No business of Importance has been done by the Legs-

"Wednesday last.
Gentlemen of tie Senate, and Gentlemen
Of the Housed Of Representatives.
In presenting 10 you the annual executive Message
many subjects may to me which require the eA
ercse of your legislative powers and which may peseh
themselves to your consideration in the course OF your
session. Restricted we are, by the form OF otT gov
ernmett to regulations almost entirely municipal, wei
seldom have occasion look beyond the confines OF our
State for affecting the public welfare and mere
fore it difficult task for Legislature cautious ana
vgan in the discharge OF its functions, to prescribe an
such rules will conduce to the happiness OF society,"
Blessed as we are with soil producing IN abundance al
forts and secured in all our rights, whateyerl
degree of public or private calamity may befa us we
must attribute it to own Encouragement Inc gene
raj prosperity though of the State exemps us from any
such reproach and have only to preserve those pfi
lveges and enjoyments which we now possess
i Our relation the Federal Government and our own
require that militia should be put INTO
la state of complete organization and although IT'S ire
Iquent meetings companies batallons OF may
not of much moment yet iii proper and indeed neces
tary that should be completely arranged and ID state
To he called out in any of exgency 1t the compa-
lnies baalons TO be called together but once
year merely for Inspection much benefit might be thereby
obtained as would be of keeping the militia III
Ia stale of organization and ready to be called INTO service
when required. This is oft repeated subject to the
Legislature of this State, but its Importance requires con-
slderaon and urges to press it upon your Afternoon
Experience seems prove that the " Supplement TO

Quarter Sessions and Of Common Pleas coming IN he ume
Of their hay and the other in the dead OF winter
The time also assigned for the session othe High Cou
Of Errors and Appeals by means SO suitable for hod
ling that court as the month % June. ),
There is another subject which seems TO require the
serious consde alton of the Legislature There are now
existing in this State created by acts OF the Genera AS
semby than 80 corporations or bodies pouc Whe
lit is recoected that these bodies clam by their corpora
lion an exemption from all Legislative control, howeve
mprovidenly they may have been created, requires TN
utmost degree of wachulness before such grant shout
he made.-Al applications tor SUCH grants are maoe u
der the plausible guise of public good and are presen'e
with full display Of great and many advantages YET som
of them abound with mischief TO others and are botome
solely private interest this IS often the character
private laws. Ii general law were enacted pre-
scrbng the mode in which corporations should be crealeu
annexing conditions, by which they should be va
lcated if improperly obtained. or # The conditions wer
lno complied with the public would be secured. An
wy should grants contracts made with the Legisa
lure be subject ofnqury equally with any other conrac
land upon proper grounbe vacated would be sourc
of infinite regret discover ha private INJURY had bee
donc BY private special act of the Legislature, an
That the party Wronged could obtain no redress or
find that the legislature have been imposed on and III
public injured without remedy and yet all THIS ma
we happen if the notion be correct that ieglslatv
grant of any kind is contract and that is invoiane.
ln Ii would be beneficial regulation to annex conitio
all private of the General Assembly and 10 an &C
which printed and published in the usual torn
that they should be recorded, at the expense OF me pa
tiles obtaining Them in the office for recording OF deet
erI the county where they are to operate ihey wou
thus become more generally known and be within the po'
Of persons affected by them, without the trouble al
expense of obtaining copies from the Secretary of State
land they would moreover be better preserved than III
Office which is removable TO every part OF the State.
