GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.j undertakings as the latter, should prevent our embarking prematurely; but while our sister 6tate arc acting with energy in these matters, outjht we to remain in ignorance of what we are capable of effecting? May not a board of Internal improvements be constituted, or if that be thought inexpedient, may it not be made the duty ofone or more of the state officers to collect nnd di crest information on the nature of the ob
structions in our streams, their susceptibility of
improvement, and the cost of, and advantages to be derived from canals and rail-ways? Were there merely a place where a more perfect knowledge of these matters could be collected and diffused, and to which publick attention could be directed, individual enterprise, and occasional aid from fheiGeneral Government would furnish materials, and the expenses incurred would be small compared with the importance of the objects to be attained. This view is based in part upon the conviction that the great benefits flowing from the construction of rail-ways now in progress in the adjoining states of Ohio and Kentucky, will, within the lapse of a few vears, induce our citizens to de-
mand such modes ot conveyance irom me nanus of their Representatives, of which the most pro
minent will commence at the Ohio river, and, passing through the interior, terminate at our, port of entry on the Lake. The contemplation,
of such a work, should encourage us to ask a sur
vey of the route by one of the United Mates Engineers and as the helping hand of the General Govenrnment has on but two occasions been extended to Indiana, perhaps, fruitless as our nravers have been, a portion of the public do
main on the'line may be sot apart to aid in its
construction.
The opinions I have repeatedly expressed re
lating to the necessity of a general system ol Jb.d
ucation, one that will carry influence into every
circle in society, have undergone no other
change than to fasten on my mind its necessity
in preservation of our political and civil mstitu tions. The want of competent persons to in
struct in our Township Schools is a cause of
complaint in many sections of the state, and it is
to be regretted that in employing transient per
sons from other states, combining but little of
qualifications or moral characther,the profession
is not in that repute that it shnuld be . Teachers permanently interested in the institutions of the country, possessing a knowledge of the
manners and customs our extended population
and mingling with it, would be more calculated
to render essential service and be better receiv
ed than those who come in search of employ
ment. The want of good instructors is a diffi
culty existing else-whcre, and in several states
of the Union to obviate it seminaries are estab
lished solely to instruct and prepare teachers,and those institutions, it is said, derive much beneGt
from connecting with them the manual labor
system.
i lie ionsutuiion oi our state enjoins ic as a
duty upon the Legislature, as soon as circumstances will permit, to provide by law for a general svstem of education. The best of all tests.
is practical results; and without waitng for over
whelming circumstances to force us to measures,
should there not be somcexetion that would more
efficiently contribute in carrying into effect that injunction of the constitution? Would it promote the object and be good policy for the next
Legislature to apply the interest of the fund arising from the saline lands in establishing, on the manual labor or some other plan, one or more Seminaries for the preparation of young men for township schools? Or would it not be policy on the manual labor system to connect a preparatory department of the kind with the Indiana College? In either case, that the benefits may be distributed equally to all parts of the State, young men for the institution should be apportioned on the scale of representation, and selected from each county in such way as might' be thought best. These enquiries are esteemed worthy of examin
ation, but no ether steps are advised, than, if j
thought plausible, to consult the trustees and faculty of the College upon the propriety of the measure as'rcgards the propose a connexion with that institution. You, gentlemen, are possessed of such information as will enable you to judge of the achievements of our late school law, and if not equal in its operations, or if in any other way offensive or objectionable, you can apply the remedy. As the northern part of our stale is improving beyond the most sanguine expectations, and the trade by the way of the lake is becoming consequently important, the want of good and secure harbours is much felt. The outh of Trail creek in this state it believed to be converted into a good harbour and will be our port of entry. This place, Chicago in Illinois, and the mouth of the St. Josephs in Michigan, are all considered eligible points on the southern extreme of the lake, in each of which portions of the citizens of
Indiana are interested. As such improvements are w ithin the acknowledged powers of the general government, it is recommended that our delegation in Congress may be requested to unite with that of Illinois and Michigan, in procuring appropriations for the improvement of the harbours of these points. The propriety of establishing a State Bank, was submitted to the last General assembly as a measure of relief then under examination by the public Journals. Its expediency was a leading subject of enquiry during the last session, and having been subsequently transferred to the people for further investigation, you, no doubt, come prepared to speak the public sentiment & to ac.t upon it advisedly. If upon an interchange of views, it is ascertained that the public voice is adverse to the measure, to extricate us from cur embarrassments we must depend upon the forberance of creditors and on the industry and economy which have characterised the past year. If on the other hand you find the public wishes and interests demand a Bank, in establishing it, it will be for yoi4o introduce the needful restrictions, checks and guards to save it from political
bias or influence, to prevent any abuse or excess on the part of the directors and others employed in the administration of its affairs, and to secure the public against the probability of ultimate loss; and in the latter event, so far as executive agency may be required, you may command a 'zealnus co-oneration.
In the acceptance of office, at the hands of
our fellow citizens, in honorable ana responsible departments of our government, we have taken upon ourselves obligations, faithfully to devote ourselves to their service, and if their interests can be advanced by the adoption of any proposition of mine or such as may originate from the better judgment of the Legislature, I will cherfully unite for the purpose. JACKSON vs. RANDOLPH. There has been quite a hubbub at Richmond, as appears from the subjoined, copied from the Baltimore Gazette. Excitement in Richmond. A friend in this city has communicated to us a letter just received from a highly respectable gentleman in Richmond, from which we make the following extract.: "Richmond, Xov- 18tA, 1833. "Our city is in considerable agitation to-day.
The Governor has ordered the troop of Cavalry to
to be in readiness at a moment's warning with
nine round of ball cartridge. It is said by some that Robert B. Randolph will be rescued tonight, and the jail forced. The feeling towards R. in his favor is very ereat in this city. Others
say that it is to prevent the taking away of John
II. Pleasants, in case the Judge desines against P. The Governor has actually been to see R., some say twice, after which his orders were is
sued. I he excitement here this evening is very
great the preparing of fire-arms looks rather
ugly. I am in hopes that every thing will yet be
right." APPOINTMENT BY THE PRESIDENT.

professionally and otherwise. Ilis personal de
votion to Mr. Van Burcn may some times possibly warp his better judgement, as we think it did in the part he took in the controversy respecting the Chcrokees,against whom, and with
the vieorgians, it was the cue of Mr. an Bu
ren to take sides. We fear too, somewhat, that on great constitutional questions Mr. Butler
may, from his political associations, have been more or less tainted with the perilous sophistries of the Virciania school; vet as these were so
signally set at nought,and overwhelmingly crush
ed, by the doctrines of the Proclamation, we
hope that in the high sphere to which he is now called, Mr. Butler, if he accepts the appointment, will, on all such questions, look to the Constitution itself, and its lucid and authoritative expositions in the recorded opinions of the
Supreme Court of the United States, and not to
any party gloss or mteruption of its provisions and just powers. JT Y. American.
