 sed; and to fill that vacancy the Executive ap pointed Robert W. Johnson, on the sixth day of July, 1853, until the meeting of the Gene ral Assembly.
 The duty of electing Senator for the unex pired time for which Solop Borland was elect ed, as we'll as Senator for the next six wears thereafter, devolves upon the General Assembly at its present session. That the State may have her full representation in the Senate at the commencement of the next session of Con- gress on the first Monday ot next month, it is recommended that Senator be elected at an early day.
 Although the productions of the earth this year have not been so abundant in our State as usual, we have great cause to be thankful to Almighty God that he has protected Us from all kinds of pestience, and caused unusual good heath generally to prevail, and the earth to yield suthciency for our sustenance, support and comfort.
 Having the fullest confidence iny your wisdom integrity and patriotism, in common with our constituents, look forward for the results of your session to bring honor and prosperity upon the State; and 1 shall be a faithful co-worker Tn seeking to effect these objects.
