Al ILILI4I.S
NII.SSAGS OF Gov. THOMAS OF NIARYLAND.—This
document is shorter than most papers of the kind, arid
is chiefly denoted to a considerniion of the financial
condition of the state, which subject the Governor de
clares is still surrounded by the most serious difficulties.
The pm; e I to maintain tht public faith have fail
ed to accomplish their purpose—instead of diminish
ing, the public debt has daily augmented. At the
close of '4`, the debt, including arreareges for inter
est amounted to $16,071.079;—at the close of No
vember '43, it was $16,376,657 95, being an increase
of more than 300,0Q0. The ordinary revenue is bare
ly sufficient to pay the ordinary expenditures. The
annual demands against the Treasury for which no
provision is yet made, amount to $1,798,694 13, in
cluding nrrearages for interest on the debt. The
whole properly of the state, subject to taxntion, will
yield a revenue annually of but $437,500, and the, re
ceipts from all ather s lurces will leave a deficit the
present year of $1,348,894 13.

The Governor complains of the inefficiency of the
tax system of the fit ate. anti says that the attempts
wnich have heretofore been made to amend it, so far
from accomplishing that object, have hod the effect
to prevent the collection of taxes of any kind whatever.
He complains, too, that the struggles for political
power, have induced both parties to curtail the Execu
tive power, until now it is wholly inadequate to the
execution of some of the most important laws cn the
statute books. Those relating to tecenue, particularly.
are left with the authorities oldie several cottnies,—
man• of these have totally disregarded the law, and
their failure has engende ed a feeling of discontent
among that portion of the people who have met its
requirements. The government has the power to pass
revenue laws, but is too feeble to execute them. In
view of these difficulties, be recommends that the an
chorites of the several counties be deprived of any con
trol sthatever over the officers collecting taxes for
state purposes.

The act passed by the Legislature for the sale of
the public wor:us,has failed t bring about th- gratifying
results anticipated. Capitalists have refusei to gi , e
the desired suns for the works, and as the State bonds
which were to have been received in payment, have
greatly advanced in value since the passage of the ant,
there is no probabLity to expect a sale; nor would the
embarrassment of the State be materially relieved by n
measure of that kind. He shots s that so fur from im
proving the condition of affdits, the State would loose
annually, by such a sale the sum of $13.313,57, which
is now appropriated to education put poses. By the
existing law no sale of the interest of the State in any
of the public works can be effircted.onless the whole of
it be sold to the same purchaser. This feature, the
Governor thinks, may have prevented the sale, as there
may not have been persons holding a sufficient amount
of handls who were willing to engage in thn speculation.
He recomm aids that a share cf stock be exchanged for
each bond of the state,at. such rate a* may be determioed
on. In this way,there tnight be Gaud asatficient number
of persons to take the stock of the State in the seve
ral companies, and, to the amount of such exchange,
reduce the bonded debt of the State. He strongly ut
ges, that, whatever may he done to dispose of these
works, there should be carefully prepared provision..
eff.mtually gnarling the supervisory an I controlling
power of the State, as a sovereignty, into, and over the
proceedings and acts of these immense corporations.
The Governor examines the Assumption scheme,and
the project for a distribation of the proceeds of the sales
of the public lands, with a view to the lirpt idation of
the debts of the several St,tte•. He shows that the
Srst measure is unconstitutional, and that the second
would be wholly inadequate to the purpose, even if
the G moral Gavernment could dispense with the rev
enue from that source. All expectatimis of relief from
that rmarter, he says. should he uh ludo led as dolt•ive.
The following paragraph is so just, and so patriotic
that we must give it entire:

PROSTRVIOX Ow THZ LAWs.-=We are in i fakiri:j .
that for the last two or ihree weeks, the citizens taxi
ding ov..r the city,line, along the road to the top of the
Hill, and near the New Basin, have been seriously dis
turbed all hours of the night by gangs of bout Negroes,
armed with clubs, knives and pistols, making, the most
hideous noise, 'clAnnce of the civil officers. We
understand the Clun-table acting in that neighborhood,
called, with an assistant, attempted to arrest a disor
derly person, but was knocked down with stones, and
the u,sistant Aerial] 4iy injured. Even in the day time,
it is said, these lawless desperadoes pass al ng, singing
ote , cene.songs,in the view of the civil officers and at
their defiance,—thus prostrating nod setting at naught
the only prot...ction and safeguard of the peaceable c;t
-; izens ofthat neighborhood. It LI further said that the
young dandy blacks of the city am in the habit of follow
jag the example; and even children, who should be
more carefully guarded by their parents, are becoming
very profligate and annoying to the citizens all hours of
the night by their noise. Our police are too weak. Is
it not in the power of our Court to direct the Sheriff,
with an armed posse, to guard, for n short time, the
peace of the neighborhood? Indeed, from appearances
it would seem that nn armed patrol for the city end dis
trict shouldbe permanently established.

