Fix this textIn announcing to the Colonists of His Majesty's Province of South Australia, the establishment of the Government, I hereby call
Fix this textupon them to conduct themselves on all occasions with order and quietness, duly to respect the laws, and by a course of industry and sobriety, by
Fix this textthe practice of sound morality, and a strict observance of the Ordinances of Religion, to prove themselves worthy to be the Founders of a great
Fix this textand free Colony.
Fix this textIt is also, at this time especially, my duty to apprize the Colonists of my resolution, to take every lawful means for extending the same
Fix this textprotection to the NATIVE POPULATION as to the rest of His Majesty's Subjects, and of my firm determination to punish with exemplary
Fix this textseverity, all acts of violence or injustice which may in any manner be practised or attempted against the Natives, who are to be considered as,
Fix this textmuch under the Safeguard of the law as the Colonists themselves, and equally entitled to the privileges of British Subjects. I trust therefore, with
Fix this textconfidence to the exercise of moderation and forbearance by all Classes, in their intercourse with the Native Inhabitants, and that they will emit
Fix this textno opportunity of assisting me to fulfil His Majesty's most gracious and benevolent intentions towards them, by promoting their advancement in
Fix this textcivilization, and ultimately, under the blessing of Divine Providence, their conversion to the Christian Faith.
