For the purpose of instituting a comparison of
~Q e . , P a,d our own people, with that
paid by the people of the other States, I address
ed a circul ir letter to the Executives of the
“•' v 7 al asking for a statement of their
ax laws, io this communication, I received
many replies, but not enough to carry out the
original object I had in view. The information ;
however obtained, was sufficient to satisfy mv ’
own mind that we pay as little as the people of
any otner State, whilst as compared with some
, lhe ta tes, our tax is almost nominal. As
low as our present taxes are, we may look for
ward to the time when they may hegreatlv re
duced. As soon as the Public debt shall have
, n extinguished, we can with propriety re
duce our taxes one half, and that too, without

looking to any other source of revenue for the
ordinary expenses of the government. This is j
certainly a gratifying state of things, and will |
ai to conciliate the feeling of opposition
that has been engendered in the public mind I
against the present system. Firmness in the :

WESTERN \j(j) ATLANTIC RAIL KOAI).
Ey the act cVf January 15th, 1852, I was re- ;
quired to appoint a Superintendent of the Wes
tern & AUjftntic Kail Road, wno should have :
} he genet n [ management and control of that
work. X appointed Wm. M. Wadiey, Esq , who
entereJj U p on the duties of his office on the first
\ u ~y Jpf February 1852. The means of the road
ia d/ffallen f ar short of its necessities, and the
was. that the road was in a wretched con
d' .tion. My predecessor and the former Chi<jf|
* Ingineer of the road, realizing this fact had very
? troperly purchased a large quantity of iron tbi
ts repair. The contract made by them was ap
jf proved by the last Legislature by the the act of
Dec. 4th 1851. When Mr. Wudley entered up
on his office, he encountered all the difficulties,
which this state of things had brought about.—
The last Legislature intending to provide amply
for the thorough repair and equipment of the
road,by the act of January 15th, 1852, appro
priated the sum of $525,000, for that purpose.
This sum would have been sufficient, it it could
have been applied to the objects contemplated
by the Legislature, hut unfortunately it required
much the larger portion ot it to pay ol the for
mer debts of the road which had been accuniu
iating from its first organization. We were
therefore compelled to look to its revenues to
I do that, which it was the intention ot the Legis
lature should have been done, witn this appro
priation ; and this fact will account tor the dis
appointment of those, who had calculated upon
an accruing revenue to the Sjate Treasury from
the proceeds of the. road. I refer you to the
accompany Reports of Mr. Wsdley and h.s
successor Mr. Yonge for a more full and satis
factory statement ‘•* the facts U which 1 have
thus brieflly alladeu. It is hardly necessary for
me to speak of the manner in which these mfii
culties were met and overcome by the superin
tendent. The energy and ability displayed by
him are so familiar to the public, that it w M
be a work of supererogation to remark upon it.
He did all that could be done, and 1 venture
to add, more than any other man would have
effected under the same circumstances. 1
not add, that his entire management of the ai
fairs of the road, met my cordial approeol
On the first day of February, lSm), Mr. a
lev resigned his office of Supermtenden -and
I appointed George Yonge, Esq., to llB
cancy. It is due to Mr. “ f ley *“
he did not leave his post until he had
- me. that the interests of the road would not am
far from his withdrawal. In l,lß ! U f S officer
found an able, experienced, andta.thu.l offic ,

This consideration alone shows the pro
n'rietv of a change in the law. In this coniiec-
E.?,wjcK sriSK
country. \V have a right to complain of this
j Preceding on the part of our neighbors, as it
was principally to gratify them, that the doors
of our own Courts were thrown open to clairn
nts against the .State road. If the Courts should
maintain their jurisdiction In the State of Ten
| lessee, and the road subjected to the trouble
! ant * annoyance of this litigation, it will devolve
j upon the Legislature to determine, what course
they will adopt in reference to the Western ter
| minus of the Road, that will most effectually ]
put a stop to such proceedings.
Ihe important question for your considera
tion with this great work is, what shall be the
future policy ot the State in reference to it t
Realizing the deep interest felt Ay our people in
the decision ot this question, I submit to you
mv views fully on the subject.
