Jacinto, and Leva 1T.
In the midst of peace you have been call
ed upon to redress an assault upon the flag
of your country. The necessity of such q
step is much to be regretted by us all, though
the manner in which your stern duty has
been performed is SO honorable to your
selves.
| should omit an act of justice to you, to
those who have bravely fallen in the per-
formance of their duty, and to the service to
which you belong, if hesitated TO make
this official acknow owledgment of the faithful
and honorable manner in which all have
done their part.
The Embarrassment has been to check
the earnest zeal with which both officers
and men have sought to place themselves in
the most daring aud hazard pus positions and
to keep them at any duty, however neces-
sary, which did not bring them in contact
with the enemy.
Among the satisfactory results of the con-
nict in which you have been engaged is the
proof i, presents oil the intelligent subor-
dination So generally exhibited in this emer-
gcncy, and also of the magrauimity which
has enabled you, under asgrava,ing acts, to
respect the rights OF the people whose su-
thorites Ind forced you into hostility; and
this is the highest honor to the flag you re-
present.
Your best reward is the consciousness of
having well done your duty; but should

Of the whole let us consider few Items
First, JAMES LEsEox's bill for furnishing
heating apparatus to the New State House
gave profit of sI6 900. This, above actual
expense, and for labor done within one
year, is making money on what We woulj
call the "iast line"
Another item worthy OF notice is the bill
of WILLIAM TkEvIrr for medical attend
snce at :he Hospital OF Sl9S 90. Al the
date Of this charge he was acting Secretary
oi State, and receiving pay for the same.
lie also was in private practice as phys;-
clan at the same time, and yet sixty-six
days seem to have been spent in the service
OF the Hospital of Penitentiary, at $500
per day, without any detraction from servi-
ces rendered to State; and all this at time
when this same Hospital had a salaried
Physician. We could mention numerous
instances Of similar character, but con-
slider this enough. The people. who have
suffered from these wrongs, are the best
judges of them. and to the people we SUBJ
nit them, knowing that when such are
brought before the tribunal of the people
they will be dealt with according to their
deserts; and, though the past may not be
fully avenged. yet the perpetrators of the
past offences shall carry their "mark," end
receive no more favors through the ballot
