! rejoice with you, at the well-merited
rebuke which the proposition 10 renow the
African Slave Trade has received at lone
and abroad, God forbid that we should
50 far forget what is due to our own rep-
ntation, to say nothing Of justice and hu-

earnestly recommend The usual appropri-
ations, to aid this great cause Of human
ity, which promises 50 much good to The
colored man, as well as permanent peace
and harmony in our own commonwealth.
The frequent Communication, and the
amount Of business transactions, which cx-
ISIS between the citizens Of the United.
States and tho subjects Of foreign govern
ments, have induced several Of the States
to provide, by law. for the appointments Of
Commissioners Of Deeds, authorized TO I.
take acknowledgments Of Deeds, Deposi-
tons Mortgages, &c. The propriety Of
making provisions to authorize similar ap-
pointments on the part Of this State, Is
submitted to your consideration. ~.
The statute on the subject Of granting
divorces requires revision which will re-
lieye our Courts from the pressure Of APP
plicaiious for divorce, FOR all imaginable
causes, on the part Of citizens Of other
States. You will. doubtless, promptly ap-
ply remedy for this state Of things, by
requiring of the parties, in such cases, an
actual residence of two or more years.
The public records Of the State, includ-
Ing those Of the Supreme Court and ofthe
departments CT the Secretary, the Auditor,
and the Treasurer Of State, are insecure,
and liable to be injured or destroyed by
fire. In order to place these records In a
condition Of greater security, and to re-
leve the State from the payment Of hea-
Wy rents, sound policy requires the imme-
diaic commencement on the ground occu-
pied by the State Treasurer, Of an edifce
sufficiently commodious Cor the Offices Of

State House exclusively for the use Of the
Legislature and the State Library.
