all parts oTthe SlntevvI would, thereforerespcctfully suggest the establishment of a board of. inter, rial improvement, who, with tho aid of civil engineer, will be able to examine and report to the -legislature the most, important works, with tho several estimate's of expense and such other information, as will enable them to act undcfstahdingly, and to do equal justice to every portion of the State. From ihV-report of tho State treasurer, you arc fully aware of the ia the public revenue, a fact deeply to be amidst the general embarrassment of the country, and the deplorable. state of our monetary affairs; it will serve as a wanting to future legislators to keep their expenditure within the means of the treasury. The constitution of tbo State has wisely provided that no more revenue ahould bo levied, than ia required for die necessary expenses of the State government, This was designed to prevent an oppressive taxation upon the people; but unwise and imprudent legislation may affect the rights and interests of the citizen, withoutViolating the letter of the constitution, by an unwarrantable expenditure of the public money, upon objects not called for by the ceneral interest.

extravagant State administration, incompatible withthe wealth of our citizens, nnd thn t-nn. dition of the; country. To meet this deficiency, and to guard agajost a like occurrence," will require jour immediate action there are bat two modes that wiggest themselves to my mind, either to increase iax. ation to meet tho demands of the treasury, or a reduction of the State expenditures. The first mode would only add lo the oppressive burthens now borne by our citizens, and create just cause for murmur and complaint; but a reduction of all lite State officers within your reach, and an economical expenditure of the public money, may, in a short time, relieve tho treasury, without oppressing the citizens.

Some 810,000 may be se ved to the State by limiting and reducing the salaries of most of the bank joflicers. jwbich now beyond -you control, and aubject alone to the management of a board or directors, upon Whom neither the constitution nor the people intended to delegate such power. 1 need not remind you of, "the spirit of pro. fuse extravagance which eeeras to pervade all classes, and to aflbct all departments, far beyond the bounds of prudence and our means to gratify that insatiable thirst for show and araoltK I a the'eitizen if not sneedilv rraifw. tv i rf I You are now ca ed unon hv eVirw r.rt 1 i 1 I uca portant t3 our cnterrrzi- glraJrrs, snJaoj C-Dcral.

The power and responsibility with which you are clothed, sUould, admonish 'you of Us importance," and the obligation on your part of a fair, just antf liberal cjercise'of that power. 't The young and chivalric State which vou represent has just emerged from the'shackles of territorial and assumed her stand as a free and sovereign; member of this confede. racy i she possesses a rich 'nad ptbducttve soil, yielding to the farmer and plaater, a bounllful supply, as tho reward of his and her cavtgabhr rivers afford fsafeV and speedy transportation of the products of industry To the great mart of tho western' world.

"ller wealth and future importance la a great degree depend alike upon the virtue and intelligence of the people, and upon the prudecce and sa-ffacity of her representatives. This a period in the history of our State, that requires all sectional feelings and political diSercnccs lo be sacrificed for the 'common jyoaJ.

r- 'i evils which have resulted 'to the great the' late 1 saspen stoh, nre; great and almost iusuSWablei It is a striking instance of thefradical defecU of the ehtiro system in every government; and under evefj systemi we may foold for Revolutions' in business consternation and distress, noiwith. standing the country may bo otherwise1 in a growing and healthy condition. 'Thosq are: in some degree owing to our com-mercbl OccasSonaltytlie balance of trade is against us we tfen feel thd efTects of a'loreiga debt, following sjpon excessive im-portations, by the consequent re. duction of tho prica of out1 own exports in foreign markets, and its corresponding depreci-ationjat home. Every few jyears this foreign balance has swept the country of specie, aud of coprso deranged the currency; and at times paralyzed and prostrated business, bringing ruin upon thousands of outmost enterprising and useful citizens.

Such crisis produced the suspension in 1839, and tho misguided policy of many of our Banks, by increasing their counts to near half a million" of depreciated papcr placed themselves beyond tho possibility of an early resumption. Such a course ef policy may be checked in future by the enact, ment of such laws will make it not only a forfeiture of tho charter, but fine and imprison-ment for the President and' Directors to issue or discount during their suspension, or for tbe issuing at any time, a certain amouut of paper beyond the amount Of specie in their vaults. So fa as the currency of your own State is concerned you have lie power to correct the evil. I then respectfully submit the propriety Of a thorough investigation by committees into the condition or all the Banks and upon their report, should mainly depend the character of your future act. tf it is found that they have been man.

Ood with fidelity and prudence it will tend to restore confidence, nnd remove the strong prejudice that now exists in the pub-lie mind. If, however, your apprehensions are not lessened by such investigation, your duty your constituents, and justice to the will require that no further liability shall be incurred by the State, (for the present at least,) with such other conditions and re-'n'ciiona will beet conduce in bring about a better State of things, or prevent a like aus-pension in future. i A diffusion of information and learning jnto our whole community, (the basis of morality and religion,) is a subject of vital importance taall classes of 'society. Upon this subject in. temperate, and bitter party strife should not be permitted to enter into your deliberations.

You will therefore as the proper organs of the body politic, cot, fail to use the means placed at your command by the General Government, with that liberality which the exigences of tbe coantry demand, and its means justify: As a larger portion of our rising generation are designed for agricultural- employments I respectfully suggest such a system of education as would tot only teach science and litorature, but combining practical knowledge of the mode of farmings which will tend to inculcate prioci. pies of economy and Industry.
