Like 'r.tber eredt'and patrioticmen, the Mem hPt-s of that bodv -will, be Entitled to the rraritndc of txwterity. : : ', f v - Previous to theyealr 1S15, roanypriblic xnirited men in the tate "were desirous to .ippropnarea pare oi me puunc iunus, 10 the opening a nd completion of the n aviga rion of cqt risers and the improvement . of the public highays of the State f -but the parsimony of some, and the "difficulty of "carrying on the improvement upch principles of correct political economy, always baffled the attempts." ; Attempts had also been made, to ac complish these objects by the aid of indi vidual interest and enterprize, in incorpo mting Crmpanies to carry on the wnrk. When" these r attempts "were made, they were alwavs defeated by" those "who had the same pretended friendship for inter nal improvement manifested by the gen tleman from "Rando'phY The Legislature of 1815, believing that the only practica- hie ' mode of improving the 1 State was to Incorporate .companies for this purpose, the.Sfc.ate at thesaroe time subscribing a paft oftbe : capital, had the patriotism & courage to commence the. work,for wjiicb, as a citizen of the State, I tender them the rqost" sincere thanks of. my heart. ' T It,h"a5 been found elsewhere, as I have no doubt it will be here, that the most ef- ticient mooe oi puDyc improvement is, to combine public funds with individual in terest & entetprrzethe State becoming a .stockholder toteamonnt of its subscript tirn : for independent of the application cf the public money to a great state im provement, it will in 'the process' of time yield us a handsome revenue. But no plan of public improvement can prosper with cut system; calculated to control the con flicting interests cf.individuals & promote the public' welfare. For this purpose the government .should have the direction of the public worksy and they should be un .der the immediate supe'rintendance of an officer skilled in civil engineering. rn the year, 1859; pursuing this policy the Legislature of Ibis State passed a law creating a fund, and a board to manage, it, for thejpromotion of Internal Improve-; ments, which the bill now before the Se nate proposes 'to repeal.- Ever sine'e the year 1815, the friends of . improvement in the Legislature have been endeavoring to effect this object. ' They proposed in the years 1817. and 1818, that the dividends arising from , the stock which the State holds in the several.Banks and Naviga tkrn Companies . should be appropriHted for this purpose ; but owing to Various conflicting interests, they could not suc ceed. In the year 1819, the State having acquired by treaty with the Cherokee In dians, made Vy- the United States, at large quantity of Jand lying in the. western part of the State, a fund which -Providence seems to have thrown in our way, with out cost or sacrifice the friends of.tntef ral improvement prevailed on a majority cf the Legislature of that .year, to appro priate the proceeds of (he sale of this land to Public Improvements : But" which the gentleman from Randolph and his friend! now seek to repeal: , It was proposed not only that, this land should be thus" appro- yniuru, qui inai me pronts arising irom our Navigation Stock should also be ap-, plied to 'tUs purpose,; . , ' To this proposition, so reasonable in It sclthere was an objection, and the bill was then amended by striking out the appropriation a? to tlie dividends atisinfc frcm navigation' su ck, but a very Urge . miijority was in favorof aimini iatin.rthe Cherokee lands. . ' . ? - ' ' ; -' The legislature, in passingthjs law; had, no doubt, two: objects in View ; the one carefully; to husband the funds of the several Navigation Companies; thebiheK tliat the fund created should be set aparf ; &r the, improvement of the, whole sW, and be used for .no r other, object, What appropriation; asked he, had been mde, canyon the ere business of internal . rcvi mtut before this'aet passed The t.

