From infer nation derived from various sources 1 was ■ on vincod that the Cherokeos could not un ler existing circumstances he r emoved cx t'ly individuals and families. Letters ore accordingly addressed to the r esident md Secretary of War, urging the adoption if this plan, and thc-right of the State to have Indians removed from within its limits idcyiendentlv of the success or propriety of ho General policy of the United States, as an xt „f justice arising from the contract of J You "'ill perceive in the President’s answer, his strong desire to gratify the wishes i 1 tiie State. Through some oversight in "I War Department, the necessary ifistruc- were not made out for opening the ofii rfs of emigration, until tlie pre ent distin r/iiislied head of that Department came into ifee. Yen will find in the papers which jrc i a id before you, the fullest evidence that •he President is now using all the means laced at his command to induce the Ciiero feespeaceably to relinquish their occujiant rights. There-is little doubt but that success mil be the result of hi% rv nsiires ifsuppor te.lin the proper manner by the authorities ofthis State. Permit me particularly to rc nsimern!, that you pass resolutions author iziigthe President to grant reservations in f, of such quantities of land, as may be nm p’r sufficient fot their support, to all the dirrokees who are actual cultivators of the fil to any extent, Utid who n.-.y desire to re itiin within the State and subject to its laws, non consideration tints the United States Government will pay to the State a reasonable citation therefor. Tiie law* v, inch was passed at your last scs wn, for the survey and distribution of the Oierokee lands, was not to be carried into ef fect until the title of the Chorokecs was ex tinguished by the President, or until further legislation. As the Indian title has not as yet been extinguished, it will be necessary tor you to determine whether any, or what tnrtlc r legislation shell be had upon this sub ject. Permit me most resjk ctfulfy to ex press the opinion, that the condition upon 'vliicli that law was to go into Operation, wight not to be repealed. If it should, and ■he Cherokee lands distributed according to its provisions, the effect would be, to de prive our hid'an population entirely of their possessions without their consent and with ant any equivalent. The ehaiacter of the ‘ *>j. Lw. txlot l#i tub TAIi-tU.i, iVk ( . . .i r._ opinion, and the rights of the Indians, forbid that so gross nil act of injustice should be committed. Although the right? of soil and jurisdiction arc'attributes of sovereignty which belonged tv) iho State when it became independent, flnd with which it has never parted, and in tint exercise of which it cannot be constitu tion •illy controlled by the United States, it , doe? not follow that those rigliis authorize tic State to plac the Indians beyond its pro tection, or to take from them their posses sions, to be distribuetd exclusively among mother portion offts population. •< npies ol Resolutions passed by the Lc si.-itt tires of several of the States, upon sub lets of general concern, arc laid before you. our attention is particularly called to those , lrom Massachusetts and Connectiout, charg ;-'this State with the design nfdissolving , :I ' Inion, because of its expressed determi nation not to permit the Supreiqe Court to control l its jurisdiction over crimes commu t’d within its limits.

The Penitentiary has as \ M been en enuntering the ‘difficulties which are notes swily attendant upon ait great and note! un dertakings. Its officers have been unexpe rienced, the buildings unfit for p-' purposes for which they w ere designed, and its entire police exceedingly defective. Instead of be ing fostered as ■ favourable restitution by the .State, it Ins. met with constant opposition. It ought not therefore to be matter of surprise, thn it has not prodneml the entire good ef fects that were anticipated from it. The question for your determination should not be whethe r von will abandon the Penitentiary,on account oi its present defects, but whether it cannot be so improved as to prevent the coin mission of crimes with more certainty than public whipping, pillory, branding, imprison ment in the common jails and hanging. It is objected to the Penitentiary that it has been a continued expense to the State.’ Ad mitting tiiis to be true, ought the expenditure of a few thousand dollars annually to be a matter of any consideration to the Legislature in adopting the best means of preserving the reputation, lives, property and personal liber ty of every member of the community, from the lawless attaeksol the vicious and the vio lent ? Front the result of the alterations which were made in the government of the Penitentiary three years ago, and what lias been effected in similar institutions in other states, it is confidently believed tiiat this ob jection may be removed altogether. It lias also been urged against the Peniten tiary, that it has not succeeded in reforming convicts. It may well be doubted whether human institutions can efi’ect much in trans forming vicious into virtuous men. But what ever might be effected in reforming convicts, we have had no reason to expect any such con sequence from our Penitentiary, because un til the appropriation for building cells for so litary confinement, iis manner of punishment was only calculated to corrupt and de grade them. All classes have been put toge ther in the same rooms at night, .