character calculated to augment materially tho

Those laws oftrade, which gradually and
steadily regulate the supply in accordance
with the den and have insensibly, but
with certainty, furnished our citizens with -
great proportion of such means as their
necessities required and !heir situation ena
bled them to securea and beproftable. Those
legitimate works of internal improvement,
the construction of whichthe onward march
of our State made necessary have felt the
effects of the general impulse. 1t should be
the care of the legislature TO foster by liber-
al enactment these important interests, and
protect them by such laws as are calculated
to secure their rapid construction. AS one
oIthe means necessary to effect this end,
| would strongly recommend the passage of
such laws as would tend to prevent the COM
mission ofany fraud, by The over issue Of
stock or otherwise by the officers ofincorpo-
ted companies, which would effect tie in
tcrest of those entrusting them with the
management Of their affairs or that of the
community at large.
The occurrences which during the past
few months have been brought to light, IN
several of the SteS, demonstrate the exist
ing necessity ofsuch enactments; and until
there has been some action of this kind ia
kon, the construction Of our roads must
necessarily be retarded by considerations
which the Legislature can do much toward
removing, by the imposition of severe
penalties fer offences Of the character re-
fered to, and such other checks as they,
IN their wisdom, may see fit to establish.

Of the speedy completion of our railroads,
and the means which seemed to me proper
to be used for their construction, I slill adj
here to, and would reiterate, DID not a

the necessity Of so doing. In this connsc-
