tv . - - c will require the appropriation of upwards of$200,000 to correct, and which claim theacimediate attention of Congress. lirreflecting on the proper means of defending the country, we cannot shut our tyfes to the consequences which the introduction and use of the power of steam upon the ocean are likely to produce in wars between maritime States. We can* not yet see the extent to which this power may be applied in belligerent operations, connecting itself as it does with recent improvements in the science of granery and projectiles ; but we need have no fear of being left, in regard to these things, behind the most active and skilful of other nations if the genius and enterprise of our fellow-citizens receive proper encouragement and direction from Government. True wisdom would, nevertheless, seem to dictate the necessity of placing in perfect condition those fortifications which are designed for the protection of our principal cities and roadsteads. For the defence of our extended maritime coast, our chief reliance should be placed on our navy, aided by those inventions which are destined to recommend themselves to public adoption. But no time should he lost in placing our principal cities on the seaboard and the lakes in a state of entire security from foreign assault. Separated as we are from the countries of the Old World, and in much unaffected by their policy, we are happily relieved from the necessity of maintaining large standing armies in times of peace. The policy which wasjadopted by Mr. Monroe, shortly after the conclusion of the late *war with Great Britain, ofpreserving a regularly organized staff sufficient for the command of a large military force, should a necessity for one arise, is founded as well in economy a* in true wisdom. Provis. ion is thus made, upon filling up the rank ^ and file, which can readily be done on any emergency for the introduction of a system of discipline both promptly and efficiently. All that is required in time of peace is to maintain a sufficient number of men to guard our fortifications, to meet any sudden contingency, and to encounter the first shock of war. Our chief reliance must be placed on the militia. They constitute the great body of national guards, and, inspired by an ardent love of country, will be found ready at all times and at all seasons to repair with alacrity to its defence. It will be regarded by Congress, I doubt not, at a suitable tirn??, as one of its highest duties to attend to their complete organization and discipline. The state of the navy pension fund requires the immediate attention of Congress. By the operation of the act of the 3d of March, 1837, entitled "An act for a/ln.iniat*n>i/\n nT t hp iuwic ci^uuauic atiitiiiiiouaiiui' ?navy pension fund," that fund has been exhausted. It will be seen from the accompanying report of the Commissioner of Pensions^hat there will be required for the paymment of navy pensioners, on the first of Iqly next, 884,006 061-8, and on the first of January, 1842, the sum of 860,000. In addition to these sums, about 86,000 will be required to pay arrears of pensions which will probably be allowod between the first of July and the first of January, 1842, making in the whole 8150,006 061-8. To meet these payments there is within the control of the Departments the sum of 828,040, laaving a deficit of 812196 001-8. The public faith requires that immediate provision should be made for the payment of these sums. ^ In order to introduce into the Navy a desirable efficiency, a new system of accountability may be found to be indispensably necessary. To mature a plan hav. in?? for its obiect the accomplishment of o ^ I an end so important, and to meet the just expectations of the country, require more time than has vet been allowed to the Secretary at the head of the Department. The hope is indulged that, by the time of your next regular session, measures of/ importance, in connexion with this branch of the public service, may be matured for your consideration. Although the laws regulating the Post Office Department only require from the officer charged with its direction to report nt the usual annual Session of Congress, the Postmaster General has presented to me some facts connected with the financial condition of the Department, which are deemed worthy of the attention of Congress. Bv the accompanying report of that officer, it appears that the existing liabilities of that Department beyond the I means of payment at its command cannot j be less than five hundred thausand dollars. I it n In in. n*iMm?inn kronnh n f Ml o ! ill mic lawo uigaiii^iug kiui. ui uiivii vi public service confine the expenditure to its own revenues, deficiencies therein cannot be presented under the usual estimates, for the expenses of Government. Jt must therefore be left to Congress to determine whether the moneys now due to contractors shall be paid from the pub. tic Treasury, or whether that Department tihall continue under its present embarrassments. It will be seen by the report of the Postmaster General that the recent lettirvgs of contracts in several of the States have been made at such reduced rates of compensation as to encourage the belief that if the Department was relieved frr?m evistinrr diffirnltips. its fntnrp HV"VM ?.w? ? ^ * ~ , operations might be conducted without any further call upon the general Treasury . . The