But there is a class of titetlical practitioners’ in

Much was gained
by the aid aiven to tho schools by means oftltat
law; and I am happy to know that in many
of the towns, the whole sum has been appro
priated to the saute purpose. A favorable op
portunity seems to me to be presented at the
present time. to give further aid to the cause
' of etlucatioii. by securing to that object this
entire fund. I therefore recommend suclia
tnodificai'on of the law. as will secure the ap
propriation ofthe whole oftliis moucy for the
support of common schools.
An opinion was advanced some years
since, calling in question. to some extent, the
-beneficial influence of the School I-"und, as
it had been applied; and the Legislature by
way of experiint-nt, estttblislied a board of
cotntnissioners of Common Schools; and
under the belief that some essential improve-
ments might be made, an officer his been
employed, at consi-lerable. expense, to visit
the various schools in the State, with refer-
ence to their improvement. As a part of
the sattie plan, provision was subsequently
made by la iv for paying the visitors of the
district schools, one dollar a day for their
services The reason for the imposition of
this tax, which, when the number ofdistricts
and committee-men is considered, will up-
pear to boa considerable sum, has never
been apparent. From time immemorial it
has been deemed a part of obligations which
competent men owed to society, to attend to
these duties; and no inconvenience had ever
lzeen experienced. Until the spirit of benev-
olence and good will of men shall cease to
burn in the hearts ofour people. I anticipate
no difficulty in following, in this respect, in
the paths of our fathers. Without question-
ing the motives of those by whom these ex-
periments were suggested and adopted. I
think it obvious that the public expectations
in regard to their consequences, have not
been realized; and that to continue them,
will be only to entail upon the State a itse-
less expense. In conformity with this opin-
ion, and in obedience to what I believe to be
public sentiment, I recommend the repeal of
these laws.
Next in importance to the benefits derived
from the success of the cause of education,
I congratulate you upon the salutary influ-
ence which improved habits of temperance
are exerting upon the prosperity and happi-
ness of the State. A body of men, long sup-
posed to have been lost to society, and in
their degradation and misery, so long neg-
‘lected that even Christian benevolence, like
the Priest and the Levite “ passed by on the
other side,” have sprunginto active life, and
. with souls once degraded, but now elevated
and ennobled, are rolling on a moral refor-
mation- of unsurpassed importance. Assum-
.ing a name which associates patriotism and
piety in the mind of every American who
utters it, they are working a revolution in
"9-he habits Of societv. bv moral influences and
"without the aid ofilaw, which, in a faithful
‘ adherence to their principles, will give them
_an undisputable title to be regarded the fol-
lowers of the fatlter of our country. They
. are striking at the rootof poverty, pauperism
_-and criirie. '
.. _ :gWhatever may be the merits of the ques-
tion-about which there is much diffi.-rence of
» opinion, as to the policy of the legislation
' which has been adopted respecting the sale
ofspiritous liquors, in any -revision of these
laws which you may deetn necessary, I me.
A otnmend the efforts of these men and this
cause to your favorable consideration.
The banking institutions of State and the
'laws respecting them, will require your
special,-and careful attention. These insti-
tutions have grown up under the authority 0.’

the Sate,and individuals have acquiredrights
in respect to thetn which should not be vio-
lated. The stockholders haverights which
we should respect. and the public have rights
which we should ‘enforce. Fortunately, ive
have been exempted frotn many oftbe calami-
ties‘fwbicb a‘ faithless and reckless system of
banking has entailed upon‘: the people .of
some other States; but thefact is notorious
that practices have grown up here, under the
name of banking, and the forms of law,
which require the corrective application of
the legislative power.‘ A thorough reforma-
tion_on this subject, is demand at your hands
by public sentiment; and I doubt not you
will fearlessly dischargfi the duty. Banks
are ostensibly established for the double pur-
pose ofaiding business by loans upon paper
payalile at short periods; and furnishing it
representative currency. Whenever by
pernianetit, or long loans, they withdraw
their capital from the demands of business;
or. by excessive issues of paper liazard their
capacity for redemption; they violate the
fundamental objectsof fheirexistence. ‘Such
ltas been our system of legislation, and the
practices of_ou,r citizens under it, that the
various interests’ of society have been more
or less interwoven with the action of our
banks. Their capacity for usefulness and
for injury to the public,bas, in the experience
of the past been found to be great,according
to the character of their in-anagetncnt; and
here is one of their chief reasons, why they
should be subject to the rigid supervision of
public authority. While tnauy. and perhaps
most of out‘ banks,b-ave been fairly conducted.
there are startling facts which show that in
the management of others, the interest of
the stock holders, and the claims of the pub-
lic, have been most. signally disregarded.
