But the reverse i thef ict,nnd an immense amount is required for that purpose, in ! d peod uitof the de!iciucy lor trade aud commerce.

' ' V, hutever reports may I made now by their officers of the pros pects pf profits to the stockholders, the advantajret io ihe Stale,' to the lariner, the laud h lder near them, to the mechanics and laborers, and iheirreat utility lor the diffusicuj of knowledge and for the conceii iratioii ol troofw in rases of einer!rencyrCiinuot now be questioned. Hieir diHtiKfli seem now more or less identified with the character md prosperity of the State. Many patriotic persns luivi uohly put their shuulders ti the wheels, invested their money in the Mocks of these works, and will lor some timer eceivw less compensation than they misfit huvedoue by other in vi .rments. If a few months open lion of a Kail Krmd had given evidence of great profit and the oad nee Ji-d iirinidia(e assistance, would it be the rxilicy of the State to vtlhM HI 1 blionld say not. Then how much mora (lie ueces tiy of exertiujr this policy in jrrautinar assistance to establish llieso Kuads ou such u fouling tliut they may freely and hilly test their mil iiy. The advantage from such improvements, to the State, are of higher and loftier imporiance than can possibly accrue to tier from any pecuniary profits, 'vhich her investment could yield. Site is a hove all risk. But.tlieStOfkholders can derive or receive no other advantages but those arising from dividends, ni.-d while these are devoted to the payment of the debts and yielding no remuneration, cannot reasonably be expected to enlarge their investments. It is generally admitted, and, I lailievc, cannot be denied, that one half at least of the travel has been arrested by the disastrous times brought upon the .country, as have endeavored to showv by the acts of the Federal Gove.ruroeut- We may now trust that more pros perous times will, ere long, be restored, and the travel resumed. On the let us alone" principle, the recuperative powers of this new country would soon restore prosperity. But we may expect, in additi' n, the hearty co-operation of the fostering .power of . the &M!fGdBrii prosperity, rather asmting and relieving, than reviling and distress ing all thfl-iustiiuiiaus of the country. As the country becomes more thickly settled, travel must increase on the roads and enhance the in come in proportion. In proof of this, I have seen no report ot tne operations ot Rail Roads in this country or Europe, which does not show an increase ol receipts; and their operations in our country will yield a greater increase on account oi our disposition for travel. It would be idle, gentlemen, to talk to you relative to tne many advantages resulting to the country from the establishment of Rail Roads. They have ceased to be experiments. Their facility in ex pedition afforded to travellers, in connection with Steam Bouts and Steam Ships, will ensure their .construction where the current of trade and travel require. They may be subject to mutations in pro-' fits, like all other property; hut if correctly located, economically constructed, and well managed, they must be good property to tho Stockholders; and if not, their utility to the other iuterests of the country cannot be questioned. " " The attack of the President of the United States on Rail Roads, is exceedingly strange and iiujtislirliible. In the transportation of laiiiing a mode of fwnisliment'ad.totod f'th crime. R-garJinj them, howeveV, iiaiMSMOMjmicnl point 'of view, it would probably be less burtheiisome to ttie country i;ie presaui m kjj ji incut in the jails of the counties. -,..; . I As regards Lunatic and Orphan Asylums, 1 presume there can be but one opinion. " : c The returns of the Clerks and Sheriffs of thirty-six counties shew the number of L'niatics to le two hundred and forty-nine of poor, wretched creatures, most of whom call strongly on our charity and philanlhrophy for shelter, food mid nursing; -and no dou.Lt if the i umber nnd coiidiiion of the orphans could be ascertained, the ap peal to our sV'Tip.atie would b equally strung. The State U abundantly ab!o to coustVuct the necess iry building1', audit only requires the action of your body to establish the principle and place, upon which they shall "be erected; the nppointmeut of a competent superintendent to visit the various nst.iblishmenls of the kind and collect the necessary information, both of Peniientiaries. and Iinatic and Orphan Asylurn'i, and to commence the work ns soon Tas the plan should be approved by the Governor or n Board of Commissioners raised for that purpose and an appropriation to meet he expenditures, placed subject to the Governor's warrant. In the mean while tho necessary Code of Laws might be prepared under a commission granted by your honorable body for that purpose. Mist of the counties hare adopted the common school system, and a few have received the State's quota of money to aid them in this moot estimable object. The want of School Masters is the only coin plaint which has reached me, and will, in all probability, be the most formidable obstacle to further success. By applying the proper correc tive, that and all other difficulties, I hope, may be overcome. The several counties which refused the adoption of the system, no doubt acted on mistaken views, or wrong information; and their participa tion should, in justice, le provided for by law. Il is with the most imfeined gratification that I congratulate the General Assembly