PROSPECTUS, For publishing at Columbus, tin. a Political and Miscelancous A'ciespaper, l ■ be entitled tk e 13 E M. O C K A V . in preseiKing to the pu < i !i:s i’ros peetus for u new paper at (Jolun»i)Ua, the subscriber does not u'eeni it uecussaiy or expedient to «o into a minute detail of bis political doctrines, or of Ins paiticuSar views in regard to the various topics which now engage public attention, lie pre smites that his character as an odiior is too well known in Georgia to allow him to gain credit among any party, with uiert* piofcssions and empty promises. The public will be apt to look to tiie past in tor mitig their estimate of the Inline, aud by that ordeal is ho willing to bo Hied, In iho numerous political discussions, which tlio events of the and iy have called lorth, Ins opinions of men and tilings have been fine ly expressed, and me doubthss familiar to many of those to whom he now looks lor patronage and support. Those who have hitherto approved of Ins sentiments aud been satisfied witli tiie u.aimer in which he Ins urged them, will, ho tiusts, still con tinue iheir confidence, without the renew at of oledges, or a l'oimai confession of faith. ‘ In reference however to the present state of pirtits, lie begs leave to remark, that he (rusts the absence of all political excitement, will prove propitious to the cause of truth; and that now all parties, by whatever names they may have been dis tinguished, will be permitted to labor for the general welfare, unobstructed by the j joal usy, or the rancor of by-gone feuds. Tiie undersigned wdl endeavor 10 extend 1 still fuither this cordiality of feeling, and to allay the occasional .symptoms ot ex cerb ation to which a warmly conies'cd election may give ris»; and in this, aud whatever else he may undertake for the purpose of advancing the prospiiity < f the state, ho v ill count on the cordial co-operation of, every good citizen, however they may have previously difictetl on points of polit ical faith. Attached to the doctrines of the Revolu tion, and holding in high veneration ihe j memory of those heioes mid sages by j whom our liberties wore at he ved, anu our present admirable form o( govern,] out es tablished, the subscriber will ri, i; .vor to j ui an if- st the sincerity of his profissions, by j exciting a feeling of attachment to ihe : Union, and encouraging an entire cuiifi deuce in the institutions of our country. Ho will inculcate the duelling that it is better to bear a slight and temporary evil, against which wo have a Constitutional remedy, than to hazard all for which our fathers fought aud so many martyrs labor ed and bled. Ho will not in any respect, overlook or disregard (ho rights or the in terests of his own staii ; yet he must always view particular rights and interests, as re latively connected with others, and be will never consent to tbe sacrifice of a greater for n lesser good. The subscriber will endetWor to make The. Democrat .» vehicle of general intelli gence, and an interesting pi r o heal to the gentleman of literature, the agriculturalist the merchant and the mechanic. C. T. Bartlett.

P M. October COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER r i ;3a GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE CONCLUDED. The system however, i> rec.nniiiomled to your -pecial consideration, as the beat which rai, l. L , adopted m the present.-ituation of the state. Ex- i pen-ire canals, turnpikes and rail roads, can be; succe -telly made r.nlr in countries whose pro- j dilutions are great in .(nudity, heavy and' far r. - ! moved from their markets. Cotton’imy be con sidered the side staple of the interior ai.d uppci I part of this state—lts value is so great, in atop or- i j Iron to its weight, a.id the oust of its conveyaiice I ® v on from those parts of the state most remote j tr-uu it. market, so small, that no suriieieut induce i ine,lt e *' s V h>r the expend. ture . f large sums for - adding to the lacilility of its transportation The principal levers pass so far in the interior, and se equi distant from each other, ll at but a small proportion of the produce of the sttte can be made to pass over any one road or cam!. Ilu so cir cumstances, which thus render it inexpedient to make any expensive internal inpro«*oiiJents, in stead of being a source of complaint, only prove* tiie groat superiority if our staph commodity over most others. One of the advantages of the pre sent system is. that it may be unde to nccourmo uate it sell precisely to the wan’s of every put of the country by bavin • labor applied in proportion to (lie uso vvhii-h is made of each road, ft may bo made to supersede llio old system entirely, if tlio public revenues of tiie Statu to bo derived from its gold mines should equal what is anticipated from llioir reported lichncss. Butlitlic doubts is entertained fthe propriety of so -xtcudin i- tiie employment of the public hands. It present all persons in tiie state, between the aje ot sixteen and forty five, are liable to work fiteen days i:t tho year on the roads One striking disadvant age of this road tax, (for so it ought to lie consid ered) is its inequality. A large proportion oi* liie people do not work at all, whilst tiie hour requir ed of others is exceeding!buidensoniU. It is not only unequal in the quantity of labor which the laborers are mado to perform in different (arts ot tiie country, but m its operation upon tho dif ferent ciasse.