ing particularly to tlio fact that Gov. Randolph
w as an entire stranger in (he country, and that ho
gives no evidence in support of thu accuracy of
that slateuient, it is disproved by what Ellioott
hut.self says in his journal, lie was not a >le to

any certain information as t > the lit ad ol the Bt.

tainly mistaken in stq posing that the head of the

mon reputation of l lie countiy. at the date of that
tica,y, is proven by the fact, that it was made in
Spain, where such common icputalion if it Imd
existed, could not have been known No doubt
can be entertained but that by the head of the Bt.
Mary’s in the treaty of 1795, Was intended the
same place so called in the treaty with Great Bri
tain in 1783—l'his is proven from the fact, that
the treaty of 171)5, has adopted the same dosetip
tien of the ent re line from the Mississippi ;o the
Bt. Vary'-, as that used in the treaty of 1783
The disputes as to boundary between the United
States and Spain, winch were intended to be set
led by tiie treaty of 1725, related to the extent of
Meat Florida It is not known that any tlilfer
cnce of opinion existed as to the termination of
that putt of tire hue running from the junction of
the t.haUahootlho and Flint Rivers to the head of
the Bt. Mary's It is certain that tlio U States
did not intend, by the treaty cf 1795, to alter the
termination of that line, a: fixed by the treaty of
1703 JJy the treaty of 1783, Great Biittain ac
knowledged the B tales of the Union tube free,
independent, and sovereign, and relinquished to
them all her rights of territory. Whatever boun
daries tiicieibre, belonged to the Province of
Georgia, at the coinmenuuicut of the War of the
It< volution, became the acknowledged boundary
of the elate by that treaty. The last acts of the
British Government, in relation to the botinda
ties ot Georgia, were the proclamation issued in
|7tid, esta Indiing tiie government cf Fast and
West Florida, and extending tiie southern boun
dary oi Georgia, (noth Gctngia and Florida being
at that tune i retinues ..f Gr ‘Milam.) and the
Commission granted to Gover. t\ right in 17(1-1
In the fist oi these acts, tlio hue in dis ute is do
. scribod as running from tlio junction of (be < hut
[ tahootliic and Hint Rivers, to tiie source of the
’ St. Mary's river ,in the later the southern boon
dary ot Georgia is described as extending to the
most southern stream of said river. All ruoso
fjiicnt instruments, which mention the head of
the Bt. Mary’s, ns descriptive of the boundary
line of Georgia, or ot the United Btates, must ne
cessarily mean the head of the St. Mary’s, as de
scribed in these two acts of the British Govern
ment; became no alteration was after wards made
ir. that part of the boundary of Georgia, cither by
Groat Biitain or he state. But tlio c immttee
say, that admitting this to be true, Georgia is
barred of her right to territory, which might oth
er.vi o have belonged to the state; because of her
yarn us act ofacq iesccut e for a quarter of a ccn
turv, in the mistake*!' KHicott-aud Minor. The
co .miitiee however are as n.ucli mistaken in the
fact, which they thus assume lor the truth, as they
were in the principle by which they attempted to
prove what place was to oe understood by the
head of the St. Mary’s They have given no evi
dence of any acquiescence on thi; part of the
state, until 1819 So far from it, there is no proof
t' t the constituted autlioiilies of the sta c had
any knowledge of the proceedings of those com
missioners. No proof can bo obtained that their
proceedings have ever been sanctioned by the U.
Btates or Spain. In 1890, the treaty of 1795 tva
published by the state, as a document by which
its boundaries were described. Nothing was then
known of Ellicott's mounds.
B ,t suppose the constituted authorities of tho
State had been officially imformed of Ellicott’s
and Minot’s proceedings, how were they to have
ascertained their incorrectness ? These Commis
sioners, aided by the power of both the U States
and Spain, were unable toexcuto their commis
sion according to the terms of tlio treaty of 1795,
on the account of the hostility of the Indians, who
were in possession of the country between the
Cii 'ttahoochie and the head of the St. Mary's—
How then was Georgia to ascertain her tiue boun
dary ? VV hen that part of the State was acquir
ed of the Indians, and was about to be granted to
its citizens, the Legislature was informed that the
placed fixed upon bv Ellicott and ftlinor, for the
iiea.l of tho Ft. Mary’s, did not describe it truly.
An examin.'tiou was for the first time made by
the authority of the St ate, iu 1819. The result
w.n unsatisl'aetouiy, because it was neither accu
rate, minute nor scientific. It did not blind
Georgia, because it was not obligatory upon
Spain or U. S. And because it was never sane
tinned by tire Legislature. But suppose Geor
igianad acquiesced for a quarter of century in the
I ink,take oi Ellicott and Minor, car. any inference
1 be drawn therefrom,except that tho state confi
ded very oxplictly in tiie faithfulness sftlie U. S.
ia exercising its high authority to treat with
Foreign nations? It it appears that the U. Ftates,
in executing that authority, parted w ith a consid
erable portion cf the territory oftlio -State, can it
now take tlio advan age of its own wrong, not only
to con tingle the injustice, hut to profit by it? tT(jis
cannot be. When this subject comes to be inves-
Itgated, by discussion in Congress, and subjected
to public opinion, the right of tho State must pro
yai! over many various political combinations and
interests which have hitherto delayed its acknow
ledgement. The Slate feels no interest in the ac
quisition ofterritory, at tho expense of Florida.
Its constituted authorities are however, imperi
ously bound topre civo unimpaired the integrity
ol the Elate, ns defined in its cmstilution. It' the
Legislature determine to have, the true head of
the Ft Marys ascertained, without waiting for
tin: d'lfi-ion of Congress at its next session, it

