maintain our rights, or voluntarily abandon j
them. Whatever action, ifany, you may think ; '
it prudetit and proper to take, will receive my i
sanction. *'
Copies of the Reports of the Commtnission- a
era of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and of the i
Trustees of the Lunatic Asylum, aro here- ’
with laid before you. '
These reports shew that both of these In- t
atitutions. have been managed with ability and J
eminent success. To every philanthropic t
mind these contributions by our State to sut- '
Wring humanity, must be regarded as a source <
of just pnde.They exhibit, in a wonderful man- <
ner, the achievement of science over the heavi- >
•st afflictions, that befall our species. Found- I t
•d, as they are, in the warmest sympathies of t |
our nature, it will be the aim, doubtless, of the r
Legislature, to afford to each institution liber- e
a) means to enlarge and improve the sphere r
of its usefulness. In such works of charity, 1
proposing and seeking the relief of the most t
unfortunate —I know of no limit to recom- <
mend to your appropriations but to explore the I
field of operation for the advancement of each |
institution, consult your ability, and if it will ;
not take vou to the most distant boundary, you I
could des'ire, be found on the road as far thith- i
•r a sa proper regard for other great interests
will justify you in going.
The Militia laws of the State are
•nd the failure under them, to inspire officers
and privates with a proper military spirit, has
been so often brought to the attention of dif
ferent Legislatures, by those that have preced
ed me, that the subject is now alluded to with a
misgiving of the adoption of any system that
will give efficiency to our militia force. If it
be desirable, to impart to the whole or a por
tion of our people capable of bearing arms,
that knowledee of their use which will enable
them to perform good service for the State in
the hour of need, some other than the present
plnn of organization and training should be
adopted.
1 suggest that the whole of our population, '
subject toperform military duty.be divided in
to three classes—each of which to be trained
and disciplined for a period of six years, and
subject, at a moment’s warning, to be called
into service by the proper authority, and then
to be exempted from all duty until all the clad
es bad served a tour in like manner, except in
ease of insurrection or actual war.
Should you adopt this course, or any anala
gous one, it should be followed by a perfect
•quipment of arms, suitable to the different de
scriptions of service that might be required.
The plan suggested cannot claim any advan
tage over the present organization, unless the
whole process of training and disciplining is
placed under the control of experienced and
competent officers. To accomplish all this,
would be attended with some expense. The
offisvra selected to impart the necessary in
struction, would have tube paid, and to result
• in much good, the encampment and protracted
driris would, in many instances, be onerous on
the poor man, dependent on his daily labor for
support, and some allowance, in the way of
defraying actual expenses, would seem proper
for them. The details necessary to carry out
the plan proposed, are confided to your judg
ment. As every able bodied citizen is bound
to contribute to the state in service, as well as
money, his due quota, the total exemption from
•II military duty for twelve years m the plan
proposed, except under the casualty referred
to would compensate, in a great measure, for
the extra toil and labor of the term of service
proposed; while, oh the other hand, more reli
•neecould WTplaced upon one third of the ef
fective force, thoroughly trained, for prompt
' and immediate action, than upon the whole un
der the present organization.
In governments where the popular will is
sonsulted upon questions affecting the public
'weal, it is deemed of great moment to attain
this object in a manner as free as possible
from all undue influence and irritating excite
ment. Under our free institutions especially,
it is expected of every individual, in the exer
cise of the right of suffrage, that he will be go
verned by reason rather than prejudice, by pa
triotism rather than by partisan zenl. Nor
should we be unmindful that upon each voter
jests the responsibility of deciding for himself
questions of a political character touching the
welfare of the state. No man, whatever his
condition may lie, can claim exemption in this
respect; each individual is a component part
of the state, and while it is a privilege, it is ne
vertheless a duty resting npon every good citi
zen, to act npon his own judgment for the best
interest u£ the whole.
Whatever, therefore, can bo accomplished
bv yon in the way of reforming existing abuses,
you will doubtless undertake.
