Governor CoRw1s's Message is brief and able
We condense the following summary Of It's coz
tents from the State Journal:
The Governor, after sentiment of gratitude to
the Giver of Good, alludes TO the success which
has continued to attend system of self-gevern-
ment, and TO the causes which have contributed to
result so important. That success he ascribes to
the degree of intelligence which distinguishes our
citizens the people other nations, originating
and sustained by our system OF universal education
On this subject he utters sentiment, as eeautl.
fully expressed as it is true and just: 1T,
(Educa,ion) says Gov. c., is with US not merely
the ornament of our political edihce; it is the
foundation on which it stands, and without which
it must crumble into ruins, and crush in its tall
those who in false and fatal security, have taken
up their abode in it"
Gov. C. speaks of the act of the last Legisls-

banks in the State, in sound and solvent condl-
ton. and Justly entitled to the public confidence
OF this number the charters Of thirteen expire in
about three weeks time and two others follow
| within tho next thirteen months. The aggregate
capital of these institutions is about S., 600 OOO,
considerable portion of whichis held by non.resl-
dents If these banks are suffered to go out of
existence, the present extreme distress must be
greatly aggravated. In that case, we shall have
only eight banking corporations remaining in the
State, from which to derive a currency.
Gov. C.. expresses himself in suitable terms on
the subject of the claims of the State upon the
General Government, to a distribution of the avais
Of the public lands, which would ultimately cna-
BILE this State to pay the whole amount OF her pub
lie debt. A similar reference is also made to the
