THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE, &e., &e., Bo. | Governor's Me: Fellow Citizens af the Senate and of the pe [ssembly :— The pe termination of the recent annual session of the Legislature, imposed upon me the responsibility of convening the two Houses in extra session, and of or- dering special elections to fill the vaeancies created by the resignation of members. While I felt reluctant to burthen the treasury with an extraordinary expenditure, and to subject you to the inconvenience of re assembling at the capital at this un- ‘usual seasion, the condition of the public business at the | time be ie adjournment in April, was such as to ren- der further legislation indispensable to the ordinary ad- ministration of the government; and iu this posture of affairs, a sense of duty constrained me to act with Promptness in adopting the only mode of proeceding which seemed adequate to the occasion. ‘The annual appropriation bills and many general mearures affecting the public welfare, which were lett unfinished, should receive final action as early as prac- ticable; and in the discharge of this duty, your own wishes, no less than the interests of your constituonts, will prompt the utmost despatch which you may deem consistent with prudent and judicious deliberation. It is a subject of gratifying reflection, that, in the elections recently nas oo large a portion of the people of the Btate, rising above all party divisions, should have proclaimed their adherence to the vital principle of our institutions, which clothes a constitutional majority with the power to decide public questions, and control the action of our representative bodies. The temporary prostration of the legislative power, the secession of a minority, was an erent which eel hardly fuil to produce a deep impression upon the public mind. A proceeding of this character had never before occurred since the formation of a republican govern- ment inthis state. It was not the first time im the course of our State and national progress that wide dit- ferences of opinion had arisen in our legislative bodies reepecting the expediency of publie measures and the legitimate construction of coustitutional provisions. But hitherto, in seasons of high popular exci:ement, when the violence of party spirit pot defy cone trol, aud when political divisions were most equally balanced, the encounters of debate have ceased, and the vest conflicts of opinion have yielded to the deliberate jo sheers of the majority, The diversities of sentiment Which arise in the administration of a popular system are to be viewed as a necessary incident of self government. Our past experience has shown that the utmost freedom of discussion is not ineon- sistent with the restraints of the constitation, and that the controversies produced by opposing views of public questions are not hostile to the stability of demo- cratic institutions, The cheerful acquirscence of the whole people in the ascertained will of the majority has ever constituted the brightest feature of our bistory, furnishing indisputable proof of the wisdom of our re- publican theory, and the eapacity of our citizons fur the exercise of political responsibility. This principle of sub- mission to the voice ef the majority. expressed through the forms of the coustitution, ix fundamental and or ganic; it pervades and animates our admirable system of regulated liberty, and constitutes our only shield | against the disorders of faction. Its practical recog- nition has thus fur happily distinguished our country from thore ill-fated democracies, ancient aod moaera, which have sunk beneath the violence of popular strife nd insubordination. You wi!l doubtless esteem it among the first of your duties to revume the considerativa of the important sux ject which was under discussion in the Seuate when its proceedings were so suddenly arrested. The merits of the measure, aud the objections whi) have been advanced in opposition to it, should reesive your calm and impartial deliveration In my sanual imersr ge to the Legislature, I deemed it my duty to invite | your attention to the interesting subject of our caaal policy, and to present some considerations which appear- ed to me conclusive in favor of the early completioa of our unfinished canals. The convietions which were then | expressed in relation to the expediency of consummating — these improvements, so many years in progress, have gained strength from equent reflection aad discussion. The importance of the trade and revenues ‘Thus ‘we perceive that after perfecting what has been commenced. there will be neither necessity or excuse for now enterprises at the cost of the treasury, beyond the judicious application of the ample revenues which the canals, when released from all incumbrance, will place at the disporal of Our Fuccessor 5. Whether the State continue to possess those sovereign powers and faculties which are necessary tc expedite the ion of the canals, without transcending the lini- f the constitution, is a question which demands your enisghtened consideration. Assuming tho necessi- ty for actlun to be established, you are called upon to de- termine in what mannev the object +hall be attained. Incommunicating my Views at the commencement of the annual sesasion, I dected it most becoming and re- tfu) to submit this quention to the superior wisdom of ¢ Legislature; entertaining on ay part an earuest denice a co-operate in aby practical measure which you shoald deem free from