Purity in elections, after nil that can be
achieved by wholesome legislation, may not
be attainable until the public mind is brought
to exert a salutary moral influence over the
•übject; but this should not discourage you ;
»n evil certainly exi- ts—corruption is seen at
•ach returning election.—A suitable appliance
♦f money, if not at present, may, at no distant
day, bo regarded as the conclusive argument
in favor of the pretensions of one candidate
for popular favor, and against those of another
arrainstone set of principles, and in favor of
another.
Will, or can, or should a government liable
to bo controlled by such corrupting influences,
command the esteem and confidence of the
good and virtuous 7
What becomes of the boasted equality be
tween the poor and the rich for popular favor,
if this demoralizing agency of an appeal to the
pocket is not arrested ?
You will readily perceive that the poor,
though worthy and meritorious, will be ex
cluded,and the wealthy, alone, will obtain high
places of honor and profit. When this is the
result, you may expect bad laws, and, if the
thing bo possible, a worse administration of
them. With the hope that this disease is not
constitutional, but merely local in its character,
■o far aa our State is concerned, 1 would '
suggest one or two of a scries of remedies,:
which, if adopted, would do much in arresting
the further progress of the malady.
By the cons'ituiion of the State it is provt-i
ded : "In all elections by the People, the elect
ors shall vote viva voce until tho Legislature I
•hall otherwise dirqpt.” The act of the 4tli I
of December, 1799, provided that all future
j<lecdona by the People, should be by ballot, i
The repeal of this act would revive the mode !
•f voting prescribed by the constitution, which
would, it is believed, contribute largely in
tho correction of many evils that now exist.
All temptation to deceive by false promises
•nd pledges never intended to be redeemed,
with many other vices atteminm on voting by
ballot, if not entirely removed, would be of!
)••• frequent occurrence, tn proportion as the
chances for detection are increased by the one I
mod.- I :h< Other.
It ts also recommended, that it be made the
dale of the Circuit Judges, to give in special
charge to tire Grand Juries of the respective
cent-,ios, lite substance ol snch Statutes as im
ports penalties lor illegal voting, or buying or
scllm's votes. T.et suitable provision be made
for the enforcement of the Statutes now in
force, or otherwise repeal them.
Indeed, all oaths required by law, and all
penalties affixed for their violation, whether in
the shape of fines, forfei ures, or disqualification
for office, had bettor be repealed, if they are
not to lie rigidly enforced. Where the first
•up nhvuld be taken, will readily occur to you.
It ia believed that outlaws regulating the
•claries of the different officers of the State,
require revision.
As a general rule, it may be assumed as
•eund economy that the State should secure
the best services at the lowest reasonable com
pensation ; but, is it true, that low salaries
Mcure, in every instance the requisite qualifi
cations T True economy consists more, in
••curing the efficient and faithful discharge of
public duty, titan in the mere saving to the
State of the difference between reasonable and
Inadequate compensation. “ The laborer is
worth? of his hire,” is a sound principle of;
the highest authority,—and embodies the ele
. Brent* of true economy, as well as natural'
the cheapest to the public; it is the
■kt faithful, able, and efficient discharge of
Hublie duties; that is the cheapest in the end;
Rl icthis the public are willing to pay for; and
aaything short of this, no matter at what
price,in dollars and cents, it may be obtained,
co far as the public is concerned, is the most
•jtravagant salary that is paid.
The true policv for yon to pnrsne, is to affix
to *sch office such salary, or perquisite, as will .
command high qualifications, pure character,
■nd business habits, and to hold all officers to
toe moet rig d discharge of duty, nnder suitable ;
penalties aod disabilities.
