To-day his Excellency Hon. Noah Martin de-
lveed his annual address, in presence Of the Exc

assembled in the Representatives Hall. The gale

gentleman Of portly and dignifed mien, and is per
sonal appearance is probably as prepossessing as
any Governor in the Union-far better than the
general average. As has been the custom in
New Hampshire for ten or fifteen years past, he
appeared In proprio persona and read his commune

an address. Formerly a written copy was sent from
the Council to the Senate and another to the House,
(ater the Governor having appeared in the hall of
the latter and taken the oath of Office. had retired)
through the Secretary Of State. The document was
then called message. The change, think was
made during the administration Of Governor Henry
Hubbard. Besides saving the labor of making two
copies, it is much more dignfed and imposing way
of making an executive communication than the old
practice; and what is the Of being Governor or
other high official if there is dignity attached to
the station?