-.duo effi cient restraints placed upon their intercourse during the day. The great advantage of the Penitentiary System consists in its withdraw ing from the community for a length of time its most vicious nu mbers, and so operating upon the imagination and fears of bad men, by its peculiar form of punishment, as to pre vent the actual commission of crimes. The habit of idleness and improper associations produce most of tiie offence* against society. It is therefore, that constant compulsoiy la- I hour and entire seejusion from all intercourse wifTi others, is the most dreadful as well as ■the most effectual punish nhnt. When if is ■ considered that no State has ever abandoned ■ this mode of puninhmer*, that it has been greatly improved of late years in many of the Institutions ot other States; tiiat in some of them large profits have been realized from 11lie labour of the convicts ; and Gbat in others | scarcely any instances occur of second com mitments; is it not reasonable to ascribe the | failure ol the Penitentiary in this-.fate,ratlier to the defective manner in which it has been managed, than to the imperfection ofthe sys tem itself? Is it not due to our character for i 1 r ~ , ? -.'Mwi-ig* n/v nf t.,-.n,Lu I a frm and fair experiment before it i kJuio j doned ? Ought we te throw away all the va ! lueable experience which we Imre acquired, i and the large amount of capital which has ■ been expended, .• about a thorough convic | tion that if cannot be rendered useful ? En tertaining these opinions, I fey! it my duty most earnestly and respectfully to recommend that the Penitentiary be rebuilt according to the most approved model, that the number of cells for solitary confinement, ■ wliich have been directed to be built be com pleted ; and that the necessary laws for ren dering its police effective be passed. In ad dition to the appropriation which will be re-! quirod for this purpose,-a further sum will hr 1 wanting for the purchase of materials for ma nufacture and the immediate support f the Institution. The bill which was passed at your last ses sion to regulate the internal police ofthe Pen itentiary, was considered unconstitutional, and therefore not signed. The reasons for withholding my signature, together with co-J pics ofthe hill, accompany this message. The members ofthe Guard of the Peniten tiary are gt present under no controul, bc cousc the law which directs the manner of; their punishment cannot be enforced.. I would therefore recommend that you dofne specifically vhat acts ofthe members of the j Guard, as such, shall be made criminal, affix to theyn their proper punishment, and subject j them to the jurisdiction of the Superior court, j The resolutions which passed at your last j session authorizing me to appoint a Board to j be composed of three officers, whose duty it j should belo review the Militia La vs, and re commend such alterations as they might con- J sider necessary to establish a correct system, j bv some inadvertence failed to receive tin ! signatures of the ><liccrs of the House of Rep resentatives, ami could not there fore be car- i tied into effect. The returns ofthe Brigade Inspectors and j reports from other offie rs show, that flic mi- j lUiu is in a state of disorganization through- j out the State. The prevalence of the opin- 1 ion that up effective discipline can be acquir-j ed in time of pence, from militia trainings,! has created among tiie people such an indis-! position to inibmit to the requirements of the j present laws, as to render it very doubtfulj whetherany additional enactments could he enforced. 1 would therefore suggest for your consideration whether, instead of devising new plans for improving and enforcing disci pline, good policy does ngt require the repeal j of the provisions which experience has shewn cannot he executed beneficially, particularly their present harassing and useless penalties, and that the whole system he rendered as simple and as easily executed as possible.— An enrollment of all persons able .to bear arms with an annual review in gac’i county, would it is believed answer nil the purposes of a mi litia system in time <T peace, ami especially if additional encouragement should he given to tiic formation of volunteer corps. It is not intended by this recommendation to im pugn the truth oftlie maxim, that tho militia of this country form its surest defence. The J o;!h nfg’e.t irihxim doe? not dope ad upon tho j siiperi(>r,d;sciplino*u hie.h the militia can by any training acquire over regular troops, but die persevering Spirit ana patriotism with which the citizens of a government who fcn joy tiie advantages of civil and political liber ty, will always defend their rights. The ques tion which is presented to von is, whether the burdens of the present militia system when considered in connection with its inelficien „cy, does not detract more from the value of our privileges, than any knowledge of the art of war it communicates, adds to their secu rity. . . „ I feel it ray dutwtoeal! yoiir attention spe cially to the necessity of reforming the con stitution, by equalizing the representation of the people, and reducing tea number of the members of the Legislature, bn theory all admit