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 I ••iiu mat luo, wimout 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.

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 , whose successful management o t ‘ hibited bv this report, is the best encomium that can be passed upon his services.

I, U problematical whether the Stale should to being suedatall but certainly she ough not to embarrass her officers with burthens no imposed upon other companies. Ihe road passes through counties belonging to three judi cial districts, and it might happen that the ■ u nerintende.it would be sued and required to at lend Court in different counties at the same 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.
