GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. CONCLUDED. 7 artf. Relative to the tariffof 1828, it will become my duty to lay before you, preambles and resolutions of the States of Virginia, Georgia, and South Carolina. These States are protesting against the present tariff, with a gravity and an earnestness, that entitle the documents which they have placed in our hands, to an attentive perusal, and their rnntents to the most respectful conside

ration. At the approaching session of

Congress, a revision oi the tariii is expected. It is conceded that the present tariff gave satisfaction, neither to its friends nor its enemies. Hence, the probability of it again being made this winter, the subject of animated debate. Interestedaswe are,in havingahigh duly imposed upon every article imported into the country, which the genijjs, industry and ability of our citizens can manufacture or extract from the bowels of the earth, by labour, or that the soil will produce, the present opportunity of expressing your sentiments to your Congressmen, will doubtless be seized upon with an ardor becoming the special occasion. It is the least of my fears, that any opinion you shall express, will look to the aggrandizement of any one section of the confederacy at the expense of another. The three great contending interests of Agriculture, Commerce, and Manufactures, should meet each other on the open field of compromise, and there sacrifice sectional prejudices and jealousies, on the altar of the Divine commandment, "do unto others as you would that they should do unto you," and so settle down upon a new Americau System which shall doeqial justice to all. Let "Greek meet Greek" with the above authority added to the modern maxim, "we caunot buy unless we caivsell," and the hydra which threatens a dismemberment of the greatest monument of genius and patriotism, of the last half century, must sicken and di under the stroke of its influence. National internal improvement. You will be presented with resolutions of me States of Virginia, Georgia and Soulh Carolina, denouncing internal improvements by the Generai Government, as an infraction of the Federal constitution. T.o many successive heavy majorities of G'rgress, have suslained their right to improve the interior of the country as well as the Atlantic coast there is too much justice in distributing equal proportions of the common treasure, to all Darts of the country, and the constitu-

check the progress of a system, bearing in its train, blessings co-extensive with our national boundaries. But though

we may consider ourselves secure, in the continued exercise of this power of so much consequence in the prosecution of works of public and private utility, and for the purposes of defence and commerce: yet a vigilance commensurate with the great interests at stake, mav lead vou prudently to make a re-

newed expression ol your approuauou ui the principle. The preservation of the treasury in nearly its present flourishing state, and the maintenance of this power in the Uuited States, as far as the

constitution, in its limited specifications will permit, constitute our hope for pro-; secuting many of those mediums of intercourse, which have been marked out in the States as such valuable auxiliaries to our prosperity. If the treasury shall be considerably impaired by a revenue tariff only, instead of a tariff of protection, the improvement of the interior, by the loss of its very soul and aliment, must suffer a tremendous check. Domain. The wishes of this state on the propriety of a cession from congress of the unappropriated lands within the

state, have been solemnly expreeu auu forwarded to the proper authorities. Nothing has yet been effected; and perhaps nothing' will be, until the national debt is discharged. When that evnt

transpires, a principal cause lor not yeildingthe lands to the states, will have been removed. It is not so very clear, whether even a general cession to the states would be preferable to a sale

and an equitable distribution of the proceeds among the states where the lands li. or if grants could be obtained, from

time to lime, to aid them in building up

seminaries of learning, endowing colle

ge?, improving the navigation of rivers and for making roads, canals and railways. Application to congress for portions of the publi lands as we want them for special purposes, may be supported by all of the reasons which could apply to a request for a general session on a" demand of right, and would be made with equal modesty and conse

quent prospects of success: without rais-

ing the vexatious question oi line. However much we may think we are entitled

to the lands in question, however anx

School Sections. t will be perceived that a committee of the last congress, reported in favour of authorising a relinquishment to the United States, of the school section sixteen, in any congressional township, when of a limited value, and the selection of any other lands within the district for the use of the in

habitants of such townships. Some of

the state authorities, should be directed to select these lands for the townships

which may deem it desirable to avail of

the privilege, if a law should pass on this

subject. This is of sufficient interest to call for a memorial ftom you on the sub

ject, as there are many school sections

president. Additional sales of college lands, are called for to create a fund lor the purchase of a library and the necessary apparatus for the professorships.

The plan of sales recommended for the disposition of the canal and road grants

of land, would, if applied to those lands, create a handsome fund annually for the gradual increase of a library and other essential college appendages. If any abuaes have existed in the institution,

they should be promptly exposed ; and if on the other hand, its professors have been unrighteously ussailed, it will be your plefau'ig Uk,to forth with announce their innocence that confidence in the college may be more fully confirmed. State Census. The legislature will feel themselves bound to provide for taking the state census, required by the constitution to be taken every fifth year. The ordinarymodeof taking the strength of the state may suffice; but, it is believed, that more accuracy would attend the discharge of the important duty,

if your law required the appointment of

an intelligent individual in each town

What is required, is a law, making that certain which is doubtful. Asylums i &c Among that duties which the Constitution expressly enjoins on the Legislature, is that of making provision for the poor, who may have legitimate claims on the aid and beneficence

of society. Fr this purpose, the Constitution requires, that farms or asylums shall be provided for them, so that they may iind employment and comfort, and "lose, by their usetulfess, the degrading sense of depender.ee." It is for you to iudgre whethrr circumstance will permit

commenced, but owing to a press of private and ofiicial business, the labors of

a single individual, have not yet been able to place the woik in as great a btate of forwardness as might be wished. Without an amanuensis, or assistant, it is believed that the code will be completed

before the present executive retires from

his ctiice. With one, its progress mignt

be greatly accelerated. The necessity of some additional sy stem of laws will soon b felt. And a code, which shall fur

nish the community with law, to enable the people to transact their ordinary af

in our civil policy. But a legislature of
