State. but in my opinion should be under the
control of the Board Of Agriculture,
Such department is much needed for the
benefit of the largest class, by far, Of the pop.
uiation Of this State-the tillers of the soil.
Through the medium Of such department,
that information peculiarly necessary to thrifty
husbandry, can be acquired and transmitted.
Varieties of seeds may be disseminated and
the agricultural resources of the State devel-
oped, and their extent, with reasonable certain
ty, made known. The subject it recommen-
ded to your care.
! In looking over the law TO provide for the
election of electors &C President and Vice
President OF the United States it appears to
be imperfect, and to require an amendment
The Sd section enacts, THAT it shall be the
duty Of the judges of elections TO seal up one
of the poll-books," &c, (which shall be carried
within three days. after the day of election, to
the sheriff Of the proper county," &c.
The sheriff is to deliver the poll book, so re-
ceived by him, or cause the same to be deliV-
ed. to the secretary of state, DC.
The difficulty that may arise under this Sec
ton, is the loss or destruction Of The poll-books
so TO be forwarded TO the Secretary Of State.
| Should such a casualty happen, there appears
| to be no remedy prescribed. The law makes
no provision what shall be done with the other
poll book. 1t seems TO me that such further
Legislation is necessary, as to require it to be
deposited with the county clerk, and to author
ize certified copies tobe used as evidence in the
one transmitted by the sheriff shall be either
lost or destroyed; perhaps some other remedy
more appropriate may be devised.
1 Il LII. Al, A
| bly, TO district the State for the election of
| Representatives to the Congress of the United
States under the late sproportionment This
duty should be performed, as have no doubt
it will be, not with view 10 political majorites
but to compact and convenient territory. The
people should know their representatives well,
and they their constituents.
! Another subject of universal interest to
the American people. is the arrival Of the Hum
garian Patriot on our shores. 1t has created
an excitement in the bosoms of freemep, only
equealed by the landing Of our own Lafayette
after an absence Of forty years, to revisit ma
ton whose freedom and independence his SER
vices had contributed SO essentially to estab-
Iish.
The President has deemed the arrival Of the
great Magyar of sufficient Importance to ask
of Congress directions for his reception in the
Capitol of the United States. Governors have
invited him to become the guest of States and
inmate of Executive mansions.
The empire City turned out en- masse to dc
honor to the man, not for himself, but the no.
bio principles he cherishes, and everywhere
avoWs, for the freedom and happiness of bis
race, and to hail his deliverance from Russian
and Austrian oppression and injustice.
Ohio should not be behind other sections ol
the Union in extending to Louis Kossuth bel
welcome and her hospitality. Let those
who fee from the political storms and convul
sions of the Old World, whether to seek quiet
and repose in ours, or to ask our aid in estab-
fishing the unquestionable rights of man, fnd
US great, magnauimous and generous people
worthy of the institu tions we enjoy, and ready
to send our influence wherever it may tend tc
elevate the masses, and weaken the power
that does not respect their rights.
The propriety of providing by resolution fol
extending an invitation to this most distinguish
ed Son Of Freedom, to visit our Capitol, at al
early period your of aession, ,isrespectfully rec
commended; and. if he canno: receive the hos
pitalty of the Executive mansion of the thirc
State in the Confederacy, let him be honoreC
with what will be infnently more acceptable
a voluntary and enthusiastic greeting from th'
citizens of Ohio, who cherish his virtues, re
spect his talents and patriotism, and enjoy tht
/ like free institutions he has, in vain sought t.
! establish in his fItherland
Many. very many, subjects of Legislation
are entirely omitted on this occasion. They
are however, such as will not escape our at
tention, and will doubtless receive due consid
Grafton and regard.
In setting the new Government in motion
it will be vastly better to begin Alright, to d
but little, and perform it well, than to d.
much, without proper care and mature deli5
s Grafton.
To you look to supply any omissions ana
defects of my own, in this communication, an
cannot but express the hope, that the sam
Almighty power who has conferred such mul
titudes OF blessings on our State and Natior
will inspire this General Assembly with wis
dom, in the discharge ofits various and impor
tant trusts, that its action may tend to the per
J manent happiness and welfare Of the people c
