The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1856-12-03

for damages to be instituted against one Of
the parties to the act complained OF. and he
expresses the hope that this State will aid IN
the prosecution oft, as has been done BY other
States under similar circumstances.
II is important that the question should
be determined by the highest judicial author
ity in the country.
I recommend the matter to you favorable
consideration.
By virtue Of a resolution also passed at the
last session, The Hon. David L. Swain was
appointed by me as agent to procure docu-
mentary evidence Of the history Of the State.
The matter is mentioned now merely to say
that a more particular and definite eommu-
nicaton on the subject will be submitted in
the course Of the session.
The Governor was also authorized to pro.
cure copy Of "Tryon's North Carolina pa
pers" from Harvard College.
Gov. Swain was kind enough to undertake
this duty also, and procured copy OF Try
on's Letter Book, while Governor Of the Pros
vince Of North Carolina, which is now IN
his possession, and Of which mere definite in
formation will be given in the above pro-
missed communication.
in compliance with resolution also passed
at the last session. / have addressed circu.
lar letter to the Governors of the most OF the
Atlantic States, asking for the information
desired as to the States Marine Hospitals
where any such exist.
Answers have been received from the Gov
errors Of several States, in which there are
no such establishments owned BY the States
and il is doubted whether such an institu.
ton will be found in any Of the States.
An appropriation was made at the last ses-
sion OF IS, 800 Tor the purpose Of adding Q
wing TO the Governors House, and repairing
the house and premises generally-the mo
ney to be expended under The Board Of Super.
intendents Of Public Buildings. The house
has been greatly improved in comfort and
appearance BY the addition and repairs, ant
the whole premises are now in good order
There is vet an unsettled balance due the
contrae tor for work on the main building. but
it will be found that the whole work has been
executed for about $1,000 less than the sun
appropriated.
Three sets Of resolves from the State oil
New Hampshire, one from the State Of Ohio
and one from the State Of Massachusetts
were forwarded to me by the Governors o
those States. with request that they be laic
before you. II will be seen that all relat,
to Kansas and slavery. and kindred subjects
except one set Of the resolves from New Hamp
shire, relatins to the importation of foreign
paupers and criminals, and 10 the naturali
zation Of foreigners.
The resolves in relation 10 slavery. &c.
Indicate such state Of the public mind il
the States from whence they enenate. as to
render il worse Than useless, IN my opinion, 4
undertake any reply to them.
! Would most respectfully recommend tina
no further notice be taken Of any Of these re
solves.
The already great length Of this commu'
nication reminds me Of the propriety Of bring
ing il to a close. will do so with the sin
gle remark that hope slI your delibera,ion
may be characterized by harmony and cour
tesy. and that yourl sbors may resultin pro
noting the welfare aud prosperity Of th,
State.
