THE TRI-WEEKLY TIMES AND SENTINEL.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
[editorial CORRESPONDENCE.]

McDougald in pursuance of the recommendation of
OV ; Oobb, has introduced a bill to re establish annual
.mods. 1 his measure seems to meet with very gen
eral favor. J h
Mr. .Jamison, of Union, has introduced a bill, the
object of which is to take the election of Superintendent
t e tate Road from the Legislature and give the
appointment to the Governor. Thio is also out- of tl.o
recommendations of Gov. Cobb.
Mi. Miller, of Richmond, has introduced a bill to
abolish Survivorship in joint tenancy of personal pro
perty.
Mr. Deadwyle of Madison ollered-a resolution which
passed the Senate to Legislature on the
I.lth of December, >‘ v ,nA'To refuse all legislation on sub
jects of which the .Superior and Inferior Courts have
jurisdiction. In cep]y to w ] lieh Mr. Mosely, of Spauld
ing whispered
Idi rough, a jj reso i ves how soon it flies,
.. , 'Aeak the weak the slender ties.
i r. Stui^-, g Introduced a resolution to piint all bills
m i idiice - in t o t he Senate. Rills of a local character
were introduced into the Senate by Messrs. Hub
b u Gaston and Drane.
fi he 11th of November was fixed by the House as
day for the election of Solicitor for the Coweta Cir
cuit, for which office there are said to be eleven candi
dates, and of .1 udge of the Court of Common Pleas of
Savannah, lor which there are half dozen candidates,
and among them G. M. T. Howard, well and favorably
known in Columbus, and Mr. Bilbo, formerly of Albany,
but now of Savannah.
At 12 M. on yesterday the Senate was received in
the Hall of the House for the purpose of counting the
vote for Governor. This was the event of the day and
elicited much interest as the whig party was not without
hopes and the opposition not free from apprehension
that some informality in the returns might defeat the
will of the people and place Jenkins in the Executive
chair, and these hopes and tears were no little increas
ed by the presence of Mr. Jenkins during the day in
the liall of the House. We have no idea that he
would have accepted the office upon such terms. The
green bag containing the returns was borne to the
Speaker’s chair by Senator Boggis, of , who
seemed to labor under the load and turned over to the
Speaker, and opened in the presence of the two Houses
by their presiding officers. Many of them were as
long as the moral law, and some informal but no objec
tions were made to the reception of any except those
from ten counties, the returns from which were certified
to the Executive and not to the Speaker of the House.
It seems that return; from these ten counties were sent
to by the Executive office, and that copies under the seal
of the State were sent to the Speaker. Mr. Miller of
Richmond objected to the reception of copies when the
original could be procured Quite an animated discus
sion sprung up upon this question in which Miller,
Sturgis and Cone of Bulloch participated, and finally
by general consent a committee was appointed to pro
cure the originals, and tho votes of the 10 counties
counted from the original returns. The General As
sembly was engaged in this tedious work until a Du
hour, but finished before it adjourned with the gratify
ing announcement that Johnson received 47,63S m the
late election, and Jenkins -17,128 votes, and that John
•on’s majority is 510 votes.
After the applause subsided which follow td t is aM
nouncement the Senate retired to its ehambtr, am
Houses appointed committees to wait on the Goxtinor
elect. This morning the two Houses were mlorincil
that the Governor elect would accept the office to w lit >

GOVERNOR JOHNSON S.
rjAl'taiK-O, ADDRESS.
Senators and Representatives : ,
. i tl’ Executive ofrice, I trust,
In assuming the dunes o 11. fc^ K . mn r ,suabilities
I duly appreciate thei high r „ r Ulis , lis .
uhieh t tv> nm oc - IH)pll [. ir confidence, is equalled
Vnlv'hv unfeigned distrust of my ability to redeem them,
u’ ih tlnnkfuliK-R? and diffidence conspire to make me
i B ° KIV-md cautious. I bring to the task, however, the
z *eal of earnest patriotism, and the faith ol confident roli-
Tncc upon Divine assistance, to direct me m the path of
••Wisdom. Justice and Moderation.
Self-preservation is the first great law ot our nature.