individual, for the violation of the law upon this :
subjei I, is hcio ilh communicated It is believed
to be highly important for the future pro-perity, 1
and qu et of (lie state, that the law of the last
session, e-cnacting the law of 1817 prohibit ng
the further introduction of slaves into the state,
except by citizens for their own use, should bo
so amended as to exclude their introduction alto
gether, except such slaves as may become the
pioperty ol citizens < f this state by testament, or
the death of relatives in other states, intending to
bee. me .citizens of this it is believed that tlio
number of our slaves is already fully ;.s great as is
required f r our advancement in wealth ; an in- 1
crease would but les; en the value of those already I
possessed, and strengthen the probability of their
becoming at some timo an oppressive burden to
our community.
The prejudices against slavery m many of the !
states, the increase of similar feelings in some of
the slave holding states, attendant upon the de
crease of the slave and hie ease of their white
population, the danger of having the slave popu
lation in the state dispropoitionately gro t to the
tiie tree, without the possibility of hereafter
throwing oif that peculation when it becomes
burdensome, and the unjust revenue system of the
the federal government, by which permanent
bounties are given to manufacturing and me
chanical at the expense of agricultural labor,
(slaves being in geneial incapable ol any but agri
cultural) indicate veiy clearly the po’iey lor us to
pursue ft is believed that no benefit will result
from the re-enact ent ol the law of 1817; that
law prohibits the introdnetion of slaves by negro
tradors, but permits every citizen to bring them
into the slate fir his own use; yio only conse
quence of which will be, that a much greater
number of persons wilj become engaged in a traf
fie which, from its nature, the interest of society
requires should bo confined to as few as possible
The enforcement too of the law will be extremely
difficult, because oftlio impossibility of distin
guishing the trader for profit and the citizen buy
ing lor his own use. If the law were ;o altered
as to make it a crime to introduce slaves into the
state, either for use or sale, (with the exceptions
already inonlio ed) and forfeiting all slaves so in
troduced, in whatever hands they might bo found,
such latv, it is believed could bo enforced without
dillicultv This su ject is recommended to your
consideration, fiom the conviction that Uio future
prosperity of the state may be deeply affected by
the policy which you may pursue.
One hundted and nine negroes have been pur*
chased for ssU,ol>o, the sum appropriated at the
last session oftlio legislature. Ninety eight have
been received from river commissioners, making
together two hundred and seven. .Some of those
received of the river commissioners are of very
little valuo and a few but an expense. It is expe
dient that such should be sold or otherwise dispo
sed of. The public hands have beeu placed un
der two competent superintendants. Considera
! ble delay was occasioned in commencing, and
I improving the roads leading to Macon, Golum
j bus, and tho neighborhood of Flint river, on ac
| count of some of the public hands having been
hired out for a timo which had not expired at the
beginning nf the year;the refusal of the Altamaha
commissioners to deliver those in their possession,
