spirit Of bitter hostility 10 the time honorcd
institutions Of Missouri, has shown itself in
the city of 81. Louis among portion Of its
Inhabitants; and while il would he unwise
and unjust 10 legislate against the interest
Of any community because Of the conduct Of
portion OF its citizens, yet il is both wise
and just TO shape your legislation with a
view to render the balance Of the State in.
dependent of its metropolis, which chooses
10 give aid and comfort TO our enemies.
We have seen in Eastern cities sysiemat-
ic attempts TO divert capital from our bor-
ders, depreciate our State credit, and even
cry down that of our individual merchants,
for the sole reason that we protect the in
stitulion Of negro slavery. This General
Assembly will not have done lis duty il it
omits any wise and Just measure TO secure
for the farmer and country merchant, com
plete independence Of mammoth city banks,
to be controlled by enemies 10 our institu-
tons, ready, as in some financial circles of
the great Atlantic cities, to make his credit
with them depend OH his political ,ubservi-
ency to their fanatical schemes. To such
enemies in our midst, we can give all the
favor and protection the Constitution guar
antees them: they cannot seriously expect
us 10 put into our mouths a financial bit
wherewith to control us. To extend rea-
sonable banking facilities to our commercial
capital 1t is not necessary TO run even the
slightest risk of converting Missouri into a
bank-rijden State, controlled by anti-slavery
corporations in St. Louis.
The Geological Survey Of the State is pro.
} crossing as tavorably and rapidly as the
means at the command Of its able and effic.
, lent Superintendent. Prof. q. c. SWALLOW,
will permit. The results of the labors OF
, the State Geologist and his Assistants, ex-
, hibited in the reports already published
must convince every one that the State is
most amply compensated for the outlay, by
the increase of The wealth of our citizens
, from a more extensive knowledge of our
, great mineral resources. | earnestly re-
commend such an additional appropriation
, as will enable the Survey TO be continued
with efficiency and rapidly.
The Penitentiary continues TO be well
, managed under the present system and
renew my recommendation that the system
Y be maintained.