on this work of their own, which lias placi d in reach of poor parents the opportunity of obtaining for their children to' make Yhern lietter and more, valuable citizens, and inspire them with grateful feelings to their cduntry, which will never fee' forgolten in the. hour of danger. .. . .... - It is with great pleasure I have to iuform you that, in obedience to the direction of the last session of your honorable body, a survey of Nag's Head has been procured. Under their resolutiondirecting n report to be made by some able and experienced Engineer, the Board of Internal Improvements appointed Major Walter Gwynn, who commenced operations in May last, and reported to the Board in June. This able and lucid report amply sustains the propriety and importance of your inviting the attention of Congress to the opening an Inlet at I hat point as a national work of the highest importance. The resolutions claiming the attention of our Representatives and Senators in Congress, were forwarded to them. The Representative from the first district, in which Nag's Head is situated, cave the sub ject his prompt and unremitting attention. Acopy"of the report and map of the survey were also forwo wed to - the., representative from that district; but it reached him at too late a period of the session to be acted on. ' i VkKiwui isuriit.havthe process, mora hanking capital would-be f 7 iluabl to the Staled Our merchants, urwhle to obtain discounts at 1iivmmrtfothrfrpinh 'M to t'lbmit to credit, and if not paid when l due,, have to pav seven rpercmt making a loss kx the State iu the regulation of the balance .pi trad of oue per cent A diffi nifty i apprehended in oHtain'wgnbscrihers, which may be Capitalist have had such good reason to be alarmed for the Wety of. their funds, bv th constant senseless attacks on these inst i tiithus, and Iha instability of ettr laws, that they will part with the jin.i igemeiit of their money, doubtless, with some apprehension and reluctuce.

If we turn to the estimates of the War Department for improvements, ve shall find many vastly inferior, under the patronage of the General Government. It is, then, due to the State, and particalurly to that section, to urge the execution of this work on the Government? The very able report, on this subject, by Major Gwynn will be submitted by the Board of Internal Improveaicuts; to which I beg to invite your especial attention. The work for draining the swamp lands has progressed considera bly1. The Pungo Canal is finished, ai:d Ihe Alligator about half com pleted. The lateral ditches, on Pungo Canal ore now being cut, and soma 13,000 acres -nearl y prepared for market. I see no reason to doubt the wisdom of this improvement. I am very clearly of Ihe opinion that opening an inlet at Nag'a Head reclaiming the swamp lands improving tho Neuse river as far as practicable, and thence the construction of a rail road to Ra leigh and turnpike to the moiiHtaias and the construction of a rail roadand tornpike, flatiking'Sf ntfi Caroling f roiri the fieod o? tide wai ter, on the Cape Tear, to the West form the sytfetri of improvements alike demanded by the character and interest of the Slate, to be ac complished whenever her means will permit. ! The depressed statu of ihe pecuniary nfTairsof the country at home, and its impaired credit abroad, would not justify undertaking, at pre sent, improvements of very great extent and magnitude; but as far as the means which the State can command will go, there never was a more appropriate period. The disbursements in the construction would benefit every branch of business in its vicinity, by giving em ployments laborers, mechanics, and a market to the farmer; and tho work could be executed more readily, and at less cost, than in more prosperous limes. Iu what could the surplus money and credit of the State be better employed, than by relieving the-distresses of -her peo ple, and Ihe improvement of her natural advantages? . As nn improvement particularly called for by ihe wants of the State, entirely within her means, and imrortant as the .connecting links between herexisting rail roads, the $e.itoard and ihe interior, I would call your attention to ihe improvement of the Neuse river from Newberri as far up as practicable and useful: thence by rail road from the NVilraington and Ka I ejjh-: JliJt ,!l. t 1. 1 h-K pintrr;.forJh.i:cl. iheotautryaHd tains by turnpike, as best suited to the use and material of construc tion of the country. Tfiis chain of improved communication and intercourse, is due to the Stale, and especially o the northern tier of counties, the trade of which has been diverted from on r own markets to one in a neighboring Slate. This improvement -would place ai Ihe pleasure of the farmer one or many markets, iu or out of-the State, with equal .f'lciUrynnd regajii thek Josi may be premmed that most, would prefer those in the State, it would secure the profits which might otherwise accrue to our neighboring States, and assist in obtaining fhe Iwlanee of trade in our favor. At least, a fair competitian would be afforded. The advantages to be derived in the pu rchaee f.