This done and you will have laid the founds- 1
lion, of a system which if carried out in all
its ramifications, must be productive ol happy
results in elevating the character ot our State
and people, by lessening, if not entirely arrest
ing the scramble for office known to exist in
some sections of the Union, and the germ of
which may take root in our own soil, if it has
not already done so. The salaries of the
Judges of the Supreme and Circuit courts,
the State House officers, and especially the
Secretaries ot the Executive Department, the
officers of the State Road, as well as some
of the officers connected with the Penitentiary
may well claim your attention. They should,
at least.be equalized, so as to bear somejnst
proportion to the character of the labor both
mental and physical, performed. No officers
engaged in the public service, are entitled to
more consideration at your hands, than the
Secretariesof the Executive Department; their
duties are not only onerous, but often Compli
cated, and none but men es mind and business
habits, can discharge them with safety to the
public or satisfaction to the Executive; and
yet their salaries are six hundred dollars less
than those of the other officers connected with
the State House; for this inequality there can
be no sufficient reason assigned.
By law, no salary is fixed for Messenger to
this Department, and yet such an officer has
been found necessary by my predecessors, and
paid out of the contingent fund. For this of
ficer provision should be made, and his salary
fixed by law ; as it cannet be regarded expedi
ent tor the Executive to be charged with the
expenditure of money, except in cases not
foreseen, and for which, therefore, no provi
sion can be made.
In recurring to the sources of our improve
ment, none is more striking than the establish
ment of a Supreme Court for the correction of
Errors in Law. While its present organiza
tion may in some respects be defective, the abil
ity and integrity of the Court is a sure guaran
tee of its f uture usefulness. Uniformity and
, certainly in the administration of the law pro
duce, in the breast of the good citizen, a strong
confidence that the rights of all will be protect
ed and justice fully administered, which is
greatly conducive to the peace, good order, and
moral advancement of society. In view, how
ever, of the increasing labor that is likely to
devolve upon the Court, it may well be consid
ered whether the interests of parties, as well
as justice to the Judges, do not suggest the
propriety of diminishing the number of places,
at which it is now necessary to hold the court,
to the number prescribed in the constitution —
and thereby convert the time now occupied in
travelling to different points, to the more de
sirable object of investigating and deciding,
complicated and grave questions of law.
The law setting apart the second Monday
in January biennially for the election of clerks
of the Court of Ordinary, has been produc
tive of inconvenience in practice, and, in
some instances, given rise to embarrassing
questions for the decision of the Executive.
It is obvious that every 4th year, when the
Justices of tho inferior Court are elected, they
may, in counties lying contiguous to the seat
of government, be qualified under the law to
enter upon the duties of their office on or be
fore tho second Monday of January, and would
therefore, it is believed, have the sqje power of
electing the clerk of the Court of Ordinary
while the justices in counties remote from the
seal of government, would be less likely to be
qualified, and the duty of electing the clerk
might devolve on the old court.
The rule should be uniform throughout the
State, and a day fixed in February or March,
that would secure to the new court the elec
tion of its clerk; —or what would be still
more desirable, this election should be referred
directly to the people, as in the case of the
clerks of the Superior and inferior Courts.
From a communication, directed to me by
George L. Deming, Secretary and Treasurer
of tho Board of Commissioners appointed un
der the authority of an act of the General as
sembly, passed in 1836, appropriating SIO,OOO
for the improvement of the navigation ot the
Oconee river, it appears that there is an unex
pended balance in his hands of $2,298,39,
which he proposes to return to the Treasury,
upon the passage of a law, or joint resolution,
directing him to do so. I iecommend, with
great pleasure, prompt action by you in accord
ance with the proposition of the said Secy,
and Treasurer—a copy of whose communi
cation, accompanied by an account current, is
I herewith laid before you.
The necessity fora new and revised Digest
! of the Statute laws of the Slate, combining
method in the arrangement of the subjects
with accuracy, has been long felt; a work of
this character is not only desirable but abso
lutely necessary. The labor of executing this
task hns been undertaken by Thomas R. R.