that the people are entitled to a ge neral equality of political power, as the surest means of securing to every one an equality c.f civil rights. Front the acquisition of ad ditional territory, and the division of the ori ginal counties, the rule of representation fix ed by the constitution, has become so une qual tiiat one third of the people are now in tiie enjoyment, through their representatives, of an equal power in the government of the State, to the otbe r two thirds. Most of the counties which have thus acquired an undue proportion of power, are in the same section of the state, which, from its climate and soil, must always be sparsely populated, so that the inequality of representation which exists at present, must continue to increase. It is true tiiat no very injurious consequences have, as yet, proceeded from this inequality, because it has been brought about gradually, and has not until very latdly been the subject of pub lic attic ition and interest. Factions, sec tional jealousies, partial laws, and the une qual distribution ofthe public, funds, must re-! suit from the present state of things, if thn mi- 1 nority ■ continue to oppose with success the j expressed will of the people for the restora tion of the constitution to its true principles* The- public gdbd therefore requires tiiat an al teration should ne effected as soon as possible. According to the constitution at the time of its formation, the Senate was composed of twenty-four members and the House of Rep resentatives of sixty-two. At present the Senate has seventy-eight members and the the House one hundred and fortywo. Tffc consequences of this change have been an in creased expenditure for the snpport of the government, numerous locdl and private laws and an uncertain and varying policy in the conduct of public affairs. It is specially ne cessary thaj tire present organization of the Senate should be so altered as to reduce* the number of its members to what it was origi nally, and thereby make that body an effici ent check upon useless and improvident legis lation, and destroy the united action which now takes place between the Senator and Representatives of tlie counties, and pro duces our vast superfluity of 100--! and private laws. If two-thirds ofthe Legislature cannot be induced to vote for an ninendioont of the constitution, accord big to the expressed will |of the people upon tfiis subject, i would rc [ commend that it bo referred to the people themselves, and that resolutions be passed advising them to elect members to a eonven ■ trevi) fr\T tit lit |Rfi jßg'Ci ■ The < ♦!,„ t’nitf'd Sl.'itos Having I failed at its last sesssiou to accept the terms ■ proposed by the Legislature for the ascertain ment of the' dividing line between this State and tire territory of I proceeded to cauacrthat line to Ire run by two commission ers, an artest and surveyor, as directed by your resolutions. The IVesidcnt was inform ed ol the time and place of their, meeting to enter upon the discharge of this duty, and in answer stater! his intention of laying the sub ject before Congress at its next session. 'The Commissioners after the most accurate examination of the different streams' which form the River St. Mary’s, and. tfie surround ing country, came to the conclusion upon evidence which is believed to lc perfectly satisfactory, that the head of the St. Mary s, as defined in the treaty of 1795, was to be found at the source of its middle or Western branch, that stream being longer, having more \vsfer and agreeing better with contem poraneous opinion than either of its Iwancltc.-,. Tiie quantity of land between-the line run by the Commissioners and that front the junction of the Chattahoochie and Flint rivers, to the 1 lace designated by Ellicott, and the Spanish Commissioners, for the head ofthe St. Ma ry’s, is one million, three hundred thousand acres. Most of it is exceedingly sterile, but intersected occasionally with, tracts of very productive soil. Much of that which is valu able lias been already sold and granted by the United States. It will therefore be nccessa ry for you to have the title tried, and : o direct the manner in which the territory is to be dis posed of, if the determination shall be in fa vor of the State. You are referred to the reports of the Su perintendents for an account f ihe ex tent of road which has been made by the public hands. The xpenditutes of the superintendents for the three first quarters of the present year have amounted <0 the suit} I of 817,518 60. It is estimated, that the an-i nual appropriation of 820,000 will prove de-j ficient by tiie snnt of 83000. This defieiun j cy should he supplied as soon as possible. This state has as yet made no exertions to profit by the great improvements which have been lately made in the means of transporta tion, Considerable interest has been mani-j tested by the people during the past year up on this subject, which it is hoped, will load j to some practical and beneficial result. 