By some a sale of the road is proposed, I
trust however, that the adyocates of this po'licv
ate not numerous, and feel certain that their
number will he lessened, in proportion as vou
satisfy the public mind that the road can be suc
cessfully carried on, under .State management.
J o sell the road would be to disappoint the gen
eral expectation which has so long looked to
I the completion of this enterprize for a source of
reliable revenue to the State. The funds raised
by tho sale could not be appropriated to the ex
tinguishment of the public debt, as that is not
due. There is no profitable investment of it
that could be made, and the result would he—
that by the time the public debt had to be met,
this fund would have been exhausted in waste
ful and unnecessary expenditures. Increased
taxation would then be the o*dy means of meet
ing the liabilities of the State. 1 feel confident
that no argument is required against policy
which will inevitably lead to such a result.—
The proposition to sell two thirds of the roads
equally if not more objectionable. The same
consequence would follow to a great extent. —
Besides it is an unvarying lesson taught by our
experience, that the State is tho sufferer in eve
ry copartnership which she forms of this char
ter. The road should he under the entire con
trol of individual interest, or under the exclusive
management of the State. A departure from
this rule, would certainly lead to no good result
and 1 trust that the experiment will not be made.
Rejecting then the proposition to dispose of the
road, 1 recur to the inquiry, what is the best pol
icy lor its future government l In the manage
ment of a rail road, two ideas should be kept
1 prominently in view, uniformity and permanen
cy in its system, and a responsible head to nia*
nage aud control its affairs. Frequent changes
’ aud divided responsibility are incompatible k with
the successful operation of any railroad. Look
ing to these’ considerations I feei conscious of
the difficulties which must attend any plan which
has yet been suggested for the government of
the State road, but tdereference should be giv
en to that system which is freest from these ob
jections. The two plans which have been most
generally considered, are, first, the present one
which leaves the road under the control of the
Executive axd Superintendent appointed by lnm.
The other proposes to constitute a board of
; Commissioners and invest them with the power,
now lodged in the hands of tho Governor. My
own mind at one time lavored the latter propo
sition.
Experience and observation, however, have fully
satisfied me, that it will not do. The idea of a
board of commissioners was derived from the
board of directors, appointed by private corpor
ations, for similar duties; and the argument
drawn bv analogy frow this source would be
good, if these directors discharged the duties
which the public suppose them to perform ; such,
however, is not the fact. ihe best board ot ui
rectors for a railroad company are those who
have sagacity and judgment enough to submit
the entire management ot their roads to the
President and superintendent. In adopting a
general system for the management of a road,
Their counsels may sometimes be heeded with
some advantages; but when the detailed opera*
tions of the road are to he considered and dis
posed of—the least said or done by them, the
better it is for the interest of their company. If
a board of directors should attempt to revise the
dealings of a President and superintendent with
their subordinates, reinstating such as had in
their judgment been improperly removed, or
forcin'* the appointment of others who they
might'suppose peculiarly qualified for some posi
tion, it would result in the total disorganization
of the road, and the effort would soon be felt by
the stockholders in reduced profits, neglected
machinery, and dilapidated road. Upon this
point I can safely appeal to the experience and
observation of every man, who has been con
nected with a successful and well managed rail
road. If this be true of private companies, the
difficulties will be greatly enhanced, when the
same principle is applied to a public work, when
superaded to other causes of trouble and em
barrassment, there is thrown in the political and
party considerations which would inevitably be
connected with such a system.
The subordinate officers on a railroad, who feel
that they owe their places to any other cause,
than a faithful discharge ot duty, would soon
derange and ruin the best managed road in the
country. Under the proposed system ot a Board
of Commissioners these difficulties could scarce
ly be avoided, and 1 therefore deem it unneces
sary to enlarge upon this branch ot the subject.