"T hat the it should not be palsied by the

trary, assert, that a maim ity of the' constituents may
instruct, mid the Representative is hound to obey, or
resign. This meeting, it appears. have discovered a
ntw principle. I wish they would inform the public
hew many dozen of voters are required to instruct n
member of Congress who represents ten thousand
voters, and whether that small but highly respectable
meeting would ho capable on the newly discovered
principle of instructing our U. S. Senators or the Pi est
Meat of the United States. If n score or two of us
should " ins xnet" the Pregnant to veto any annexa
tion bill, whether an (Turd nnimher of Slave-holders
could not give counter iistructions; if so which would
br considered binding. Would the rule of Burrows,
in relation to the froudo.eut election certificates be
adopted, "first come first served." I should like a
little light on this subject, and hope the author of the
above resolution will give the public a lecilm. •••• 'ho
Right of instruction. YANKEE.
If man's nature is err • wholly changed that he will nn
longer learn wisdom from experience, the history of
Banking in Louisiana, in particular, is a fruitful sub

equally realons, through delusion or dishonesty. in ma

FOREIGN VIEWS OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY

Ti is slimitoition of the consumption of foreign pro
ducts must not he attributed to the tariff oftimies alone.
It proceeds, also, (at least with regard to France.
which ex pate more particularly articles of luxury,)
fum a fortunate modifieation which has been intro
duced into the habits of the people Adversity h
made th Americans more ec °nominal. French silks,
and articles of Paris fashions:. hays, been less sought
for. Meantime, the fact that pies 'sefore all others.
and which modifies most prawn:ills the commercial
;elm ions of the United States with Europe, is the en
trance with full sails of North America into the In in-
Macturing system. She did not, perhaps, desire it; it
may he con-Merril n surprise upon a good number of
her legislators. The want of the duties has been al
leged as a reason, for the treasury was empty. The
intrigues of parties were mingled with the question.
Meantime, America is now submitted to the manufac
turing regime; she appears to be definitively subjected
to it.
Without speaking , of the political consequences that
the establishment of a putt ctive tariff' would have on
the United States, it may be believed that this sumo
cause will produce greater changes in the general
crE.imerce of the globe. The American is UTI excellent
m:chnnic: I: has the spirit of bringing manufactures
to perfection in the highest degree. No extremity im

keep up an antiquated method of labor ; cams LO him a
greater evil than to ruin himself, a greater dishonor
than becoming a bankrupt. possesses the mt.
chattical genius in a surwrior degtee than the Enali•le
roan himself*. As an oTtrrative, he is very slrittil,
very' i ~e lligeot. very alert. The American workman
is mote cortivatcd than thr European work mri a: he is
more active with his understanding; and his work
shows it. Theirs is, tbertfore, room for the helirf that
under the spur alone of a national rivalshin, the A
merican fabrics will make suolt rapid advances, that,
in a short time: they will produce largely, and argood
bargains.
The conclusion to which this leads is, that the U.
States are tending speedily to become a manufacturing'',
peop!p, who will pour into the general c.trnmerte

manufactured geode of every kinti••••lwtdware. atiocki:
werk, wrought metals—in great quantitie4, and at low
pricest and that they will prove everywh-re powerful
rivals to the great manufacturing nations, and particu
larly F.nzland, to whose production their own genius
attracts them. In a wet d. England is threatened with
having, in the American Union. a commercial rival
which will make terrible war upon her. because she
will eimiise to her merchandise products exactly simi
lar. When we consider the part that c rnmerce and
manila-toms has , hail in the estaliiislarneat of-the
English power. it is easy to conceive that this would
he an event of a nature to influence even the political
balanre of the world.
We may sav that England is menaced. This is not
enongh. The riralship of the manufactured goods of
North America is nn actual fact. The Americans
have made• proditrions improvements in 'their cotton
manufactures, and even their woollens more recently.
A cry of alarm has been sounded in Great Britain.--
At the moment *re are spettking, all the cotton main
rim arer3 in Eitrorte are astonished at the low prices at
whirl, IF.e A mrnicans furnished their goods. It is said
that nt such prices nothing of this kind can be sent to
America. A few months since mercantile !muses in
Boston sent cottons to Torlia and China, by the way of
Enzlnral These cond., were stormed by the Eag.lish
custom-house, under pretext of fraud in the manufac
tures' mark.
This incident trellis the fart that. in 1784, nn Ameri
can ship havine: arrived nt Liverpool with eizht hnles
ofcmtn-,•he custom-hett.e officers .ei7.-dit.per.unded
that this cotton cou'd not have corn-. from the U dted
State., where in fact it Kra not cultivated, before the
independence. In 1300 the United Staten furnished
a. much as Brlvil, in 1810 rh: miirb a. T Idin, which
wns the principal producer; i n 1833 twice as ree d,
and n half mare. This rear the crop in the United
States is 225 ono 008 of kilos,rrarns "Eno:toe, which
will sell for 553.039 001 .if franca. In 1840 the cry"
amonnted to 360 001.000 of kilozrams. acninot 100
which enme from Plain. All the rest contributes to
the commerce 100.0011,090 ofkiinernm.. This year
it is nearly n tenth larger. But such in the energy of
th m tricnn people in lehor, that there is no
s:hiliry in their showing the same skill, the same
power, the same pro t ttessive boldnesa, in the mann
frictnre of the cotton as they have given proof of it
in its cultivation.

The Civilian states that vessels, passenger; and
merchandise, to a respectable extent have entered that
port recently. The vessels. cargoes and emigration, it

coorse of the country with trans-Atlatic nations are
augmenting, whsle its commerce with the United
State; is decreasing. The brig r linand, rent-nth:

German agriculturists intending to settle in the coun
