Tvhether the frequency of their occurrence might hot be lessened, either h^ chan^
ging the periods at which the Courts are required to be held, to a later period ot the
year, or so far as respects the circuits oh which difficulties of this character have
most frequently arisen, by merely inverting the order, so as to begin in the healthy
and terminate in the sickly counties.
The crowded state of the dockets in some of the large Western counties, is such
as to amount, in some degree, to a denial of justice ; and calls loudly for a remedy.
Perhaps the best method of redress, would be the creation of an additional Cir-cuit
; and the extension of the term to two weeks, in cases where the accumulation
ef business requires it.
A Report from the Commissioners appointed to digest and revise the Public
Statute Laws of the State, which will necessarily engage a large portion of your
time and attention during the present session, is in preparation, and will be sub-mitted
at anearly day. The vacancy in the commission, occasioned by the illness
and consequent resignation of the late Gavin Hogg, Esq. was, in January last,
supplied by the appointment of Frederick Nash, Esq. of Hillsborough, who has
been, since that period, assiduously engaged in the discharge of its duties.
Duncan Cameron, and Alfred Jones, Esquires, two of the Commissioners ap-pointed,
by an Act of the last General Assembly, to superintend the re-building of
the Capitol, having declined the trust, the appointment was, oh the 21st of July
last, conferred on the Rev. Doctor McPheters, and Doctor John Beckwith, of this
City. The Report of the Commissioners, which will be transmitted to you at an
early period of the session, will exhibit, in detail, the progress which has been
made, and the exp'nditures which have been incurred in the execution of the work.
My term of office, as limited by the ConstitiUion, will expire before the brief
period allotted for the discharge of your duties v\-ill have passed away. I trust I
may be permitted to avail myself of this last opportunity, before I retire from the
active and responsible duties of public life, to comparative quiet and seclusion, to
express the deep and grateful sense I entertain of the unwavering confidence and
kindness so frequently manifested towards me by the people of North Carolina.
In every relation of life, in .vhich it may be my destiny to be placed, my most
fervent aspirations will arise to Him who controls the destinies of Nations, as of
individuals, for the preservation, in their purity, of our free institutions; and the
advancement of our citizens in every thing calculated to promote their prosperity
and happiness, and add lustre to the character of the State.
