into specific enumeration Of all such measures
as would, if perfected, effect the attainment of our

necessity OF a sound constitutional currency TO

regulated system OF Common Schools and The
School Fund; TO the finances OF the State, and TO
the promotion Of "virtue, science and knowledge"

appreciation as may come within the constitu-

"To the same department is entrusted the high
responsibility of seeing that the laws are faithful

acted on it.
Both Houses passed resolutions in honor of
The memory of General Jackson. The following
is one of the resolutions OF the House:
"Bs ii Mer, fare rcsolred, That The memory of
Andrew Jackson will ever be dear 10 the people
of Florida. Il was he who first drew aside the

patriotic course that caused lis acquisition by the
United Staes-he received lis transfer from the
King of Spain-he was the first Governor of the
Territory OF Florida, and ever its steadfas friend
and therefore, besides the deb OF gratitude due
from his countrymen in every part OF this broad
empire, for his eminent military and civil SER
vices. FIoridians should be among the first and
foremost 10 cherish his fame as Identified with their
own Stale"
