Oh. Reputation the Governor nobly says;
"The mania for State Banking, and the mad
career Of Internal Improvement, which seized
number Of the States, have involved them IN an
Indebtedness very oppressive but not hopeless
American credit and character require that the
stain of violated faith should be oblterated by our
honest Acknowledgement of the debt and srll
more honest effort to pay it. | therefore recon-
mend the passage of resolutions, expressive OF the
strong interest which this State feels in the iull
redemption of every pledge of public faith, and OF
its utter detestaton of the abominable doctrine OF

and only awats an increase of price TO barter Pub
lie Liberty. This recommendation will come with
peculiar force from you. North Carolina has been
jeered for suggisbness and Incidence, because she
has chosen TO guard her Treasury and protect her
Honor by avoiding debt and promptly meeting her
engagements. She has yielded TO others the glory
of their magnificent expenditures, and will yield
to them all that glory which will arise from re-
puaiation of their contracts. In the language OF
one Of her nobest sons, 1t is better for her to
sleep on in incidence and innocence, than to wake
up lc nfamy and treason.
% But when Public Homer is at stake or Public
Liberty endangered, she will shake the poppy from
her brow and then, for her high souled patriot
ism, for her uuwavering devotion TO the love OF
Liberty for her loyalty to the Union, and for her
stern integrity the preudest sister of the Republic

So on the Rhode Island Question:
"Tbs civil commotion which has lately dis
turbed the patriotic State of Rhode Island is
deeply to be regretted, and its termination in
conflict might have been attended with serious
consequences to the other States. Aside, then,
from sympathy, we cannot be indifferent
spectators. Inequality in the right OF suffrage Is
the ground upon which resistance to the constituted
authorities and overt acts of rebellion attempted

of the issue between the parties in that State,
am constrained to say that there is spirit too
eften manifested in our country to enforce our sup
posed rights, or to redress supposed grievances
by appeals to open resistance, rather than to law
TO reason, and to returning sense of justice. Ii
is not every grievance under which people may
| labor that ustifes resort to force for redress;
nor is it to be believed that in any portion OF our
country, in this frightened age, will course Of
policy be persisted in that is grossly unjust and
oppressive. The steady appeal TO right and TO
reason is sure, in due time to procure the apPro-
pirate remedy. The example of our own State in
her steady efforts reform her representations by
appeals to the Justice of her claims, and the sac-
cess which eventually crowned those efforts, Is
proof of the wisdom Of that policy. therefore
deem it the duty of all friends Of social order to
rebuke, on all occasions that spirit which Is ever
n the blood of brother.
Gov. NJ. recommends the chartering of a Com
pany to construct Railroad from some point on
the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad to Wclden, the
point where the Portsmouth and Roanoke
and Raleigh and Wilmington Railroads meet,
thus connecting Raleigh and the heart of the
State with Wilmington, its chief port, BY
Railroad. Then he proposes Turnpike TO be
constructed By Company, from Raleigh west
ward, by pieces, reaching ultimately to Waynes
burg, at least He thinks the western par, of the
State should somehow be provided with Banking
facilities, and that Congress should be pressed to
open Roanoke Inlet and a water communication
between Pamlico Sound and Beaufort Harber.-
These works would save great numbers of vessel,
from all ports of the Unioa now annually wrecked
on the Carolina coast, especially about Cape Hat
terss He proposes also that the State connect
Lumber River with Cape Fear, by Canal of no
great length cost.
Two years ago, when the Wing party re-
gained power in the Legislature of North Carolina,
it found Loco-Focos enjoying office as Clerks &c.
and kept them there. Now Loco-Focoism has the
ascendancy, ana every " hlS IS swept out-oy the
votes of Members, TOO, who represent Whig Coun-
ties.

Why have we not such Reading Room in this
