MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF MI
CHIGAN

CktASrhE
It is an encouraging circumstance for the
friends of education, that so much Importance
has been given to the subject by the different
Governors of the States in their annual mes
sages at the opening of the several Legislatures
this winter Governor Woodbridge, of Michi-
gan, in his message, delivered on the 9TH, calls
special attention to the condition of public In
struction in the State Various defects are point
ed out in the existing systems of common
schools, especially as it regards the laying off Of
districts and the imposition of taxes. The con
dition of lhe State University is alluded to-an
institution which seems to be designed upon a
scale of gigantic proportions, having its CHIEF
sndowments in public lands granted by the State
and the General Government. The University
has its bIanches in different parts of the State,
some of which are now in successful operation.
OF the CENTRAL institution, four buildings for
professoB' residences are finished, the grounds
arranged, and large edifice for students will
be FINISHED early in the ensuing summer.
The Governor recommends an immediate ap-
plication to Congress for a survey of the North
em boundary, which separates Michigan from
the British territory. This boundary, 1T seems,
is not so defnitively laid down as TO prevent the
possibility of dispute,
The internal improvements of the State con-
stitute an important topic of discussion. The
great error has been in undertaking too many
large works at once The consequences are that
the whole system is brought to stand in an i'm
perfect condition, and the obligations of the state
have accumulated without the means of meeting
them being at present available. After referring
to the unpromising aspect of things now in
view, with the difficult alternatives that lay be-
fore them, the Governor concludes upon the sub
iect thus:
eGAnd, to rescue our constituents and our State
from a condition so rapidly approaching, ana yet
so humiliating and so full of peril, think, gen
tlemep. that but one course remains-that is, to
consent TO look at our great public works, soiely
as a matter Of finance, as measure OF pecuniary
concern merely-at once, and manfully to sacra-
Zee on the altar Of true honor and patriotism, all
local preiudices and partialities, and with one
accord, to apply all the available means that re-
mains to us, to the completion OF that one OF
hem whic h will most certainly be productive:
Nnlch, from a lull CONSIDERATION "a al cuCuiL-
tances, and an honest estimate of chances, will
urnish the strongest and the best guaranty that
IS pecuniary avails will the most certainly be
,qual to the sem-annual interest which the state
must soon cast about for ways and means to
ay."
Some increase of the general State tax is re-
ommend'ed also the appointment of commits
toners to make new assessment and valuation
f proper ty in the State.

The services and the sacrifices of the people OF
this town in the cause of our country, both IN
the first war of Independence and in the last;
their enterprise and valor by land and by sea;
their Pertinacious perseverance in the principles
of Republieanism, in peace and in war, unshak-
en- by all the awful experiences OF the latter;
their fidelity to the cause of HFree Trade, and
Sailors Rights throughout all the difficulties
and dangers of asserting them-deserve the re-
spect of all classes and parties, and entite them
to the gratitude Of every American heart. About
the close of the revolution, when the population
was much inferior to the. present numbers,

ferers chiefly by that war, exhibited the follow

The statement was, we believe, without a

Nor in the last war were they confined to the

regulars, almost another of the flying artillery,
and many scattering recruits for other service,
were raised there were in town, eight different
recruiting parties at one time. 1t is no wonder
that they soon became special .taroTiteS with
the British, and the capture of one of them
subject ofbloody exultation; they were tortured
almost as ingeniously as the red allies could

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF THE GOVERNOR
OF MAINE-We have not received an eastern
journal containing this State paper entire. The
Boston. Mercantile Advertiser of yesterday
maker; some extracts from it. aid speaks of
ssas well written, sensible document-rather
elaborate, it is true, but Astounding in interest
ing information and useful suggestions"
The Boundary question forms prominent
subject of the address. After abiding to the
Obstacles and delays which have hitherto pre-
vente d an arrangement, Gov. Kent says;
ct he time cannot be far distant, when the
question Lust assume more definite shape,
either peaceable or warlike; and much as we
NAV deprecate the awful evils and miseres of
war, we ought TO be prepared to meet the issue,
if sue b, after all, is the determination of our op
ponen Is, with the firmness of men who feel that
thew ave the right, and who will not yield to
threat or force, the inheritance of our fathers
and tile rightful territory of our state. The
unaniInity which has characterised our state on
this question, in the midst of all our political
excite ments is a sure guarantee that the peo-
ple are ready to sustain their rulers in all Judi
cious. temperate, vet firm and decided measures,
and th at it is regarded by them as too sacred
| and too solemn a subject 10 be made the in
strument of any mere party schemes OF move
ments."
| He ad-vsrts to the occupation, by order of the
| Governor. General OF Canada, of the posts at
Tamiscouta Lake and Maaawaska, by British
troops, in direct violation of the stipulated agree
ment between the authorities of New Bruins
wick and Maine, and says:
i sI cannot but view tins proceeding, as nay pre-
decessor does, in his reply to Sir John Harvey,
as "a direct and palpable Infringement ofthe sub
sisting ARA ngement,' and as taking military
possession OF that portion of the contested terri
tory. And If the suggestion OF 1t. Gov. Har-
vey. who seems not to have been consulted in
relation to this new act of jurisdiction, and who
evidently regards it with regret, il not in.
} fringement of subsisting arrangements, is dis
regarded, and the British troops permanent
ly located at Madawaslxa, l all feel it my
duty to reiterate the request already made to the
/ General Government, and to urge upon that
Government the justice and erpedeilcy Of TAX
ing gnilitaqy possession on that part Of the
United States Of the territory IN dispute. The
General Government owes it to Maine to msve
| forward in this matter, with premptness and
energy, with a sincere, and even anxions desire
to preserve peace, but with equally firm. de-
termination to maintain subsisting engagements
on our part, and to insist upon full perform
} ance from the other party"

and followed his tracks about three miles, when
they overlook him in the woods, and fired at him
al the disiasce of abont fftecn feet, without any
apparel effect he fetrea;ed some fifty rods, and
stopped.
Two of the party again approached to within
about ten feet and fired again, when he turned and
came At his pursuers with the utmost icrocity but
fortunately "a hound which they had with them ut
this moment seized him behind. and caused him
again to retreat short distance. After firing n
dozen round, of shst and balls they disIbled
him as to all.w them to approach and knock him
on The head with an axe.
He measures u feet in length, and l2l inchc.

He has been exhibited in this town, and is consd-
