MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR pEAsE, OF TEXAS.

The Galveston Civilian extra, which reached us yoster
day contains the message of Governor Pese TO the egs
ature Of Texas The following abstract taen from the
Pcayune that portion of the message which relates to
the adjustment of the Texas debt will be read with in
tertst:
The governor in favor Of the acceptance by the legis
aure the of the last Congress for the usent OF
the Texas debt notwithstanding the result of the late cleo
ou which shows about q 200 votes against it, He
that as only 900 the As 900 poed expressed any
opinion the subject small majority is test OF the
public opinion and ought exercise any influence the
action Of the legislature.
He recapuaes the we'll story of the Texas debt
the scaling process and the construction at the United States
treasury the boundary bill of 1850, with the appropriation
therein and the conclusion that the question
never be settled under previous laws and that this is accept
able to the creditors honorable the State and respectful
and he argues that 1t is Tor the interest of the
State accept it, He therefore recommends the passage OF
such law will give it effect concurreny with another
law approprang of the be received under its
provisions will be sufficient to pay those cred
ors pro will be less than what Texas admits be
due the difference between their pro and what is admit
ted, which he estimates at about slls,9 A.
This debt being settled the governor describes Texas to
be in better financial condition than any other State OF the
Union.
She had in the treasury 42 IS the first day OF
the present month"; besides the school fund of mil
lions of dollars In addition to this she will receive under
the Congress before referred the OF S7S 63 49,
making up the deficiency between what is due POI
Of creditors and the they will receive
der that She has also public domain, the value OF
which scarcely be estimated.
The value of her taxable property is increasing with
tonhing rapidty The increase from 1853 to 1855 was
about per cent and from 1854 to 1853 about
, seventeen per cent
n He recommends reduction Of the State tax, and
lanes the State meet the expenses of govern
men which have for four years been by the procee OF
the United States bonds derived from the boundary settle
meut and that the bonds shall be husbanded for
poses OF general utility
