Moreover, there are some considerations growing out of the mode of constituting the Board xtf Directors, pre- scribed by the charter, as sn.eaded by Ken tucky, and the relative sums sutiscfibed in the different Stales, which render its mea sure of obvious prudence on the part of South Carolina, either to procure a niodifi- cation of the charter before she subscribes, or to make conditional subscription. The act of incorporation p.assed by this Stale, provided that three of the twenty- four Directors should be chosen from qual ified Stockholders residing in each of the Stales of North Carolina, South Carolina, rciinessee, Kentucky and Ohio, and that nine should be chosen indifferently from all the Stockholders. The amendment inter polated by Kentucky, provides that six of the Directors shall bo chosen from Stock holders resuming in that State, while only three shall tie chosen from each of the oth er Slates leaviag but six to be chosen in differently from all the Stockholders, This very exceptionable claim of undue power, on the part of Kentucky.becomes absolute ly revi.lting when we advert to the fact, that the entire subscription in llial Slate amounts to less than- 200,00(),and that a«> one person there hassubsciil)ed asufficient number of sliares toqii.ilify uiuilobe chosen a Director! In this stale of things, a Board of Direc tors cannot be organized; and if it could, Kentucky with less than a twentieth part of the Slock, would wield one fourth part of the power of the Company. On the con trary, South Carolina owning five sixtbs^ of the Slock, could iri no event have more than tune Directors. 1 can perceive no equita ble priii'-iple. upon winch the Stockholders of five sixths of the Stock in South Caroli- 11.^1’.shall have only nine Directors, while llie holders of one .sixth of the Slock out of S»)utij Garolma, shall have fifteen 'Phis 13 certainly an unprecedented anomaly in the organiz.ition of corporate powers, and I liiiiik the people of Soulli Carolina h.ave bee.) sufiicieritly admoni.slied, l>y biller ex perience, ol the fatal consequences of hav ing tiieir interests controlled by a foreign and irresjioiissbie [lower, lo make them very cautions in placing the power on one sole, while the interest to be elfected by ills on the other. It we look to tl'.e qiiesfions that will probaOly arise, at the very co'ninenceriieiil ol llie pioposeil work, Hie danger of this s.-j)ir ilio.i of power and responsibility will be obvious. Upon ev),;ry principle, the Koid should commence at Charleston, and proceefi conlimionsly on lowaids its Wes ’.ern termination, at least until the money c.o.iirriuted in South Carolina shall be ex- pcnUed. And yet it will be in the power of Directors out of the Slate, to reverse the oper.itio.'i, .and expend the whole sii:n snh- scrined by the cilizcns of this State, in Ken- tiuky, where so small a sum has been sub- scr lied.

There is another alternative, preferable, in my opinion, even to this. It is to make . ^ the mouth t)f the Nolachucky the W.^stern I he only mode of effecting termination of the Road, which, according t*' the estimates, would reduce the cost of it from twetve to five iniliiuus of dollars, while It would still yield to North Caroli- ni, Tennessee and South Carolina, a very large porl.ou of the advantages that would result from 4he completion of the original scheme. 'Fhe work to this extent could be almost completed witb the Stock already a ' - - —.w~.. itiay iiavc since made in that Conaiiiuiion and these laws, they are mailers wiih which foreign Siaies can have no concern, and of which they have no riglii lo lake cognirince. 1 trust, therefore, that liie Slate of boiiih Carolina will give no counten ance, direci or imlireci, open or concealed, toanv acts which may compromil the neiiiraliiy of ihe United Stales, or bring into question their plight ed faiih. Justice—stern and unbending justice —ill our intercourse vv;;h other Slates, would be paramount to all llie considerations of mere ex |).-liency, even if it were possible that these could b.? separated. But they cannot.—Justice IS the highest expediency, and I am sure South Carolina is the last Siaie in the Union that would koowit.gly violate this sacred canon of poliiii^al morality. If any consideration could add lo the intrinsic weight ot these high ioducemenis to abstain Irom any spscies of interference with ihe diuues- iic atfairs ot a neighboring and friendly State, it Would be the tremendous retribution to which we are so peculiarly exposed on our South Wes tern fronUei, from measures of retaliation. Should iMexico declare war against the Uni ted States, and, aided hy some great F.uropean j)ower, hoist the standard ot servile insurrection in Louisiana and the neighboring Slates ; how deep would be ourself repr laches in reflecting that tiiese airocinns proceedings, recettced even .X colorable apilogy from our example, or from llie nniawinl conduct of our own citizens !