One ofthe most palpable evils to which I
inviteyyour attention, is the application by
directors and officers of some of the banks,
to their owti use, ofa large amount of their
funds. There are banks whose business has
been crippled; whose stock has been essen-
tially itnpiired, and upon which severe loss-
es have fallen chiefly from the large and
permanent indebtedness of their officers.-
Tliis evil may be rein:-died by prohibiting
under proper penalties, any director or officer
ofa bank from borrowing, directly or indi-
rectly, any portion of its funds. The objvc-
tion, sornctitncs suggested, that you will
thus exclude from bank directions all men
in business, betrays the selfishness of one
who wishes to increase his own bank
facilities by the influence of a seat at the
board, instead of furnishing an argument
which should have force with the disinterest-
ed and l]f]bl~tSSt‘Cl. The directors ofa bunk
are the joint agents of the stockholders and
the public; and who does not see that a man,
incapable of bort-otiing money, is free from
those tetiiptations to violate his duty, which
lie before the intet'estcd and sotnctinies tir-
arently pressed applicants for funds? To
allow the t__ru-.trdiatis of a public institution,
to use their station for their own personal
interest, is contrary to a sound policy and a
wise administration oftbc law. With those
views, long entertained, antl strengthened
by the constant developments of facts, I rec-
ommend as one provisitzn ofa law to be en-
acted, that no person who is a debtor, either
‘IS a principal or surety. to an_v bank, shall
be allowed to be adirector or officer in such
bank ; and that no bank shall be allow-
ed to loan money, directly or indi-
roctly, to any ofits dir«+ctot's or oflicers,or to
discount any paper upon which they are
parties, or in which they are any way inter-
t-stcd.
Another evil to which Icall your attention
is the practice by some of the banks,of taking
usuriss interest, under the specious and de-
ceptive name of exchange. The necessities
ofmen have driven them intoa submission to
these exnctions: and thus many an entcpris-
ing citizen has, in the dialect of the subject
been “shavet” out of his property, under
the forms of l'lW, by institutions created
by law, & responsible to the law. The high-
est rate of exchange between to places. can
never exceed the expense of transmitting
from one to the other, the specie including
the insurance. on its transportation; and it
will fall beloiv that according to the state ot-
the balances between them. Such is the
course of business betwcn this State and the
cities of New ‘fork and Boston,.that the
fair rate of exchange is generally merel‘y
nominal: ‘yet the bills and notes payable in
thpse. cities-——the places ofall others where
the banks want funds-—are discounted at
some of ottr banks at excessive "rates of
exchange, besides the legal interest, and
tbenon the other hand, drafts upon these
same funds are sold to the necessitotts
borrower at an equal exhorbitant rate. Such
practices I hesitate not to say, ought to be
promptly and effectually broken up. The
fair rights oftbe banks I would not impair;
but we; should not forget that the cornmtmity
have rights, and that it is our duty to protect
them. I sttbmit to‘ you the propriety of
establishing a tariff of exchanges, between
this State and the commercjal places with
which we transact business,and to prohibit
under adequate penalties, any bank from
transeendency the prescribed limits.
In some of the banks in which their capi.
tal has been esseritially impaired or seriously
involved, bya large amount ofdishonered or
suspended paper, the practice of making
divdends has prevailed; and thus, in offer-t,a
portion of the capital is withdrawn from the
banks and distributed among their stock
holders. I regard it as the special duty of
the legislaturet o compel every bank to make
good its capital, and to maintain it uniin
paired, or to wind up its affairs. A provis.
ion that any bank which shall declare a
dividend while my part of its capital is im:
p:-iired,shall forfcit a penatly to the State,
,and further provision, that forthe purpose of
determining the right to make dividends, no
supended or dishonored paper shall be
deemed it part of its capital—would have a
most salutary effect in protecting the rights
of the stockholders and of the public..-—
Everv bank would then be compelled to
standibefore the public in its trite character
and the actual value of its stock, would
with a good degree of certainty, be known.
Theimpositions which have frequently been
practiced upon the credulous, through the
fictitious prices of stocks, would thus be pre-
vented. I earnestly recommend that you
give effect to these suggestions by suitable
provisions of law. -To prevent an injurious_
effect upon these banks whose capitals have
become impaired, I recommend to your
avorable notice, applications coming. from
them for ‘a reduction of their stock to the
amount of their present actual sound capital.
