From this it will be seen that the leading
idea projected by OglethOrpe in the establish
ment of the colony in Georgia was for the ben
eft of the poor and landless in England, and
also, as will be seen further on, for the relief
of those who were suffering from unjust per-
secutions in other countries on account of
their religious faith.
Allow me to call your attention to another
important part of this charter:

man. or as being member of the said corPo-
ration. And our will and pleasure is, that the
said hereinbefore appointed President, Chair
man or Common Councilman, before he and
they act respectively as such, shall severally
take an oath for the faithful and due eXecu-
tiOn of their trust, to be administered to the
President by the chief Baron of our Court Of
EXchequer, for the time being, and by the
President of said corporation to the rest of

The Address of Governor stephens.
At the conclusion of Gen. Jackson's elO-
quent introduction, Gov. stephens, seat
ed in his chair, was rolled to the front OF
the stage in full view of the immense
audience, amid cheers and enthusiastic
applause, and delivered the following adj
dress:
GeOrgidnS, Ladies, Gentlemen and FelioW-cat
Gems Of sister States, 10hO honor these cerem0-
mics Jy gouy presence, to all a c0rdids 'cetco"ae
is eeteRded.
1t needs no public announcement that this is
no ordinary occasion. These displays, these
professions, this OutpOuring of the people In
YOUR streets. civic and military, these nags,
banners and military array coming from the
mountains to the seabOard, this grand pageant
of svmbOlical representations, all these sur
roundings deeply impress upon the minds of
the old as well as the young, the profound
truth that something of an unusual character
has called the aSSemDldge OF bIHo VAST hluAli-
tu,le 1t is in cOmmemOratiOn of the annlVef-
sary of Georgia's natal day, as well as OF the
founding of tins beautiful and prosperous
city. In the lives of States, cOmmOnwealths
and nations, as in the lives of individuals,
there are important epochs, which from time
immemOrial have been kept in memory ana
perpetuated by proper demonstrations. THESE
epochs in states and nations usually come
along in centuries and half centuries. One cen
tury and half century ago on this day, the
18th of February, 1873, the first settlement OF
the colony of Georgia, which has since be-
come one of the great States of the Federal
Union, which now stands among the foremost
in the nations of the earth, was planted on the
bluff near which we are now assembled. we,
therefore. on this occasion, celebrate the an
niversary of the day Of their landing, as the
descendants of the pilgrims of Massachusetts
celebrate the landing of their fOrefathers on
Plymouth Rock, December 22d, 1920.
Our object on this occasion is to celebrate
and to honor, not only the founders of the col
onv. but the principles upon which our instI-
tuiions were based. When Pericles delivered
his grand historic funeral Grafton over the
Athenians who had fallen in the first year OF
the PelOponesian war, he dwelt mainly upon
the institutions of Athens. civil and military.
for the maintenance of which these patriots
had offered up their lives upon the altar OF
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1883-02-13

