By the Lw opening the hand Office in 1783, the same ltne is described ns tcimmaliug at the; head or souiceof tiie most sautUe.rn stream of the St. Mary's river. By the treaty ol Galphiuuim in 178 >, the Creeks ceded thtfir” lauds to 'he mo and southern pai l of the St. itlsrv s river ; the same 1 i.-.e it as o-uiiinncd by tho treatyoi 17~ti; in the lawot 1/87, the termination es tho disputed hue is called the head or source of the Bt. Mary a live. , But it appears that, by tiio reputation oftlio country, the committee into tied the neighborhood of the head of the Bt. Mary's IS tv, il is unfortunate f r iito teas ning of tho committee that it should liavo so happened, that the whole country around the head of the Hi. .Ma ry’s, was so Met tle nd unheal;by as to have been enUiely uninhabited at the dale of the treaty 'iho, res rt to a remark of Governor Randolph's, in i»-u, for proof, in which ho says, that as soon as there was a settlement attle mouth of (he St Ma ry s, the head of it was known. VViihout advert 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 obtain at iho place mentioned by Gov Randolph, any certain information as t > the lit ad ol the Bt. Mary's although that was the particular object of bis uiusiou. Rut that the couinictco wc.ecei tainly mistaken in stq posing that the head of the Bt Mary’s was to be ascertained by the com 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 it would ho expedient 1 hat it should be done, inline qiati .y, so us to av id the rainy season, which commences in January—l would, however, rce "irniH'hd delay until lire teniiiiistion of tlio nex' -;’ I ' n ol l-uigrn. .

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.

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!
