proyement in the MODE Of taxation with view to an
equalization Of the public burdens.
The militia lava have fallen into general dlsuse 10
spite Of every Effort to revive and enforce them aud
the Governor proposes that the militia be dsbapded by
asuspersion of the present aws,hs, this suspension
continue until the COMMANDMENTS Chief shall judge that
there ID necessity for their revival and that,
while encouragement be given 10 the formation Of
volunteer companies. The Governor also recommends
that 1T Testimonials DO awarded to the of Georgia
who have distinguished themselves In the conflict with
Mexico.
The completion Of the Western and Atlantic Railroad
is urged as Of the highest importance. The produc.
tons Of the country through which il passes have 10.
creased In quantity aud value, and by 1t new CONNER
cal relations have been established aud socis inter-.
happily promoted. 1t 10 important and
sary ok The chsn of internal improvement that IL
connect the Southern Atlantic ports with the middle
valley of the Mississippi River. The road has been
opened already distance Of one hundred miles. and
the profits during the last year have been j7 200
80 Forty miles Of the road will complete GeOrgis's
part Of this great Improvement which ii lie thought can
b. done for $4,000.
On the subjec, of Manufactures and the Dyersi6cs-
ton Of Industry Gov Crawford expresses himself in
language which indicates that has given these sub.
jsc,s careful attention and that right views rapidly
extending at the South. he says:
To any crest extent the foreign market cannot be
relied unless In the supposed Of deficiency Of
food. The most uniform customers will be found
among those who dyersiiyiDg the Industry of the
State. by the establishment of manufactures BY in
creating the number Of these the agricultural produc
lions OF the state will be also increased, and In great
measure consumed at home. IL s then respectfully
submitted. whether the fostering care and rberslity
that have been exhibited by the State her works OF
internal transportation may not be extended to the
cOursgement and growth of the mechanical arts
The great defect is the want OF diversity In our
labor Ii has been concentrated the rearing of
great staple which with the contributions OF other Sttcs
of like production hss through series OF years
cumusted 10 the markets Of the world, scarcely 10
leave to the planter remunerang profits In the mean
time al eHnhubiuS system Oh
soil less productive.
Firmly convinced that the amount Of labor as now
and heretofore directed 10 ths State is greatly dspro
por,onae 10 the other Industrial processes of life and
its tendency is TO decline and ultimate decay would
suggest ss remedy the incorporation Of manufacturing
companies, with the most liberal charters The grant
of these cannot DjurOusy affect other interests but 90
the contrary promote them.
The charters will be- Inducements 10 new Investments
and as they may divert capital and labor from other
empoyments especially from Agriculture to that xtent
the psnter viii be removed from competition that has
been dragging down the price OF his staples
Like ali the great works of internal Improvement the
plan In view contempstes that there should be joint
effort and desperation wise policy will awaken the
Incentives to action, and impose no restraint that Will
retsrd Its progress OF mar It's success.
An exemption from taxation or the imposition OF
small tax for specified number OF years and also an
exemption Of the private property OF the stakeholder
from liability for the debts of the company OF which he
is me Der would la my opinion, conduce 10 the estsb
lshment of extensive manufactures and as conse
qucnce give impulse 10 all the useful mechanical arts
and their train of attendant blessings.
OF these. in paper like this, II can scarcely be ex
peced that should address you at large, except by
suggesting for your consideration scomparson between
those communities, however EXTENDED into STATES I'm
pres Kingdoms In which tue pursuits OF labor are so
diversified supply general wants and those which
confined 10 the production OF lew rich staples 10
the neglect Of the common uecessares OF le-ihe gen
oral effect OF that trade, In which the raw materials are
returned Ia manufactured fabrics at increased prices
VARYING from two TO five hundred per cent and an I'M
partial examination OF the natural advantages In motive
power, climate aud home market.
As an ose, for the exemption Of the private property
Of stockholders from liability for the debts OF msnuiac
turing corporations the Governor recommends that
Incorporated company be required under specific pen
naty to give to each ndeped apprentice the opportunity
of acquiring free of expense to the apprentice the rud
iments Of an English education. On this point he says
In this aspect the plan is frsught with philanthropy
Our educational system h In some respects deficient by
reason of the spsseness of population, and the distance
of pupils from the places OF instruction BY tue proposed
scheme classes will be assembled and the fscilnes OF
mental improvement DO afforded without public aid.
Al the same time the apprentices will be accustomed
10 habits of Industry that reaching the end OF their
apprentice ship they msy 10 forth furnished win the
means of success In life IL IL this combination OF men
tai culture and habits Of bodily labor which has pro
duced the most energetic and successful men oil the
modern age
Socially 1t il worthy of trial If experience may be
presumed 10 teach the same lessons everywhere-lnd

unless we overlook the proofs OF experience In other
States.
The people Of the Eastern States 10 which the me
chancs arts mostly flourish carrying their pursuits
into and impressing in degree their opinions on
every part OF the Union. SO far, then, from creating
class of dependents the may be- affirmed 10 De

furnished its quota of men, who have illustrated inss
