Industry worthy Of praise and imita-
ton.
The grounds were fitted up with
much Judgement and convenience by
the Agricultural Board, and no PAINS
for expense appeared to have been
spared to render The exhibition IN
teresting and useful to the immense
multitude assembled.
II seems to be conceded, that ex-
hibitions Of this character excite to
Industry and emulation. They bring
together different classes Of our peo-
pie, create interchanges Of sentiment,
and are productive Of general bene-
fits to the community. Any further
aid necessary TO sustain the efforts
OF this Board should not be withheld,
and il is believed that common JUS
tice. requires, that all their regular
sessions on business so important 10
our whole population, should be at
the expense OF the State.
In the immediate connexion with
this subject is that Of an Agricultural
Bureau Of Statistics. IL is author
lied by the Constitution as a depart
ment in the office Of Secretary Of
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, oi the population Of this State
the tillers Of the soil.
Through the medium Of such q
department, that Information pecu-
liarly necessary to thrifty husbandry
can be acquired and transmitted.
Varieties of seeds may be dissemina-
ted and the agricultural resources Of
the State developed, and their extent,
with reasonable certainty, made
know. The subject is recommended
to your care.
In looking over the law to provide
for the election of electors of Presi-
dent and Vice President OF the Uni.
ted States, it appears TO be imperfect,
and TO require an amendment. The
80 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 received by him, or cause
the same to be delivered to the
of State, &c.
The difficulty that may arise under
this section is the loss or destructIoR
of the poll book, so to be forwarded
to the Secretary of State. Should
such a casualty happen, there ap-
pears TO be no remedy prescribed.
The law makes no provision, what
shall be done with the other poll
book. Ii seems to me, that such iur-
Iher Legislation is necessary, as to
require il to be deposited with the
clerk, and to authorize certi-
led copies TO be used as evidence, in
ease the one transmitted by the
sheriff shall be either lost or destroy
ID; perhaps, some other remedy,
more appropriate, may be devised.
Il will, also, devolve on this Gen.
,raI Assembly, 10 District the State
or the election Of Representatives TO
he Congress Of the United States,
lnder 4he late apportionment. This
luty should be performed, as have
10 doubt il will be, not with a view
% political maiorities, but TO com.
,act and convenient territorya The
people should know their representa-
ives well, and they, their constitu-
,nts.
Another object OF universal inter-
st to The American people is the ar
ival Of the Hungarian patriot upon
'ur shores. Ii has created an excite

The President has deemed the
rival of the great Magyar Of suf-
cient importance, to ask OF Con-

Governors have invited him TO be-
