In looking at the exm-mlit'trr Of the
Government, you most be strm k with the
great and alarming increase within the last
four or five year. Under the adininistrs
lion of Mi. Adama, the expenses of this
Government were, annually, annul twelve
millions of dollars. Wo thought tt extrav
agam, and lor that reason more than any
other, was that administration put down by
the people. General Jxekson came into
power pledged lo reirertf ..the expensrs of
tA Governinent; bill, met ran of rrtrenrhwli

and thereby more effect t till r contiol the

that owing to tbo oxtraoreinnry ineteasem
t5!eir"jiblTe"tands, tbero would
certainly be, tt tno en d jbT t no yriar 1836. a
large surplus revenue to the Treasury of the
United Stales. "What was lo he done with
ibis large surplus wfa sjnestinn of the
deepest rnooieni to tbe people of the Uni
ted Statea.""'1 ".; " ??;i&temm6)li:
etftferf. wished to enlarge the expenditures
of the Federal -Government by increasing
the Army and Navy, by constructing a large,
and in my opinion, t useless bomber' of new
fortifications along- otir coast, by re-coo.
atfuetinff in a enmeotry"rrinner onr puh
lie buildings, snd by a largo Irtbtr
. number and Wanes of onr public hfTicere;
while the opposition wished lo provide for
Ibe necessary wanta of the GovernmenUbut
were opposed lo any Increase in its ex pen -d
ttnreo. They w tshed to relut n i o the peo
ple such of the public revenue as might not
be necessary fir tbe ordinary ' wanta of the
Government to bo disposed of by them as
they might think mist likely to promote
their ioterest. ' Ton know when the reve
noe of the United State! is so large that it
cannot be expended by the Federal Gov
ernment, it remains in auch of Ibe State
banks as tbe President may elect, and is
used by them for the benefit of Ibe banks
Too perceive, therefore, that this was part
ly a contest between the banks and the peo
ple; end resolved itself into this simple
question, whether the banks should have
the benefit of this 'surplus revenue, or
whether the people should have their.own
money returned to tm-mf put this was
not the only question involved in this case.
If this surplus revenue had remained in the
depojilB. banks to -bo ieed -by the- Federal
Governinent. it would necessarily havegreaf.
ly enlarged the expenditures of that Gov
rnrnent already double what it ought lolte.
This would greatly multiply lb number of
contracts and offices, and would give to the
riestdeot Ol the United Stuteo a pnltonage
and powor over public sentiment, which it
would be diffit ull to resist. Money is power,
and the question was. presented lo the A
iiierrean people, whether they would place
ibe whole of this treoienduu power in the
hands of the President of the United Slates,
or whether they would divide equilsbly
inong the Stales, lo enable I hem to rnninfaia
their ancient freedom, ind pendence, and
sovereignty. Fortunately lot ihe people It.
the Stales, both these questions were deci
ded in their favor at the first session of tbe
I act Contesa,thotigh not without a atruggleH
An set w passed lo distribute smong the
stales, in proportion lo their respective
uurober of Senators snd RepresentatiTes in
Cong rt as, such surplus revenue so might be
tu the treasury on Ihe 1st January 1837. o
ver and above five millions of dollars. The
act provides that Ihe Stales shall refund the
amount so distributed, if ever il should bi
required for the support of war or oilier em
ergenrt; but no 0110 believes such a demand
will ever be made.
Under tnis law, North Carolina received
nearly two millions of dollars, which n
most judiciously applied by your legislature
al its last session to pay tbe Slate debt and
provide a fund for education and internal
improvement. The auspicious influence of
thrs measure has lre.d been foil in every
part of the State. It. has given a new inv
pulse lo Ihe people, and wo may reasonably
hope at no distant day, it will works radical
impiovement in the moral, intellectual, and
political condition of the State It ia a con-
suinmalton most devoutly lo bo wished.
Who is there amoi.g us thai does not feel
bis heart swell with the hope, that tho Stale
will vet be able to repair tier waste placer,
to arrest the tide of emigration which, hs
swept over bcr borders aud exhausted her
energies for tbe last twenty year, that her
sous will 00 longer be driven frou. their na
tive noil, to seek in other States thee ad
vantage wbicb may be found at hone; that
Ihe poor man, as well as ibe rich, may have
tbe beufefita of an education extended lo
hia children; and that W0 may all be able lo
exclaim with, pride and pleasure, 'Tbis ia
my own, my native land.'
Aa eflort was made , at the Jast session to
re-enact the same lawr for distributing Sucb
surplus money ss may Ve in tbe Treasury

millions of dollars. . Thia measure passed
the House of Representatives, but ws lost
in tbe Senate; togetner with the bill Id
which it was aUached, making appropria
tions to -complelo fortifications heretofore
commenced for the defeuce of tbe country.
This just and beneficial measure was siren
soosly opposed in our House by Ibe friends
of tbe present Chief Magistrate, with a few
honorable exceptions, among whom, 1 taxe
ple.aauwuiiaafngTW
State, tit bo felt on this occasion that the du
ty they owed their State wao above ail par

Senators which look place last winter, tbe
party now in power durst not oppose so loot
a measure as tbe diutbutim of the surplus
revenue; but as soon so thov are elected
and snugly fifed in office for tbo next four

I know it baa been Said, in ' iuetifivafinn
of the eoursd pursued by the Senate that
no one knew certainly that there would be
any surplus revenue. To this I ' reply,
if ihjP re should be 00 sorplus revenue.
there would be none to diatribnte. and
tnereiore the hill could hurt noboily. But
11, as l do not duubt, there will in January
next, be twenty or tweitiv five unlliona
of surplus revenue then the quesiiou s
gain presents lUolf, what will you do with
it! Will yi.it lot it remain in the banks
fur their bettefii, aud Hie benefit of politi
cimie; or will yu diatrilnite il for the b-ti-efilof
the States and the people! The
House of Itepresentaitvea derided in favor
nf tbe . Stales and tlte people, but the
Senate determined it iu favor of ihe banks
and the pariv
But it waa further said in opposition to
this hill by an honorable Senator from New
York, that the Senate had indicated the
policy "wit iult il intended in purxtie in rela
tion to the ui plus revenue, which woo tu
expend il by building new foTiifkatimis a
long our roast, and tiicreasnii; tlia'nutnber
or our ataudmg army, already sufficiently
lae for a peace esubltsli'ment. Both
these measbresi. as I before stated, were
lost in onr House. The joiner ..mode, of
disposing brthe surplus revenue proposed
by the Senate, waa by partially stopping
ine aaies 01 tno public landa, unC virlually

nlainrs si reduced prioes.whirrr would have
reduced the revenue arising from sales of
tne putilic lands Trom twenty-four millions
of dollara received last year, lo four or five
aud perhaps leas. This bill, I rejoice to
say, was also rejected in our House The
other measure propeeed by 1 lie Senate was
s reduction of tbe UrTflf. "Vfhis reduction,
however, waa a small one, and chiefly
confined to articles of luxury. It proposed
a alight departure from' the compromise
bill of 1833, whi;h has scled so happily
in promoting ibe harmony and prosperity

this bill was sent lo our Houeeftoo late in

able parts in the public life of Gen. Jackson 1
that he haa loo often trampled on tbe forms
of the Constitution when liter-earneL Into

openly denounced these committees .as
