strong old" of (convention, the biennial
meeting of the legislature ; v which, "according
i?'yonr account,! is " enclosed with, more.
estures than was ever the grave-digger in
'imlet ' ; This proposition necessarily in
volves the destruction of the principle pfan
nml e?ectian. the rre-'t safeguard of public
herty, found to exist in the present consti
' ntion ; and contains an invitation to the free-m-n
of Korth-Corolina to diminish; this right
in their own (nands, from one to two years j
nl to increase the duration of power in their
legislators for a corresponding period., Un
der the present constitution, power returns
"ntothe hands of the people once in each
and every year; under the contemplated
change, it will returr) but once in two rears.
The fathers of seventy -six thought it most
conducive to civil liberty, that the contrpul
over future legislatures, should be possessed
annually by5the people, in order, forsooth, if
jthey should abuse their power, the necessarv
corrective cotdd be applied by the people.
unwholesome laws, oppressive in thefr op
eration, were1 passed, the people could an
nually turn out of power those who vqfcd for
them, and elect others who would repeal
them. Under the proposed alteration, or
amendment as it is called, however oppressive
the acts of their 'aw-givers might be, the
people must bear them for two years, with
out the power of redress in their own hands.
To what cause are we to ascribe the happy
political condition of'N. Carolina ? I presume
it will be conceded that they possess as whole
some a code, of la ws, enjoy as great a portion
of civil and religious liberty, and are as light
ly taxed as the citizens" of most of our sister
states.. To what, then, are we to ascribe these
hlessings? Principally, I presume, under the
smiles of beneficent providence, to the princi
ple of annual elections. The tempfation to
an abuse of power in our rulers cannot be
great under the operation of this principle,
inasmuch as that abuse cannot be continued
against the will of the people longrer than
one year. ; and this added to the influence of
the 2d Thursday and Friday of August over
the deliberations of the Legislature, has pre
served the body politic in good health. If
disease has at any time seized upon the sys
vm, the prinriple of annual election was ad
equate to its' cure. ! But change the constitu
tion, increase the duntion'of power in ourru
u rs, and
1 cumimsh its control in the hands of
le peop
!e, and prosperity may mourn the fa-
tal deed.
But are there no other evils expected to
result from the change ? tJnder the existing
constitution, grievances which admit cf legis
lative redress, can be cnr.vclly remedied;
laws Which ,are found defective, can in the
same perion be amended x orc repealed, and
new ones enacted if necessary. Hut alter tile
constitution as proposed, and Grievances
j which exist, must remain unredressed ; laws
however oppressive to the people, rnust con
! tinue in force for tv years ; however saluty-
ry to the interests of the public, the enact
I ment of a new" law, may be, it cannot be ef
fected for the same period. i f
Putjiow are .the people ,to be ' Compensat

of the public money, drawn out of their own
pockets, to, the amount of 30,000 dollars bi
ennially. A large ord tempting sum of mo
ney I confess. This I pjesume is one of the
many " vestures" with which this ' strong
hold is enclosed." , Surely the people, of N.

concerns ot lite, to dp more businesss requires
more time ; and it is f altogether probable
that the biennial sessions of the legislature
I would continue longer than the annual, and

-1 MESSAGE
Of Governor Carroll to the Legislature
.of i enne8see.f , , v :
After a few prefatory remarks, the pb
verhor says, amongst ; the subjects upon
S which it is probable your body will have
to act at the present session, that : of ; tne
depressed state of bur currency has a
high claim to our attention. V v :
When our banks suspended the; pay
mem of specie in 1819, it was thought by
thove who then advocated it, to be a mea
sure 'which the embarrassments of. the
b"un:ry at that time required, hut no one
believed that the -.suspension ought to, of
would continue for any length of time;
and as a consequence of such, a belief, a
jaw was passed at the session of 1821, re
quiring that the banks shall commence
the redemption of their notes on the first
Monday of April next. As that time ap
proaches, an apprehension appears to
prevail,that much distress will result from
a rigid enforcement of he law, and a so
licitude k felt by many J for an Extension
of i bedtime, when it is to b caitried into
effect. There beingajdifference of opi
jjion in relntion to thil. matter among, the,
most enlightened men of the country, I
offer Mar which I have formed, with "a
tleep sense of , my liability to err? hot
doubting, but that thp Legislatui ; wjill
give tott atlTthe consideration to jwhich
they may think it eivided. It is urged yi
favor of (a repeal5 of the law, that the
banks, tn enable them tb commence spe
cie. payments, will have tbnlAke large-,
calls on their debtors, the effects of which
will be felt bv all classes of society, and
that scenes of distress Will follow; which
the country has not heretofore Witnessed.'
This re.-ult, I think, is "extremely ques
tionable. Is it hot probable, that as the
banks withdraw their paper from circu
tion, its place in a great measure will be
supplied by a sound currency, circulated
by individuals Who now keep their money
hoarded up, from a want of confidence in
the fluctuating state of a jiaper medium ?
ftut, it i further urged in' favor of a re
peal of the law, that jf the banks were to
resume the payment cf their notes," that
the specie would soon be withdrawn from
the country, by; the paymenj of debts due
to frre'gn creditbrs. If the debts of j that
descriptirtn nrc so considerable as tp pro-
duce such effect, it would be a silbj-ct, of
ree.ret ; out can ii in jus'ive pe preycni
Those,U bfs were contracted inootl

If we yive tON-the country a sound curren

or cRirH ws.-theref is good reason tf hope
that this evil will not he extensively jfeit.
The. princip h! part of . (?ur fbfeigh debts"

and! wlio will purphase produce -to pay
their tlebjs, if theie is a reaspfi able' hope
oi making a smnn prnnu m prererence
taking away gold and silver.; But wliadb
ver opinion may be entertained as to the
expediency of specie payments the late
decision of the Supreme Court of the
State; declaring theendbrsement law un
constitutional makes it.peculiarly neces
san;that "something should be fdone to
f restore. asouna meaium , as. snet-uuy as
possible. A very natural consequence
which will result from this decision; con
sidering the prese'nt rate of exchanged
will be the issuing of executions tvithou'
the endorsenient lo lake I ennessee bank
paper. I presume it will not be pretepU
i d, lhat any law oueht so faritointpn'jKJst
as to prevept the operation of, this judicial
clecision. Ko course of legislation can be
imagined more ruinous to i he interest 'and

form of government, 'han an attempt tb
