GOVERNOR CLIN'l‘ON’S MESSAGE.
. ' (CONCLlJDEb.)
I am happy to perceive the continuance offcon-
temporanedus efforts on the part of two of the
western states to initiate and create an artificial
navigation between the River Illinois and Lake
Michigan, and also between the Ohio River and
Lake Erie. Whenever either of these projects is
executed, tltere will exist on the completion of
the western canal, it water communication as well
on the side of the great lakes, as of the Atlantic
ocean, between the Hudson and the Mississippi.
between New-York and New-Orleans, and the
vastiand populous regions connected with them.
Considering that the patriotic states which con-
template these important works, are, comparative-
ly speaking, in the infancy of their -settlement,
and have to struggle with the embarrassment»
which must necessarily arise from the peculiari-
ty of their position, and taking into view the bene-
fits which must result to the nation at large from
the completion of these communications, it is
right and proper that the national govemineiit
should dispense its muiiificent aid, and I do not
hesitate to recoriimeiid a favourable expression
of the sense of the legislature on this subject.
Claiming no assistance in the prosecution of our
own operation, we can with the more force advo-
cate the just views and promote the laudable ob-,
jects of our sister states.
It is certainly expedient for the legislature on
all great occasions, but especially in relation to
future internal improvements, to cherish a pro-
spective spirit, and to provideyin season for the
exigencies of future times." The creation ofa
general board for public improvements, to com-
mence its operationsofter the completion of the
present undertakings, would be a wise and patri-
otic arrangement. This board, selected from our
most enlightened and public-spirited fellow-ciii-
zens, and invested with power to establish and
facilitate all useful channels of communication,
and all eligible modes of improvements, would be
enabled, by a judicious application of the public
resources, to conduct us to an elevation of unpa-
ralleled prosperity. _; ‘g ‘-
From June, 1817, to October, 182,1, inclusive,
two millions eight hundred and“r.inety-three
tliousand fiveltuntlred dollars have been borrow-
ed for making-the canal, and the lenders have ad-
vanced tot-he state $91,202 50-100 in premiums,
for the-benefit’ arising from these investments of
capital. Ofthe aggregate borrowed‘. $1,400,000
were obtained at an interest of five per cent. and
the remainder at six per cent ; and $1,070,000
have been received by the acting commissioners
from the first day of January. tothe 14th Decem-
ber last. The yearly interest of all the cana
loans amounts to $159,580. ‘
The comtnissioners oftliecanal. food were an-
thorized to borrow in 1821'and 1822, a sum which
with the exist,i0:l}Ls£¢¥.¢n‘tie will__amount to 1,600,-
000 dollars ea“f:li’iyear ; provided, however, ‘that
the interest on the whole-suin borrowed shall not
exceed the income of the canal fund for the time
being. Under this poyyer, Si, 400,000 were bor-
rowed in the year ending thé'30
The canal fund is at present estimated to produce
$200,000 aiinually. It has actually produced
to the 30th Nov. including $2 200 received for
tolls, $167,767 23-100, to which if we add the
commutation for the steam-boat tax paid the 24th
of Dec. the amount will be $172,767 23-100, in-
dcpendentlyfol’ other tolls during the year, the
aggregate of which is unknown, and exclusive al-
so of the duties on salt for the quarter ending in
Nov. which hate not yet been received at the
treasury. The avails from theseisources, added
to the before riieniionedsum of $172,757 23-100.
will probably make the income of the canal fund
amount at least to S2C_0,000.-—Tlll~S sum, though
more than adequate to pay the annual interest on
the existing debt, will not be sul-‘ficient to author-
ize the commissioners of the canal fund to borrow
the additional sum of $51,400,000 for the next sea-
son; and it is therefore requisite that further le-
gislative provision be made for the purpose, espe-
cially as it is impossible to estimate with any pre-
cision the incomc for tollsduiing the ensuing year.
Theannual surplus of the canal fund after pay-
ing the interest of the debt now existing and to be
hereafter incurred on that account, ought to be
appropriated to the extinguishment of the princi-
Palé and as this excess will increase with the pro-
gress oftime, the accumulation of population, the
augmentation of wealth, and the extension ofin-
land trade, there cannot be a doubt not only as to
the rapid discharge ofihe debt, but as to the cre-
ation of an immense revenue, applicable to all the
purposes of _beneficial__p ovement, and all the
objects of good governinéiil
The public debt, besides the canal debt, con-
sists of the stock debt created b_v the act to im-
prove the funds passed 215i’.-'_'Aplll, 1818, which
amounts to . $1,000,000
Debt due the Bank of New-York, 230,000
951,280,000
For which a yearly interest of 76,800 dollars
is paid.
The general fund of the state. exclusive ofthe
common school fund, the canal fund, the literature
fund, and the Lewiston school fund, amounts to
$3,077,856 98-100, principally in bank stock and
bonds and mortgages. “
The revenue for the year is estimated at 3469.-
92s 91.100, which with $43,463 53-100, the bal-
ance in the treasuryon the first of December,
will make $513 392 44-100, and as the expenses
of government and other ordinary demands will
not exceed $379 800, there will remain the sum
of$l33.572_44—l00 to meet extraordin-.u'y a_ppro-
priations for the current year and especially pay-
ment in part ofthe debt due to the ban'k of New-
York. Independently of ibis general fund the
state owns near a million of acres of land.
The common school fund consists of $1,139,-
130 57-100, and twenty-five thousand acres of
land—lt yields annually $75,417 86-100.
The literature fund amounts to S99,.’>S5'8-‘2'-
100, which produces an income of$5,l42 43,-100.