their country, and to show to their survivors
and to the world that the cause in which they
had fallen was worthy of the sacrifices made
We might on this occasion compare the in-
stitutions which our fOrefathers framed and
reared with those of Athens, wthz perfect
confidence, that in all that ennoblessmankind,
and secures the highest order of civilization,
ours would suffer nothing by the comparison.
Time does not allow, even if my strength per-
mtted, me to indulge in this comparison. Suf-
flee it to say that we do honor to ourselves In
hOnOring the memories of our forefathers.
Well may Massachusetts honor the name of
Winthrop, New Hampshire her Mason and
GOrges, Connecticut her Davenport, Mary
lany her Lord Baltimore her founder and the
pioneer of religious freedom; Rhode Island
her Roger Williams, who planted his little
colony upon principles of soul liberty in mat
ter of worship; Pennsylvania her renowned
founder William Penn; Virginia of her Mar
tin Frobisher and her romantic and renowned
James Smith; North Carolina OF her Raleigh,
whose name will go down to pOsterity with
imperishable fame. But we of Georgia, with
out disparagement to the founders of the other
colonies of the Union, claim that none stand
higher deservedly in the roll of sublunary i'm
mortality than those who planned, founded,
nurtured and reared the colony of Georgia,
the youngest of the sisterhoOd, the leader and
protector of whichl was James Oglethorpe.
Cicero said: "Neque enim est ullares, lnqua
prOpius ad deorum numen vrtus ac-
cedat humana, guam ciyltates aut
lam cOnditasr-''For there is nothing in
human virtue which more nearly approaches
divine power than in founding new states
and in preserving those already founded"
This is true of Moses Of SOlOn, of Lycurgus
in ancient days, as well as Baltimore, Roger
Williams, Penn and our own OglethOrpe.
Without any disparagement to other founders
of colonies ON this continent, we may justly
claim that OglethOrpe, in all that constitutes
the great warrior, civilian and statesman,
stands head and shoulders above them all.
His colony was founded upon principles very
different from those founded by others.
thorpe, it has been we'll said by Bishop
stevens, one of Georgias ablest historians,
that sit was the first colony ever founded by
charity New England had been settled by
Puritans who fled thither for conscience sake:
New York by a company of merchants and
Adventures in search of gain; Maryland by
Papists retiring from Protestant intolerance;
Virginia by ambitious cavaliers; Carolina by
the scheming and visionary SALISBURY and
others, for private aims and individual ag-
grandsement; but Georgia was planted by
the hand Of benevOlence and reared into being
by the adventurous nurturing of disinterested
charity"
This is strictly true. The founding of GeOr-
gia was prompted manly by benevOlence and
humanity, and the principles on which it was

designated at the time the location was
made. The other streets running north
and south are Barnard, Whitaker and
Bull streets, which probably received their
designation at the same time.
The southern limit of the city was
what is known now as South Broad street,
and the other streets between the river
and South Broad street are easily desig-
mated.
The numbers upon the map are intend
ed to mark the important places in the
city at the time the map was drawn. and
point out the following locations now Oc-
cupied, as follows:

just here it may not be out of place to call
special attention to some of the features OF
the first organic law which may be regarded
the Magma Charta of Georgia, for, from it
have sprung all those achievements of which
we may justly feel so much pride. The
charter was, be it remembered, granted by
George the H., of England, on the 9th day of
June, 1872. Its provisions. however, eman-
ated from our great founder himself and
were inspired by him from beginning to end.
The first section of that charter. which
ought to be thoroughly impressed upon the
minds of all GeOrgians, young as well as old,
ssWHEREAs, We are credibly informed that
many of our subjects are, through msfOrtunes
and want of employment, reduced to great
necessity, inasmuch rs by their labor they are
not able to provide q maintenance for them
selves and families; and if they had means to
defray their charges of passage, and other eX-
penses incident to new settlements, they
would be glad to settle in any of our provinces
in America, where by cultivating the lands at
present waste and desOlate, they might not
only gain a comfortable subsistence for
themselves and families, but also strengthen
our colonies, and increase the traae, naElga-
ton and wealth of these realms. And where
as, our provinces in North America
have been frequently ravaged by
Indian enemies, more especially
by the neighboring savages was laid waste by
fire and sword, and great numbers OF the En-
glish inhabitants miserably massacred, and
our loving subjects who row inhabit there, by
reason of the smallness of their numbers, will,
in case of a new war, be exposed to the like
calamities, inasmuch as their whole Southern
frontier continues unsettled and lieth open
to said savages; and, whereas. we think
it highly becoming our crown and
royal dignity to protect all our loving
subjects, be they never so distant from
us, to extend our fatherly compassion
even to the meanest and most infatuate of our
people, and to relieve the wants of our above
mentioned poor subjects; and that it will be
highly conducive for accomplishing those ends.
that regular colony of the said poor people
be settled and established in the southern
territories of Carolina; and whereas, we have
been well assured that if we would be gra-
ciously pleased to erect and settle corpora
tiOn for the receiving, managing and depOsing
of the contributions of our loving subjects
divers persons would be induced to contribute
to the purposes aforesaid. Know ye, therefore,
that we have, for the consideration aforesaid.
and for the better and more orderly carrying
on the said good purposes of our special grace,
certain knowledge and mere motion,
willed, ordained, constituted and appoint
ed. and by these presents for US, our heirs
and successors, do will, ordain, constitute,
declare and grant, that our right, trusty and
well beloved John Lord NiscOunt Percival, of
