ging, and leave no doubt, that the work
when completed, viii be of great value to
the State, as Of well deserved credit to the
distinguished Author. A communication
from him, upon the subject, viii be sub
mitted to you during the Session, and will
merit your consideration.
The Reports of the Secretary of State
and State Treasurer, exhibit the financial
condition of the State, as sound and credi-
table.
The General Fund in the Treasury, has
been sufficient to meet all demands upon it,
during the past fiscal year, both as the cur
rent liabilities Of the year, and the unpaid
Indebtedness of the year 1851, within the
small sum Of S94O II
General fund received from 3Ist
Dec, 1851, to 3Ist Dee.
1852, Sl33,652 81
Amt disbursed in 1852, 1858 33
Over paid out of this fund, $40 II
Of the above disbursements du-
ring the year 1852, there
has been paid on HabiIi-
ties incurred during the
year, $88,893 50
On liabilities incurred previous
Iy to 1852, and which re-
manned unpaid, Deem
Der 31st 1851, 46,2OO 90
The reports show, that, had the full
amount of the State tax due from the diff
ferent counties, for the year 1852, been
paid into the Treasury, there would have
been a surplus, over the disbursements, and
that the assessments were more than suffi-
Gent, to meet the current expenses and la
bilities Of the year.
The suggestions of the Secretary of
State, in relation to the unequal assessments
in the different counties, will require your
attention.
The Report of the Board of Public
Works, has not yet been made but when
received, viii be laid before you, accom-
panied by special communication on the
subject of the Fox and Wisconsin River I'm
provement.
The Reports of the State Prison Com
missioner, and the Regents of the Uni
versity, will command from you due con-
sideration
In the month of May last, a Commits
sioner Of Emigration was appointed for
this State, who soon, thereafter, entered
upon his duties in the city of New York,
in carrying out the objects of the law upon
this subject, passed by the last Legislature
His first annual Report, which viii be sub
mitted to you, viii show with what success
he has so far administered his agency, as
also the feasibility and present and pro-
spective usefulness of the system. The
great interest SO generally and so justly
felt, in this State, In the cause of foreign
emigration, to which our rapid growth in
population and wealth, thus far, has been
so much attributable; and the results al
ready attained, by the labors Of the Com
missioner, viii commend this subject to
your favorable regard.
AS the immediate representatives of the
people, in all parts Of the State, you are
presumed to understand their wants and
interests; which, together with the public
welfare, you viii no doubt wisely consult
by your legislation; and in so doing you
may be assured of having the best wishes
and full concurrence of the Executive De
Partment.
