GOVERNOR GOODWIN MESSAGE.

The Governor Of New. Hampshire is ableto congratu-
late tie legislature OH the very small public debt of
the State. 1t now amounts to $723SG, having been
reduced the last year 81 ZOO also upon the flourish
ng condition OF the public schools, and upon the great
improvements mado within fev years past in agri-
culture. But though much has been done and is
done in this behalf by the agricultural societies,
there il ample room for further advancement and as
a means toward it, the Governor refers with much
satisfaction to plan in progress to establish all agr
cultural department in Dartmouth College.
New Hampshire has also derived great benefit from
tie manufacturing establishments set up within her
borders-in which is invested capital Of sixteen nil
lions Of dollars by means Of which towns and cities
have been built up where, few years since, there
were no Inhabitants. This business is recovering
from its late depression, but still needs not only the
fostering hand Of the State but increased protection
from the General Government
The expenses If the counties have risen 10 such an
moun to make proper searching inquiry into the
causes large part Of these expenses consists in relief
afforded to paupers for whose support no particular
town is liabc-rcef given in the first instance by the
towns but rembursable by the counties. This system,
it is thought, may lead 10 less economy than might
otherwise be exercised and the Governor suggests the
inquiry whether county poor-houscs might not be al
vantageously established.
Litigation to be on the decrease in New
Hampshirc. The business of the Courts is much
diminished that it might be well to inquire if come OF
the terms might not be discontinued without any
detrmcl 70 the administration Of justice.
The banking system of this State is in sound aud
satisfactory condition. The banking capital il five
millions; the circulation three millions; the specie
and specie funds upward of eleven hundred thousand
the greater part deposit at Boston and New-York
ioI the redemption Of the notes which accumulate
there. The Governor opposes the grant of new bank
charters, except in cases where there is local de-
mand for banking privileges to stockholders who
wish to trust and not to borrow, and with special care
that the charters thus granted not turned over to
those who would abuse them. The Savings Banks hold
in trust about four millions Of dollars. The Fire Insur
ance Companies inc )porated by the State have out
standing III ks to the amount of thrty-nne millions OF
dollars. Adding the amount Of insurance in foreign
companies, the aggregate Of insurance in the State
agaiIs. fire is estimated by the Governor at sixty
millions. This piece Of prudence mus. be very COM
mon-indeed almost universal-since the total valu
alton Of the State amounts only TO II hundred and
twenty millions.
There are in the State seven hundred miles Of rail-
road built at expense Of twenty millions OF dollars
But pant of the investment IL uDproductVe, anu
considerable part total loss. Still, these roads have
been and are Of great benefit to the State, and the
Governor suggests that the ncn-psying roads are
entitled to some discrimination in their favor in the
matter Of taxation.
The Insane Asylum supports itself, as does also the
State Prison. The House OF Reformation for Jnve-
nile and female offenders promises to fulfill the OBJ
iects Of it's establishment. Though the law against
the sale of intoxicating quors does not in its opera
ton satisfy all the wishes OF the friends of temper
ance yet it is great aid to their efforts and oug ht
not To be disturbed. The law against hawkers and
peddlers is in some points too stringent and needs
modification.
New-Hampshire is for Union, but also for State
Rch.s. She considers it part Of her duty in both
respects to prevent the spread of the curse Of Slavery
into Territories now free. She earnestly desires 10
see the national coors ascendant in the general
administration, governed by the broad aud truly
patriotic policy of former times.