-s r f the people It is in ilie nature of a poll tax, by which th poor mail is mute to pay as much as the rich. The labor too which is ap plied iti improving iiso roads under the old s.stem, is always inexperienced mid not equal in efficien cy to one half the quantity if judiciously dime led. ll' tiie funds of the state should not prove suffi cient to utliorisc the extension of thejiresent sys tern, so as to abandon entirely tiie old, tho same object may be in some degree effected by permit ting laborers at their option, to commute lie 1 ibor required of them, fur a moderate sum of money, to lie paid into tlio county treasury, to be applied | to tho samo object. I subnut to you a copy of a corrc- ponieice had with several liigldy intelligent gentlemen, tiie object of which has been to ascoitam the quantity of cotton and ether produce carried by wagons j over the different roads leading to Augustn"Su | vatinah, Millcdgeville, Macon, and Oolutubu.--, arid ! the cost of its transportation. It is Leliewd that the information thus collected, will be highly use ful in enabling the Legislature to have tiie inter nal communications of the state, improved in the best particula manner anil so as to be productive of the most beneficial results. Copies of tiie quarterly reports of the Superin tendent*, and also tho amount of their individual expenses are submitted to you. I have received from tiie superintendent of the Et tern Divisii n. an accurate map and -=urvey ct'ihe Savammli river between the cities if Augu. ta, and savannah, it accompanies Ibis communication In pursuance of a resolution of the Legislator!. agents have been appointed to settle with tii different river coinmisioners. Eettlomonls have been effected with the eoinudi:--mnei« tiie Os niulgee river, uh .ve and tn low Macon, and wi ll tiie commissioners of tlio Ccnnoo and .Savannah rivers, as w ill appear by rep< l ls of the agoms An examination of these reports, vvii! prove what universal experience hail previously est lblisiitd, that tho most wastful and inefficient of all nielli ods of executing public winks, is by tke employ . meut of irresponsible amt unjiaid agents. Yu are requested to direct the manner m which tlio agents fur settling with tiie river conmiissioiiors are to be.pkid. Dicir services have been such as uc f itrve to be cry- liberally compensated You art also requested to direct whether the agent for set tling witli tiie Oconee commissioners, shall also | set-i* with the fonner commissioners nt tlio Oco nee river, whose accounts remain unadjusted. The Arsenal at Savannah lias been completed, j and the puolic arms in that city , hitherto much i injured from exposure, Imve been th posited in it Reports have Ueen received f om U.e keepers of the Arsenals in Savannah and Miiledgeviile, con- tainiug schedules ofail 111 arms and munitions of war committed to their charge, copies of which are laid before you, according to resolutions pas sed at the last session of the i.cgisiature. One hundred and sixty-three copies of a system of exercise and instruction of field artillery, inclu ding manoevers for lignt and hone artillery, and nineteen hundred an I eighty of an abstract (>1 infantry tactics, have beeu received from tlio U States government, ami for tiie distribution of which it will be necessary ibr you to picsciit'-o so iwv regulation. Tho reports of tiro Brigado In-pectors, which have been received shew tho aggregate number of tire militia of tiie stale to be 3ti,3ff9, exclusive of Hie seventh division —As tho distribution of the public arms, under tire law of tire U Stales, for arming and equiping tiie militia, is made u arnong tho stales according o tire relative strength of their militia, it lias been a matter of some interest to obtain accurufe returns of tlio force of the State. Although Romo increase will be shew n w en full returns sliuil have been re ceived, yet tlie.disorg iiinalion is such as to ren der i’ impossible to ascertain the entire Mrenglh of t he militia of tiro state. , Various resolutions pa-«ed by the legislatures oi Pennsylvania, Ohio, Vermont, Delaware and Connecticut, upon tiie subject* of tho tariff', inter nal improvement, and election ot electors oi Pre sident and Vico President, have been received from the Chief Magistrates of those states, copies of which are, according to request, submitted to you. Resolutions passed bv the l.egi Jature of Loui sian i have been received, in which i express and the ! opinion that the tariff'of 18, is not only consli tutiona! aud oxped.cnt, but harmless to the South ern states —copies i.f these are also submitted to you, but not w itli ur calling your attention to thu striking illustration which they litrt i h of the sel fishness which occr.si nod ami < ontiimes in orco tiie present tariff system. Within the few last years sugar i-ano 1.-as become the principal produc tion of Louisiana.

