MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR TROUP.-1he Le-
&fislature of Georgia convened on the 9th instant.
The inauguration Of Mr. Forsyth took place on INC
9Th. On the 9th Governor Troup transmitted his
Message, the leading topics Of which we have endra-
yored to Gull from the five columns il ILLS in the Sa-
vannah Georgian.
One of these is occupied with complaints against
the General Governments on the old subject OF the
Treaty Of Indian Springs. "Atter the surveys says
the Governor, .of the territory acquired by 1t, had
proceeded without interruption. and nothing remain
ed but to satisfy the Indian fer his imaginary acrong
with little money the Executive Government at
Washington seized the occasion to dcnouncc the
Executive of Georgia a vloator of the lath OF
treaties " &c. Here follows much about the INVASION
of the rightso of Georgia by the general governmental
the noble resistance OF Georgia: and her detcrmlna
ton rather to leave the Unon.than to yield title of
her opinions, or even, suppose, to have therjns-

General Government has given Georgia no oppnr-
tuniyy to be SO rash The country Of the Greeks he

measures for getting that OF the Cherokees lkewlse
measure, he adds with his usual force Of log'c.
which whoever opposes, is an enemy OF the Chero-
KEGS and quite ignorant Of their interests. The
memorial Of the Georgia Legislature to the Presi-
dent on this subject, has not, it yet received
an answer.
Another subject ofdisagreement between the Uni
ted States and Georgia, is the boundary line betwce:
that state and Florida BY the Treaty Of Spain il
1895. and various other documents, the source of st
Mary's river male the true point of the southern
boundary Of the State. The Commissioners appoint
ed to run the line conformably, mstook the northern
branch of the S.. Mary's terminating in OkeiaNok
Swamp, for the principal stream. which is to be oun
in fact 50 considerably to the suuthward OF the po

ernors "great reluctance TO open new conrnyers
with the United States" induces him to state hi
views on this matter. at some length. He cnuara
ulates Georgia the recognition at length of he
militia claims and the repayment OF her advance
for the defence Of the frontier against the hrea
hsstiIities Of the Indians, and Tor the running Of til
Florida line.