Government is its out-birth—the organic form which it
elaborates for itself, as the instrument of its power, lortne
protection of communities. The object ot such protec
tion both for the individual and the social man, is to live,
that he may be free, and to be free, that he may pursue
tines*. Happiness is to lie found in the unfolding and
cultivation of our moral and intellectual being, m connec
tion with the rational enjoyments of all the souiceso im
fort refinement and luxury, with which the bountiful Ore
ator has endowed the kingdoms of nature. Its perfection
is 1 the attainment of the best and purest state o civilize
L This, then, is the pro,K.-r ultimate end of
Jj, ent to elevate man to the highest civilization ot winch
the union of the states and the sovereignty of THE STATES.”
he is susceptible. Hence it is the imperative duty of those
i to w,,orn administration is confided, to ascertain the
means within their control, and how they are to be ern
j plojcd, in order to promote the desired end
In a monarchy, where the will of one man is supreme
i 11,0 machinery of goverment may be kept in motion with- j
! , out calling into requisition the popular mind and heart
The Sovereign thinks and acts for the nation. If he be
wise and virtuous, the people are well governed : and for i
| me mere purposes of government, they need not be edu.
cateil. But our system rests upon an entirely different !
principle, ft assumes, that the people are capable of self- •
goverment; each man is a portion of the sovereignty j
and to the extent of his individual influence, gives direc
tion to all the operations of government. But this as
sumption is not based upon auy inherent capacity for gov
eminent, as an attribute of man. It pre-supposes intelli
gence, to understand his rights, and virtue, to give that
intelligence proper direction. Hence, public education;
and morality—enlightened intellect and cultivated heart— i
■ire indispensible to the success of our political system.
They are the main pillars on which the structure is built:
let them be substituted by ignorance and vice, and the fab
ric will tumble into ruins.
If to this consideration we add the reflection, that edu
| cation is the most potent means for the rapid development
| ot a high civilization—the proper end of government—
how obvious and impure is the obligation, to foster its dif
fusion among the people, with a liberality commensurate
with its importance and the unnumbered blessings which
it procures ! The cause of public education is emphatical
ly the cause of our State. It addresses itself to every no
ble feeling of our hearts. If, as patriots, we desire the
perpetuity ot our free institutions—if, as philanthropists,
we would gladden the children of poverty with the sun
! beams ot science, elevate them, to useful citizenship, and
j press to their lips the cup of intellectual happiness, it pleads
■ with an urgency and pathos that should awaken every gen
i erotis impulse.
r lhe natural resources of Georgia are almost boundless.
No spot upon the Globe, embracing an equal area of ter
ritory, affords a richer field or stronger incentives to en
terprise, in every branch of labor, and in every pursuit.—
Reaching from the southern spur of the Alleghanies, near
ly to the balmy verge of perpetual spring, she possesses
almost every variety of soil and climate, and is thus invited
to the cultivation of every product required by the neces
sities, or craved by the luxury of mankind. Hence, Ag
riculture should be fostered. It is the support of every
other art, feeds and clothes the world, and energizes its
commerce with the blood of life. Fertile vallies and bar
| reu hills alike demand the highest attainments of its skill, i
| to preserve the < ne from exhaustion, and fertilize the oth
er, so that both shall yield the greatest possible reward to ,
well directed indnsty.
In endless variety and exhaustless supply, the ores slum- 1
ber in the bosoms of our hills and mountains. All that is
required is enlightened enterprise, to make them available j
for the multiform of human life. In their dormancy
\ they are worthless ; but roused by the magic touch of in- \
! dustry, they will bring to the State wealth, prosperity and
j power.
But who does not perceive, that the successful develop
| ment of these natural resources requires educated mind—
i energetic enterprise directed by the skill of science and phi
losophy ? What, but science, shall analyse our soils, point
out the mode of their fertilization and test their capacity for
production ? What, but science, shall detect the location ol
ores and minerals and explain the best method ofappro
| printing them to the wants of society ? What, but science,!
shall measure the motive power of the waterfall, to propel
machinery ? It is the lamp to guide in every department of j
i labor and art. Without it, industry toils and gropes in]
j Cimmerian darkness and scarcely gains its daily bread by
j the sweat of its brow. Is it not then a mistaken economy, i
i that Georgia has so long dispensed with a State Geologist
j and Agricultural chemist, charged with the duty to investi-
I gate her resources, and to diiect the energies and capital
our people, to their developement ?
We have just reason to be proud of our advancement in
: facilities for rapid transport and travel. Their success has l
! removed the prejudices which, lor a time, impeded their
] construction and gives augury ol the prosperity and glory
with which they arc destined to crown our State. VV hilst,
therefore, we should not lose sight ol a wise economy, we
should be prompted by a liberal forecast to foster our system
of internal improvements, in every legitimate way. It will
hasten iho development of our resources, augment the value !
ol our lands, fix our population and strengthen our social
bonds.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad i j a magnificent
; monument of the wisdom of its projectors and the patriotic
liberality of the people who have cheerfully borne theex
: pense of its construction. It is an honor to the State : and
| under proper management, it is destined to empty into her
i lap the riches of the great western vallies. It has cost live
millions of Dollars. It is the common property of the peo
ple—the result of their common adventure and enterprise—
and therefore, neither political party should assume its ex
clusive control. All have the right to demand, that it shall
be so managed, as to yield the largest revenue and atl’ord
the cheapest and most equitable.facilities for the transport
of their earnings to market. It is as unjust as it is impolitic,
; that its fortunes shall be compelled to abide the fluctuations
; of party. It is the duty of the Legislature, in its wisdom, to
adopt some plan which will place its administration beyond
the reach ol this tickle mtluenee.