It is perhaps tiie must singular result of our pe culiar tar.n n; Government, that our freo institu tions -iioidti have been so often preserved from violation !,v- the reurieunta!ives of ilio people, t nrotigh the r-*spo:i i liity :.:ni patriotism of our elective Magistrates. tiie resoluti in of the Legislature directing the appropriation of five hundred dollars fur furnish ing and repairing the G ivern iie t Mouse, was, in part, executed, acihre it was discovered tint that stun bail not been ins -rted in tiie act of ap propriation. 1 lie Government House required .some repairs to render it inhabitable—they were made and paid far nut of tiro contingent fund. No warrant can be drawn to pay for the articles of furniture which hive been purchased, until au thority is granted bv law. 4 on are referred to tlio quarterly reports of the Inspectors fur an account of the profits and ex penses of the I‘enitontiary, durinr the three fir.-t qua; ters of the present year. Tlio sum of SSOOO appropriated fir creeling 150 cells and other ini pru-veuieU, in the buildings, lias not been expen ded by the inspectors, for reasons which are sta led fully ii their reports. It is to be regretted that any cause should have produced this effect.— Experience hag fully proved tuat l’enelentiary punishment, when inflicted as it has been h tlior to dune in this state, instead of ref arming convicts, rctui iu rhciu to society callous to tiie sense of re putation, improved in tiie art of villainy, and feur ie-s of tiie consequences which the law attache, tu tl»o cuiumisEiou of crime, it is believed that the best correction for this inefficiency of our inode of punishment, is U lie found in tiie solitaiy confinement of each convict at ail t mes, except when at labor, run! meals. It is therefore recom mended, that the law of 1829, be so amended, as to carry :1s provisions upon tins subject into exe cution Much useful information has beun col looted and published, by tiie industrious uml bene volent efforts of tiie l'risou lJk-cipime Society of Boston, in relation to Pcnitentia, punishment. It might ho useful so direct the purchase a conside rable number of its reports. The laws fur lire regulation of the internal police of iha Penitentia ry inquire to be amended, in such manner as to secur discipline in the guatil. All in tins country concur in the opinion, that •he genera! diffusion of know ledge ainciig the peo ple, is necessary to tiie perfection of individual and social happiness, as w.-ll «» to tiie proper ati niiiiistraU-'ii of tiie Governmemncni. Jhe peo ple of this slate have noi pc’ r Ihr policy of f. s.eitng our literary i stilutiuns, lobe question ed.

Even as a matter of mere selfish policy and economical expenditure, we ought to return iiie wealth which v. ill be expended by our you.ig men abroad unless they can be educated at home. The ll miisliiug slate if our college shews the disposition of our people to support it liberally.— I'emiit me there fore to recommend tu you sucii an iuciuasc ofits endowments as will i liable it to procure the voiy best means of dispensing learning to i!s matricu lates The extent of our leriiiory, increasing population, and prospect of future wealth, justify, or rather call for this policy. Academies are lire necessary supports of a Col lege, and tile most useful and efficient means of forming teachers for our common schools. The success of these Institutions depeuds so essential li u >on circumstances entirely independent of the public funds, that it is exceedingly difficult to de tuiiurno what kiuU of support from tile state ope rates most beneficially for their encouragement. It is certain that the cause of Literut re is not much advanced by mere charters of incorporation, and equally so that the slate can neither endow with permanent funds nor support by animal con trib tiotiSjtili the academies tuxt have i cuuincor porated Pei haps appropriations ougiit not to be made for Academics, except tor tlmir permanent endowment and lew endowed but in aid o! tno contributions of individuals.
