the dynasty of the old Bourbons—and

signal and pointed as the rebuke administered
to Mr. Berrien by the Representatives of the
people has been, we fear it will not exert any

siding officer of the Senate, delivered the fol
lowing address:
I pray you, gentlemen of the Senate, to ac
cept the homage of my profound thanks for the
high honor you have done me, in selecting me
to preside over your deliberations. It is an
honor, I assure you, which affects me with a
lively sense alike of tlie confidence which it im
plies on your pait and of tlie obligations
which it imposes on me. To justify that con
fidence and to acqnit myself, to the best of my
ability, of those obligations will be tlie object of
my faithful and unremitting endeavors. The
task is one, in attempting which, I am sustained
by a confidence inspired by the certainty with
which I rely upon the just support and co-ope
ration which you will extend to your presiding
officer,—an officer who is but the organ of your
will and authority for facilitating the discharge of
the dignified and responsible duties which tlie
constitution devolves upon tho Senate. Still,
gentlemen, it is not without anxious and un
feigned diffidence, that I enter upon the task to °
w-.icli your choice lias summoned me For 1
bring to that task no practised skill,—no quali
fications founded on any former service or expe
rience in presiding over deliberative bodies.—
Coming to this office thus unversed iu its du
ties,—duties calling for an ever, active and su
perintending attention to tlie order regularity
and despatch of the grave and diversified public
business in which we shall be engaged—duties
moreover, of a sort which must frequently re- once
quire from tiie Chair instant decisions upon im
portant and suddenl}' emerging questions of par
liamentary order and procedure—1 cannot but
feel strongly the ncceseity under which 1 lie of
bespeaking in advance that generous indul
gence at your hands, of which it is easy to fore- I
see that 1 shall stand greatly in need. Permit i
me to say that 1 anticipate undoubtingly that j
such indulgeuce will not be withheld by Sena
tors, so long as they shall perceive in the Chair,
an earnest and uniform, although it may be an
imperfect effort to discharge aright its appro
priate functions and duties.
It^ is not unbefitting the present occasion,
gentlemen, for me to advert to a great and im
portant political fact which is well entitled to be
kept prominently iu view by Senators. That
fact is, that we sit as die first Senate convened
under a now constitutional organization of tho
legislative departments of tiie State. The two
Houses meet to-day, literally and emphatically
ns a rcjormcil legislature, under an amendment
of tiie constitution, long agitated, well consider
ed, and at length, deliberately and solemnly
adopted. This event fa I ms a most interesting
epoch in our legislative annals. Ii is an event
which cannot fail to impress every senator with
a strong sense of the augmented diginty, im
portance and responsibility of the senatorial of
fice—an augmentation which attaches to each
individual member; not only in consequence of
the gieatly diminished number of liie whole
body; but also in proportion to the enlarged
the harpies who are seeking to ingulpl, tl Je rem
nant of public and political happiness left to
Georgia. Our feelings for tlie Senator and
this other class are very different. Much as \m
deprecate the political opinions of Judge Berri
en, his talents have always commanded onrad
miration. We have regarded it as unfortunate
both for himself and bis country, that he ever
imbibed the errors which have lost him the con*
fidcnce of his fellow-citizens, and deprived the
State of talents which might be rendered sub-
servient to thy highest interests of ourcommrn
country. But even in his errors he is above
infinitely exalted beyond the unaccredited band
who owe their little elevation, disreputable as it
is, to political recusancies worse than his own.
If then there is only to be a change of men
and not of principle, the State nor the people
will not be gainers in the end. It is true that
the heresy so unnatural to tlie people of this
State owes its elevation principally to Berrien
—yet his banishment will not be sufficient to
eradicate the evil unless her people look back
to their former principles and elucidate from
them—a change of men will not be sufficient t»
rescue her from the misfortunes she has suffered
hy yielding the integrity of her pristine purity
—her early political doctrines, to the purposes
of a band of artfid advisers, whose innovations
have wel! nigh dried up the sources of her pos
terity;—It can only be done by awakening
to her true condition—by a return to the doc-
rincs of tlie wise men who swayed her councils
in her earlier and better days, when she perse
vered in a judicious course and'graduated her
public temper to tho maxims of her true friends,
and discarded the confined and narrow inculca
tions emanating from selfish, political zealots
and demagogues. Will she do that, or tti'l
she persist in her unnatural political herr.*;ies (
until her character and- that of her citizens be
comes pre-eminent in the contempt of eveiy
republican in the union ?

“ The clerk now proceeded to call liie grand
jurv, and after they had been impanuelled,
Judge Woodbury charged them with great elo
quence and clearness upon their general du; lS
and jurisdiction. On the limitations of their
constitutional functions he was particularly full
and explicit, and he laid down the great dec-
trine of slate rights, in connection with the pow
ers conceded to tho General Government, "itit

On each several topic his views were compre

dici.il moderation which should always charac
terize w! atever falls from the bench.
