GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
At 12 o’clock to-day. liis Excellency, Governor
Lumpkin, transmitted to both branches of the
General Assembly, the following
MESSAGE.
Executive Department, Gcorgia, )
J\lilledf>eville , November 5, 1833. ]
Fellow-Citizens of Ihe Senate,
and House of Representatives —
At no period of our political existence, have
the Representatives of the people of Georgia
assembled under circumstances more signally
calculated to impress the mind with a deep
sense of gratitude to Almighty God. It would,
indeed, savour of infidelity not to feel duly im
pressed with a sense of our renewed obligations
to the great Author and Disposer of the desti
nies of men and of nations, for the many ines
timable blessings vouchsafed to us, his offend
ing creatures.
While the chastening scourge of Heaven has
been visited upon the people of both hemispheres, !
carrying in the train of pestilence, horror, des
pair and death, the people of our State have not
only been shielded from the wide-spreading de
solation, but have en joyed an unusual degree of
health and prosperity. Propitious seasons, a
productive soil, and genial climate, have crown
ed the labours of our industrious agricultural
population with a bountiful reward lor all their
toils. Our barns and store-houses arc filled
u ith plenty, and the surplus products of our la
bor command a price which amply remunerates
the laborer for ail his care and industry. In
deed, the various avocations, which diversify
the labour of our citizens, find an ample and
speedy reward, proportioned to the skill and in
dustry employed. Most of our people cultivate
their own tree-hold estates, and arc liteialh sit
ting undei their own vines and trees, and none
to make them afraid. Our prisons have no
insolvent debtors—we have scarcely pauper
in the land, except the few who have become
such from habits of intemperance. Asa Stat. ,
we enjoy the overflowing bounties ofaheniti
cent Providence. On terms of amity w ith all
Governments, we arebl. ssed with the quiet und
peaceable possession of our long contested ter
ritorial rights—rapidly increasing in population
and wealth, accumulating irorn the continual
developement ol the natural resources of our
State. Our inexhaustible mines and minerals
have opened a wide field for the employment ot
the most extensive science, skill und industry,
which is drawing to our State wilh irresistible
impulse, capital, skill, and enterprise from vari
ous parts of the world. Comparatively free
from individual distress, as well as exempt from
public debt, our people are possessed of abun
dant means es promoting their individual hap
piness, as well as their political piosperify
til the midst ot all these multiplied fir sings,
it is truly mortifying to witness the restless spirit
of agitation and political excitement, which has
been engendered and vigorously kept up
amongst the people, calculated, if not intended,
to alienate their affections from their own be
loved political institutions. That the value of
our Federal Union should have become a fa
miliar subject of calculation, is truly alarming,
and argues little for the patriotism of those, who
encouiage discussion upon such a subject. Who
could have believed, teri years ago, that at this
early day, we should have witnessed specula
tive discussion upon such a theme—or that it
1 could have become the leading topic of a cer
tain class cf politicians? The Union of the
States, one and indivisible, is now no longer the
motto of every American citizen ! These “signs
of the times,” speak vol irons of admonition, to j
every lover of constitutional liberty, and should i
fire the bosom, and nerve the arm of patriotism
in the cause of Union. Notwithstanding these
threatening evils, it is gratifying to see, that our
admirable system of lice government, based
upon the will and the affections of the people,
continues to unfold the appropriate ability con
tained in its structure, to withstand the assaults
of lorcign and domestic foes. The enemies of
our Government, whether open or insidious—
under whatever specious form or pretext—ap
pear to be doomed to discomfiture, whenever
they attempt to alienate the affections of the
people from that Government, which is em
phatically, the offspring and nursling of their:
wn effort and care. The people may alter
and change as to them may seem fit; but that
they would destroy that mighty governmental
fabric, reared by the toils and cemented by the
loou of their lathers—merely for the aggran
dizement of selfish demagogues and strife-stir
ring politicians, is not to be expected. The
spirit that guided our Washington has hithcito
pervaded and saved our country. The cham
pions of civil and religious liberty, ofpopulir
rights and constitutional government have thus
far succeeded and triumphed over all opposition
Therefore, we should not be dismayed at the
symptoms of yielding integrity and treasonable ;
ambition, which have been engaged in estima-,
ting the value, and threatening the dissolution j
of our Federal Union. lam willing to charge
the enors of all such, rather to selfish delusion,
than traitorous design; and will therefore hope,
that the clouds, which at present overshadow
our political horizon, may quietly pass away,
before they gather into a ruinous tempest. But
it has been truly said, “that the condition on j
which God granted liberty to man, is perpetual
vigilance.” We, therefore fellow citizens, as
the sentinels of the people, should exercise the
most unceasing vigilance, and suffer not our
selves to be led astray “by every wind of doc- j
trine.” Let us follow in the footsteps and au”
hereto the doctrines ofWashington, Jcffersorx
and Madison, and so far as the influence and
example of Georgia will extend, our Republic
will be safe.
