On the peculiar subject ofthe taxation
OF Banks, the views the present Execu.
five were fully. communicated to the
General Assembly on The l2,h day of
December, 1850, and no reason has been
since perceived, TO change the opinion
then expressed. ''' = ~
The general system oftaxatioh, revised
attha last session, was no, to take effect
until Ir'e lstof December, 1851. Itis
supposed TO be repealed by she adoption
Of the Constitution, ichonly continues
in force, suclr laws as we're in operation
on The Is, day of Sepiemberasi.

are 10 establish The salaries of lie Of

oflhe Judiciary, the most Of whom are
to be paid from the State Treasury

Judges arc excluded forms even being
candidates for any other than judicial
positions. They are separated from
their families for more than halfthe year,
and frequently. at great diatance.--
They are on expense, which, in the ex-
,ravagances of the times, is with them,
unavoidably increasing. They must give
up every other business occupation;
books must be purchased and read, and
their entire attenlion, honestly devoted
to their duties, TO retain the confidence
Of the people, and give public satisfac-
ton. Their families must be supported,
and their private affairs followed by me-
glect, instead Of care. Does not then
ordinary justice require an honorable and
liberal support; in other Words. an .ade- |
.quale compensation for those whose ,ime
and talents must be exclusively devoted
to the Stale. Under Democratic inslitu-
tions extravagant salaries should never
be paid. but an homes, liberalty, and
JUS. compensation, would be economy TO
the State, and receive the sanction Of
the people.
The same remarks may, in general,
be applied TO the other officers Of State,
and to clerks and secretaries inlthe other
departments.
g'rhe whole subject is respectfully re-
ferred 10 the jus.ice Of the General As

are an adequate compensation Tor those
on whom theyfare conferred, ,chen they

liquors. This section submitted, in a
seperate article, was adopted by a large
majority. Tho traffic can no longer be
legalized by statuie. The power 10
prevent evils arising from the use of
ardent spirits, SO for as il can be done by
law, is nevertheless, conferred upon the
General Assembly. What provision
should be made; is matter for serious
consideration. Laws hitherto have not
produced the desired effect. They have
been the origin Of many prosecutions,
but they have not prevented the retailing
Of Intoxicating drinks, though prohibited
under severe penalties. Drunkenness
and immoralities arising from the use of