1 would recommend to your favorable con sideration, a communication which lias been received from a citizen of Hull county, a copy of which accompanies this message, giving a detailed statement of the |>c< sent difficulties which cits*met the navigation of the upper parcof theChatfahoochic river, an estimate of ‘•lie expenses of removing them, and the ad vantages that would result therefrom. With out adopting entirely the views contained in that communication, I would observe that the productions of that portion of the which is situated upon the head waters of the Sa-, vafinalf and < 'hattahoochie rivers, consist of ■corn, wheat, tobacco, iron and liine, all hea vy articles, which lose a large portion of their value from the great cost of carrying them to market, and cannot therefore be made to add their proper proportion to the wealth oT the fate, or offer the full reward for industry, un til the present means o‘ - transportation are im proved. During the last summer, the Creek Indi ans on the borders of this State, became in licted with the Small l’ox. The Croat a larin which was excited among the people lest the contagion should extend to them, was increased from the circumstance that the Indians were at that time in a starving con dition, and pressing into our limits, particu larly tin: town of Columbus, to procure the nipans of subsistence. Various quarantine regulations were adopted by the authorities of that town, to prevent all intercourse be tween its inhabitants and the -persons Who were diseased or had been exposed to con tagion. These proceedings were sanctioned by this Department, ns were similar proceed ings adopted by the Justices of the Inferior Court of Troup county. The c-xpense* in curred have amounted to the sum of tjj>9o4, 46. Copies of idl the papers upon this sub ject, are herewith communicated. The laws for the regulation of quarantine, and to pre vent the spreading of the contagious diseas es, are so indefinite that it was found exceed ingly difficult to determine what duty they imposed upon this Department. The liberality of the Legislature in nd dingtq the ertdowmnent of the College, has enabled the Trustees to rej - ice the building which was destroyed during the last year, contract for the erection of a chapel sufficient for the accommodation of tlje numerous v isi tors, who attend the annual College com mencements, create two additional Profes sorships, and fill one which was vacant. — There is every reason to hope that the State will Ire amply repaid for the support which it has thus given to its principal seminary of learning, in the improved capacity of its young men to serve the public faithfully and with ability. 'The Trustee* have been very much embar rassed fry the legal requirement that they should board and educate at the College one poor youth from each county, on account of the failure of the Legislature to provide the necessary funds for that purpose. The Academic and Poor school funds con tinue to be paid away from the Trcvsury, . without any security that they will be nppli jed properly to effect the object, for which j they are appropriated. Indeed we appear to j have been expending the public monet more ; with the view of expressing our conviction of ! the importance of education, to a free people, than of actually securing its advantages.— We have been paying sums to academes that have only an ideal existence, and for the ed ucation of th--poor, where such .a class can scarcely be said to exist, and when all re quire its advantages. The annual reports of j the Trustees of tltesc funds prove that t hey j have rendered no public benefit, at all, tquiv j alent to the amount which has been expen ded, notwithstanding that there have been particular instances of tire very useful appli ! cation of both. It may well be doubted i whether the present plan of appropriating ’ t!*e public funds to the purposes ol'education ! isr ot radical!? defective. If the people are lo be educated at tire public -expense, -ought pri_mnry-tw‘luio!s: **ji<llvn OYf*. jry district and made common to all the chil i dren ofthe State. The laws upon several subjects of ge neral interest have become so multiplied and in some instances so contradictory ■ in their provisions, as to render a careful revisal of them exceedingly necessary. I would call your attention particularly to the delects of our election laws. Of j the thousands of election returns annttal i ly received at this Department, scarcely i one is made in exact conformity with the law. There has been one hundred laws passed upon this subject, during the last six years, each varying in its provisions from the other, without any conceivable object. Perhaps the multiplicity and contrariety* of their enactments, cannot he more strikingly exempted than from fact, that eighteen different degrees of punishment were prescribed for the same offence in the laws passed at one session ; and that by Ihc law of the last session directing the election of survey ! ors in each county to survey the Chero kee territory, the superintendents were directed to make their returns under their “hands and seals,” and that in the se venty-six returns which have been receiv ed, the law has not been complied within a.singlo instance. The duty of this De partment in determining upon the legali ty of elections, is thus rendered exceed ingly laborious and difficult. If no com missions arc signed except niton the evi dence that elections are held in strict con formity with law, the counties will he without rtftleers, and if a different course is pursued the law becomes nugatory.