According to this plan there would also be
wanting, that uniformity in the management ot
the road, which is essential to its success. W ith
the change of Commissioners, the system
would be changed and ali the consequences at
tendant upon such changes, would be constantly
experienced. The present system is, in my
judgment decidedly preferable ; one great object
at least is effected, a responsible head is placed
in charge of the road—to whom the country can
look for its proper and faithful management. -
The Executive elected by the people is respon
sible to them. The Superintendent should be
appointed bv, and be responsible to the Execu
live the subordinate officers should be appointed
bv and responsible to the Superintendent, and
thus the management of the road is placed upon
a system of responsibility, which ensures Us suc
cessful operation. In the appointment ol the
Superintendent, the Executive feels the respon
sibility which rests upon him, and vnll
a SOU nd judgment in the selection. The Super.,
iutendent knowing that he is . foMbe
good conduct of his subordinates, will exercise
like prudence and discretion, in their selection,
and the subordinates feeling their dependence
upon, and responsibility to the superintendent,
will realize the fact, that the tenure by which
: they bold their offices, is the faithful and effi
cient discharge ofduty. In this view of the sub
ject, you will perceive that there must be a cor
dial and mutual confidence between the Execu
tive and the superintendent, and for that
j *b e superintendent should be appointed u\ the
; Executive. I therefore recommend final the act
1 oi the last Legislature taking the appoitnireut
of this officer from the Governor and giv- it
to the Legislature, be repealed, and that the ap
pointment be again placed at the disposal of the
Executive. If the road is to be continued under
| management, this in my opinion is the
| most practicable system that can be adopted.
I wo leading objections are urged against this
plan. Ihe first is founded upon the fear that
the subordinate posts on the road will be re
garded and tilled as political offices. Under my
administration “this practice has ceased to ex
ist.’ Whatever may be thought or said about
making governmental offices, political positions, .
in other departments, it is a well settled fact,
tnat it will not answer in the management of
railroads, or similar .State enterprises. .Such a !
policy is condemned both by reason and expe
rience, and can never be resorted to without en- ;
dangering the public interest. This truth is. so
clearly illustrated in the history of every State
work, where the policy lias been adopted, tha.t
I do not believe the experiment will again he
made in our own State. The other objection is
;of a more serious character. It grow s out of
: the changes in the management of the road, in
cident to the frequent change in the Executive
1 office. I admit the force of this objection, and
j the only reply that can be offered, is founded
j on the fact, that the objection is applicable to
| everp plan which has been or can be suggested
; for the government of the road under state man
agement.
In view of these difficulties, l submit to your
! consideration, another plan, for the disposal of
j the road, one, which will secure the three great
; objects to be attained : first, the retention of
j the State’s interest in the road; second, u uni
-1 form and permanent system for its management;
! and third, a certain and reliable revenue 1 rum it.
| It is to lease the road under an act of incorpora
tion. Let a charter be granted with a capita!
jof five hundred thousand dollars in shares of a
; hundred dollars each. The charter should pro*
j vide that the company, should make semi-annual
| payments to the State, and that the first failure
j should ipso facto work its forfeiture. The a*
I mount required to be paid by the company for
its lease, should be at least 5 per cent on the
| capital invested by the State, w hich might be es
timated at five millions of dollars. ‘The charter
i should be for a limited time, and perhaps twenty
i tive years would be sufficiently long. The com-
I pauy should be required to return the Road at i
| the expiration of their lease in as good condition
and as well equipped as when they received it.
j ‘Fite improvements which the increased btisi
| m.\-> of the Road will require them to make,;
; would afford a reliable guaranty upon this point
: On .the other hand the Btate should agree to pay
the company for any increased value given to
the road by tho improvements made by them.—
Provision should also be made in the charter, to
; protect connecting roads from a partial, and un
’ just administration of its affairs, under such pen
allies as would ensure perfect impartiality. I
have fixed the capital of the company at a halt
million, supposing that to be sufficient for the
i ordinary improvements, which are still required
to put the road in complete order. The Legis
j iature could hereafter increase it, if the business
of the road should require the laying of a double
: track.
In submitting this suggestion to your consid
eration, 1 have merely laid down the outline of
a plan which might be perfected, if the policy
recommended meets with your approval. If
adopted care should be exercised in guarding
the interests of the State in any charter which
may be granted, and that is submitted with
great confidence to your wisdom and discretion.
1 beg leave to repeat, that the adoption of this
policy will ensure a uniform and permanent sys
tem in the conduct and management of this great
work. It will be brought under the operation
of private enterprise aud indivieual interest, with
out sacrificing the investment of the State. It
will be relieved from the difficulties which I
have shown must always more or less attend its
management under State control, and finally en
sure the regular receipt into the treasury of at
least two hundred and fifty thousand dollars per
annum.
