15 0,000. N'*w it is about 4,000,000
In ton years the increase lias been
not far from 100 per. cent —The
Western States contain 7 inhabitants
on a square mile. The m nber of
persons t*> a square mile in Massachu
setts is ro.
’ Allowing the ratios of increase to
be less as the country grows older, it
will be a moderate calculation to say.
that 1850, the Western States will
possess a more numerous population
than the other three divisions of the
United States.
When the population shall he as
dense as Massa- husetts, they will com.
tain 5ti,960.000. Allying one sol
di r to s ven inhabitants, the military
force will be 5/280,000. As the tin
organiz ‘d part, of the Western country
is not taken into this calculation, e
may sf Iv calculate that the p pula
tion a the period referred to, will be
mor ■ than 40.000.000.
Under the p esent regulations, <>v
er*y 40.000 s nd a repres* ntative to
Congress. The West- m States now
send 46. In 1850 (regulations con
tinuing the sanje) they will s-md 268.
The northern, middle, and southern
states now semi 170. According to
the best calculation that have been
made the increase of t i is three di
visions will not entitle them to 268
representatives. Electors for Presi
dent and Vi e President are chosen
o.i the same principle. Thus in little
more than 20 years, we shall govern
the United States and in 30 years the
power of the Western States will l>e
overwhelming.—While this genenera
tion is alive the g ivermnent of the U
nsted States will be just what the!
Western States are disposed to make!
it* At the contemplated period, thej
military force of the Western Spates
wiil he greater than the emperor of
Russia can bring into the field. How
important that science ami virtue
should shed their light over this great
valley us the Mississippi, and prepare
oor citizens to place s ch men at the
heads of department, as shall save the
nation from political shipwreck.

Savannah, 9th, July, 1828.
Gentlemen ,
Pursuant to the wishes of the
Grand Jury of this county, we beg
leave to hand you their presentment
on the suhject of establishng a Court
for the Correction of Errors in this
state. We think with the Grand Ju
ry, that in a matter of such great im
portance to the interest of the commu
nity, public opinion ought to be con
sulted; that it is due to the good peo
ple of this state to refer the question
at once to them, for the purpose of
eliciting an expression of their senti
ments, at the next general election.
We therefore respectfully recommend
to the Justices of the Inferior Court
of each county, to give public notice
that the presiding Magistrates at the
general election in Oi tuber next, will
receive the votes of the p-qdeon tuts
subject; that all voters favourable to
the establishment of sir h a tribunal,
will writ” on their ti kets COURT
OK ERRORS, and all (h >se opposed
to it NO COURT OK ERRORS;
and forth** purpose of giving elfi a y
to the will of th • people, let a refur
of the vote so tak n he made to the
Executive Dcp-rfment, to be laid be
fore the ensuing session of the Legisla
ture.
He are Gentlemen,
Respectfully your Ohnlt. Scrvts.

Extract from the presentments of the
Grand Jt ry of the Superior Court of
Chatham Countg , May Term, 1828.
W k v* ill not com lu-.te one pre
sentments without an earnest recom
mendation to our fellow <i izens. toe
P nple of Georgia, to make a common
effort to obtain a decisive expression
of their sentiments, concerning tin
establishment of a Court of Errors.
But the r'commendation of Grand
Juries in this matter is not suHi ient;
the sentiment of a county may nr may
not bo expressed; & we are warned by
experience of so* ii recommendations
having been so often made without of
fer’, that vve propose a direct refer
ence of the question to the peopl--.
Upon subjects of less importance to us
a public vote has been solicited, and
has been received as conclusive of
the fate of any contemplated alteration
of o=ir laws, or the constitution.—-Such
a resort to the people is a modern im
provement in representative govern
ment, pro. J aiming i:i the Hall -if Le
gislation the will of the constituent
up *n constitutional changes, without
impairing the dignity of th” represen
tative; or controlling his freedom of
action, in prescribing the details t
give effect to such positive demonstra
tions of the public voice. Indeed it !
is the only manner in which the p *o
jde, in a representative government,
can act demo’ati a Iv; arid by i’
mre certain and u -biassed expres
sions of their sentiments can be given
than were ever obtained in the aggre
gate assemblies of renowned an int
democracies. We therefore recoin
mend the exercise of a right upon t ns
occasion, by the people, and will very
bri- fly state some of our re .sons f.
deeming the subject of such imp ir
tance.
We think the Judicial System of
Georgia needs a Court of Errors
because i’s practical operation wi h
out such a court has destroyed th
permanency and universality of the
law, as a rule of action. Because e
ven in the same district, the law of
yesterday is not the law of to-day, tin*
decisions of a Judge are not obligato
ry upon his successor; and the proof
which at one term to enable a p irfy
to recover, will not be sufti ient at the
next; not because there is any change
in the evidenee, but because the law
has been changed by the change • f
the Judge.
We object to the Judicial System
of Georgia, because it confides to til
judgement of a single ind vidual (su
preme in his circuit, and from whos
decision there is no i.ppeal.) the grea*
lights of life, liberty and properly.
It is notorious that in counties ad
jarent, but in different (irruits, th
law applicable to our ordinary r- n
tracts is differently administe e 1
That evidence which would fix tie
liability of parties to notes of hand aiul
! bills of exchange in one circuit, would
be insufficient in another; and the rub s
regulating the introdu*. tion of test into
ny in a tic ns to try ti les to land, are
so variant aid opposite in different
circuits, that with the same evidence,
one man has recovered his estate,
whilst another, in au adjoining coun
ty, and of a diff rent circuit, has been
permitted to maintain a tortious pos
session.
The statute of the. St ate prescribing
the order of pay iog debts of <*xe utoi s
and administrators, is diff n utiy ad
miuisCred, and their li./u i>y t> an
a-tion for a devastavit depends op m
fhe.ircuit into which th y ma) re
move and reside, after having fully
and fairly administered the estates
represented by them in hik-i ue.r.
Onr Penal Code is diff r n ly in
terpreted in different circuits, ami
the sane larceny consigns one felon
t> ti e Penitentiary for years, and an
olher to the whipping post. These,
are some of the existing differences in
the administration *f our laws; many
others might be adduced, and the on
ly remedy to prt v*ut the multiplica
tion of them, is a C him of Errors.
We therefore respectfully recoin -
in n-l to tin; People of the county us
Ch*ti a u. to give oil the first Monday
i’ O tuber next, an expression of Ibpii
sentiments upon this sii>ij<*ct; and i\
q.iest th t tbe M igistrat s presiding
at the election on Hint and -y, will act
as a Com i ittee to r t eive their votes
We reap ctf-.ily reoimuiei.d to our
fcliovv cihz ns in every ounty, to a
dopt ihe same mode and tine , to oh
tain a similar expression of puhlit
sentiment.
We request the Justices of the 1 -
ferine Court to act as a . ommittee ol
C.-rrespeiidenre te circulate this pre
sentment into every part of G orgi-*;
and to devise, in connexion with oth
enommittees that may he appointed,
the best way of giving fficacy to tin
will >f the people, when it shall be ex
pressed in this regard.
