U e should adopt, in the first place, some plan to rem edy this evil. Two modes hire prescnl edthemselves cither the establishment of a school in some central position lor the ed ucation of teachers, or an arrangement with the University by which such youth should be instructed free of charge, as would agree to devote themselves as school masters to the Slate for a term of years The employment of a permanent Commissioner to superintend this branch of the service, will probably 1)3 necessary. He may he employed for the present in ob taining ill the information in the Slate and elsewhere, necessary to proceeding with skill and effect. The Constitution Ins given to the Exec utive the hi ah prerogative of exercising clemency; which it is his duly to do'accor ding to the best of his judgment. To ren der this duty the more valuable to the com munity, he should be placed in possession of full and accurate information of the olfence and punishment, which is not now the case; finch information is brought to his notice by petition and representation drawn, by par-l tial or prejudiced hands, and 1 have reason to believe frequently destitute of truth. To refuse the consideration of such, however, on that ground and sulfer a human creature to expiate his crime with his life, when a possibility of innocence exist d, would be the nower with which lie to make the return of the militia, arms, ac coutrements and magazines, directly to your body," which will put you in posses sion of all the necessary information to ena ble you to dispose of the subject.

The im portance of co-operative uniformity in , nil matters relative to commerce, trade, .and intercourse of the different members of the Union, is too obviously necessary to need further comment at my hands, than has been bestowed on the currency and exchan ges. A compilation of military tactics, has been received from the Major General in chief, for the purpose of rendering the ex ercise of the Militia uniform, which will require your altention. Six pieces of field artillery complete, and five hundred and ninety-seven muskets, the quota of 1837 inclusive to which the State is en'iiled from the United States, have been received and ordered tobe stored in Wilmington until disposition should be made of them by some action on your part. .

The short duration of the latter: the prompt restoration of business; the evident bene fits resulting from an adherence by the Gov ernment to the constitutional standard of value, instead of sanctioning the suspen sion by the receipt of irredeemable pp r; and the advantages derived from ihe large amountof specie introduced into the coun try previous to 1837, afford a valuable il lustration of the true policy of the Govern ment in such n crisis; nor can the compari son fail to remove the impression that a na tional bank is necessary in such emergen cies. Not only were spceie payments re sumed widiout its aid, but exchanges Imvc also been more rapidly restored tba.i vhe it existed; thereby showing ihat private capital, enterprise, and prudence are fully adequ.de to these ends. On all these points experience feoms to have confirmed the views heretofore submilted to Coogress.
