The Annual Message of Governor Marcy to
the Legislature of New York is of great length,
though confined properly to the affairs of the
State, of which it gives a very 1attering &C
count, embracing the following (among other)
particulars:
The State Prisons more than support Them
selves, and the number of convicts is decreasing.
The Public Schools embrace more than half
million of scholars. The Canal receipts ex-
coed largely those Of former years; and the Ca
nal fund, after buying up million and half
of the Stock at high premium, will, in two
years, be equal to the whole of the outstanding
debt. Flattering as is this perspective, in re-
Governor advises a cautious course So, too,
in respect of the numerous applications for new
Banks, he warns against the perils Of excess"

The recent movements in opposition to the
Military Academy at West Point, will we trust,
have the salutary effect Of checking that spirit
of faroritism which prevails in the appointment
of the Cadets, and which forms one OF the OBJ
jections to that institution. There is ground for
the charge to rest on, we believe. We throw
out the hint now, and shall have something fur
Their to say on the subject hereafter.

THE ALABAMA CONTROVERSY.

We are happy to lay before our readers the
following cheering paragraph from Tuscaloo-
sd (Ala.) paper, dated the Gath December
"JoyfiM HateJligence.-The Greek controver-
sy may be considered as at an end. We have
the qualification to lay before our readers and
an anxious community, message addressed to
both branches Of the Legislature by his Excel
lency Governor Gayle, with several letters not
heretofore published-among which, is a letter
addressed to the Governor by Francis S. Key,
Esq; all of which will be read with the deepest
interest. 1t will be perceived, in the language
of the message Of Governor Gayle, " that the
settlers in the new countries are to remain in
the undisturbed possession of their improve
ments, and that the orders of the Secretary of
War are to be confined exclusively to the loca-
tons which were reserved to the Indians by the
Treaty" To this arrangement, it appears to
us, there can be, there should be, no objection
any settler, who may be found upon the reser-
vations which may be allotted to the Indians,
will be required to remove. We presume no
settler, inasmuch as he has no right to the land,
will hesitate to comply with this condition.
Thus do we hope that this perplexing question
is amicably adjusted, and that no conflict will
occur between the State and the Federal au-
thorities"
Mr. Key writes to Governor Gayle on the 10th
Dec. that he had understood the settlers would
be generally satisfied with this arrangement
and that feao, if any Of them, who may be
found in these reservations would, if left to pur
sue their own course, be SO unreasonable as to
refuse either to buy of the Indians or remove
from their lands, and let them sell to others.''
