GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Gentlemen Of the Senate
and ofth House of Representatives :

Gentlemen Of the Senate
and ofthe House of Representatives
Assembled together us the Representa-
tives Of the people, to consider the condi-
ton of public affairs, your attention IS prop
erly directed to those pleasing circumstan-
ces which evince the goodness Of an over
ruling Providence, 10 whose favor we are
indebted for all we enjoy. We are thus
reminded, too, Of the large measure Of
gratitude we owe for unincumbered bless
ings and benefits. A year, crowded with
events Of interest, has been added to the
past, since | last addressed your honorable
body. Abundance has crowned the labors
of the husbandman in that period. Com
merce and domestic industry flourish and
increase. Sickness prevailed to some ex-
tent in various parts of the State, during
the months Of August and September, yet
its fatality has been inconsiderable. Tran
guilty and order have been maintained
within our borders. The supremacy Of the
laws is still acknowledged, land the advance
ment of our people in virtue, morality and
all the elements of national greatness, has
been unabated. ....
The duties Of the different branches Of
the State government have been discharg-
ed during the past year with promptness
and fidelity, giving ample guaranty. con.
tnually,that the rights Of persons and prop
erty. and all the interests of community
have been objects Of high regard. The
reports Of the heads Of the several depart
ments which will. in due time, be laid be-
fore you, will furnish you with detailed
statement oftheir condition and operations
The following statement exhibits gen.
eral view Of the receipts and disburseme nts
Of the State government during the last
fiscal year: .s,.

collisions will arise between the authorities
end people Of Ohio and those ofthe States
possessing the opposite shore of the river,
Whichmay disturb the harmony so desirable

Court of the United States, in the mode

settlement Of controversies between differ

done, to settle these questions amicably,
and in such manner as best to promote
the convenience Of The people on both sides
of the river, than to resort to liti CATION
|, therefore, recommend that the Gener-
al Assembly of Ohio propose the appoint
ment of Commissioners with full power to
make settlement both with Virginia and
Kentucky, by separate compacts, Of the
questions Of boundary, and, also, of the use,
navigation and jurisdiction Of and over the
Ohio river, or the settlement Of either of
these questions. The compacts thus entered
into would no doubt readily receive the
assent of Congress, in conformity with the
10th section OF the lst article Of the Const-
tuition Of the United States, and thus become
binding.
| am induced the more cheerfully to
propose this amicable mode Of putting
forever at rest these complicated nddelicate
questions, from the assurance which feel,
founded upon the known patriotism of both
Virginia and Kentucky, and their disposi-
ton, as manifested on many occasions, to
promote the harmony of the States and of
the Union, that the offer will, by them, be
met in the same cordial spirit Of amity in
which it originates.
The able and detailed statement of oul
affairs already given to you at the presen
session by my immediate predecessor who
during period of far more than ordinary
difficulty, has discharged his high duties
with SO much fidelity and patriotism, ron
ders it unnecessary that should,o the pres
ent occasion, say moro.
With these very brief and general recon.
mendations, therefore, | confidently com.
mend the interests of Ohio to the wisdom Of
her legislature,praying thutAlmightyBeing
who rules in the armies of Heaven and o.
mongst the inhabitants of the earth, who
made bare his arm in our defence on the
battle fields Of the Revolution, and went out
before our pioneer ancestors into this West
ern wilderness as cloud by day and pill
lar of fire by night, that he will not visit
upon us our manifold national transgres.
sions, that he will give to our rulers wis
dom and our people peace, and that in all
time to come he will be the God of our
children as in the days of old he was the
Code our fathers. ........

Since the last session of the General
Assembly, the people of the United States
have become involved in sanguinary war
with the Republic of Mexico attended with
the loss of life and treasure and that train
of calamities incident to war with for
eign nation. The unfortunate events
which have led to this conflict it is not my
purpose TO discuss, or even 10 notice in This
communication. 1t is subject OF regret
that this collision Of arms with the people
of a sister republic has occurred, occupying
with US as they do, the soil of the new
world, and in whose. protracted and ardu-
GUS struggle for the establishment OF their
liberties on the principles Of our own gov
ernment we have heretofore felt deep in
terest. The enlightened friends Of liberty
and humanity had for some years INDUCED
the hope that they had found in the liberal
and free institutions OF America, fabric
of civil government capable Of being con-
Quoted on the most enlightened and eleva.
ted principles Of philanthropy and chris
tianity, securing safe protection to the
rights and liberty Of every citizen, and af-
fording an asylum. place Of refuge, to
the unfortunate Of other countries from the
expressions and devastating wars. resulting
from their political systems. The belief
was entertained that the humane and en-
lighlened public sentiment ofthis age would
soon conduce to the amicable adjustment Of
all the disputes and controversies Of ma
tions, consistent even with the most refined
sense Of honor, through the intervention
Of arbitrations and International adjudica-
lions -thal those restless elements OF am
bition and jealousy which have SO long kept
mankind in state of hostile cornmotion,
might be overcome and brought into sub
mission by an elevated tone ofmoral senti-
menr without resort to the cruelties OF
warfare. But, existing circumstances
threaten disappointmentto these hopes and
! anticipations ofthe philathropist. ltise,.

