steadily toward completion. Other metssrs of
State interest are adverted to, and the Governor
then aludes to National affairs. He strongly re-
commends the Colonization eff Free Blacks, and
speaks in the follow ING manner Of the peculiar In
stitution:
A domestic institution, forced upon our fore
fathers in colonial days, rather than voluntarily
adopted by them, is, for the present. the necessa-
~ policy of our Southern brethren. Any sudden
Abandonment OF that policy, is impossible Even
its gradual REIMBURSEMENT is beset with difficulty
and embarrassment. The patriots Of the Rev0lu.
tion, convened to frame a government that has
endured for three-qUarters of q cent1ry, has
spread over half a hemisp here. the blessings OF
peace, of political and religions freedom, and OF
national prosperity ;-assented TO the great prin-
ciple that each State OF the Union is sovereign
90 her internal government and her social relations
Without this recognition, absolute and uncon
ditional, the thirteen original States would never
have concurred in the federal compact. That was
the great conservative element which bound
hearts though il could not reconcile opinions
Without that element the Union would not have
been created then. Without it the Union cannot
be preserved now.
Indiana takes her stand in the ranks not Of
Southern DestsRy, nor yet of Northern Destiny
She plants herself on the basis of the Constitution
and takes her stand in the ranks of A nerican
destiny.
