too. of undoubted capabilities, and embracing,
perhaps fourth part of our tciritory, has thus 1
far made but limited progress, because oi its x-
elusion from the markets of tbo world.
Due reflection upon (act like the, can leave
but little doubt of the policy which our true in
terests dictate. A great ork has been more

eration are called upon to perform their share of
this labor, in which la centered the most Cher-
ished hopes of the State, sod lor wriicn we win
our Jura chief claim upon uiillions that willcome
after us, for their gratitude and thanks.
The stern requirements of a proresiv civili
tation impel us to prosecute steadily enterprises
like these, which are out suco nas bare been ac
complished by other enlightened Stales, and at
tots day sre regarded a essential to. toe social ad
vanceae ef a peopl- Standing, aa we do,
full in the noon day sun of the civilixstion of
the nineteenth century, wo cannot, consistently
with the dignity of our own high position, aban
don worka such as hare received the approval of
intelligent men in all countries, and wbicb stand
forth as the self-evident agents in effecting the
moat wonderful progress in the moral, social, and
political condition of nations thst, at any time,
marks the history of the world.
And yet, I would not counsel an incautious
expenditure of the publie money, by embark
ing in the new interpriscs 14 not urgently railed
for" by the necessities of tbe public. .Indeed,
upon tbe practice of a npd economy in all ap
propriations-fur public purposes, tnoro tban upon
any ana circumstance, depends the successful
prosecution of works already commenced
A careful consideration of the subject, confirms
me in the belief that, by the observance of a pru
dent economy, our public works may be gradually
prosecuted to completion, without cither embar
rassing tbe publio treasury or materially increas
ing the burdena of taxation
A mora detailed" treatment of tl.ia subject
would be incompatible with the general remarks
which I propose to employ upon this occasion.
Specific recommendations will be reserved ftr a
more appropriate time. " '.
Upon a subject enlisting the hopes of so mai.y
thousands of our people, and in which is involved
the msteiial progress of the State, may not the
expectation be entertained that a conciliatory
policy will be adopted, which will command the
approbation of our eitisens generally ? There i
a peculiar propriety in harmonizing tbe opinions
of the publio upon this question, since our sys
tem of improvements is designed to obliterate
sectional distinctions, and produce a unity cf in
terest and feeling among the people. A compro
mise policy, upon a fixed and medium gronnd,
would infuse vigor into the prosecution of these
enterprises, by the confidence which its modera
tion and permanency would inspire; removing
tbetn at once from the arena of party" politics,
and placing them above mere sectional jealousies
and the machinations of political factions.
In commending a punctilious observance of all
, tbe public engagements, I know I but utter a sen
timent that animates every bosom within the
wide domain of our State. A violation ofsfailh,
under any circumstances, is among the most mel
ncholly instances of human infirmity; snd, in
the case of a State, where the publio honor has
been accepted as a bond, it becomes a crime with
out mitigation.

are indebted to a virtuous ancestry, are those just
and honorable sentiments planted deeply in the