Cobb, Esqr., it is proposed to bring the com
pilation down to the present time, with copi
ous and full notes of all decisions made by the
I Supreme Court upon each statute. To the
1 different Officers of the State and the general
1 reader of such a work, if it proves to be what
; 1 believe it will, would be invaluable. The
known ability of Mr. Cobb for this undertak
! ing, the advantages he possesses as State Re
: porter, his industry and his familiarity with
the law, furnish strong guarantees of his suc
cess in the contemplated enterprise.
I would therefore recommend that provi
sion be made for the appointment of a com
mittee to examine the work when completed,
and that authority be given to the Executive,
if it should be approved by tho committee, to
take a sufficient number of copies to supply
the different officers of the State—and that an
appropriation be made for that purpose.
During the last session, a resolution passed
both branches of the Legislature, as appears
from the journals, directing the Governor to
appoint a Committee to examine the manuscript
work of Mr. George White, upon the statis
tics of the State. Thia resolution from some
cause, unknown to this Department, never
reached it, and consequently failed to receive
my assent. Whether or not this casualty
may not have resulted in injury to Mr. White,
which this Legislature should repair, is res
pectfully submitted to your consideration.
From information lodged in this pepartment, |
it is believed that the county of Cass has in- I
curred heavy expenditures in providing for the i
comfort and protection of a number of her
citizens who were attacked with Small-pox, j
and in preventing the spread of the disease as
far as possible. Where a calamity so great
has fallen upon the citizens of a county, in
view of the derangement of ql] business pur
suits that ensues, and the distress of mind
that more or less communicates itself to the
surrounding community, previous Legislatures
have deemed it proper to make a suitable ap
prouriaiion from the Treasury for the relief of J
-Uhe ennnty,—X’Aa anhlerf ia,iiiU>e»i»eJtoynur
consideration, with the belief that u liberal
provision will be made for the relief of that
county, worthy of the sympathy of the State
for the severe visitation upon a portion of her
citizens.
Under a resolution of the last General as
sembly, directing me “to appoint three suits
i ble persons as n Committee to enquire into the
1 state of Education in Georgia, to report to the
! present Legislature on the operation of the
present Poor School law, and to recommend
any alteration in the same that may seem ad
i visable, and for other purposes," the Hon. A.
H. Chap pel, Bishop Elliott, and Dr. Leonidas !
B. Mercer, were appointed.
The hope is entertained, that the report of,
j the Committee will be made to you, as con- ;
templated by the resolution. The subject
is one of vast importance, and I trust will en- :
gage a liberal share of your consideration.
Feeling however, that by the terms of the '
resolution, it was intended to obtain informa- ,
i tion from the committee, rather than the Ex- j
i ecutive, to that source I respectfully com- ■
| mend you.
I felt it my duty to withhold my approval of
two acts of the last General Assembly and f
one resolution which are herewith transmitted (
to the respective branches of the Legislature
in which they originated, with my objections
to each.
The latv giving jurisdiction to the Inferior !
Court in the trial of slaves for capital offence",
is believed to be offensive. The Justices of:
this Court are usually selected from the citi- .
zens of the respective counties, without spe
cial reference to their local attainments : and i
to impose upon them the responsibility of de- ; t
ciding complicated and vexed questions of, I
law involving human life, is, to my mind, un- :
just to them as a Court, and not the moat reli
able mode of attaining the ends of justice by i
a fair trial in the duo course of law. It is s
therefore respectfully recommended that in the f
trial of slaves and free persons of eolor, for f
all offences declared capital, jurisdiction be I
given to the Superior Court, and that such I
modification of existing laws be made, as this i
change of jurisdiction will require.
In this connection, it may be well consider
ed whether the 12th Section of the 13th Di
vision of the Penal Code, in relation to cruel
treatment of slaves by their owners, should not
be amended. The object of the Legislature,
by the passage of the section in question, was
doubtless to protect the slave from cruel treat
ment upon tho part of the owner or authorised
agent, and the - hits instances of the violation
of the 1., 'e . are, yet, it must be conced
ed that cot. rations v.lii seldom be had un
der it, so unguarded is th" language employed
in defining the offmcj. In every contest in
volving the treatment of the master to his slave
the advantage of the former over the latter is
1 parent, and hence the propriety, if it is in
t :ided to carry out this humane policy by im
j sing penalties on the owner,authorized agent
< stranger, who may be guilty of this offence
t define with accuracy the treatment which
b. all be regarded as cruel, as well as the evi
dence which should authorize a conviction.