power of appointing to office is one of a character the most delicate and responsible. The appointing power is evermore exposed to be led into error. Witli anxious solicitude to select the most trustworthy for official station, I cannot be supposed to possess a personal knowledge of the qualifications of every applicant. I deem it, therefore, proper, in this most public manner, to invite, on the part of the Senate, a just scrutiny into the character and pretensions of every person whom I may bring to their ( I ibh m m i ? ? ?? ttiu?u notice in the regular form of a nomination for office. Unless persons every way trustworthy are employed in the public service, corruption and irregularity will inevitably follow. I shall, with the greatest cheerfulness, acquiesce in the decision of that body, aid, regarding it as wisely constituted to aid the Executive Department in the performance of this delicate duty, I shall look to its "consent and advice" as given only in furtherance of the best interests of the country. I shall also, at the earliest proper occasion, invite the attention of Congress to such measures as in mv judgment will be best calculated to regulate and control the Executive power in reference to this vitally important subject. I shall also, at the proper season, invite your attention to the statutory enactments for the suppression of the slave trade, which may require to be rendered more efficient in their provisions. There is reason to believe that the traffic is on the increase. Whether such increase is to be ascribed to the abolition of slave labor in the British possessions in our vicinity, and an attendant diminution in the supply of those articles which enter into the general consumption of the world, thereby augmenting the demand from other quarters, and thus calling for addition al labor, it were needless to inquire. The highest considerations of public honor, | as well as the strongest promptings of hu- j manity, require a resort to the most vigorous efforts to suppress the trade. In conclusion beg to invite your particular attention to the interests of this /district. Nor do I doubt that, in a liberal spirit of legislation, you will seek to advance its commercial as well as its local interests. Should Congress deem it to be its dutyjto repeal the existing Sub-Treasury law, the necessity of providing a suitable place of dcposite for the public moneys which may be required within the District, must be apparent to all. I have feft it to be due to the country to present the foregoing topics to your consideration and reflection. Others, with which it might not seem proper to trouble you at, an extraordinary 6fcssion, will be laid before you at a future day. I am happy in committing the important affairs of the ,country into your hands. The tendency of public sentiment, I am pleased to believe, is towards the adoption, in a spirit of union and harmony, of such measures as will fortify the public interests. To cherish such a tendency of public opinion is the task of an elevated patriotism. That difference of opinion as to the means of accomplishing these desirable objects should exist, is reasonably to be expected. Nor can all be' made satisfied with any system of measures. But 1 flatter myself with the hope that the great body of the People will readily un- , ite in support of those whose efforts spring from a disinterested desire -to promote their happiness; to preserve the Federal and State Governments within their respective orbits ; to cultivate peaie with all 1 the nations of the earth, on just and hon orable grounds; to exact obedience to the laws ; to entrench linertv and property in < full security; and, consulting the most i rigid economy, to abolish all useless expenses.

We learn from an advertisement in the Fayetteville Observer, that a Seminary for young Ladies was incorporated by an Act of the General Assembly of North Carolina at its last session, under the name of "Floral College." It is located in Robeson county, near the western border, and will be opened on next Monday under the superintendence of the Rev-John R. Mcintosh and Miss Caroline M. Jewett. The plan of this Institution embraces a complete course of liberal education extending throughout a period of four years, and closing with a Diplomti and a Degree. The arrangements me, in all tcspects, those usual in Colleges. The location is represented as healthy and the expense very small, as may be learned from the advertisement. We have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Mr. Mclnlosh and consider his connection with the College as a recommendation. Indeed we regard with sincere satisfaction the establish ment of such an Institution so near to us. , . North Carolina is not very boastful, but we rather think, that the practical utility of her legislation for a. few years past, in reclaiming her waste lands, in facilitatingcommunication between different parts of the State, and in providing the means of education for her citizens, I might put to the blush some of her bragging neighbors uh) are in the habit of affecting a contempt for her, and a large part of whose legislation consi.Mts in the establishment or overthrow of political dogmas. We have not seen any political newspaper (except the "Intelligencer" of Washington) with which we are so well sat. isfied as we are with the "American Sentinel" of Philadelphia.

