4 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.