to the older of the executive; and the difficulty
of procuring a meeting of the Flirt river commis
sioner The latter difficulty may again occur.
If then for. the public hands are to be continued
at work in the neighborhood of the Flint river, I
would recommend that such a change, bo made
in the present law, as to enable the commission
ers ;o have a meeting with less inoonvcnience to
themselves and more certainty when the public
advantage requires it
From the reports of tho superintendants it ap
pears that tlioy have had executed t>o miles of prr>-
perly graduated and otherwise highly improved
road loading to Augusta; 41 to Bavannuli; 19 to
iVlilledgovillo,— to Macon; 94 to Columbus; 59
miles w thout graduation, in the neighborhood of
Fiint river
The public hands at work on tho road leading
from Milledgeville and Macon, were in the month
of Ju y, ordered by those having that authority,
to bo employed in improving the navigation of the
Oconee and Ocniulgee rivers. Great inconven
ience arises from tho same hands working both
upon the roads and rivers. Tho greater portion
of them having no knowledge of the kind of labor
necessaty for tho improvement of the rivers; the
sea on for laboring on the rivers is that which ex
poses those who have been unaccustomed to tlio
climate of the low country, and to tho neighbor
hood of large water courses, to fatal diseases;
many of them will be drowned; the tools used for
working on the roads will be useless lor improv
ing tho navigation of the rivers, and tho horses,
mules and oxen, which are required for the roads,
cannot bo used at all upon the rivers, and will of
course be expensive. Most of the overseers who
have tlio direction of tho hands on the roads, will
either have no qualification for directing the labor
for the improvement ofthc rivers, or will be un
willing to ritk thoir health by such emyloyment.
The necessity of changing the overseers two or
three times iu the year, will increase the expense
and the difficulty of obtaining such as the public
interest requires Theso, with many other obvi
ous reasons induce 111 c to recommend to yau tho
alteration of the present law, so as to have distinct
corps of public bunds and overseers for improving
the rivers from those employed for v orking on
the roads. More economical expenditure and
efficient labor will be the result of such a change
of the law The present salaries of the superiu
tcndnnts are no compensation for theperfo marice
of the duties required of them. Thev have been
requested to keep accurate accounts of their ex
penses. from the belief that tlio legislature will
consider it but just to t. c valuable officers to pay
them. The impossibility of keeping a constsnt
control over the conduct of public agents, renders
it necessary that the state should bring into its
service higher qualifications than would be neces
sary for ind viduals to employ to effect the same
purposes. This can only be done by giving liigli
er salaries It may be expedient to have but one
superintendaot, but whether ono or two, their
salaries must In: far greater than at present allow
1d by law Without this is done tlio service* of
such perrons ns have the ability and character to
.erforin beneficially to the state tiie duties requi
red of them, cannot be procured. Tlio public
1 rvice may nlso be advanced by increasing the
ny of the overseers, and especially of such ns
may be employed on the rivers. Thu expense of