Much of the fluctuations in business, and
the expansion and contraction of the curren-
cy, from which many have so severely sul-
fered, have arisen lrom the want of a prop-
er regulation of the issues of the banks.-
Spe-cie in the vaults of a bank is the basis
upon which all bank issues should rest; and
whenever its paper exceeds an amount hear
ing it reasonable proportion to its specie, the
public interest is put at hazard. Sotne fur
ther regulations on this subject is, in my
judgement, imperiously demanded, and I
recommend it to your. wise consideration.
The office ofBank Commissioner is of great
importance both to the Sl()(:lil'l0ld(‘l'S and the
public; and the persons filling it should be
clothed with such powers as will enable them
p rot-nptily to executetlieirtrusts. I recommend
the restoration oftbe authority with which they
were invested by the laws of 1837, and of
Wlll(‘l) by subsequent statutes. they have been
deprived. The variotts Saving Societies which
have been established in different partr ofthe
State, have grown tip to be institutions in
which a great number of people have an interest
Tliottgli they are generally well guarded by
statutory regulations. it is nevertheless the duty
oftlte government, by examing from time to
time their condition, and iriquirittg into the
mode in which they are managed. to see that
those tyegttlations are faithfully observed, and
the property and rights ofall persons interested
in tlicnt are adequately protected. I recurri-
mend thereforc. that they be placed under the
supcrvisibn ofthe Bank (,'onimissioiier,autl that
those offirgers be iuvestetl with the same powers
to exatnibeittto their affair and correct abuses,
which they posses in respect to the banks.
In the niodifications ofthe act of Congress
establislting a uniform system of haul-truptcy,
which it is admitted are necessary. if that act
(the policy of which may well be doubted,) is
to be continued in existence, I sincerely hope
that prsvisions may be made to include all the
inonied corporations of t’.e country- Give
to the citizens the authority, through the in-
terpositions of the courts oflaw, to place in
the hands of cotnniissioncts, the affairs of
every institution issuing a paper currency,
which Tt_'lt1St"S the redemption ofits bills on
(lemaud, and we should hear no more com
plaints ofii dnprcciatcd currency; or exces-
sive exchanges; nor of the'uecessity of a
National Bank to correct the one or regulate
the other. Let every sound. well regulated
back be protected in the enjoyment of every
just right; but let the whole school of
faithless institutions which have been scat-
tered through the country, stttingthe laws
at defiance corrupting the currency, and
deceiving the community, be driven from
existence, and their management exposed to
the world, and our business. our cnrrencv,
and our exchanges would be in a prosperous
condition. ‘
The l:l‘.‘.'S tcspccting the imposition and
collection of l2lXt"S, are in many respects de
fr-zctive and unequal. It has ever been the
policy of our law to assess the taxesin some
suitable proposition, upon the polls and pro
party of the people. A poll taxs equiv.-tlent
to a tax upon real estate of the value of six
hundred and sixty seven dollars, is imposed
cquallv upon every citizen, with certain
specified exceptions, without any reference
to his property. To this extent all men con
tribute ttqually to the support of the govern-
ment, as a consideration for those equal
personal rights which it is its oltject to secure.
In establishing the rule of assessment upon
property, it would seem to be the part of
justice to assess every man according to
what he is actually worth. To just the ex
tent to which property is exempted from
the tax list. is an unequal buttbcn cast upon
the polls If the principle be admitted that
a portion of the public expenses shall be paid
by the equal contribution ofevery citizen,
and the remainder by an equal tax upon the
property ofthe people, thejust and equitable
mode would seetn to be, to make the amount
ofa man's property, at its cash value, the
rule for his assessment. The fact is notorious
that men. of the--largest property, sometimes
pay. comparatively, the smallest amount of
taxes, while severe itn positions are sometimes
cast upon tnen of very moderate means.
Let it be made the duty ol the assessors to
assess every person. at such ti sutn as, from
enquiry of him and otherwise, they believe
him to be actually worth, and if he is dis
satisfied with their judgetnent, give him the
liberty of appeiilingto the Board Relief, and
of being examined before them under oath,
as to the amount of his property; and let
such other facts and evidence be exhibited as
sh.-tll tend to establish the truth. In this
mode through the action ofthe assessors in
the first instance, and by the revision and
correction of the board of relief, an equal and
just rule of taxation would be obt ined.—
Assessments upon merchants.manufdcturers
and mechanics, should in that case, be abol
ished. I recommend thewhole subject to
_vour_wise consideration.