With these subjects are intimately connected the Me
chanic arts. With us, they have lagged behind all other
branches of industry. Comparatively, how little ot inven
tive genius have we exhibited! How tew of our native
sons engage in their pursuit! How !ittle do we appreciate
skill and taste in their execution ! Why is it thus? It is
because, with us. they are so seldom connected with edu- ;
cated mind ; and this again, is the result ot a false sentiment
which assigns the mechanic a rank, in the social scale, in
ferior to those who engage m other industrial pursuits.
This subject is scarcely second in importance to any other.
Can nothing be done to rescue the Mechanic arts horn ob
scurity, and elevate them to their merited dignity ? Noth
ing to render them attractive to genius and education . It
tin’s can he accomplished, it will reveal inventive genius
i and open new channels for labor and capital. It will lilt
our towns and villages with the sound of the hammer and
the music of machinery, and substitute, for dilapidation and
j decay, comfortable dwellings, thrift and prosperity.
It seems therefore, that the establishment ot a well a
- gested system of public education, the development of our
i boundless agricultural and mineral resources, the comple
tion of our schemes of Internal Improvements, the proper
administration of the Western and Atlantic Rail Road,
and the encouragement ot the Mechanic Arts, demand the
immediate and earnest, but judicious consideration ot the
guardians of the Commonwealth. They are subjects which
require wisdom in council, and prudence in action. But
they should not be neglected, if we expect Georgia to ad
j vance to the stature of full grown maturity, in the exalted
attributes of a high civilization.
It must not be expected, however, that these great ob
jects can be accomplished without the use ol money. lo
i raise the requisite amount, we must rely mainly upon taxa
lion. This involves the most delicate and important pow
er with which you are invested. YV hile, therefore, it should
be exercised with great caution, we must remember, that
contracted parsimony is n-.t synonymous with wise econo
my. Nor are we to limit our policy by the boundaries ot
the present hour. Results are with the future; and ‘'e
must look, with patient expectation, for time to prove the
value of all our eu.erprises, ana to remunerate expenditures
for their prosecution. We act for those who are to follow
us. In every succeeding moment of the present, our con
duct involves the welfare of future generations. Vie are
amenable to posterity, under the highest sanctions that can
iudueuee an organized community. The patriotism ot our
common constituency is equal to any contribution which
1 may be levied upon their labor and property, it they see that
it comports with sound economy, is demanded by the pub
lic wood, suggested by a wise forecast, and that it exacts
from each, in proportion to his ability to pay. Be these
our landmarks in raising and disbursing money.
The relation between the General and btate <-*overn
ments points out the rule of strict construction ot the Con
stitution ol the United States, as the polar star tor the one
whilst the nature of the Federal compact indicates, with
equal clearness, the duty of obedience, on the part ot the
other, to constitutional laws. It i* the perfection of Amen

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1853
To the Southern States the observance ot this rule is es
;pe dally important. The institution of domestic slavery is
, peculiar to them. Jt is a part ot their social, as well as
j their political structure. It is recognized and protected by
| the Constitution. It must not be touched by Federal en
j crcachment. Thaagitation and heart-burning of the past
must suffice—certainly so far as Georgia is concerned.—
i r or, in acquiescing in the “ Compromise Measures” of 1850,
j she has disiinctly put tho Federal Government and its au
] thorities upon terms. She has said ,it must be a final set
tlement; that agitation must cease; that the “Fugitive
] Slave Law ’ must be faithfully executed. She has said
IT, AND SUE INTENDS TO STAND BY HER OATH.
| Senators and Representatives, the interests of Georgia,
and her future welfare, so far as it depends upon ouraction,
are entrusted to us for the ensuing two years, by a confiding
constituency. In the execution of our solemn trust, let us
be animated by a spirit of conciliation and harmony ; and
in every measure adopted, let all other feelings be merged
into patriotic devotion to the public good.
In performing the part assigned me, under the Constitu
! tion and laws, I cannot expect to avoid error; but I hope
not to deserve censure [shall intend to do right, even, it
from imperfection ofjudgement, I should do wrong.
May God bless Georgia, and may His wisdom direct the
deliberations of her guardians.
