Hie changes which have taken place in the courfe of the year in the departments of ftate and war, may poflibly have oc cafioned this filence : It would, however, have been particularly pleafant to me to hae been enabled at the opening the felhon, to inform you that meafures were taken for the extenfion of this line, agree ably to the hopes and expectations of . the lad afTembly. . 4 Thc refignation of Judge. Mopre. which was formally made . known to me in the month of January laft, next necef frily claimed the attention of the Chief Magiitrate. The council were conrened nibe 'month of February, and advifed the appointing Samuel Johnfon, of Mr rin county, toEU the vacancy on the B:nch, occafiosed by the 1 refign-non or Mr. Moore. This gentleman I commif uoned accordingly. He accepted 'the ap pointment, and has difcharged the dat?es of it in a manner, I doubt not, honour ible to himfelf, 'and beneficial to the niinfrv. On the nth of January laft, I offered to Major Purviance, the appointment of pub lic agent for the purpofe cf collecting tef iimony to be ufed againft the perfons har ed by the late commifltoners with hav ing committed frauds in the land office, $zc. He accepted the appointment n fche 14th of the lime montli, and conti lued to acl under ir until the 2pthof March, when Se refgn?d. On the refig uatiort of Mr. Purviance, tw appointment - : . . he leeifiafure inithat cafe pro vi.'fXl trVw'b- 'rrffifihfir'pd as above va notv on thxt touatV thought advii ! iTible to make iiiiv bther .and further- ap- qpintntenl of public sgent.w About th "lAf- of this rnnrr . ths 1 urifinifhed bufin fiefs in Wnich the itatelwas. concerned, was poifooncd and ordered to the fry era! diftricr,co'urls' in which the parties accu- ed rtu It, ai, tne c-iiiinz ot- a': court or Oyer, otlirjthau the one then Pa "id not apear to j me ; warranted by the law, njrwzs u perhaps neiiafy : i From the meafures adope, and the appoiniments made by tne legUhture and my predecefibrs i offije, ,1 held it ray duty to prefs the nxing andextending the boundary Uine betweetrNorth and South Carolina ; aria atcrQrfffgly qn the 25th January, 1 rote, Hiiummg tne Guer- por of Sputhj-Carolina,' that commnhon ers on the part of this ftate, would meet on the r-Sth day of Mrch then next en fuing, for the purpofe above-mentioned, on the Wachaw cre4;, and at the place where the former commiftioncrs ended their work, and fubmittiag to him the propriety of appointing commiffioners oft the part of that ftate, to attend and fee that the obfervations were accurately ta ken, aud the lines properly rua and mar ked. My letter to. the Governor of South Carelina, led to a correfpondence on this fubiedt,.whicH will be found recorded, & which lam forry to be uader the necefti-' tv of obfervirigr ' does not evidence a fin- I- cle trait of accommodating difpofitionon the part of the Executive ot that ltate ; on the contrary fo very much is the re verfe, that our-tommiflioners have been forbidden to crofs the reputed boundary, or enter the ftate, on the bufinefs afore faid, at their peril, and at till risk of be ing perfonally maltreated by the military power. Such beinnhe-cafe, it. appear ed to me ad viable to p :pone the meet ing of the corrim'-filsners, and yet longer to defer this intending and .KecelTary bu iinefs, rather than commit the dignity of the ftate, and risk the becoming involved ;vith a filter ftate, in a quarrel fo unfeem ly and fo unbecoming. U-ndir this im preffion, I couuteniandd the orders gi ven to the commifhaners! and wrote to the Governor of South-Carolina, as will be ?en in our correfpondence on that bead. It remains, therefore, for this ge nera1 afiembly to take fuch order, and to make fuch provifions in this regard, as to them (ball feeui beft to comport with the rights, peace, and dignity of the ftate.
