WHAT LITTLE CHILDREN GET AT
ScuooL.-A bevy of little children were
telling their father what they got at school.
The eldest got grammar, geography, arith.
metic, etc. The next got reading, spelling,
and definitions. And what do you get
my little soldier?" said the father to a rosy
checked little fellow, who was at that mo-
ment silly driving a ten.penny nail into a
door panel. "Me9 oh, gets reading,
spelling, and spaukiugs."

ernor Of the state. Before entering upon the
discharge of the duties to which | am thus
summoned, am required by the fundamen-
tai law to take an oath or affirmation to-
support the constitution of the United States
and of this state, and TO take also an oath
Of office. In compliance with a venerable
usage, not established, indeed, by the consti-
tuition, but recommended by the examples of
all my predecessors, now appear before you
for the purpose of taking upon myself the
solemn Obligations which the constitution
imposes; Of declaring, briefly, the general
principles by which, in my judgment, the
conduct of public affairs should be regula-
ted, and of indicating some of their more
obvious applications.
The constitutional duty of communicating
to the general assembly the condition of the
state, and OF recommending measures by him
deemed expedient. devolved upon my prede
cessor, who has accordingly laid before you
the reports of the several state officers, ac-
companied by such recommendations as
seemed to him most likely to promote the
public wei fare. The duty which usage i'm
poses upon me, requires no detailed exposi-
tion or elaborate discussion. In the dis
charge OF that duty shall speak with diff
dence, but with frankness. A profound sense
of defective information and limited ability
will forbid presumption; while gratitude to
the people, as deep as it is fervent, for the
generous confidence which their sulfrages
evince, will constrain me, irresistibly, not
only to the best exertion of all my faculties
in their service, but to the plainest declara.
tion of The views Of public policy, which
investigation and reflection have led me to
adopt, subject always to the corrections Of
Il { I
for general concurrence in these views | may
at least expect, from the intelligence and
Justice of the people, candid consideration
and impartial judgment.
The sovereignty of the people is the dis
tnguishing chara cteristic of our institutions.
The people constitute The state. Government
is nothing but the administration Of the af-
fairs of the people by the agents of the peo-
pie, selected in such manner and invested
with such powers as are best ada apted, in
their judgment, to the security of their own
rights, and the advancement of their own
interests.
TO the successful working of such institu-
tions, two conditions are indispensable. The
first is, personal freedom the second is, CT
fetal responsibility Without personal free
dom. inviolably secured to every individual,
there may be a community of privileged SUI
periors and degraded dependents; but there
cannot be. in the true sense of the word,
people. Without responsibility, constantly
cXdc,ed and vigorously enforced, the servants
Of the people are but too apt to become the
masters. Eternal vigilance, it has been we'll
said, is The price of liberty
In our own state personal freedom is guar
anteed by the fundamental law; and the re-
sponsibiIty of public servants is secured by
