GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Felio,o Citizens Of the Senate
AND Of the House Of Delegates:

ana ~ the Rouse or OefeSdfcS:
beg leave 10 be permitted TO mingle my
regrets with yours, at the loss, which this State
has recently sustained, in the death of Thoma.
Jefferson; one of the most distinguished and be.
loved Of her citizens; loss, which is not onl,
felt by Virginia, his native State, but will be &C.
knoyledged by the civilized world. II may well
be questioned, whether there ever existed civil
lian who, governed throughout by the puIest mo.
tives, had conferred greater more lasting benefits
on his country or mankind. This State has espe-
cial reason for generating his memory; since he
essentially contributed to impress upon her institu-
tons, the stamp Of freedom which they bear and
50 to shape her policy, as 10 wed her indissoubly
to republican government The Executive De
partment has fulfilled its duty towards his memory
by decreeng such bonors as fell within the limits
of its power. Its omissions will be supplied By
Legislative interposition. The donors paid 10 the
ius,rious dead are, for the most part of rich de-
sert, and tend TO the preservation Of high andho-
nourasle feeling. They form no idle pageant or
hearess parade, but decreed by the wise in po-
litics for the benefit of posierify. Whether you
shall direct Statue, as has heretofore been done
in the case of Gen. Washington, and to stand by
the side OF each other, or shall order proud
and lofty monument 10 be erected TO the memory
of each, will be worthy Of your serious delibera-
ton.
While lamenting the loss which we have sus-
tanned In the death OF that esimsbe citizen, we
shall find abundant cause for the expression of our
gratitude to everything Providence for the pros
pery and happiness which has attended US as
nation. Amidst the trembling spprehensions Of the
friends Of human liberty, and the gloomy predic-
tons of the enemies OF free government, we have
completed, under circumstances highly suspicious,
the fitch year Of our existence. Our growth in
population and wealth stands wholly usrivslled
while the future unveils the most cheering pros
poets We have already verified the great iruih,
that man is capable Of enforcement, and are
advancing, under Providence, with rapid steps TO
the fulhlment of higher destiny than the annals
Of history have ever yet unfolded Our form Of
government can no longer be considered an erpe-
Timent IN politics. Crowned with success, il
stands forth an example 10 The world, and exhibits
the proudest triumph OF reason and philosophy.
To perpetuste the blessings which we enjoy, 80
that generations, in endless succession, may pos
sess the same high privileges with ourselves, cam
not be other than the ardent wish Of all and il
belongs, especially, TO Legislators, by the adoption
Of wholesome and necessary laws, to throw around
the public liberty, entertainments over which the
evil pfopensiiies snd passions Of mankind canEo.

A public dinner was given to General Harrison
on Friday, the 9Th utinio, by a number of the
citizens Of Vincennes. Among the guests was
Jonathan Jennings, one of the representatives in
Congress from The state. When the health of
General Harrison was given, coupled with re-
ference to his esllaniry at Tippecsnoe and the
Thames. he made some appropriate observations in
reply, which were entirely confined to the crcun,-
stances OF the period when these exploits took
place, in the early settlement OF the state. On
the occasion presented by another toast, compli-
nentsry 10 the faithful services Of the first COVER
OF the state, Mr.. Jennings briefly expressed his
gratitude for this honorable remembrance Of HIM
while filing the chair Of the executive Of the state.

MATERNAL, LOVE.

II there is one mortal feeling free from the
impurities of earthly fraily, that tells us in the
slightest breathings of its celestial origin, it is
that Of a mothers love--a mothers chaste,
overwhelming, and everlasting love for her
children
The name of mother is our childhood's
talisman-our refuge and our safeguard in all
our mimic misery; It's the first half-formed
word that falls from the babbling tongue, the
first idea that dawns on the opening mind; the
first, the fondest, and the most lasting lie in
which affection can bind the heart of man! 1t
is from the beginning the same, and unchange-
able. 1t owes not its being to this world, or
the things in this world, but is independent and
sef-existent, enduring whilst the pulse OF life
animates the breast that fosters it; and if there
be any thing of mortality which survives the
grave, surely its best and noblest passion will
never perish Oh! it is pure and holy eman-
alton Of Heavens mercy, implanted in the
heart of woman for the dearest and incest pur-
pose, to be at once her truest and most sacred
pleasure, and the safety and the blessing Of her
offspring.
Ills not selfish passion, depending for its
permanency on the reciprocation of advantages;
but in its sincerity. 1t casteth out itself, and
centres but in the happiness OF It's object; and
when the welfare of that object is at stake, it
putteth away fear and knoweth not WEAKNESS:
1t is not excited by form Of feature, but rather
by happy perversion perception, imbues all
things with imaginary beauty. 1t watches
over our helpless infancy with the ceaseless be.
nightly of guardian angel-anticipates every
childish wish, humors every Maynard fancy
soothes every transient sorrow, sings our sweet
lullaby to rest, and cradles us on its warm and
throbbing breast; and when pain and sickness
prey upon The fragile form, what medicine is
there like mothers kisses? what quieting
pillow like mothers bosom? or when launch
ed into the wide ocean Of "a tempes,uous world
what eve gazes on our adventurous voyage
with halt the eagerness of maternal fondnes5
amid the sad yet not unpleasing contest OF
hopes and fears, and deep anxielies When
the rugged path of life has been bravely, pa
tientIy, and nobly trodden-when prosperity
has smiled upon us-when virtue has upheld
us amid the world 'sstemptations; virtue which
she herself planted in us-and when fame has
bound her aurels round us, is there heart
that throbs with liyelier or more grateful
pleasure?