The cause Of education, combining both
moral and intellectual culture has been a
matter of primary interest in Ohio since
the first foundation of the State Govern
ment; and no subject can be of more last
ing and vital importance to free people.
A system of education has been very prop.
erly looked upon as not only an ornament
Of our political edifce, but also as the
foundation on which it rests and the
rock Of its future safety. The importance
of the subject, however, and the zeal with
which it has been espoused, have no, fully
overcome as yet the deep rooted prejudices
of some portions of our people against the
measures necessary for the improvement
Of the system. 1t is TO be lamented that
our school system is yet so inefficient in its
operations, and that our Common School
Fund, that source Of just pride to the peo-
pie Of the State, is expended every year,
with less than half the advantages to the
youth of the State which ought to be de-
rived from it. There is general want o!
energy efficiency and discipline IN the sys.
tenn. In former communication had
occasion to urge upon the General Assem-
bly, the means deemed essential for the fur.
ther improvement of this system of Edu-
cation, TO which | respectfully refer you.

THE WHO "NEW BOOKS. y

The III temper manifested by the "lntelligenoer"
abundanty proves that our articles have opened up
a sore and unpleasant subject for that paper. IL
reckless and bold assertion could pass for sct, then
il is quite certain that the "lntelligencer'' would
screen ia friends from all criticism censure. But
mere assertion cannot batter down truth. We have
proved our allegations to be true, and that the an
eliigencer's" statements mere fancies. The
wings promised, in 1910, to reduce the expenses Of
the government from the point where Mr.. Van Bu-
rem left them. History shows they increased them.
They pretended that he had incurred large ma
,onal debt often stated by them at thirty.ons mil
lions, which they promised to pay of and can
eel The record shows they left ten millions more
debt than they found. They promised a diminu-
ton of the burdens Of the people. Even the "ln-
teligencer" is driven to admit that taxes were
increased. To escape from this subject, so nm
grateful to its friends, the ingenious editor assaulted
Mr. Van Buren, by quoting that monument Of err
rors, Mr.. Ewing's report. We pointed out, in its
quotation one error OF thirteen millions Of dol
lars; and we have shown that the basis upon which
another assertion was made vas another extraordi-
nary error On these subjects the "Inleligencer''
maintains an eloquent sienes. We have not time to
pursue this subject at present; but we hope to be
able, when documents from the departments are
fully printed, to look further into the wing "new
books"

was spent in executive session, when the Senate
adjourned over to Monday.
In the Ho,ps, few reports from committees were
made; all of which, with two exceptions, were Of .
private character. These exceptions were--a bill
by Mr. CT Ingersoll, from the Committee on For

lIth March, l64I, with the republic Of Peru; and q

THE HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRE-.
SENTATIVES.

We spent more than two hours in the representa-
tiv.s' hall to-day, and "order reignsd in Warsaw.
The orators spoke loudly and distinctly; and the
House was attentive, orderly and digni6ed in their
action The only outbreak was, when each speaker
terminated his address, there was an impusive
movement to obtain the floor; and, Of course, a
clamorous outcry of "Mr Speaker" to catch the
ear, and the favorable decision Of the chair. The
ordor of the debate still continues unabated--for
at the end of Mr.. Chipman's hour, not less than
twenty members jumped to their feet to obtain the
floor. Mr.. Cooke, of Tennessee, was the fortunate
competitor
We ascrbed the first movement Of yesterday to
reform the structure Of the hall to Mr.. Owen OF
Indiana but the first resolution was really brought
forward by Mr.. Ashmun Of Massachusetts, We
again publish both resolutions, and gives ms plea
sure TO discover that two gentlemen Of different
par,ies-the one from the North, and the other from
the wes,--are both deeply impressed with the ne
cessity of improving the house, and both actively
embarked in this meri,orious object. We can only
pledge ourselves to an energetic cooperation in this
design, and are preparing the materials of another
appeal for its accomplishment

UNION AND HARMONY,

We cannot too oflen iaculeate ths importance Of
union and harmony in our ranks Upon the pre-
seryation Of such spirit, every political blessing
which the best political priseipss are capable O.
comforting upon the country IS at last dependens
No greater indsereton can be committed by great
party 10 power, Than 10 allow differences Of opinion,
which do not touch the general principles which
should bind !, together be the oscason Of iis dis
rupdon. There is rarely at any time single que.-
ton Of sxpediency Of such magnitude, and enduring
Importance, that the concord Of party need be dis
turbed permanently by variant views upon such a
measure. IL solitary msssure, which happens 70
be uppermosi in the public thought, shall be erica
cious enough TO destroy, by division, the power ae-
qdired to FIX for years general policy, then Il may
be said that the animated struggles renewed every
four wears are worthless and uncompensated. a
Why has il come To be considered, that the chance
for the return Of minority to power, IS as good as
that of the majority TO preserve its aseendeney un-
impaired, Plainly for these reasons--ihat unity
among the weak is a child Of necessity, al
ways capable Of achieving wonders and that an
oyer-confdenee, with diminished sympathy among
the members Of great and overlooking majority, Is
very apt to terminate in misfortune. IL majorites
were animated, when in the fruition Of power, by
that kindly spirit Of toleraton that zeal which, when
The battle rugged, fused the mass, and rendered 1t in
vineible, the political revolutions which it IS the
province of history so olsn TO record, would be
unfrequent
We think that il the history OF the past establishes
any fact in regard to the future prospects Of the dem
ocratc party. is, that Whenever that party shall be
united It's triumph is certain and that when alien
ated and divided defeat will be the consequence. 10
this view, in which all will probably concur, the
obligation to shear and forbear" becomes lmpera-
tive IN proportion to the estimate We set upon our
general principles. II these be Of consequence so
little, that they are to be pat in hazard by Internal
differences Of opinion upon questions new and col
lateral, then no durable party basis is left. Every
integral measure however temporary in It's charae-
ter, must then become the touchstone OF party fde-
"; and, acting without combination for the estab-
shment offs general system, nothing in particular
can be accomplished.