-Vwt India produce in Wilmington and Newbern, and their better facility for shipping, will more than equal anfr advantages thoir. competitors abroad can offer. It' is probable the stock would be readily taken by individuals, if companies shou Id be incorporated for that purpose, for the two-fifths or one half of the amount, with proper privileges of payment. " Tho rail roads in our State have not had, as yet, sufficient oppor tunity to test the value of such stock; and as for investments in turn pikes, "we have but few data en which to base an estimate. The Buncombe road yields a handsome profit, and it appears to me that a turnpike from this place to the west would be still more profitable, if the value of the stock were the only object of the State in construct ingit. " . The Board of Internal Improvements, agreeably to law, caused books to be opened, under the superiatendeace of acuve a?ents, to obtain the pre-re-uisite rabscriptiona before the Fayetteville and Western Rail Road Compa ny could receive the State's subscription and organize, and, I regret toinform you, witho it success. This appeared to bo the favorite scheme of the State, and I. was anxious to see it executed. To the poverty of the country through which the greater part of the. road would pass, and , the depraaeion of the monetary affairs of the country, may this failure be attributed. See next paffe. ' assailed, must ba decidedly important and necessary to the Govern ment, and favorable to the liberty ol the citizen. Where, then, can be1 the sense or propriety of these attacks of spleen and enmity , l am satisfied your honorable body can enter tain no such the wants i it, may lie contended that our Rail Ronds have been ifividi.iously located, too expensively const rnctedL and even badly managed. But we should bear in mind, that they are our first experiments, artd made at a period when the country was in more prosperous circum stances, and everything of higher value: That both mistakes and unnecessary expense are the usual results of new works: but it should also be held in remembrance that many, individuals hacked their favorable opinions of these enterprises freely with their own mo ney, and that they could not have practiced any intentional decep tion on the public, when it would full so heavily on themselves. Suppose we snon ia aamu me iaci mat our noaas nave not, solar, met public expectation, or even of the individual stockholders to the full extent ; yet should we shut our eyes to the cause? Should we not -remember that the general prostration of all other branches of business may have reached the works on the Roads; that, few exten sive works immediately prove profitable; and that they have been only few months iu operation certainly not long enough to test thcirwprth,v to ..the . stockholders? ;...To all .- oilier r- interest-, - their utility cui boor no doubt. We-see every species of property great ly sunk ii) vail!" ; slaves, our most tangible and active property, depre ciated at least 50 p'f cent.; land yet more; and lots in our most fa voured places," scarcely selling fir Ihe cost of improvements; very few farms yield legal interest, and, in the aggregate, probably not 'i per cent, on their value; yet who -m bold as to sny that we should abandon Ihe farm or negl cl to build hol'ses and improve town lots? What, it may be asked, is Ihe cause of such estate of things? The President of the United States informed us, iu his message at the ex tra session in 18:t7,tliat it was overtrading, sumptuous living, and the issue of too inuh Bunk paper. But such reasons, however, npt for other places, are totally inapplicable to North Carolina. There has been no overtrading here, no extravagant living, and less Bank is sues tli an we had trenk years ago; and although our Bank capi tal was increased a small amount lour years since, we have about ihe same now we hod 10 yews ago, exclusive of the capital of the branch Bank of the United States, which was employed in this State; during which time our demand has certainly greatly increas ed. It is the want of Bank or oihei active capital hich has been the" c:iuse of sacrificing real estate and every other large amount ol propeny qii'i changing liandsr at great mid ruinous sacrifices, but to assist the manufacturers trader, mechanic nnd laborer, in the various branches of business, and the improvement of the natural advantages of the State. Under a resolution. of your honorable Ixxfy, at its last tension, 1 addressed a communication to the Governors of the several States. requesting information on the subject of PenitenliarieSj Lunatic and ! Orphan "A esting replies have been received, hut not sufficient to enable me to give you ranch light on those subjects, lhand you herewith marked B, the information obtained, and submit the lol lowing general re maoltsriTfcat aH tablhmeut o!' a Pcniieiitiary the punishment of crime may be more correctly graduated toits atrocity. Under our present code of crim inal law, many punishment are fixed, and others left to the capri cious estimate of tho Judge; and to many cases neither the one or the-a-ther appears so fitted as to give satisfaction to public feeling. The result is, that in almost every case, a petition for pardon is pre (erred to the Executive, with whom it is idle to say that the petition of many respectable persons should have no weight. Although he may be satisfied that peutioua are generally drawn by partial or pre judiced hands, in the absence of all information winch no law pro- woes tor riisguiae, ne is noienaoiea to act satisfactorily to himself or justly to the State or petioner, but where a doubt is raised, he feel f impelled to act on the side of mercy, : In the establishment of Penitentiaries and Laws for their govern ment pnoishmehts could be belter. graduated to the crime and leave lessoom for complaint and petition.