That '.abuses ha ve taken place ts readily admitted and,!; perhaps,' more in f that section of the country with which the gen tleman from R andolph is best acquainted, than any "-other. ' But have these, risked Mr: Y.growi) out of the law of last session ? Far from it. ; .That la,w is calculated to prevent alii such abuses in4 future. The Board appointed under that law is alrea dy correcting the' evil, as may be seen'by! ah! inspection of their Report which they) nave jusr maae 10 ine xegisiarure. s Whilst speakingof this Report.he would take- notice , of a part of it which he was astonished to see. ' It was stated,. . that all the Companies, except. Roanoke, are j, deficient in funds to complete their-works I and as soon "as the state ot tne.tunqtor internal improvements will admit of it ; the Board recommend to the General As ! sembly to aid them by additional subscrip i tions of stock.! .' - ;'. ' ; I . Mr.'Y. said;;it was with a mingled sen- timent of astonishment and regret, hesaw i this remark in . the report of the Board, I and could only. ascribe it to a want of cor- rect ' information on that - subject. . Sir, j said he, it is no less, the duty, than the right of the tepresentatives of the people rUn this Dlace. to sneak freelv of the ouihi- ( ons or conduct of thoseto whom great public measures are entrusted ; and I j nopet ina.i,n ine inieresiot Tne peopiewpn on Roanoke -has not been understood or; attended toby this Board beretoforey that it" will receive-hereafter its full share of. attention. .What, he askeg; are the facts, "in relation to the Roanoke' Company f The State subscribexl for 2500 shares in that Company. & has'paid only $1X750 whilst - m the Cape-Far Company, in which she subscribed' Si 5,0tX), she has paid the whole amount. . Whe'lher indi vidual stockholders had "paid in full he did rot k&w but that vas for the Board hereafter, to report! v To. the Roanoke Company; .littlejnore than half, the sum. subscribed Kasbeen paid. This State has k. right to subscribe 855,000 more in the Roanoke Company.; and this he thought .right, because when that sum was sub scribed, this state would stand on anqual footing, fn'interest in that Company, with the State'of 'Viremia, whV held stock in i it to the amount, of S80,000. i fBiit the Rbanoke Company have, as ver, i pncu in yam ici.uie i-egisiaiure oi.ni : State cither to take the shares thus re ; served, or relinquish the right of the Stater !so ; that - individuals may subscribe for ''themi' They have refused to do either, n As an individual it was with him i mm ate- irial whether the State Subscribed for thesel shares or not ; but as a. citizen of the) State,, he felt great solicitude on account;! of the jnfiuence which, it would give; the boais an'd immediately carried off to nrar State in the concerns of the Compahy.r-i4 j ket. ) jSo that the expence 'of transpdrta If the State were to lTli'nquish her right! to. subscribe for these shares; 24 h'nu'rs'ai would scarcely" pass, 'before thev would: lane-it uj uy juui luuais. vv nrii inc.

' sMr. Y. said the people he had the honor to represent were deeply interested in this question, as well as a very large portion ot tne .otate ; ana he t regretted; to learn from, some parts, so deeply . interested in the navigation of the rivers;the objections which had been urged. It has been said that the improvements of our navigation should ha ve com nienced on the sea -coasts: and gradually extended to the interior of tne country ; that an ouuet 'trom AiDe marie Sound to the Atlantic, & the open in'g and deepening the Swash, as it is call ed," should have preceded , all other- im provemehts in the navigation of the Roan oke. Gentlemen should recollect, .that; such an objection would subject them to tire ' imputation oi semsriness. ; , agree, said he, that all the water ccursfes in the State susceptible of improvement" should receive it, und there areno objects of t mo lt lici patronage more worthy than these ; :j and let gentlemen who make these objec- ftn the 'same way. we have done 'upon the riverst anu we are rot oniy, wining ro vnie Lthem '.'subscriptions on tlie part of the Lc' f gitlature, jbut to aid by individual sub c; i scr.Duons! in any. nracucaDie scneme .oi improvement.; AYith the public improve"-: ments going on upon Roanoke, saH he, I am barter acquainted than any other part i of the State, & J maintain that the course they, have pursued, in first "removing the -rt obstacle to the navigation , of the falls, s correct both as regards the imme- diite interest of the stockholders and the ' greutjin'terestiicif the country .attached1, to that fiver.'
