Found doubly advantageous for silk cul

lie may judge when inlormed that from a
small rooted plant, for which a dollar was
paid at Baltimore about four years since,
the sub-criber has disposed of a large
number, and has yet as above stated, anil
that bis first propagated trees are near
twenty feet high nd beautifully propor
tioned. The leaf is a dark green color
and often 16 inches long and 11 broad.
The price, (now reduced) is 50 cents

proportionate for those of a smaller size Si
when a number are taken at a time.

Miscellaneous
INAUGURAL ADDKKSS,
Ok Gov. Dud lev;.
Senators and Gentlemen
of the House of Commons:
Custom, Gt titletneii, and rny
own views of propriety, demand
of ni e some exposition of the prin
ciples and motives which will ac
tuate me during my Executive
term; and as my preferences and
predictions in Federal Politics
ire no secrets to you. I shall con
fute myself chiefly to our domes
tic inlerests.
The object of Government is to
restrain the turbulent, protect the
weak and promote the haoDiness
of the many. The Constitutions
of
the State and of the Union
(both but compromises of conflic -
.... .-.r.t:Sl; ere uesignea to;ot his products. You enhance
govern and direct the course of
their administration, and as well
as the laws enacted to exnlain and
enlort e their provisions, should bei
fairly and liberally construed and
faithfully executed, to attain and
secure the treat and b
purposes for which they were iu
stituled.
The settled precedents of our
country, established so soon after
the formation of these charters, in
many instances by the very law
givers themselves, and in limes re
markable for political honesty,
are too sacred to be hastily or
lightly disturbed. But where the
provisions of the Constitution are
clear and definite in their mean
ing, evasions should be studiously
guarded acainst
' B ll
and violations
! resisted.
. Tile Agricultural interest
has
lhp url claim to our
attention, as
the basis on which all our pros
perity rests. No superstructure
! presents the appearanceof symme
try and beauty, if its pedestal be
neglected or defective. And it
were folly to erect upon a ponder-
otis, magnificent and costly bnseJ
"") iiiapiiureui .uu cosiiy onse,! quirr, wht
a cheap, insignificant and worth-! in our coin
less work Kach part should ob-'ly restrict!
Serve its relative nronortion. and
as iu architecture so in politics,
we must consider the correspond
ing capacities, of the Slate the
relative proportions which theag
riculiural can be made to bear to
jthe great and congenial interests
il commerce, trade, manufactures
and labour.
As a State, we stand fifth in
population, first in climate, equal
to soil, minerals and ores, with
superior advantages for manufac
turing and with a hardy, industri
ous and economical people. Yet,
with such unequalled natural fa
cilities, we are actually least in the
scale of relative wealth and enter
prize, and our condition daily be
coming worse lands depressed in
price, fallow and deserted manu
facturing advantages unimproved
our stores of mineral wealth un
disturbed, and our Colleges and
Schools languishing from neglect.
It is a true, but melancholy pic
ture, and it is our business to pre
scribe the remedy. In the want
of capital, and of that generous
confidence which should exist be
tween the government and the peo
ple, mutually to asist and support
each other, I think 1 find the evil,
and the corrective is palpable.!
.... ... i
increase your circulating meuium
give to industry and enterprize
their proper incentives, and make
interest the connecting lie be
tween ourselves and our constitu
ents, and we at once seize hold
of their confidence and anec-
ttons and arrest tnc torrent ot
emigration which is desolating
our State.
At this period of enterprize and
refinement, it would be worse than
useless to enquire w hether man is
most happy in a civilized or semi
barbarous state. We enjoyed
the comforts of civilization and
must neither retrograde nor stand
still. The Merchant must be sup-

which navigation has been denied,
and Common Schools established
and cherished: Then, the resour

ana. an impulse given to her ener
gies and enterprise which would
soon place her in the rank for
which nature designed her. Ena

Were the State enclosed by a wall,
beyond which her citizens mi-ht
loltl ins arms and withhold his aid
and protection from all works of
general improvement, permitting
individual enterprize and energy
to exhaust themselves by fruitless
and abortive efforts. But we
must remember that our younger
sisters are presenting the most
alluring temptations to our citi
zens that daily, the bone and
sinew of our strength are passing
away from us and that, utdess
prompt and efljeient means are ap
plied to' remedy the evil, a few
more years may find us hopelessly
impoverished.
W hilst it is admitted that we
cannot safely wield the Banking
capital which the superior com
mercial advantages and facilities
of trade render necessary to Mas
sachusetts, Louisiana or New
York, mav we not venture i
nuirr. whether ih pre is tm ilit, m
lition, which necessari-
tricts us to the use of less
than the third of the amount which
is usefully employed in Georgia
and South Carolina? Why should
we apprehend overtrading and a
factitious state of prosperity? Are
our citizens less prudent and wise
less capable of managing their
individual interests or more easilv
seduced into folly ami exravagance
lliau tlieir neighbors? I tiiink not.
One of the blessings of general
prosperity and by no means the
least, is the means itafiordsof gen
eral education. Ignorance is the
certain result of poverty. Sup
ply the means and there are few
parents who would deny their
offspring the lights of science and
the refinement of cultivation.
From the observations I hare
made, you perceive that 1 am an
advocate for an increase of our
banking capital as the surest and
speediest means of arousing our
State from the apathy that en
thrals her.
I believe that she requires but
proper stimulants to bring her
latent energies into action and 1
would submit to your wisdom
whether the end would not he more
effectually attained by increasing

