GENERAL CONDITION OF THE STATE.
A succession of bountiful harvests and a
continued prosperity in all departments of
legitimate industry, have tended to pro-
duce a general relaxation from the rules of
rigid economy, and led to unnecessary ex-
travagance 10 the administration of the af-
fairs Of the State. This tendency should
he guarded against and the expenses of the
State government retrenched in every
practicable and proper manner. Generous
provisions should be made for the support
lof our charitable institutions; an enlight-
Iened and liberal policy should be adopted
in regard to the educational interests ;while
the State should pay her officers an ample
compensation for their services, in the
form Of fixed and determinate salary, at
the same time cutting off all perquisites, and
holding them to strict accountability.
| The following statistics are interesting,

THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
The Commissioners appointed by the
Act Of the Legislature, approved October
End, 1856, to hear and determine the claim
of Andrew Proudit, growing out of his
contract with the State, for the erection of
a Lunaiic Asylum, after full hearing of
the proofs and allegations of the parties,
awarded the sum of s7,4S2 to Mr.. Proud
it This award, by the terms of the Act
is final and conclusive between the parties.
This vexed matter being thus disposed Of,
immediate steps should be taken for the
erection of a suitable asylum for the In
sane. The present condition of that unfor-
tunate class of our citizens, renders such
early and efficient action, on your part, an
obvious duty. Many of them are unable,
through lack of requisite means, to find
a refuge in foreign asylums. Such are
