was received from Governor Hubbard The session OF
the Legislature is a special one, and designed for
yison of the laws. The Message relates m the maa
TO an improvement OF the State laws. The following
extracts treat of national and State matters together
"Congress its late session passed an act curing 4
the respective States district their territory for
the election Of Representatives 10 the popular branch
of our Government md also for fixing the ratio OF such
presentation. New Hampshire, according 10 the PRO.
visions Of that net will be entitled TO only ur Repre-
sentatlves in Congress for the next ten yrurs Enter
tanning decided opinion against the policy OF dividing
our State districts for the choice OF Repese niaves
and believing that Congress has constitutional pow"
or TO re qure Of the State governments such an act Of
legislation, hope such law wall be passed ut iiie

addresses se exclusively 10 your own good sense and
sound discretion.
Il received, from the Secretary Of the Treasury Of
our National Government, communication, under
date of June 24h, lS42, in which he was pleased 10
call my attention TO the third section OF the act {" Con-
press approved Sep,e mber 4th e4 entitled An tcto
the proceeds Of the sales Of the public lands
and TO grant pre- emp,on rights; and requested the "to
cause his department to BE- put possession nj ety

such agent or agents. may have been designated 10
receive The portion of the proceeds OF the sales oil tie
public lands accrung 10 the State Of New Hampshire
under the provisions of the aforesaid act of September
4th, l54I." To this communication replied, among
other matters 'ha the Legislature at It's recent ses
sion, did fit appoint any agent for The purpose
above stated and am aware, as tie Legislature has
made no such appointment, that, by The provision OF
the act, am authorized to designate person 10 re-.
ceye, the Treasury of the United States, that por'n
of the nett proceeds of the sales OF The public lands
which would belong IN pursuance OF SAID act, 10 tie
State Of New Hampshire. Yer, cannot feel myself
justified in SO doing Regarding this act OF Congress,
as unwarran.ed by the Constitution of the United
States cannot agree authorize and direct, that any
portion Of the national funds shall be Withdrawn Tor
the exclusive use of New Hampshire, which, IN my
judgment. should be applied to the use of the whole
Republic.
THE recent act Of Congress imposing Tariff OF Gu.
ties imports puts end 10 this most obnoxious pc.
Icy of distributing the public means among the res.
pecye States We cannot but rejoice that an enc has
been put disrbution-but deeply regret that It
has been accomplished By the adoption Of system Of
revenue that has nothing recommend TO our hver
but the provision which contains for contInIng iee

Upon the subject Of retaining Gov Dorr IN the State,
though fugitive from justice, and guilty OF high
handed treason, the message says:
"The course | felt bound 10 take has been strongly
condemned by one portion OF our fellow CITIZENS, and
as strongly approved by another. All that have to
cay is that have done more than what my con.
science sanctions-no than what an honest dis'
charge of my public duty required at my hands. Ii
the views of ihose Vho oppose the pursued DC