In the present excited state of the public
mind upon the subject of slavery, throughout
the Union, it is believed to be the duty of the
Legislature to review previous legislation upon
the subject, and so modify and change the
same as to demonstrate to the world, that
while we are actuated by a humane and Chris
tian policy in protecting this portion of our
population by wholesome laws, wo will by
equally salutary provisions, however rigorous
the necessity of the case may require, enforce
perfect subordination with the slave, and in
flict the most exemplary punishment upon
those who seek, within our jurisdiction, to in
terfere with onr domestic policy.
It is worthy of consideration whether the
punishment for negro stealing should not be
made capital. Its frequent occurrence of late
by persons from other States, admonishes us
that strong measures should bo adopted to ar
rest the evil. Those guilty of this nefarious
crime within our limits must be made to feel
the vengeance of the law. Let onr policy be
marked with kindness to the slaves, but terror
to him who dares invade the citizen’s right of
property in them.
Under ordinary circumstances, I should ab
stain from introducing any topic not strictly
local in its character ; but there aro great and
paramount interests, enjoyed by us in common
with a portion of the States of the confederacy,
which require constant vigilance and great
moral firmness to protect from Federal en
croachments.
When aggression from this quarter is per
petrated, er the danger imminent, the execu
tive should communicate the same to the Re
preservatives of the People, in terms of be
coming forbearance and moderation, and srrg*
gest the adoption of such measures as the
public interest demands.
A fell spirit of blind and infuriated fanatic
ism, ever turbulent and disorganizing in its
tendency, lias displayed itself, to a greater or
less extent, in most, if not all, ot the non
slaveliolding States of the Union, on the ques
tion of slavery.
Contemptible as we regarded this spirit np
on its first development, we have reached the
point, in a few years, when it may be assumed
as incontrovertibly true, that a controlling ma
jority of the voters in most, if not all, the non
slaveholding States, are hostile to the institu
tion of slavery ; nor is it to be disguised that
the abolitionists, under the new name of the
“ Freesoil Party,” are resolved, by every
means that wicked hearts can devise, to tor
ture, annoy, and harrass the slaveholder, until
the institution itself is abolished, or the value
of the slaves destroyed, unless we arrest it.
As a proof of the ultimate design of these fa
natics, may be mentioned the formation of as
sociations, known as “Abolition Societies,”
from which they fulminate the coarsest abuse,
and issue the most inflammatory addresses, re
solutions, and reports, stigmatizing the citi
zens of the slaveholding Stales as heartless
brutes, merciless tyrants, unscrupulous task
masters, and odious dealers inhuman flesh;
—in fine, they have found no epithet too harsh,
or slander too gross to heap upon tho South
and its institutions
Not content with this, they have of late as
sumed a bolder tone, and thrown off all dis
guise. Under their new organization of the
“ Freesoil Party,” they have asserted with
consummate effrontery, that slavery shall
never exist in the present or future territories
of the United States; and beyond its present
. limits it shall not be extended, and therefore
, virtually claiming to appropriate to the exclu
[■ sive use of the non-slaveholding States and
. their citizens the territories now held, or here
, after to be acquired, by the United States. In
accordance with these views, they have,
through their Representatives from those
States, introduced and passed, in the House of
Representatives of the United States, that no
, torious measure, known as the " Wilmot
I Proviso. ”
Nor have they stopped at thisone aggres
sion is quickly succeeded by another—and we
. have seen the deliberate effort made in Con
. gross to abolish slavery in the District of Co
! Ittmbia, atit! the slave trade between the sever
al States where slavery now exists. Whether
the passage by Congress of these several mea
sures, or any one of them considered separate
ly, would justify the Southern States in adopt
ing immediate fjjeajures for their preservation,
or not, there can be no doubt that it would be
the true policy to pursue, when we recollect
that in many of the Northern States, by Sta
tute and the current of their judicial decisions,
in open violation of an express provision of
the constitution of the United States, the own
er is prevented from reclaiming bis fugitive
slave.
