j The session ofthe General Assembly of Eer,,.,
commenced on the lst Nov. ''h
i The Message of Gov DEsHA was Gen, !, !
same day. We select the following MASSAGE. Nv
embracing matters oil more or less general ,ns,.',
The Governor, adyerting to the Banks o IL.
State, observes Wv
"As, on the one hand, local banks often d.,.;,.
the publlh expectation, and lnundate the co,n,,s
win spurious currency so, on the other a NJ.
uonal bank emhodes and conc entrates mass n
lpower hostile to the state governments wbch !,
limmnently dangerous TO the existence of mr. h,s,;
tutons. That bank is the creature of cons,rnr,ion
land implication, and from its very nature il cslcu
Lated to augment its power in proportion 10 the .nrh
OF rs duT alton 1t is believed The branches lor,,d
10 Kentucky possess power and exert an influence
eminenty lifted 10 destroy state rights Their r.
moval has hitherto been attempted aud must sill
be desirable 10 all those who wish to maintain orr
institutions in their puii'y However convenient
II may be to their debtors, the accumulation OF the
real property OF the country by these agents Of the
general government without the consent Of the stale
which is prohibited by the constitution to that gov
erhment ITSELF, must be alarming 10 all those who
wish TO maintain the dominion OF the State over its
own soil, and preserve that independence in the To-
cal governments which was one OF the principal
objects Of the national compact. and is believed to
duty OF the Legislature protect this government
rom all extrsneous Unconstitutional influence; aud
have no doubt that, by taking measure. which
shall Cause the removal OF these institutions, shall
more electrically perpeuaie our Liberties.
internal improvements are objects oil primary i'm.

regulated governments. They give facility 10 in. I
iercoutse, and activity TO commerce. And as Ken
lucky, from her INLAND situation, must remain an |
exporting state, any impeachment IN her path 10 the I
ocean must necessarily obsIruct her progitss 10 |
wealth and power. New York has nmorlaiztd /
herself by her grand canal. A navigable comm.
nicat'on is now optnIn, between the DelaW are and
Chesapeake Bays. The attention Of our parent stat,
IS excited 10 this grea, object; ard even the nation
government is about 10 adopt general plan, which
shall pervade and bless the Union"
