Internal Imp osement--"In nv last animal commu
nicauon 10 the General Assembly, had the honor of
calling their attention to the reopcning communica-
uon from the Albemarle Sound to the Atlantic Ocean
and cannot in justice to my feelings (much heiyb
tened upon this subject by examination of be
waters OF this commodious bay under of the last
SESSION. permit to pass without calling your attention
again. As much opposed any one TO the construc
tive powers OF the General Government by which the
s. 20 make appropriations from the public funds for
purposes net clearly and udcia6iy national claim
Cd nevertheless believed be an essential ngred
snt In the general economy Of the nation as re-
CARDS her pursuits in peace than preparation for war
that Congress should have the right of constructive
har6o,us erecting lighthouses, and shin
enanne' through dangerous bays. Is then the opening
direct communication froai this bay TO the great
highway OF nations" not work undeniaby national in
is character! Are not ''the profits of the
hangers Oh ship-w reck-pursuit by enemy-conye-
hence Tor Prvaeers and vessels of war; are these not
national objects, aud of sufficient importance to claim
ths attention OF the General Government! Then a bar-
bour constructed here. WILL in the of their own
most distinguished Engineers, be formed preciselv
In that part of the coast where il is most needed.
lhe good sense OF the Legislature will readily per.
cetve the special benefit which North Carolina woud
secure to herself by such improved navigation et
Whatever may be the peculiar advantages which ocal
nay give 70 ner' as growing out OF this improvement,
strong conviction must rest upon the mind of cyerv
attentive examiner of the subject that the general adj
vantage to tho whole nation is of such preponderating
influence as to render ii object of peculiar adyan
hse and to bringit within the pale of constitutional an
preparations for the General Government The
Norfolk, with liberaty and zeal, which have ever
characterized the Commonwealth of Virginia are sill
pressing on in an enterprise, by which the rich and A.
oundaut products of this important portion of our State
VIII inevitably be drawn from unless the course of
com merce be diverted by the energies OF our citizens
al we are then disposed TO give the aid of Legislative
authority to our Representatives in Congress- by which
that influence to which the State is entitled in the conn
cts oil The Union, shall be duly felt nothing can moro
eectually strengthen them in their efforts at those mea
which, In the prosecution of this business may be
found needfui."
Banks-"The State Bank has already discontinued
OF its branches and all the local banks have lessen
90 tner circniaiont to sum, within one-thrd of what
Is ou' lew years since, and by conventional re-
gulation Of these institutions with the State thew are all
compelled soon to circumscribe their issues within
~srain sum, much below even what il now is. When
10 these considerations is added the fact that they have
all ceased to produce much profit to the State and es
20 individual stockholders it is but reasonable to sup
ose thxttReT charters, II not will certain
~ not be extended by The Legislature. The State of
North Carolina viii then have the alternative pre-
eepted 10 her. OF submitting TO circulating M dum fur
nished by the United States Bank (the existence nj
which beyond its present charter is certainly doubtful
or oil providing for herself such medium Of exchappe
az w best subserye the interests of her citizens,
ing equally against ruinous excess sudden deceo
cy tits, therefore, respectfully recommended that
ne established some what upon the principle of the
~ States Bank neither exclusively the property of the
State, nor exclusively Of notwithstanding neither on
the prudence OF directors alone, yet committed en-
@1eh an institution restricted ia their annual div
bends to specific sum, and this very little if any bevonJ
Che legal interest OF money II is believed a an innate
check would be provided whose force and influence
from Its very nature would operate the directory al
the moment when loans made, obviae the motive
TO excess OF issues and thereby ensure uniformity in
me currency with the precious mesis-the primary OBJ
5ect to be eGecedby all legislative enactnents on this
important branch OF political economy And G for such
acharter or any other which the State may grant
compensation should be required, it should be paid not
In an annual tax but at the expiration of its charter and
out OF the surplus profits of the Bank For this nod-
hcation oil the system OF banking proposed and re
commended to the adoption of the Legislature, am in
debted to the simultaneous suggestion Of two of the
most distinguished citizens of the State who havs com,
Inanaed almost an unequaed share Of the public conf.
dence, which will doubt not FOR il the respect
fui consideration Of the Legislature"
The Indidns-"The Congress of the United States s
Weir 'ast session, passed law, commonly called the
~lndian Bill" by which the President of the United
states is authorized TO have much of the territory be-
longing TO the United States of the Missssinpj and
not included in any State, divided into suitable num-
Der oil districts for the reception OF such tribes or ma
tons OF Indians may choose to exchange for them
the lands where they resde-and making an am |
pie appropriation for their transportation and snbsis-
tcnce for one year.-This measure, emanang no less
from humanity than from wisdom is the only prac.ica-
bic means Of efecting the voluntary emigration of the
remnant Of Indian tribes still be found In the southern
States-and its contamination devou,Iy he wish

right TO expect the systematic opposition which has
received knowing that IL had been approved and recon.
mended by successive Presidents of the United States

tempt OF the present iustfios Chief Magistrate to car
ry this law into effect far regards the Cherokee
Indians is believed to have resulted from base advisers
many Of whom, having fled from the lust punishment
which awaited them in the communities of which thew
were once members, had become intruders among
these people, ignorant, yet more virtlous than
themselves IL is therefore respectfully recommended
mat the laws OF North Carolina be extended over that
poruon oil ITS territory occupied by the remnant of Che
rokees who have remained within the State; regarding
