01-Gorernor's Message are una
BILE 10 lay before our readers to day more
than one half of Gov. DudIey's Message,
owing to its great lengih without excluding
every thing else. II is certainly an able
document, and surpasses all other Messages
emanaiing from the saline high source in
ability as II does in length. The remainder
will be given 10 our next.
J~Spedker Of the Senate. During the
vote for Speaker Of the Senate on the first
day Of The Session Of the Legislature, Mr.
Carson, of Rutherford, who was considered
as belonging To the Wing party, voted for
Gen. " llson. the V. B. candidate for Spea,
ker. After two Intellectual balloiings the
Senate adjourned. On the next day, Mr..
Carson changed his vote, and gave as rea
son, (su saws the Stsndard) that his vote for
Gen. " Ilsan, yesterday, had been given on
principle, under an impression that Col.
Joyner was IN favor Of National Bank,
but that be wa- now assured that such was
40, the case, and that Gil. Joynor was op.
posed 10 any such institution and lie would
therefore vote for him--of this the Star
gives different version. The comments

10 The Editors Of the Raleigh Register:
have read IN tlis last Standard, the commeeis
Of tho Editor. the remarks purportng To have
been made By Mr.. arson, OF Ruihurf d. " hen about
to east has vote for Speaker OF tho Senate Toes
dRy. These comments make it proper that my 20
silion IN relation to a Bank Of the United States
should b. distinctly Understood. ] am satisfied OF
the constitutional power Of Congress TO establish
a Bank Of the Uniird States, and as to the expe-
diency Of creating the laic Rank OF the United
States, | cntcrtainod no doubt, Independent of
The important services rendered the Government
by that Bank, | know II is have been omluenuy
useful IN eqnal,zing the exchanges, and establish
ne rerieetv sound and wholesome currency
throughout tue country, and regret. and the eoun-
try has abundant cause 10 regret, that the Act of
Congress, .echarering II, vas not permitted 10
become a law. Bot inasnuch that institution
had gone out Of existence and several OF the States
% The Union had since established, and about
To estnblish Banks with large capitals, which able
and distinguished hnanciers believed would he
competent To perform for the couoify all the valu-
able services Of National Institution, prefer
that far trial should be made with them, and
thst until this trial should be given tunder all the
eircu Instances which should have influence in de-
-iding the question:, | should be unwilling TO see
Congress create Bank of the Unitca States II
these services can be performed by State Banks,
With branoho. as contemplated, of which ! an
somewhat doubtful, should prefer them TO a Ma
tional Bank. Ii the experiment fails, shall have
40 alternative but TO return TO my former position
IN favor OF Baak Of the united States, properly
guarded and restricted.
Having thus accomplished the principal purpose
had in view. il may be proper for me say, that
sinec my arrival in Raleigh, have bad no COM
munication with Mr.. Carson, directly or indirectly
on the subject Of a Bank OF the United States, or
on any other subject whatever aud that at the mo-
men, his name was called to vote IN Tuesday, as
he had vuted against me on two previous occasions,
| bad not the most distant expectation he was a
bout TO change his vote in my favor, Indeed, so
certain was that the result of the voting then
/, progressing would be The same as it had been, |
I proposed to the gentleman Who was run IN oppos-
tea 10 me, that we should both retire from The Sc
/ nate Chamber when the next trial came on, to
Which he readily assentcd. | was afterwards in-
! formed that gentonan'who knew my sentiments
on the subject OF a Dank Of the Upitcd States, IN
conversation with Mr.. Carson, stated them 10 be
substantially, as have alVeady done, which sup

versation, l had no knowledge whatever, when his
name was called to vote "A. JOY MIX