THE DEMOCRAT
COLUMBUS, SiTURD.IV, OCT. 30, 1830.
Notwithstanding it 3 great length, we have read
through with undivided interest, ho Message of
hi excellency goverar r Gilmer, tg the the Le
gislature on the opening of the callm session,
and in its general tone ami spirit, we confess tic
have been agreeably disappointed. The gov
ernor steins to have brought a temper of calm
investigation to subjects of the liighed import
ance to the slate, and has treated then, in a sound
and dispassibnato mariner. The measures ho re
commends, which, if not the very best that c..ukl
1 ossibly be devised under existing circumstances,
a.c still much better than many, whiv.li 11
the excited state cf public feeling, might obtain
the hurried assent of the Legislature. In regard
to our indtau relations in par'icular, much feel
ing exists,and we are happy to percci- o, that in
stead of throwing firebrands iu'o the ntidsls of
inflammable materials, the governor recommends
a course of magnanimous forbearance, and pru
dent circumspection.
The governor rec- mmends to the consideration
ol the legislature, tho passage of a law for tiie
removal of intruders from tho Cherokee country,
the protection of tho gold mines, and such dis
positicn of them as may render them pr ofitable to
the state. And to do this, he says, it may become
necessary to obtain an accurate survey of tho
whole country. But he says, “it is also duo to
our own character, that \v. should have a j aloua
cate, lest wc press the necessity of taking posses
sion of the minerals in the Indian lands, beyond
what the public interest 4c- may require. Liven
the measure of surveying tho Cherokee country,
however necessary to the proper administration
of the laws Ac. is oa account of the sensitive
feeling of tho humane Ac. so liable to miscon
struction, that it would be magnanimously for
bearing, in ti e legislature, porhnps wise, to delay
the adoption of that measure f r the present'>
And he adds, “the unreserved manner iti which
our rights have been acknowledged, require of
the stalo the fullest confidence in the present ad
ministration upon this subject." “Bathpolicy on
our part, and respect fir the government, demand
that wo should wait patiently, without acting, tU«
result of the exertions 1 f tho president in using
tho means provided by congress, for that purpose.”
lie also recommends tho repeal of the act of 1829
which prevents indians and the descendants of
indiaus, from being competent witnesses in the
courts of tho state in cases where a white man is a
party.. “Tho presont law (he says) exposes
them togieat oppression, whilst its repeal would
most probab'y injure no one.”
In his views upon the Judiciary system we also
entirely concur And, take it altogether, it is a
document creditable to bis talents, his industry
and information Wei! would it have been fi> r
tho reputation of his excellency could ho hove
brought iiic same mind, to tho composition of
some of his other performances On many points
wc deem it exceptionable; but our limits will not
permit us to go into a full analysis. Wc may
perhaps revert to the subject 1 ext week.
The great len ■th of the governor's message
prevents our giving it entiro iu one number of
our papor. The balance will be furnished in our
next.
Rapid conveyance —A great noise was made
about the rapidity w ith which president Jackson's
message was distributed a year ago. Although
little has been said about it, yet tho Fpeed with
which governor Gilmers message travelled from
Milledgeville to Columbus; beats tiiat of the pres
ident's all hollow; It was presented to the two
houses at Milledgeville, on Tuesday the 19th, at
12 o’clocck, and with the aid of a tri-weekly mail,
and daily private intercourse, it reached Colum
bus, a distance of 120 milts, on Wednesday the
27th, in the short space of nine days.'. Prodigious!
Now what renders this still mere strange rind te
marliable, is tho fact, that Gov Gilmer’s
message is full as long and as weighty,
as was president Jackson’s, and that in the ono
case more than five hundred' hor«os died oftlio
hollow horn, and in the other, not ono lost hairo r
hoof! Prodigious!

