Mr. Davisson naiil he saw in thin measure (uiid his
impressions were strengthened by tho remarks of the
gentleman from Dmwidilic,) the object nt which many
gentlemen had directed their exertions throughout the
session. That object was the destruction of the sys
tem of Internal Improvement, which had thus far been
pursued lay the St,.tc. The liist blow was levelled at
the Board of Public Works, in order to check the dif
liision of informal on, without which, tho Legislature
could not act. The Board had been characterized as
useless and inefficient; but to that opinion he was far
Irom subscribing. On the contrary, bo considered it
to bo highly useful, and its labors' mo f beneficial.—
The members came from different parts of the country,
each bringing Ids quantum of local information. That
information was interchanged at their meetings and
consultations, until a lull view of the necessities and
facilities lor improvement, of tho whole Stale, was bc
lore them. They came hero wiiilo tho Legislative
whs in session, an I were thus enabled to avail them
selves of ti.c local knowledge of the members. I he
Legislature levied the Governor for the whole Coin
tnonwealth; and lie was President of flic Board. When
all were assembled, their duty was to apply their con
< ntrated knowledge to the recommendation cl schemes
°* Internal Improvement, for legislative action. And
Mr. I). could not imagine a Board more capable, from
its very formation! of carrying into lull effect the objects
°t its organization. Their labors had thus lar, boon o'
great utility; as gioat at any rate, as the tardy end un
willing legidation of this House would permit. As to
l!lC forgotten corner of the Stare in nliicli ho Jived, It
would have been entirely neglected, but for the recom
mendations of the Board of Public* Winks. Whatever
had been done in the West, and lor the West, was at
tributable to tho labors of that body. The gentlemen
li'om Dinwiddle and Mecklenburg were opposed to In
ternal Improvement, because their Counties had noth
ing to improve. They asked for nothing; and would
therefore refuse tire requests of tho«e less happily situ
ated. Surely this was not tho principle on which the
measures of liberal and enl ghtc cd legislation should
lie founded. Mr. I). was a warm, a devoted friend to
internal Improvement, not .alone because his section of
the country needed it, (although that was a powerful
motive,)—but, also, because he saw tho rapid strides
with which other Mates were surpassing Virginia, in
this most vi'al of all domestic policies, lie saw their
daily progress, the perfection of their roads and canals;
ami he ardently wished this Commonwealth to enter
boldly into com; etition with them in the race of pros
peiity. I lie IN cst had a deep interest in the persever
encc ol tlie Sta.e in its system of Internal Improve
ments, nor w< re (lie other portions of she State unin'er
es ed, although gentlemen seemed not to leel that (lie
system was capable of contributing to the good ol the
whole body politic, / lie progression of the system,
and the extension ot legislative aid, wherever it was
needed, would have the effect to strengthen (lie bond
by which tho State was united, to bind together the in
terests <.f the various sections, and give to Virginians
the feelings of a band of brothers. Break down this
system, and discontent and division must prevail—the
on rgics ol the Stale be (littered away. The spirit
which i. • -v exists among the people, would lie checked
it not extinguished; and Virginia stand (he mock of the
surrounding States, a secondary Commonwealth, neg
lecting alj the blessings which nature has so lavishly
bestowed upon her. lie saw in this hill the first step
towards the destruction of Internal Improvement; and
the dissolution ol the fund tgr lute-mil Improvement
would, he anticipated, h > the next object of its enemies.
He trusted the hill would hot trass.
[home explanations here took place between Messrs.
Goode and W Ulianas of Shenandoah, not essentially con
nected with the argument.]
Mr. Goode could not perceive the Injury which was
anticipated by some gentlemen trom the passage of
this hill. He could not pretend to direct or advice the
friends of Internal Improvement, lie might not be*
ranked among them; but he was a friend to the pros
perity ol the State, and he wished to cn«ure it by
using his efforts to prevent the Government Irom be
coming involved [ill debt. Gentlemen had frightened
themselves by conjuring up shadows—and the gentle
man Irorn Harrison had supposed (hat the fund for In
ternal Improvement was to ho destroyed. This was a
mero fancy, and ii might truly lie said, that
—-"Shadows to nijzht
struck moro torror to the sou I of Richard
Than cjin tho substance or ton thousand soldiers."
There was no design to injure or Impair that fund: nor
coahl there he any Injury in sinking off this fungus, lor
the Board of Public Works was nothing more.
Mr. Mason ol F. sad that every session since he
had been in the House, this proposition had been he
lore it, advocated hy die grntein an from Mecklenburg
Mr. Goode said, * last year only."
Mr. M son said he might have been mistaken. He
thought the gentleman ought o have looked at the his
tory ol legislat on in this House, be'ore he threw out
the challenge to tho friends ol Intern-I Improvement
to shew (hat (he Board had done any good. It had
been truly stated, that the House had disregarded the
recommendations of the Braird, and thus rendered their
labors nugatory, rim legisliture had always rejected
t ietr advice. 6'ui Av/io do they ndvise us, says the
gentleman. Cut bono advise, when (he dominant vow
er uniformly rejects the aivic*? This was a question
Tor the gentlem in himself to at swo-. It « a* (i 119 that the
Legislature had never adopted it; hut that was no prod
of the inefficiency of the advisory power. On the con
trary, t rendcre I a supposition ot that inefficiency mere
assumption, as lli • means had nev r been used to prove
whether the advico were good or not.
. /lie Board was formed of ten citizens from ti e va
rious sections of the country. They come here suppos
ed to he well advised on tho subject. Wrhat di I they
do this year? They recommended numerous improve
menls, to he rficeted hy means of a loan,which, in the
rorin ol a hi I, was voted down in the House. | he same
ra'e had attended the various plans recommended hy
the Board in ether years. And now the paramount
power declares that they have done no good. It was
not because tho advice wa* useless, for that had no*
m en proved—sort should tho House abolish this Hoard
before the proof ha I been obtained, in order that they
might have a better? If the House seceded to this
,, m-Mure of the enemies of Internal Improvement,
he rott would be the deitruction ol the Fund. He
hope, the time wpuld come when the dominant power
would have changed hands—when Virginia would
eu-p a system hy vjnch the produce o' her sgrlc.il
turiats might bo carrifd to market. I hoy should then
fil'd ilid uu> of a Board of Public \fuik«, and this
l!ou«e would then be a* lunch in love whh it, aa they
wore now out of lore with it. lie was convinced that
the next step ot iho euciidca of improvement would be
to disperso the fund. They would argue that it could
not be harmonicutdy disposed ot—‘hat it was an apple
ol discord*--that one gentleman wished it applied to one
object, and another to another; and that it would be
belter to apply it to some other purpose. 1 ho member
Iron* iJiiiwiddie had declared that ho was opposed to
the separation of this fund iroiti the Treasury.
Mr. Mrodnax said he hid declared himself opposed
to the piie.ci le ot instituting separate funds lor politic
purposes; but he had no idea that this hill would have
the slightest operation ou the luud lor Internal Im
provement.
Alter a few concluding remarks from Mr. Mason,
Mr. Hives ot P. G. sai . he was opposed to the mo
tion to postpone, and moved the question bo taken by
ayes and nocs, which being ordered, the motion to
'.ostpoue was rejected, (by the vote formerly publish
ed.) ami the bill was ordered to be engrosse'.
