the last session Of the General Assembly,
amounting to upwards Of Thirty Thousand
dollars, a sum equal to the ordinary annual
expenditures Of the Government, some of
which the state will never again be obliged 10
incur, aud others not for several years-fur at
will be remembered that the Legislature. it
its last session, were compelled to pay for re-
building the State House; make appropria
tons Tor Canal Commissioners, and taking the
census, &c. These extensive approprlat. ons,
Dot only swell the amount OF expenditures, be.
ing made al time when our deprecated cur
rency was at its lowest ebb and have there
fore operated in the greatest possible manner
to exhaust the revenue. Your committee,
however, arc hapP! 10 say thal our currency
has greatly appreciated. Notwithstanding the
great amount of warrants thrown into circula.
ton in consequence Of the above appropria-
tons, and the unfortunate manner prescribed
at the last session OF the General Assembly for
their issue, and hope the plan they are about
to recommend to future disbursements will iur-
Their tend to increase its value.

wise been considerably embarrassed from the
want of efficient means to compel the annual
