PHILO LEGIS. ? UecembertJO, 1842. TV A. FOB. THE SEGISTSB., Na 2. To hi Legislature of ' North Carolina: ' I If then, Gentlemen, for a time, you forgot the characteristic caution of North Carolinians, by sanctioning one or two adventurous enterprises, seemingly calculated to enhance the glory and prosperity of our State, you did but indicate the predominatinglnfle ilce of the day,an influence fash and irresistible in its career. Every period has its prevailing spirit or governing principle. The Spirit -ol that day was clearly- manifested, in the htany wild and extravagant schemes then project ed throughout the civilized world. Fortunately rJNortlf Carolina, . her citizens' had but partially imbibed this spirit, so that when th storm hurst JDpon our country and sped its onward course from Maine tdjxraisiana, carrying with it the wreck of many millions of property, the loss she sustained, 'though comparatively unimportant, is yet sufficient Claim our attention. I therefore beg leave to direct your eyes to the ap of our State : to trace those two lines, the ne. extending from Weldon to Wilmington, and the other from Gaston to our Capitol, and mdica ting the two vast enterprises which were com menced at a period of general prosperity, but com. pleted during years of the most unexampled dis tress and embarrassment. Here then, gentlemen, in these two works, exists one of the great and prominent causes of slistress amongst our citizens, for their construction has absorbed nearly three millions of dollars. . I will not asV where is the profit, where the income accruing from so vast sm outlay, for alas ! the same disastrous causes which swept away tens of millions in other States, have operated to depreciate most sadly even the value of the principal itself. Let it not be supposed that this depreciation is attributable in the least to any injudicious management, for those most familiar with the subject, concur in saying, that the great est prudence and ability has been exercised by those into whose hands these works are confided. Human experience attests this truth, M the great est schemes that human wit can forge, or bold am bition dares to put in practice," depend much up on adventitious circumstances. The next great cause of distress to which I shall refer, occurred principally during the pre sent year, and is confined mostly to that -section of our State, . lying between tho, Virginia, line on the worth and New itiyr-a South, sad. from thfeS&2oaxd tothefVVest,ofar theC6untIev& Person Franklin, Wake and Chat. haluV'Tms entire portion of forth Carolina, com prising, as' yon will perceive by reference to the map, nearly one-third of her. territory, was visited during the past summer by a series of storms and inundations, which, in point of severity, extlht of devastation, and magnitude of property destroyed and distress produced, may without anyxagger- . 5 - in j- v aUon,be recaa impara our State. To the poor man free from.debt, and whose means, of subsistence for the ensuing year denended on the crons he cultivated, the loss has been grievous ; for the insatiate ftry of the storms hi many instances, has not left one stalk of corn standing in his field. How much more grievous then, must be the distress of that man who is strug gling with debt, a large family , to support, over eov a large lamiiy . u npporit over perhaps, hangs suspended the sword , in Ae shape of a Sheriff's execution, whose head, tf Damocles, and whose ability to relieve himself from this aw ful situation, without the ruinous.sacrifice ofthat which had been bought at a fair price with the hard earnings of a life of industry, consist in the products of his farm, but o'er whose fields, just as his labors for the season were ended,' sweeps a tornado,' prostrating all wi hin its reach.