While wrongs should be endured for a sea
son, rather than resort to extreme measures,
about the propriety of which reasonable minds
might dimer, 1 cannot, itoweyer perspade my
self that our safety, or honor, will permit the
perpetration of another additional aggression
to the list of wrongs so long and patiently
borne from the North. Let facts be stated, J
and the unprejudiced decide. As free and in
: dependent States the compact of Union was
I formed, conflicting interests between the se-
I veral States, had to be reconciled; concession
| was, therefore, inevitably; the South yielded to
; the North, and the North to the South; sla
very had io be protected and secured to the '
South, or otherwise no Union could have been j
formed. This was done, and the constitution ■
ratified; peace, prosperity, and strength grew I
out of the Union; every portion of the country, ;
North, Bast, and West, was prosperous and
■ prospering; the South made no encroachment i
on the North; no murmuring was heard from ;
I us at the-eoupessiep? in favor of its interests; |
i-but the fell spirit entnes, and the iratow isarpus- j
[ ed from its repose by the North suddenly spring
I ing upon us an alarming and agitating ques- i
‘ tion. Slavery is discovered to be a great moral
i and political evil, in that quarter, so soon as it
became their interest to abolish it and though
it may cost blood and tears, and forever sever I
the Union, the agitators boldly proclaim that
their work is onward. They commenced firs’ I
by agitating the public mind, alarming the ti- '
mid, and arousing the ambitious—associations
were formed, professedly to relieve the land of
I a great moral defer nity, that end, as might
i have been foreseen, in a political party, which
| obtaining power, first seeks to abuse it.
' The constitution which declares, that “No
I person held to service or labor in one State,
■ under the laws thereof, escaping into another,
shall in consequence of any law or regulation
therein, be discharged from such service or
] labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the
t party to whom such service or labor may be
, due,” is wholly disregarded, and several of the
: States have passed laws virtually nullifying it. '
1 The slave-holder can no longer look to the Con- j
! slitution as the charter, of his rights; his slave
1 is abducted, or feloniously stolen, and carried
t to a non-slave-holding State; he pursues it with
I the consciousness of an honest man, holds up
i the evidence of his title in one hand, and the
I constitution in the other; he pleads for justice
and constitutional right; the Judge tfiat tries
1 his case, is sworn to support the Constitution !
!of the United States—but that Judge, with the
smile of the hypocrite and the curse of per-!
jury in his threat, solemnly adjudges that pro
perty cannot exist in the slave, and the owner
is insultingly turned from the bar of justice
amidst the derision and scoffing of the multi- ;
tude, and your constitution lies prostrate under
the iron heel of a corrupt judiciary. j
This is an epitome of the wrongs perpetrated
upon us. Is it true or false? Have not
several of the Northern States passed laws ,
prohibiting our citizens from reclaiming thai ,
fugitive slaves ? Have they not, time an /
again, refused to deliver, on the demand of I
the Executwe demand of the Southern States, ; <
fugitives from justice charged with negro .
stealing ? stubborn facts, that j <
should cotne homqpto all. Robbed of your «
slave property the power oi redress, , ’
opposed by brute force in asserting your 1
rights, your criminal laws violated, your cover- '
eignty outraged, your peace and quiet dis- ; j
turbed, your good name delamed, and lastly ;
you are told, byway of giving point and I
anguish to the feeling of wrongs already iu- '
flicted, that you are not to participate, on 1
equal terms with the other States of the Union, ,
in the common property of all.
