 Gentlemen ot tue Senate cad of
 tue House of Representatives.
 About to be immediately superseded in the Execu- five office, by my esteemed friend the Governor elect aware that neither nformation of the state of the goyernment,a nor the recommendation of measures to be considered by you, the Representatives of the people of Arkansas, arc expected from me, upon this occasion.
 cannot, however, permit this opportunity to pass without acknowledging my gratitude to you, and to the people whom you represent for the cheering support winch nave. at ali times, received from both in the discharge of my public duties. It has been my fate o encounter difficulties in public fe and perhaps 10 com init errors also; but such has been the kindness of the people towards me, and such their confidence in my integrity and good intentions that no unpardonable of fence has ever been fastened upon me and am proud 10 know, upon retiring from my present staon that my teoW-cltzens have generally expressed decided approval ot my official conduct, and seem anxious to manifest their good feelings upon all occasions In the knowledge that, in descending the walks of pri- Vate e have the good opinion of my fellow citizens enjoy consolation fully equal to the highest honors m theIr power 10 bestow If have devoted all my time and abilities to the public servicef have been faithful to my official trusts-if have uniformly main tanned true Republican principles; and been guided in the exercise of power, by due regard to the rights and wishes of the people-I conscious that have only done my duty, and that the gratitude felt for me- by my ellow-clzens, IS voluntary gift on their part to which, as public officer, have no right 10 lav claim.
 Since became, under the Constitutions Governor oi the oate the most important duty which has devov- ed upon me, has been the making of military prepar- alons for the defence and protection of our exposed frontier Its peace and security have been threatened by the war raging between Mexico and our neiohbors and brethren of Texas. We have apprehended that a band of savage boodhounds would be let loose upon our borders. This state of things together with inc establishment of many powerful Indian tribes i'm medlateiy beyond limits, and some of them at this time Tn open hostility with country, has placed Us Tn most perlous situation. Our country must now be convinced of the absolute necessity of making per manent and extensive defensive works all along thc Southwestern frontier of the Union. This conviction 1t IS hoped, will induce the National Government nl- medatey to adopt the necessary measures for aur sae y and protection.
 At the call of their country six companies of ArIan- sas volunteers have marched, and other IS ready 10 march, to the southern frontier. These brave de- lenders of homes and resides have gallany step forward at my call. They are truly volunteers, and afford an admirable illustration of the truth of the rton. that freemen can and will defend themselves.
 Upon the requsition of Gen. ARBUcKLE, another call has been made upon the patriotism of the citizens of the north and west, and already portion of the volunteers are preparing 10 march and am happy 10 be able to say that young State has proved herself adequate to meet the military calls which have been made upon her.
 We may well feel proud of the intrepid spirit display cd by the chivary of Arkansas All those who have or may step forward in the defence, deserve and will receive the lasting honor and gratitude of their coun- try.
