MAINE.--soyerpor FAIRFIELD's Message Is
creditably brief and concerns itself mainly with
State affairs, The interest upon the State Debt,
which amounts to sl,700, 600, has been paid, with
$4,000 of the principal; and the Governor recon-
mends the gradual reduction, with view to the
speedy extingushment, of the whole debt. The
sum due the State from the General Government,
amounting to over half million of delars, he hopes
will be sacredly devoted to that purpose. The
present tax Of 100000 he thinks should be con-
tinued. The Report Of the Land Agent shows
the receipts for the past year to have been $50, 0oo
The Governor states that the sum Of SIT 554 is said

State her portion of the sales Of the Public Lands

he is careful not to tell it but he is decidedly OPP
posed TO the Tariff as it exists, and also TO the
Bankrupt Law He thinks Dorrism the true Re
publicanism for Rhode Island, and deals largely in
the stupid slang about King Charles Charter.
He closes by informing the Legislature that this is
the last Message he shall ever send them

course of Lectures upon the Antiquities of Amerl'

They will undoubtedly possess high degree OF
value and will be illustrated by splendid paintings
