VANCE, TO TUK GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ’CALLED SES SION, 1803. • GoiUevien of the Senate and Jlon.'^of Cojnmonx: The reasons for my calling you together at such an uiircasouable time after your adjoanuneiit will be.foun<iin the accompanying able and interesting report of the Bublic Treasurer. Tlie gravity of the question, whether considered in reference to its probable'efFects upon the finances and credit o,f tljc State, or upon the. interest of the people and the ' succuNS of ou# common cause,-will I trus*t, con stitute an ample .apology for my action in calling vciu together, in which I need not say I was unaiii- inously sustained by the Council of Stale'. ily a recent Act of Cuiigress all non-intcrcst bear ing, • Confedeiate Treasury not* s were clas.^-ilicd and a limitation put on (he time of funding tlicm as sot forth iu the accompanying, iteport of the Public Treasurer. By'ihis action, intended to reduce the great vol- aimc of paper money in circuiation by causing it . to be funded, tlie niAcs-of two is.sues referred to were rendered of less VHlue.llian those of later is sues:, .-Mid thougli to..ihat extent it wa.s a repudia tion of them, no action would liave been necessary on the part, of the Legislature h.-td thq matter end ed the-re. But ihc LcgisI-Alurti.of the State of Vir ginia, being then in session, iinmediaudy provided again.sttl'ie.se is.sues being received in payment of f.'ixes with a view, as was s;iid, to aid the operation of the Act of Congress by Ijastenii^ the funding process. And soon thereafter the Banks (d the city of E.ichmdnd, actuated no doubt by, the same patriotic but unfoituuate imitives, declining to receive them, it at once became ;i matter of seriruis concern with the Treasurer ;tiid myself whether some Legislative acthm would'not be require d in self defence-. And ifaiiy were required it mutt be Rad soon, as the collection of taxes begins iir July. Ti’.e Ordin.-iiicu of the Convention, Feb. Session. No. .3.5. makesli the duty of the Treasurer to receive these issues; but if Ito were iuvc.'ited with-.tiie T.)owor to i-f.iee.t. them, it evidently would not become Idm to exdrcise .‘it under circumstances so dill'erent from any con- .tcmplatod'by the.framers of the Ordinance. To con-, timie to receive them after nhis' pai tiji) repudiation of Congress and after tiie Legisliiture and. tlie Me- ■ Iropolitaii Banhsof Virginia had refusedtlioin. Would 'of course have subjccted.that otlicer to tiie danger of filling the T»f'-asnry with notes, greatly deprecia ted it might be, or perhaps - entirely nucurrent.— Timi-e wa.s. no telling, how soon the other banks of the country might follow the example of those <>f Eichiuond, nor whataclion other St.^tiis might take. And of course it being impossible •lo'fund itpdl and inconvenient to fund any so long as it would pass, it miglit bo rushed into this State and paid into our Ti-easnry, such a lesult would be ruinous alike to h'e r creditors lior otlicers and her soldiers'. Tliis .created a rcsponsiUilit.v too'great to be borne by llic Treasurer wiUiotit Lcgi.'^lalive sanction, and. the matter is ihereforo submitted to von. Aftor a careful sttrvey^of tlic. .situation I confi- (letitly recommend to you to “lirovidy fv>r the con tinued 1 eception of tlic.se notes as the safer and more •honorable course. So far mi .State ha.s foliowe'd t-he exam)>Ic of Virginia, and no b.aiiks ou^^u!e of Rich mond in tb.c whole Confederacy liave refused them*. Our example may have a mostliapiiy influence tip- on the contcinplated action <>( otlier-s ^'o more deadly blow couid be stricken against our cau.se tliap the repudiation <rf our currency, and that the honest, old fasliioned, debt paying Stale of. North C;»rolina. should be amonu the first to dishonor the iinoiiey jiaid her citi/.eiis for their ' substance,- and ■ lier soldiers for their blood, i.s something I sh.euld regret living to so(!. If one i.ssue of Confederate notes bo good; then all arc good, 'since the 'sum honor is pledged for their nltiujate redemption. It is exceedingly dangerous to take the tir.st stop to ward di.slionoritig, in the sliglilest degree, our enor mous volumes oi‘p;i])er cuirenuj. Tfie action of one forces the ;.»clion of another;, when-, if all stood'firm, tiie public creuiit miglit be saved. A refusal to ecjve those notes from whatever cause, and how-' ..ever weighty the reason,-would create ^-imong- the uon-cominerical cliisso.s the most gonoral alarm and even distress.a'nd the want of confltlcnco would become univer.sah The danger can now he stopped If we fail U) check it;^ i.j my opinibn it will' be bc- 3 ond remedy. The snggcstion.s of the Treasurer in ro^jard to’tho' ma.iyiier of providing against any’ probable Iqss are well worthy of your con.siileration, and I have no doubt'svill have great weight in your deliber.v tious. * • - Desiring-to detain you btit a few days at this busy and inconvenient season, I refrain fiaun bringing before you various other matters which might well claim your aUcntiou at a regular session. ■ I will tiiereforo only cull to your notice-one more subject.