I» it, Representatives, for this, that our fa
thers struggled in deadly conflict 1 Was it for
such an Union as this, the sages and patriots,
many of whom breasted the storm of Revolt!- i i
tion, formed the constitutional compact ? Was i
it designed that the States should not have
tho power of deciding, each for itself, what ,
should, or should not be property —or was ,
it intended that any party or faction in this i
country, whether Free-soil, or known by any .
other name, might violate the most vital pro- |
vision of the constitution, so far as tho South :
is concerned, with impunity? Feeling, as I I
do, the incalculable value of the Union, in that
purity of equality handed down to us by the j
great apostles of liberty that formed it; enter- j
taining with ardor and sincerity, a feeling _of
horror at all attempts by on section of the Un
ion to violate the rights of another; and cher
ishing the spirit of liberty and equality, actual ,
and positive, in government, above and far
beyond unequal laws and odious oppression,
I may ba pertmtted here to reaffirm the senti
ments with which I went before the People of
. the State, in the late election, as containing
my opinion that further aggression is not to be
i endured, and, if attempted by the Federal Go
r vernmeut, must be repelled, all amicable
) means being first exhausted, by all the power,
1 moral and physical, at the command of the
- State. • .
, With the confident belief mat the opinions
I here expressed, accord strictly with those of
s the great body of our constituents, I leel it
r my duty to ask of you the passage of an act
f investing the Executive with the authority to
convoke a convention of the people of the
- State to take into consideration the measures
t proper for ti.eir safety and preservation, in the
j event of the passage of the Wilmot Proviso,
a or other kindred measure, by the Congress of
, the United States. Relying upon the purity
t of our motives, and feeling deeply impressed
- with the magnitude of the duties that devolve
upon us, let us be ever mindful that our
- strength and capacity for usefulness come
- alone from that Being, whose favor is success,
- whose aid is omnipotence.

SALE OF LOTS IN THE TOWN OF
OGLETHORPE.
THE undersigned, being the owner of about
600 acres of Land, West of Flint river, on
which the South-Western Rail road will, for the
prese it, and perhaps for many years to come. ter
minate, will soon have'it surveyed and divided into
Lots of suitable size for business and private resi
dences, and will offer them for sale, at public out
cry on the premises, on the 16TH DAY OF
JANUARY NEXT.
The site of the contemplated town is in iMacon
county, about two miles above Traveller’s Regt,
upon high, dry and elevated pinq with good
pure watpr, hrue. On the West side
of ihe River there is but a narrow strip of second
low ground, entirely free from marshes and la
goona.
The plan of the town will soon be lithographed
and copies distributed in the principal tqwns and
cities of the State, fur inspection by those who
may wish to purchase lots. An act of incorpo
ration, under th? name of tho town of Oglethorpe,
will be applied lor at the approaching session of
the Legislature. It is now certain that the Rail
road will be completed tolhat pointtime for
the crop of 1850 The grading is progressing
rapidly, and the iron for the Road as far im Ogle
thorpe is contracted for, to be delivered in Savan
nah uext January.
The attention of capitalists, and of all w
may wish to share in the business which w i
spring up in a place where at least 70,000 bales of <
cotton will be sold annually, is respectfully invit
;cd to the sale of the lots as above specified. An ,
J inspection of the map will&how that it is the point j
I where the business of the great cotton-growing
I section of Georgia will concentrate. It will be a
trade worth contending for. Not only will the
counties West of Flint River now furnish annual? i
|ly 70.008 baleg of CQtton to qh|i p*d irom Ogle
j ihorjjo, but ihe upening of a Rail road to that
• point will bring that important and growing sec- ,
’ tion of Georgia into close proximity to a market
( for their produce, and will be the means of bring
j ing into cultivation thousands of acres of land
now lying idje, and thus the quantity of cotton j
produced there will be greatly increased.
The terms of the sale will be liberal, being one- |
fourth cash, and the remainder in two equal i
stalments of one and two The titles will ’
