HOUSE.
The following message from the Governor was
read
To the House of Representatives.;
BY the provisions of the bill herewith returned,
entitled 8" an act to incorporate the Memphrama-
cog Literary and Theological Seminary" the cor
poraton is made perpetual No power is reserv-
ed to alter or amend the act by future legislation,
as the public good and the circumstances and con-
dtion of society may hereafter require. The con-
don of society is continually changing; that
which may be expedient and for the best good of
community at this time, may-reasoning from the
past-in a course of years require alteration to
adapt it to the wants and wishes of our posterity.
And in my view, nothing but the most absolute
necessity will warrant legislation of this character;
it ought never 10 be resorted to, except when the
objects in view are of such magnitude and difficult
ty of attainment, as to afford no other probable
means of Accomplishment. am the more read-
ly brought 10 this conclusion by the entire conf
dence feel in the intelligence and liberay OF
those who may succeed US.
By leaving acts of incorporation open 10 future
legislation, cannot for a moment permit myself
to believe that the rights or property of ndividu-
nal or viii ho hu tho
position of unnecessary or unreasonable restrc-
tons or alterations, or that future Legislators will
not understand and fully appreciate the wants and
wishes of suciety as it may hereafter exist.
Entertaining these views, | feel it my duty to
return the bill in question to the House of Repre-
sentatives, in which it originated for their recon-
sideration. S. H. JENIsON.