The drawing of the Lotteries, which were ia
progress at the last session of the Legislature,
was completed about the first of May last; and
the act of the Legislature, providing for the
organization of ten new counties out of tho
Territory thus disposed of, has been carried into
effect—and we have now, a settled freehold
population on every part of our Territory com
petent to the administration of our laws, so far
as to secure most of the blessings ot our system
to those, whose enterprise has led them to be
come settlers in that interesting section of our
State, hitherto the abode of a people wholly
unqualified to enjoy the blessings of wise self
government. The accomplishment of this great
and desirable object to our State, has been at
tended, at every step, with the most unrelenting
and obstinate opposition. The unfortunate rem
nant of the Cherokees has, years past, been
made the dupes and instruments of selfish and
ambitious politicians, whose restless spirits hav©
uiged them to acts of mischief, degrading to
humanity itself. In the early part of the pre
sent year, another earnest and liberal effort was
made by the President of the United States to
effect a treaty with the Cherokess, having fox
its object their entire removal beyond the Mis
sissippi—which object, it is believed, was de
feated alone, by a few of the interested half
breeds, who are evidently under the influence
of political men, who stand opposed to the tru©
interest of the Indians, es well as that of the
State. The failure to effect a treaty has not,
however, prevented a continuance of our efforts
tu effect tlie object of removing the Indians, cJ
as early a day as practicable. Another oppor
tunitv of enrolment for emigration, has been
extended to such as may be disposed to remove;
and l am gratified to learn, that many of tho
intelligent and influential among them, liavo
availed themselves of the liberal terms proposed.
Tin r.. tore, the day cannot be distant, when tli©
Stale will be entirely relieved from the perplex
ities occasioned by this portion of its population.
It will, however, become the duty of the Legis
lature, ot its present session, to revise and
amend out laws providing for the government
and p. election of the Indians. Experience has
ahead;, exposed many defects and ambiguities
in th< xi-ting laws on this subject which should
be speedily remedied. In our anxiety to pro
vide for the welfare and protect the righfs of
tin- unfortunate race, we have, insome instances
given aa; milages to the native population ovc
our v.:, ;. citizens; which advantages, when
exercised ui'iiv- the influence of selfish counsels,
bi-i-cir.i opp. - ive to our white population, who
are i tastily not less entitled to the protection
of our laws, than the native race—however just
may u- their claims on the sympathies of r.
e.ilight ad government.
;.ier our existing laws, the reservations’
of i uui secured to the natives during their
pleasure, ar. , in many instances, unreasonably
large and ought tube curtailed by Judicious
legislation. 1 would also call the attention of
the Legislature ta another description of riativo
i la.n.s, which involves considerations of the
greatest importance to the interest and honor of
the State. A class of individuals, chiefly ot’
the white and mixed blood, and who claim the
right of natives within the limits of Georgia, are
persons, who, under the treaties of 1817 acd
1819, took valuable fee-simple reservations of
the best lands then ceded, under an expressed,
written determination to become citizens of tho
l nited States—and consequently, abandoning
all the claim of rights or privileges, as a pan
or portion of the Cherokee nation. Never
theless, these persons have since sold and
disposed of their reserved lands, thus taken for
large considerations of money for their individ
ual benefit; and have gone into the country
still occupied by the remnant of the Cherokees,
and have again and settlements
on the most valuable lands, of that portion of
their people, who have not participated in an
equal degree with themselves, in the benefit*
of the treaties referred to. Moreover, these
very individuals, by their superior intelligence,
and advantages of education, have had tho
address to regain an influence over the Cher
okees wlton the - had once abandoned to the.';-
fate—so ar as to rule, govern and influence
them in all matt< is relating to their mest im
portant intei* st; and have beeD, for years pus:,
and continue to tie, the prime and efficient cause
of preventing tiie Cherokees trom yielding to
the liberal and beniticcnt plans ol the Federal
Government, for removing them to the west qf
the Mississippi. The insolence, and mis
chievous intiluence of these individuals should
no longer receive the indulgence or countenance
of extraordinary privileges from the Federal os
State Government; but should be treated bv
both governments as intruders of the must as
suming character. The lands, now in the ot*
cupancy ol these persons under our existing
laws, ought to bo granted to the drawers; who
are the rightful owners, and who have been
restrained from the occupancy by the laws of
tho State now in force. These persons hat -;
already done their own people, the State of
Georgia, und our common coun ry. great and
serious injury. They have been the dupes a net,
m ’rumeuts at home und abroad, of desperate
political agitators; w hose factious spirits aio
unbridled by the restraints of virtuous patriot
ism.
A judicious and veil regulated system of
publio economy requires, that fho people r ,r.;