For the Tiines. ■ A Free Pross—What ys it? Mr. Ledm;in:—I had supposed that *a Free Press meant more tliaiHhat the Editor should be allowed, to publish his own views, and noth'ing more. I had hoped that a Free Press could bo construed to mean a Press that not only spok6 the sentimects of il.s Editor; but allowed its correspondents to speak the sentiment of themselves and neighbors; even when tlie}-did not exactly conform in every particular with the. views of the Editor, (so they wore lawlul and of good morals,) but in tliat I nniy liave been mistaken; yet I do not wisE to bold, or make you or the Editors responsible for what I may' hapiieu to write. I write my own sentiments, and would not write others if I could, unless I believed thenf- uN- self. But how are tlie people, to make llieir vieuy^ known to 'distant.noigliborhoods, and States, unless iliey are permitted to speak tlirough the 'papers?— Your eorrespondcnts oould not afford for evciy man to establisjj'a press ofhis own; if he did it would r-uin—not only themselves, but ruin youi; paper too; for if ■every man hail a pre.s.s of his own, and all ex changed free, there would be no jiaying subscribers for aiiv. Then frhy not the Times speak for aJl, and all oFus take and pay for the Times? "We may be all (-q*Ually honest,-but it is impossible fcM- us all to tec and thjnk alike, then -let us reasop together, and not ab.Use each other, for oUe interests arc the same, and our destiny, as a people and mU-ioii, tljc '"s;imc‘. Things look jilaiii to you in onewa-,-, whilst all is darkness and gloom to me. ITow many of ofu wise men told us this great government ours oouhl be broken up witliout bloodshed or war.-r- Wo must believe some of them—believe whnt they said; yet it does look to me (and a]\va3';i did) tUal no saiu* mail could have believed ai^y such thing Certainly iic h,ad. read history to very imic purpose and h;td a very poor knowledge of human nature i( which in its naturaliiislincts have always been tin ' .same) to lliink, or even hope, that such a govern-^ mentas the old United States, with all it.3 jieople and resources, could be broken up without the shed ding of rivers of blood, wlieii the. history' of tluJ world was tjjat the ino.st insignificarit'of the inau}’ hun- dred^of Governnicnts that have.existed lierctofore, coaid not be destroyed onlj* in blood, and that in proportion to the means at coinmand. And c<-rtain- ly no people on this earth ever had^iore resources .-a their command; than our-peoiile hail at the com- menceiuent-<if this, war. and for implements of de struction, there has , been no'dimhiulion since its eommcnceriient. Yet I must think that some men were so infatuated, or fanatical, as to persuade them selves that the government could be broken uji without a.war (strange as It looks to me)—most generally tlie^ame class of polit.ician.s that bidieved the'govcrament could be broken up witiioiit war, aft zealously contend tlsit the present Confederate Gbvefiiment edn stand for years, profiting itself and .subjects, founded upon ttie reeogiii'jrtid jight of any State seceding therefrom, whenever it chooses to do so. Such an idea appears to me so prepos terous uud'Ub.surd that it requires (if any diflerenee) more charity to believe asaneman, sinccrc'aud 1: i- est in any such belief, than that of breaking up a guvernment like the old United 'Sta'tes.Govermr it wUhoiiL war. M'hat on earth is to lu.M sncli arov- erntni'tit tdgether, scarcely through a single Ailnnn istration, much less a half of a ^cnec.-ition? Di-. Lovc-s.'iys a rope of sand. Bnt.really it isonly sand, without the senibhince of a rope. , How can suvii a goTornment protect herself against the Stales, nr any o.ther power? "^'tiat would.hinder any State from seceding <and_ annexing lierself to--England, France, or Mexico, or.even the old United States at will, or if she chooses, set up for licrselfin defiance of the Confcderac}', and tliereb}' cause a new revo lution and ■n>^r at tfie end of every Presidential lion. ' Is Lhaftho great princi])le involved in this dreadful war, that any popular disappointed dema gogue Of every' State shall have the lawful right to involve us.in nnotlier, and as inhny wars hereafter, as t.hei)-di.sappointed ambition may happen to sug gest to tlievn. If so, the sooner, our people know what tliey have gained in tlie change, the be'tcr pern haps for them and posterity-. Thou what son of lirotcctioir I may tlie citizen expect ami Impo for from a Government unable to jirotect itself, ;ind founder on such principles." Iftiiewlse men oftlie world wcl'c .-isseiiibled to establish a Government fur trouble and confusion, they could hardly fix one better adapted for.the purpose, than a Govon'iment of independciil States, witli the right for each to secede at plca.suro. Tlie right to secede, carries Milh it all other rights, that of war, annexation, and everytRing else, li'et we mh.st believe some of these' people are honest, and do believe w.liat tlie;- say; though I. miLst confess I have a-»]inor opinion' of theiriicrceptioii, and do' not think them suitable men to hohi importanf offices atiany time, much less'in Uinjes like the present. Tliat these same men in tbe nRiin arc re.sponsible, in a great degree, for many qf our present troubles, I entertain not u .single doubt; and. the sooner tlie peojile i'em,ove tliem from ofiice, and put men in that tan s^-e flic dangers we are driving to.with (I might say)' rail road .speed, the belter for tlie* country, our.selve.s and them. . - II.

If all onr diflerences of-opin.ion arc to bo settled by tlie sword and hevip, we have a drcadfuljob oii iiand—one tjiat will eclipse anything luft on record, either in ancient or •modern history.

Suppose'the question .settled between tbe North and the South, are there not as wide difi’ereiices ofojiinion yet unsettled a- moiig ourselves? Arc they to be'dis’iosed of in the ^anie way., or .shall we cal! in reason, and endeavor to settle them by compromi.-<eand cm’icession? The question of the right of a State to -secede at will, and again brmk up the new government, is dcstin- ei'i to have an overhauling long to be rcinem^^^'d, that i.s, if the preseiitConfederacy can hold tog^h- erlphg enough to get through its pre.scnt diffi- cultit.'S; a thing, by no means certain from present ap|)#ar»nccs.

Sup posing tliat most of us liave seen war enough for our day, I take it for granted that most men will be fur compromise, .and even concession, sooner tlian .shoulder the respon.sibilities of another war.