of all the resolutions of a general amt public na

in said State from the year 1820, to the \i ' l 182-

Containing the constitution of the slate of Geor

the most approved forms used in carrying the
aliove laws into effect; with a copious ind x Id
the whole it will be something film a concilia
tion of Prince’s Digest, noting tho laws in s..iil
Digest, repealed 01 altered It may be obse ved,
that the legislature of Georgia are in thu constant
practice of repealing, altuiing, or amending laws
passed at thoir previous sessions, so mat without
such a digest, or compilation nf them,as is no v
respectfully ofi'ered to tiie public it actually 10-
quires a lawyer, or a person who bus devoted
much time to the examination and c. tup iris 11 nf
t'ie did' rent enactments of each succeeding ses
sion of tlm log slnluro. to be acquainted with all
the laws which arc of force. And having u lines
sod with much pleasure the immense public utili
ty and popularity ot'tlio digest compiled by Oli
ver II Pi ince and also having no dou t but a
similar compendium of the laws from the time of
that publication down to the present wit Ii tlio ad
dition of the precedents, on forms, which will ii>
place and in the appendix, and which will add great
ly to tho public utility of the work, and to the fur
therance of justice would tie very acceptable to
the public, the compiler has ventured upon tlio
rduous and important undertaking, liowover,
not rc'ving altogether on hi own experience of
having been a member of the legis ature during
the passage of iho most oftlio Lavs now propo-cd
!o be published, and at the administration of
them for eight yi ars. as justice ol the inferior
court, in a county where much business of an in
tricate nature is transacted in that court anil tlio
court of ordinary; after collating thoiuauurcr.pt
it has been placed in the hands of gentlemen em
inent in the law, who alter a strict and caieful
examination hive politely tendered to him tho
subjoined certificates.
I have examined a digest oftlie Laws of Geor
gia from I '2o to 1c29 inclusive, by A. Foster,
esq. and think the work executed withgiea*Judg
ment and accuracy. The work i- intended us a
continuation of I 'rince's Digest, and is, in iny opin
ion, well calculated to answer tbit v.ilua e pur
pose. Although the author is not professionally
a Lawyer, he scums, in ascertaining Inc statutes
now of force, to live added much care examina
tion and’sludy, to h<s advantages as a practical le
gislate, during most of the period embraced in his
work.

Augusta, July 28, 1830.
I have attentively examined a Digest of tba
Law's of Georgia, from 1829, t 2 1829 inclusive,
and find the work is executed with much judg
ment and accuracy, by A Foster, esq. of 1 o.uiii
bis county,. 1 have no doubt tho work wills
prove valuable to every citizen who feels desir
ous to become informed of the statutes now of
force in the state, and would recommend all jus
tices of the interior court, jus iocs of the peace,
clicks, sheriffs. Ac. to possess themselves of the
work as zoou as published.
THOMAS GLASCOCK.
Wrightsborough, sth June. 1820.
Sir—As far as 1 have yet had an opportunity
of examining tho manuscript copy of your digest,
ot the laws ot the state of Georgia, 1 highly ap
prove both of its plan and execution. The vol
ume canuot tail to answer well the purpose tor
which it was intended In the appendix there
are a number of precedents or forms, which ap
pear to have been modeled w ith accuracy, ami iu
strict, conformity to tho digested statues from
which they were drawn; and without doubt will
add much to the value and usefulness of the
work, as a mean (in the hands of tiie justices of
the peace, justices of the inferior courts, clerks,
sheriffs, young pra. lilioners of the law, and 'ot h
ers) in drying the above named laws into effect
with greater facility.
I am sir your obedient servant,
PIERoON PETIT.
Arthur Foster esq.
The work is now in the hands of Judge Schley,
who has kindly promised as early as other en
gagements will permit to take it through a care
ful and minute investigation, and correction, if
correction shall be fouud to bo necessary and
proper.
Tlio great public ntility of such a wors must
be obvious to all; aud the compiler, who has de
voted to it ium h time and irborious study, flatters
himself that the testimonials presented above,
will fully satisfv the public, that that utility has
not been lessened m the slightest degree, by any
defect on his part, in its general design or the ac
curacy ofits execution
SHyAt the suggestion of the professional gen
tlemen whose names ere affixed to the above eer
tificates, and others who have generously taken
an interest ill the w ork, and with aii anxious de
sire to make the work as extensively useful as
possible to tiie public, tho compiler will introduce
into it soveial ii.gbly important laws of the Uni
ted Slates, in c minon uso among the people,
and which are often difficult, to be found; among
whichaeth.su i relation to the naturalization
of aliens the leuiaval of cases from tile state to
the United Stale courts, the mode of voti.’g tor
president and vice president, by electors, ami of
making the returns, and lire tiiuo of Uolding such,
elections, q c.