confidence) than by chartering
numerous small ones, whose con
flicting interests and jealousy musl
abridge their public usefulness.
You will be fostering your infant
improvements (whether Railways
or Factories) and insuring their
projectors and effecting a general
improvement by aiding vand en
couraging individual enterprize. .
The appropriation of the Pub
lic treasure, or the devotion of the
credit of the State, to the purpos
es of trade, trafic or banking with
the view of gain, is wrong in princ
iple and dangerous in practice.
U might be enough to say, that
i the Constitution may be examined
in vain for any authority for sucl
. f
purposes, to induce the Legislator
to act on the subject with great
caution. But it is due to the
times to add, that the Slate cannot
engage in the common pursuits of
tiie people, without exciting their
jealousy and dissatisfaction, and
abstracting from the Government
the respect and veneration which
are necessary to arouse their pat
riotism and command their ser
vices in time of need. What in
terest can a citizen feel jn the Go.
yernment, which would rival him
in trade, sell his properly and com
mit his person to the loathsome
walls of a prison for the satisfac
tion of a debt? One of the foulest
blots to be found in the laws of
the State, altho' greatly mitigated
in the present ace, is the nower
granted to an individual to impris
on ins honest, but unfortunate fel
low man. for debt. H
more odious then would such con
duct appear iu the Government of
a State?
I cannot omit this occasion to
congratulate my fellow-citizens,
on the return of a oart of then-
hard earnings by the Federal Go
vernment, which has been drawn
from them by the operation of one
of the most oppressi ve and abom
inable Revenue laws ever inflicted,
in time of peace, on a free people,
at a juncture so favorable to meet
and aid the spirit of enterprize
wnicn is now abroad.
The unwillingness to imaose a
Tax on the Deonle. has f
i ' "
mongst the most plausible reason
heretofore assigned for withhold
ing the aid and protection of the
Stale in the prosecution of enter-
..
prizes oi internal improvement,
which all admitted to be necessary
to the public prosperity. The
funds which the State can now
command, removes this difficulty.
The amount to which we will
probably be entitled under the
deposit act of Congress will reach
near two Millions of dollars.
Large as this sum may appear, it
would form the mere nucleus of a
system of Internal Improvement,
commensurate with tiie necessities
and capabilities of the State and
far below the amount advanta
geously employed in such works,
in other Slates of the Union. In
fine, after giving this subject all
the consideration which its im
portance demands, I entertain the
opinion thai the principal should
be devoted to Internal Improve
ments, and the income arising
therefrom, to the establishment of
Common Schools, in obedience to
the injunctions of the Constitution.
To have been elected, gentle
men, to the high office, upon the
dulies of which I am now to enter,
by ihe immediate suffrages of a
virtuous and intelligent peoole. at
the first instance in which, under
the provisions of the Amended
Constitution, the election of Gov
ernor has been committed to their
hands, should be a source of suffi
cient pride and gratification to
any man. Dut to me, havinir so
little claim to this distinguished
honor, the kindness with which it
lias been conferred, exciles emo
tions which I am utterly unable to
frxpres. Permit me gentlemen,
as the only return, which it is now
in ray power to ma Up in tn,l.r
through you to our constituents,
the people of North Carolina, the
assurauces of sincere- and endu
ring gratitude.
This, gentlemen, is my native
Stale, and here are centered all
my worldly interests and all the
best affections of my heart. If
patriotism, self-interest and a deep
sense of gratitude are no sufficient
guarantees of zeal and probity in
the discharge of my official "du
ties, it were vain to lender yon
empty promises.
In conclusion, gentlemen, allow
me to say, that although ihe ex
travagant expenditures and gross
abuses of the Federal Govern
ment, have driven me into opposi
tion to the coming Administra
tion, (pledged to carry out the
same course of policy, thus pre
venting me from judging the tree
by its fruit,) yet I shall endeav
our to divest myself of all preju
dice and partiality iu the discharge
of my dulies, and to become the
officer of the STATE and not of a
PARTY.
Permit me, gentlemen, to ten
der to you the assurance of my
great anxiety, t unite with you in
any and all measures, which may
be calculated to advance ihe gen
eral properity of the State, to
promote the improvement of the
rising generation and secure the
happiness of all.
AorcZ Revolution. We area
boot having in France, and after
wards iu England, a revolution of
a most extraordinary character.
The discovery of a most simple
preparation by which the writing
with all sorts of ink (except Indi
an ink, used for drawing) can be
effaced. The discoveries nf this
terrible secrt i have already played
off some most extraordinary tricks
on the Government, and on the
merchants and bankers of this
city in order not to defraud
them, but simply to open their
eyes to the appalling situation in
which this discovery places the
whole Of society.
The discoverers of this liquid
are the inventors of a paper called
papier de surete, which is very lit
tle dearer than the ordinary pa
per, and which, if w ritten on can
not possibly be washed without
changing the color of tiie paper,
so that the fact of its having been
washed would be at nisre detected.
The ink can be washed off this
paper, as well as effotner paper
but when so washed, all must be
washed off or none, for the fa tNof
the washing is instantly evident.
The French Government has at
once ordered it lo be ued in the
Government officers. In conse
quence of this discovers, the
French Government lias lost near
ly a million of francs iu the o!e
article of stamps during the past
year; for persons wash old bills of
exchange and promissory notes
which have been paid and done
with, at so much per dozen, and
make them look so completely the
same as when new, that instead of
purchasing new stamps for bills
and notes, and even for deeds, Ihe
old ones are used, after the paper
is washed over and over again.
The French Government, to pre
vent the continuance of this fraud,
will be obliged to pass a law that
the stamps shall always bear the
date of the months and year in
which they are purchased, and
must be used in the same month
and year. Letter from Paris.
