Delivered before the two Houses of the General Asse nbly of North Carolina, the 1st clay of January, 1851. Senators and Members of the House of Commons: Impressed with a deep sense or grati tude to my fellow citizens. I enter upon the duties of the station to which their kind partiality has called me, with the earnest invocation to Almighty God sol to direct my official conduct as to pro mnff flip ivnlfirp. the nrosnpritv. nnd thn , r4, i f i e. . 'pi ! happiness of the people of the State. The'- , . r i c a f . ir dalies ot the Executive, at all times dch- cate aul responsible, are magnified by the importance of the crisis; and I should approach the fearful task assigned me with greatei reluctance, were it not for the fact that I find myself surrounded by the Legislative authority of the State, confided to gentlemen whose wisdom and patriotism, I doubt not, will be found e j'Ja! to the emergency. Tne misguided fanaticism of Abolition ists at the North threatens the overthrow ol the Constitution and a dissolution of the Union. The slavery question is one of momentous importance to the South ern i 3".aies ot the Contedencv, involving aamcalcu'able amount of property, as .. .. ...

It is gratifying to know that this question of extending the right of Suffrage has not arrayed the landholders against the non-landholders, for such is the love of liberty and of equality among our peo ple, that both cl isses are found actively co-operating in their efforts to carry out this questional reform. Efforts have been made to connect with this question a change of the basis of representation. I do not think that either justice or p'tblic policy demands such a change. The Con vention of 1835, in a spirit of compromise and concession, adopted taxation as the basis for. the Senate and foderal population as the basis of representation for the Mouse of Commons. The Abolitionists at the North wish to destroy the hasis of federal population upon which vve are represented in Congress Their course on this sub ject is v iewed as dangerous and mischiev ous; and I regard a similar movement in relation to our representation in the State Legislature, however well intended, as fraught with equal mischief and danger The federal basis consists of three fifths of the slaves added to the whole number of free persons. The white basis wool wholly exclude the computation of slave in representation. Persons other than vo ters are properly represented. Although federal population prevails as a basis, ytt slaves do not vote, nor do white females shown us the sad consequences resulting!