— The best remedy for these difficulties Would seem to he the substitution of one gencrallaw of simple and explicit reqtiit e ments. for all that are now in force upon tiiis subject. In compliance with a request of the Legislature, I addressed a letter to the Stockholders of the Darien Bank* ask ing of them to date upon what terms they were w illing to dispose of their stock to the state. The copy of that letter to gether with the answers received, are herewith communicated. The offers of sale have been but few ; anti at hut very j small discount. It is believed that the [ purchase ujton any terms, would he an exceedingly unprofitable application of the public finds. I transmit copies of the Reports which have been received front the. different Banks. The notes of our Domestic Banks form at present tire entire circulating medium of the state. It is therefore of great im portance both to the government, a:.d the people, that Their issues should he so re-; gnlatad and controlled, as to prevent the evils of a vicious currency. Notwith st itrlityronr stnpb* productions have been | constantly declining ju price for the last ten years, the number ot our Banks have j been as regularly increasing. And at no j time heretofore hhs Banking privileges ; been more eagerly sought after, than sit i present, when our staple commodities are reduced to the lowest price at which they ran he produced. There is some reason to apprehend that the desire for the in crease of Banks proceeds as much from the spirit of speculation, which the uni versal habit of trailing upon credit, has created among our people, as the necessi ty for an additional quantity of currency to represent the circulating wealth ol the country. ’Whilst the government is con ferring upon particular corporations the exclusive right of issuing notes to supply the place of specie, it ought assuredly to protect tiie interest of the people from the improper exercise of such a privilege.— It w ill be p. rccived by an examination of the Bank Repo; ts of the present and several succeeding years, that the issues of each Bank, and ofthe whole collective ly, ha ve been more than double the amount of specie in their va"Us. livery Bar.k may therefore he considered unable to re deem its notes, in specie, upon any sud den and general demand. The commu nity is not at present suffering any parti cular in jury from this state of things, be cause of the regular state of our home and foreign market, and the undisturbed qui et of the count, y. Convulsions in trade will. however, take place at .some, time. Upon the first general demand for specie flic Banks must press their debtors, cur tail their issues, and perhaps stop pay ment. and thus bring ruin upon many, and distress upon the whole people. It is well worthy- f your considera tion. whether some precaution cannot he used against the occurrence, of such mag nitude. For this purpose permit tne to suggest to you the policy of making the Banks subject to the payment of a large percent, upon all sums of their notes, the payment of which may he demanded by the holder, (not being the Agent of any other Bank*or Corporation.) in specie, w liich they may omit, or refuse to comply w ill). As howrvciv this remedy nfight not he very effective, until thecvil to be prevent ed was actually felt. I would specially recommend that you prohibit the circu lation, after a certain length of time, of all hank notes und *r the value of live dol lars. The effect of this measure will he i to make gold and silver supply the place j of the notes, which w ill be tints excluded from circulation, create a constant supply of specie in the country, and thereby di al. ■' the Batiks, through their debtors, to meet occasional pressures upon them for specie, and to render tire whole currency whether of he.uk notes or coin, of equal value. That part of the community I whose money must always be in small 'notes, who have hut little knowledge of i the state of the Banks or the genuineness of their bills, would by this measure, he jin sonic degree secured from forgeries ' and failures, from wliich they must nl j ways suffer more in proportion to their I means, than other classes qf the communi ty, so long as Bank notes form the ex clusive currency of the state. The doubt which is entertained of the constitutionality ofthe law which creates the Central Bank, on account ofthe au thority which it gives to the Directors to issue bills, world justify an alteration of thi' law in that respect. The state woe.id also derive front sueh a measure an addi tional security against attempts to make the issues of the Bank correspond rather with the demands ofthe peo; le for money, than the quantity of public funds in its possession. A statement of the warrants drawn up on the Treasury during-the past year, is laid before you. A splendid map and atlas of the State of Xcw -Yoi k, bus been, by the direction of its Legislature, presented to Georgia, in a manner worthy ofthe munificence of that state. I cannot conclude this message, w ith out calling year attention to the serious public in jury w hich must follow from the number of oaths which are required to he administered by our laws. No truth is better tested by experience, than that oaths lose their proper effect upon the consciences and conduct otTnost nien, iv. proportion to the frequency of their repe tition. And yet w e continue to divest them I of their sanctity, by requiring them to he taken upon all occasions, and for the rn:>? „ trivial purposes.