It has also 2,856 acres of land. ‘

The Lewiston school ftmd is $3,757 35.‘1oio,'
the annual produce of whichis $212 74-100‘.‘...a
few lots of land are also invested in this fund.
Th‘? Pl'oductiv'e_ income of the ‘canal fund aris-
es from auction duties, duties on salt, canal tolls,
and 5000 dollars ‘as a conirniitatioit for a fax on
steam boat passengers. ‘
Theunproductive canal fund consists ofG'riind
Island in the Niagara river ; valuable lands bor-
dering op the ()'nondaga salt springs, and 104,632
apres which have been given by companies or ii‘)-
divitluals. And there is also a contingent canal
fund coniposed of the ‘proceeds of lotteries lo be
drawn after the sums granted by the present lot-
tories are paid, and a tax of $250,000 on lands ad.
joining the‘ca'nal, the collections of wliich is sus-
pended. .
This general view of the funds and resources
of the commonwealth, is, I trust, calculated l'o’en-
courage us in our career of useful improvement,
and to elicit furthci‘ manifestations of the public
munificence on all pl‘0p_ei' occasions.
The excellent tliieciion vvhich has been given
to the public bountyin appropriations for com-
mon schools, academics and colleges is very per-
ceptible in the multiplication of ourseminaries of
education, in'the increase of the number‘ of stu-
dents and in the acquisition of able and skilful
teachers. "
The Lancasterian or monitor-ial systemfor as it
has been einphaiically denominated, the system of
mutual instruction, is making its ivay intlie com-
munity by the force of its transcenderit merits.
Our common schools have flourislied beyond all
former example: and our higher institutioiis, the
seats of literature and science, continue to main-
tain the respectable cliaracter which they have so
honorably acquired. Having in the course oftlie
last year had an opportunity from personal obser-
vation to witness the progress of Columbia Col-
lege, I cann‘ot omit on this occasion to express
the high sense which I entertain ofthe able su-
pevintendance of the trustees, of the learning and
attention of the president and professors, and of
the laudable advances of the students ; and my‘
intelligence from the other colleges is also pro-
pitous to the progress of knowledge, and honor-
able to those venerable and distiuguislicd men
who watch over their interest.
Our medical establishments are also in a con-
dition uncommonly prosperous.
I am happy to have it in my power to say that
this state has alw-.t_vs evinced a liberal spirit in the
promotion of education, and lam persuaded that
no consideration short of total inability will ever
prevent similar demonstrations., The firsttluty
of a state is to render its citizens virtuous by in-_
tellectual instruction and moral discipline, by
enlightening their minds, purifying their hearts
and teaching them their rights and their obliga-
tions. These solid and enduring honors which
arise frotn the cultivation of science and the ac-
quisition and diffusion ofltnowledge, will out live
the renown of the statesman and the glory of the
warrior ; and ifany stimulous were wanting in a
case so worthy of all our attention and patronage,
we may find it in the example before our eyes, of
the author of the declaration of Independence,
who has devoted the evening of his illustrious
life to the ‘er-itablislmient of an university in his
native state. "‘ ‘ ‘ " ‘ '
fore you the proceedings of several legislatures,
relative to the appropriation of a small portion of
the national domain 10 the purposes of education.
It is stated that in eleven new states and territo-
ries, the general government has appropriated
one thirty-sixth part of the public lands for com-
mon schools, and one fifth part of that tliirty-sixth
part for colleges and academics. And, while it
is admitted that this disposition is in‘al_l respects
proper and land-a1.le, it is contended, that the oth-
er members of the confederacy are entitled to a
correspondent benefit out of the same common
fund. This claim appears to be sustained by the
most conclusive reasoning, and it is believed to
be impossible for Congress to resist an application
so just and beneficial. If,“ however, this measure
were calculated to embarrass the financial ar-
rangements of the national government, to make
a serious inroad on the national domain, or to dis-
parage the interests of the states which have al-
ready been benefited, I should be entirely unwil-
may be adopted, the quantum of population, ‘or
the extent of territory of each state, the deduc-
tion from the landed estate of the empire would
be so small as scarcely to.be felt.‘ In"ei'.l.er case
it would not exceed ten millions out of the four
hundred millions of acres owned by the U. States.
ft is our duty to co-operate in obtaining justice
for our sister states as well as for ourselves. If
we were willing to wave the hen»-.-_fit which might
be deri‘-'ed from the success of thisgapplicazion, it
would furnish no just ground of hostility to the
claim in general, and indeed in such case it would
entirely correspond with the dictates of magna-
nimity to advocate it with all our weight and in-
fluence. -This state, on the basis ofappropriation,
originally adopted, would be entitled to 800,000
acres for our common schools and 160.000 for our
colleges and academics, which with proper man}
agement, and in connection with existing funds
would answer all the requisitions of education,-
While the pacific state in general ofthe civiliz-
ed world is a subject of sincere congratul-ation,‘\vc
ought not to deceive ourselves with tliechituei'ical
expectation that we are to witness the continued
absence of these awful calamities which have af-
flicted the human race. After long and severe
SlI'll!-il{lcSi unprecedented in the annals of max}-
ktnd. a gener-.d’peat’:e became ne-:'e>'S'aVY- 1"’ 15
now in a very considerable degree a question of
finance. And if the powers of Eui'ope, hgve
stayed the hand of desolation in order to recover
their exhaustetfstrength, and to remove their fis-
cal embarrassments, we may be ‘assured that a
re-establishment- of’ the resources will -produce a
revival of the ravages of war. The exicnsion of
our territory from the Atluiitiit 10 the Pacific 0*
cean has increased our points of contact and con-
sequently of collision with foreign natio_ns—;tnd
