I M,RYLtSD.-Gov. WIN. Grason transmitted
i his Message to the Legislature on tuesday. Ii
ititts the Debtzot the State at So 5,213, GOO, OF
which Si031O,0O0 are actually due. the balance
sisirg OF S3,000000 subscribed 10 the Chesapeake
-nnd Ono SaiIr road. SC. which have not yet been
expended The sloOo.ooo contributed to and
expended upon that work already return good
interest The = COO O00 invested in the Chesa
peake and Ohio Cana. have returned nothing thus
ar, nor will iley until,ie works completed TO
Cumberland, which the Governor says. it sheuld
DC ns soon as possible. On=the $l,0o0,000
loaned to the Tide Water Canal Company, no in
tercsi has vet been received. Baltimore and
Su=quehanna Railroad is rapidly paying OFF its
debts it has already paid 5000 into the Treasury,
and will soon pay more largely. The State lax
yields less than anticipated. and is vet all
collected : end the scmi-annua interest on the State
Debt, due on the Is. of January, cannot be fully
met. The Taxes must be Increased
The Governor urgently calls for Resumption
of Specie Payments by the Banks, opposes anv
permission TO issue Small Notes, and contends that
National Bank could do nothing to regulate the
Currency. not only in the face of our National ex-
pericnce but by gross pervsr.on AID garb!ing OF
the history Of The Bank Of England. Throughout
the last eight years, Great Britain has suffered not
onI, from her own commercial! embarrassments but
seriously from ours; and tnctuation, depression,
sagnatioa have frequently ovcrtaken her, get she
has not once ccaSeS TO enjoy The blessings Of a
Sound and Cailorm Currency. Why is this =
She is far more Commercial than we, and conse
auentlv more exposed to and affected by CONNER
cul yicissitudes, her amouAt OF Indebtedness eud
paper evidences OF yauc greatly exceed oars. yet
hc Cu1rcncy has stood firm through oil. Why
,s men attempt to argue down such notorious
facts The loag Suspension of the Bank of Eng
land Of which the Governor speaks, was in truth
Suspension by the Government, not by the Bank ::
the Government impcratYely needed altle specie
in the Bank to support Its Continental wars :;
whercupon il borrowed the coin, and directed the
Bank te suspend paying specie which it did. For
lime, the Bank paper continued equalto and even
q, u premium for coin and the continued, enormous
!oars Of tue Gov crnment were the main cause Of
lis depreciation.
The Message opposes any requisition on the
Banks to receive The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
note, at par.
On the subject Of the Tariff, the Governor dcs.
cants in the spirit sf the and bitter school
Of ancient Fcdcrasmin which he has passed his
life. The more enlightened portion of his old anti.
Protective associates have long since discarded
the doctrines he still cherishcs with the blind idol
airy Of second childhood
La conclusion, he warmly urges an increase of
cur Navy, and especially the creation of feet Of
steamship. to defend Chesapeake Bay in case of
u war. We do not understand that he wishes the
Legislature Of Maryland 10 build them.
RHODE IsLAsp-The three days Election TO
determine whether the New Constitution formed
by the Free Suffrage Convention shall be adopted
has closed ana we believe the friends of that in
,li,ution declares all free White male citizens over
III years of age legal voters, though we believe
persons of color are excluded from the Right Of
Suffrage by=the Constitution which they may never.
,heless aid to establish. Votes of abseatae., the
sick persons confined in jails, &c. were taken By
proxy and majority of all the Free Adult Male
citizens were held necessary the adoption of the
instrument. The whole number in the State i.
some $4,000, and of these nearly IA 600 have voted
f-r the New Constitution. The frceholdcrs and
existing Government do no. recognise ii. SO there
will be Two sets Of State Officers chosen next
Spring, and then law viii be invoked TO settle
which is the legitimate. We trust way may be
found 70 carry the question legally up to the S.
Supreme Court.
