, The Act of your last session tor the: re
brgamzationf th -Portsm
noke Rai 1 Road Company,' bytal jsale of its
property, under ' the uthbritjyj of jbpjth
States, was not acceded to by the Lesisla
ture of Virginia That body,! however,
has made .a separate pnactment; upon the
samesubjectmatterjaoinovel in jsome of ts
provisions as to can
tice. It directs a sale
and franchises of the
to call for a moment's no-
of all the property
Company? in both
States, by the Board of publidjijworkslof
Virginia; but provides, that if t the sale,
or at any time threafier,f trie State j of
North Carolina or any Company iricorpo
rated by her for purposes, of internal im
provement, should in any way jecome the
owner of the said Rail: Road, the General
Assembly of Virginia reserves the right to
revoke all the powersi
privileges and iin-
niunities conveyed by such sale, andfto
declare the same null and volcl." ;Nbw
all this so far as relates to NoWjj 'Carol ma,
or to the known purposes of liny of her
citizens, is the mere ffusionl a jealous
and hostile spirit, without object or mean
ing. She; had neither manifested nor :en
tcrtained any wish to become tjie proprie

monies lent, but were amply (secured by a
mortgage, on a part of the Rait Road pro

another provision in this act) o more "sig

tion, "that in case the authorities off the
State of North Carolina, shall at any time
by leeal process or otherwise,' deprive the
Petersburg Rail Road Company of any of
the privileges and advantages; pf its char

tion he righfoT the mdY party to
this agreement, thus to dispose of his inte-
rest, under decision of the;Gourt.ls not de
nied; and had1 the other contracting" party
been a natural person, it Would never have
been, questioned, however great might be
the in convenience of the loss of the road.
ut, in my view, a corporation, the mere
creature or the law, must took to its'char
ter, for privileges npt for restrictions: what
is not authorized to it, is denied; andby
consequence, the Petersburg" Rail Road
Company, permitted by its charter Only , to
construct a rail road from that to vvn to, its
southern terminus, and to transport oh jthe
same, had no fight either to participate in
the profits of transportation on the Ports
mouth road, or to suppress transportation
thereon. Regarding this contract ' as oe
si gned for the destruction o f Hfie Ports
mouth Road, - to the end that the other
might have a monopoly of the business
done by both, and as such a public injury
and transgression of its own corporate
rights by. the Petersburg company, 'and
perceiving that that company had made no
reports to the Legislature of this State, "of
its operations within our limits, as was ex
pressly required to be periodically done,
by the act of its creation, I directed the
Attorney General to file an Information
against them in the Supreme Court, and
. i ' . . ...
require them to snow--cause wny tneir
charter should not be declared forfeited.
At the last Term of that Court, judgment
was rendered in this case for the defend
ant. The opinion announcing this deci
sion is accessible to you, and to it, you are
referred, to determine whether any . new
process shall be instituted in the premises,
or whether any new legislation be need
ed, to prevent mischiefs in like cases for
the jfuture.
It was while this Information was pend
i ng, that the General Assembly of Virginia,
made their "enactment,", in which it is
plainly intimated that if a .ebntrafy deci
sion from that arrived at by the Court
should be mae, and! this' corporation
should be deprived of any of. its" ' priiile
ges, now enjoyed under our la W, by rea
son bf any neglect of duty, or by any
transgression whatever, it should : be re
taliated with the loss of the Portsmouth1
road also. . This State had made herself no
party in the rivalries of these Companies,
but authorized the construction of both
roads, to procure the aid vantages of two
highways for market and travel, expecting
to her people, of course, the fruits of a fair
emulation between them. But, in the dis
pensation of her justice, whether among
corporations or individuals, and in the ex
action of the homage due to her laws, in
her owrt territory, no influences .frbiri
abroad can be pernVitted to interfere. 'Not
to remark pn the departure from cOmity,
implied in gratuitously assuming, that
North Carolina desired to possess one of
their roads, and proclaiming by publicad
Vertisement,' that she should be excluded
from the biddings, though part of it was: coasting trade. Uniting as it does the best
in hr limits and existed by her leave, harbor on the American coast, between tho
whild' the same statute appoints agents to Capes of Virginia and those of Florida,

bly of Virsinia indicates a presumption on ; YAeanalfrdrom Rrver to Czps
her parU of dependence by us oponher. Fear River, has long been in ccnterapla
for markets and the meaiis of r
them, whioh requires an examination of obvious advantages, from an inspection cf
the-relalions between lis. 'J In'tKat wint of the map, ought to ensure for it ct Izzzt a
view, it calls for a' minute revision of the
charters heretofore so liberally granted
for, the promotion of trade to1 her towns
from this State, an investigation of the ful
filment bf them by those to whonr they
have been 'granted, and, if necessary the
provision of new guards' for 5 the seearity
of the advantages to us, which they were
designed to procure. s It also- suggests 'the
necessity or I mprovemenis oi our ;own;
which shall break any such dependence,
(where Jt may exist,) a far as possible,
and? place the State ina iposture, ;aiall
times, to vindicate the ? ptiblic justice, (as
must needs be done at any sacrifice,) with

miles of road in concentrating the trade of

Fear, river, : if an equally good market
should be found there, aub! render us inde-i
pendent of that less liberal spirit and poli
cy on the prt of Virginia which per
vades the Statute on which I have been
commenting.. It is therefore recommenc
ed that this Road bb 'encouraged, by tho
grant of a liberal charter, and by any oth
er aid that the Legislature' may deem ex
pedient t ' ' ' 1 .
There has been much discussion recent-'
ly in regard to an extension of both pf the
existing Rail Qbads bf this State, to a junc
tion with , those of .South Carolina. I
wpuld greatly prefer a Road from Fay ette
ville.io Salisbury or Charlotte, and ' thenco
penetrating South Carolina towards Cam-;
den, to either of the connexions proposed.'
nut si nee the otate is not in , possession
of meabs for the construction of such a
work, and the Individuals who may 'bo
disposed to patrb.nize it prefer the more
direct lines, so as rather to compete for
travel, than to afford facilities for com
merce ind agriculture, I perceive no ob
jection to granting charters to the patrons
of the-projected works, both- from Wil
mington and.Fay etteville to South Caroli
na, leaving to individual enterprize to
determine the success of either or of both.
Neither would extend far enough through
our territory to afford any greatly increa
sed facility to our citizens in going to mar
ket, or add much to the business of our
trading towns, while either would con
tribute largely- to swell the stream of tray-
el on the present Road, with which it may
be joine. . . ' ;
Prom the action of Congress at the hit
session, there seems to be no probability,
at present, of the re-opening of the ; inlet
between Albemarle Sound and the Atlan
tic, tinder their auspices. - And I regret
ted to learn from the debates in that body,
that the project had suffered prejudice
from the last report in regard to it, by
some member of the Engineer Corps of
the United States. This report has not
been seen by me, but will claim your ex
amination, with a view to further action on
the subject. Y
In conformity to the Resolution of ths
last Session the Mortgages held- by
the State, on the Clubfoot and Harlow's
Creek Canal, connecting Neuse River
with Beaufort Harbor, were foreclosed; and
a sale being decreed, the Public Treasurer,'
at my request, attended and bid in the Ca
nal for the State. It will now devolve
on you, to give directions for the future
disposal of it. Boats of light draught yet
pass through it, and although the locks aro
decayed, I presume, for a reasonable ex
penditure, it may be made passable for.
sea-going vessels, sufficient in size for the
liberal act of incorporation.