constitutional objection. Regarding the considerations in favor of a more efficient and vigorous progress as paramount and sulf-evidewt, I did not hesi- tate to recommend such an amendment of the constitu- tion as should confer the requisite autaority, if im your judgment no judicious plan of action could’ be matured consistently with the financial provisions of that in#tru- ment. Onur first and highest obli; n is to preserve im- violate the principles of the organtic law which we have sworn torupport. Whatever differ snces of opinton may arise touching the interpretation of purticular provisions, it should be owr constant aim to give full effect to all its requirements. No considerations of expe- dierey or even of necessity can justify a separ. ture trom its true intent and spirit, he financial pro- visions of the constitation were intendet not to defeat but to insure the completion of the Brie Kalargement, and the Black River and Genesee Valtey Canals, For nearly five years these works had beea suspended. A majority in the Convention of 1846 determined that thes should be resumed and fluished, They dedicated the entire surpius canal revenue to this objeot after making certain reservations for the payment of the existing debt, and the support of government. Lt is hardly eonevivable that they would have refused to permit the early ace pliskiment of an object fur whieh they 40 earofully pre ed, if it could have been supposed that individuals would consent to farnish the uecesary means at once, on simple assignment of the «urplas, with «pecial co ditions that the purchasers should rece.ve the trausfer at their own risk, without recouree to the State in aay conting He it reasonable, is it jut to the repate tion of men eminent for their window und sagucicy. to conclude that while requiring the performance of a work they nevertheless iutended to deprive the Legislature of the pover to employ the mvans which they piaoed st its disporal in sueh manver as Lo execute the design im the mort economical manner and in the shortest possible riod?

Your attention was called to the objections which secmed to conflict with the feasibility of the plan. ‘These objections ane my apprehensions ba ated io the well matwed provisions of thi pow pea | ing before the Seuate, and by retinbie assurances that capitalists stand ready to purchase the proposed revenue certificates on terms favorable to the State ‘The steady inereuse of eaual toils for yours past. and the constant growth of the Western States, from which a daar progress may be anticipated in future, inspired a firm confidence tsp those who eredulous upon sue seo to duction of 25 per cent im the rates on flour and wheat, the amount of tolls received for the first six weeks of the Brie Canal to the prosperity of the State, is com ceded by all. No public work of any age or country has contributed to or to the welfare and happiness of a whole community, Every interest in the commonwealth has felt ite vivifying influecce. The towns and cities which it has created—the uuparaileled prosperity of our prinei pal emporium—the giant strides of Western New York in ‘Wealth and improvement; and, above ail, the commercial ) supremacy of the State,’ may be pointed to with honest | ide by all our citizens, as enduting memorials of the wirdom which conceived, and the energy which coasam- mated, the noble design of opening a water commuaica- tion to unite the Lakes with the Atlantic. It would not be difficult to demonstrate that the Erie Usaal bas added more than three hundred millions in value to the property of our people. Its effects upon the public trearury are no less striking aud satisfactory. Its re- venues, after paying the cost of its original construction are rapidly pd mime f the debt incurred in its enlarge ment, and in aid of other improvements. That the earty completion of a channel which has yielded the«# beneti- cent results would injure the State or endanger its libor- ties, is an apprehension condemned by experience, dis- owned by reason, and fe | to be regarded as (he dismal tasy of a sombre and distempered imagiaation, re- jecting all grateful memories of the past and disdaiming ‘all severous hopes of the future. t is now fifteen years since the werk of enlargement a commenced. “The main purpore of the undertaking was to create a channel with rufficient capacity for boats of 150 tons burthen, by which producers sod consumers | will be relieved from about one-half the at cost (ex | | cluding tolls) of canal transportation.

This stapendous work, after | receiving an impulse from the partial aid of tho State, has been cousummated by the matchless en- ergy and unfailing perseverance of a small portion of our citizens seting in concert and with « determination to Furmount obstacles which seemed for years to be | invincible, They have executed their design at a cost of over twenty millions of dollars, being mo-r than twice the amount now required by the State to finish the en- | lurgement of the Erie Canal. The completion of this grent highway cannot fuil to confor lasting benefite upon the people of the southern tier of counties, whow posi- tion bad long excluded them from an equal participa | tion in our system of internal improvements. It adds another link to the golden chain which uaites New York to the States of the Northwest by the voluntary | tes of reciprocal commerce, mutual interest, and fra- ternal attachment Itshould be our constant aim to secure the trade of those vast communities beyond us.