The Minstrel left Limerick, Ireland, on the 21st of April last, for Quebec, with one hun. [Jred and forty-one passengers emigrants, in. tending to settle in Canada. The vessel had ; a tolerable passage up to Tuesday last, at four j o'clock in the morning, when she struck on Red Island Reefl There was a heavy sea running at the time, but the boats wero launched and made fast to the fore chains. Upwards of one hundred passengers embarked in the boats, but their doom was quickly sealed; the vessel heeled off" into deep water and went down stern foremost, so suddenly that the "painters" of the boats could not be cast off, and the people who had embarked in the boats perished, with their equally unfortunate companions on board the ship, except four passengers, who alone of upwards of 150 souls, remained to tell the sad tale. These eight persons had embarked in the jig, which was towing astern, and fortunately lor thein the rope which a tached it to the 1 ?1 broke when she went down. They succeeded in pulling to White Island, where they remained till the following day, when they were taken off by ship Wellington, Mc. i [ntyre, and brought to Gross Isle. i Capt.

Touching the expediency of such an institution ; little need be said. If the present condi- j tion of the currency does not furnish evi-! dence enough of the evil which thecoun-1 try must suffer without it, there is noth- j ing of efficacy that could be argued to make the case plainer. The Nationallritelligencer, a few days since-republished a letter from Mr. Monroe, on this subject, written some ten years ago, in which his opinion in favor of the constitutionality of a bank, as a fiscal agent of the government, is explicitly declared. The following letter from Mr. Crawford, in reply to one addressed to ,-Jnm by Mr. Ingersoll, of Pennsylvania, is equally to the point. It may be remarked, that Mr. Crawford, besides the hijih claims which his . character and genius possess upon the public regard, was able to speak on this question with all the light of eight year^ experience in the Treasury Department. His views, therefore, arc those of a practical man, as well as of asagacieus statesman.?Char. Cour. Woodlawn, Dec. 1831. Dear Sir?Your friendly letter, on the subject of the United States Bank, has been received bv due course of mail, j The opinion, which I formed of the Bank I of the United States, when I was a mem j ber of the Senate, was the, result of a j careful examination"of the Constitution of the United States, made without any pre- 1 conceived opinions. That ia recorded in two speeches which I made in the Senate, in the year 1811. Sinpe that time, I hare had no occasion of reviewing i this question. My opinion rexain un1 altered. . I was Secretary of the Treasury more than eight years, and during that 1 had ample evidence of the great ability of the Bank of the United States, in managing the fiscal concerns of the Union. I am persuaded that qo man, whatever his preconceived opinion may be, can preside over the Treasury a year, without being deeply impressed with the expediency of the United States Bank in conducting the finances of the Union. The provision in the Constitution,' which gives Congress the power to pass all laws which may be necessary and proper to carry mto effect the enumerated powers, gives Congress the right to pass the Bank Bill, unless a law most proper to carry into effect the power to collect and distribute the revenue should he excluded by that provision. The oppohents of the constitutionality of the Bank place'great stress upon the word " necessary*" contained in the grant of power, and insist that no law can be necessary but such, that without which the power could not be carried into effect. Now this construction appears to me to be indefensible." It does seem to me, that the words 44 Necessary and proper,"' cannot exclude a law that is most proper to carry the power into effect. Yet the unconstitutionality of the Bank can be pronounced only upon that construction.. It does appear to me that the framers of the Constitution never could have inten. ded to exclude the passage of a law most proper to carry a power into effect because it might be carried imperfectly into effect by another law. My construction of the grant of power to pass all laws which may , be necessary to carry the enumerated powers into effect include the power to pass all which are necessary and power to carry the enumerated powers into effect in the most perfect and complete manner, * and not in an incomplete aud imperfect manner. I have seen a complete development of ! the President's plrfn of a Bank. It is pos- | sible that by his plan, the transmission of i the revenue may be effected, but the safe- 1 ty of the public depositee cannot be effec- J ted by the President's plan. The advan- J tagesof this security to the public incaU | eulable. It ought not to he relinquished, t unless it can he substantially proved that 1 the Bank of the United Slutes is uncon stjtutional. This, I think, cannot be satisfactorily shown.. My speeches are recorded, and can be republished if necessary. They I contain the result of the best investigation I was able to give to the subject. I 1 am persuaded 1 could not improve upon a it, now, if I had the means of investiga- c ting the subject, which I have not. I am, Sir, your friend, &c. 13 (Signed) YVM. H. CKAWPUKD. C. J.
