GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. o the Honorable the General AssetnLlu at - - j forth Carolina.. Gentlemen, ou have again the enviable privilege c uv ' 1 1 .1 1 f Representatives freely chosen, of a sovc reign and independent peof 1c, to delibe rate uponjl heir concerns, and to legislate for their benefit; and probably the bene ficence of Providence has not been more clearly manifested in any of the political events of the age in which we live than in imparting that wisdom to the framers of the Constitution under which vou are assembled and byi which that happy Yorm of government Was established "which preservcs us equally free from the tyran-, ny of the old world, and the confusion and r - -r ? ,1"u,u,,:u "'I1 licentiousness: ot some of the nations in our own hemisphere. Trusting for the success of your labors to the rectitude of mvite your attention to the education of our youth, the internal improvement of the State, and the regulation cf the cir culating medium, hs the three great and leading subjects - which should claim your attention at the present session. Other subjects of importance will suggest them selves to ypur consideratioa, too numer ous to receive particular attention in an annual communicat ion from the, Execu tive, "but of sufficient importance not to escape the vigilance of the Legislature. The importance of a general diffusion of knowledge is universally' admitted; nor is it any longer pretended that learning is unfavorable to mon ;,or injurious to the best interests of a at ion. On the contra ry, our own experience a a nation, and the history of the world prove to us, that most of those who are condemned to the just punishment of malefactors under the laws of a christian .community, are the exceedingly ignorant, who have been hurried into actsof violence, or seduced into excess, by the example of a few, whose situation from fortuitous circum stances affords them a passport to luxury, and to criminal indulgence. If then it be true that the vice, irreligion, and con-, sequent, poverty and misery of a large portion of our fellow citizens are to be at tributed to their intellectual condition, are these not indispensable considerations, to the virtuous legislator?! The benevo lent designs of the philanthropist, and the particular plans of the political economist to promote the general diffusion of edu cation, are mere instrumental expedients in the hands of the legislator; and without the aid of the strong arm of government, uust fall " still born," and prove ineffec tual for raising the ignorant from their degraded condition. ' The object of ed ucation is to train the young to usefulness', and to fit them for that station, which they are to assume in after life among freemen. Without a proper cultivation of the moral and intellectual faculties,! this end can never be attained these ! artificial helps have ever been found to suffice. Whilst other members of this great confederacy haVe been appropria ting millions for the general concern of literature, and establishing schools for the education of their youth,' thereby en abling them to keep pace with the enligh tened age in which we live, has there not been a manifest dereliction of duty on the part of those who have been entrusted with the regulation of the political econ-. omy of North Carolina, that in all its bounds there never has been established a single institution for gratuitous instruc tion, even in the elementary branches of education? Fellow Citizens of the Sen ate and- of the House of Commons, should this be' so! and will vou permit il any longer to be the easel. Have we not resources approaching almost to immen sity lavished upon us! And if they; are not properly applied, fs it not time to raise a protesting! voice against a species of c eonomy, which has so long kept the poor in iornorance, and the State in' poverty t Fully sensible of the arduous nature of. the duties which devolve upoc. the Legis lature of the difficulty of reconciling the views even .of those most friendly to the establishment of primary schools lor the ;ctr.,nir,r. more uarticularlv of the poor, we may yet be consoled by the reflection, ny works oX internal improvement shall that the path is not lan untried one. but ! claim the attention of the Legislature, so has led other Legislatures to the bappi-l as to require ah appropriation for their est results, by ameliorating the con litionl accomplish -nent, that ;j sujKrintcn-leut.of of society, ' establishing correct habits, pub ic works be appointed, ,th' a cuai rjK)ral3 and reli'ion, always under the do-t petcut salary, who should be respouib?9 WHOLE NO mmiun of ,Jucati.M,Hnl those r.- i.,0 only sure conerv..tor of the corcrn t.ent under which we live.

Decenary to tax. Door. it is in the nature cf things that it hould be so, and it should be recollected that it is the latter, who are oftener called on to fight the bat ties of their country. The University of the State shorjfd, in connection with primary schools, al o claim the fostering care of'the Lertla- . -'. ( . .. lure, ror this institution, snar.iotis huil. dings have been erected, extensive and ' valuable libraries have been collected, cost'y chemical and philosophical appara tus have been procured, .by which the professors are enabled' to communicate instruction j in the elevated branches of learning ami science with more ease; and these ha ve jbeen tflected in no small dc-1 g.ree by private contribution. After liv ing struggled through many J&'ars for a precarious existence, until it has attained, to h lofty eminence -among .'the coll. es cf our country, the trustees are. reduced! to the nece-sity of either ab.ndorn g it r altogether, or of -turniOg it over to the Legislature, of our toiiihtry. The ..t al- ternative has been ndopted.

There can be no better test oftho enhgh fened wisdom of a nation, than the extent and sufficiency of its provissiori for the mental and moral instruction of its child reri, and we can never hojo to establish) for North Carolina an elevated standard of education or even of social and national , virtuet until the principles of correct edu cation, and their influence upon society, shall have been known, acknowledged and practised among ourselves. Is there not a constitutional injunction on the subject of education, and this too, founded on thai belief (to use no stronger term,) that a system of general education, is j indispen sable to a system of general morality, and that from these alone, we can hope to perpetuate the fiee institutions of our count r.'. To the internal improvement of the State, the attention ot the Legislature-has for years been directed, without accom plishing many very important objects. For the improvement of our intercourse, both personal and commercial,' the live liest interest has been evidenced in eve ry part ofth'e State, and with much pro- pnety; lor, by these alone can the rich bounties of nature, distributed over our expanded territory find a market, '.and A ready exchange for the varied products of other soils, and the. fruity of oilier climates- Yet this, however correct and sound in principle is liable to hurtful de lays, and even utter failure, .when under taken with inadequate, meansor mana ged by incompetent skill Many of thi most liberal and well devised plaits for the internal improvement of various parts of the United States have been retarded, and in some instances have proved uri successful from'tbese very causes, and have contributed not a little to sink into disrepute the whole system. If an ap propriation adequate to some great work of internal improvement cannot be made, it is better to abandon the system entire ly for the present and stop and econo mize, until our funds accumulate, and our resources are further developed by indi vidual enterprize, and no longer to fritter away our means by small aud inejTectual appropriations, which require an addition-, al amount nearly equal to disburse! themv The Bctard of Internal Improvement, which has ever been distinguished Tor in telligence, and never more so than a the present moment, is, nevertheless iilK the Governor at their head as President ex-officio, deemed to be, for all the pur poses of their appoiritmcnt, an incllicicnt body acd; with great deference to . the Legislature, should be dipcned with. The citizens of the: State will not sepa rate the Executive, - from the President of the Board, and :ht co u r t esy. which they are diijoscd to bestow on tfie for mer, will produce the most hurtful delays in the transaction of business in every ex cursion from the seat of Government. It is therefore respectfully rccommcn led. that the Board be discontinued, and 11 a- '
