Although no appropriation has been made ly the

service, lie recommends treaty with the tribes on
our frontier and the payment of annues on the Tex
rs border. instead Of through Arkansas. lie does
not state what tribes are our frontier, u any, or
where they can be found. This policy it seems TO us
would draw back upon border many Of the thlev-
ing tribes that have long ago left it, and revive in
great measure many Of the local disturbances, aud
much of the bitterness of feeling already existing on
the frontier lie recommends the organization of the
militia.

| lie thinks the several departments Of the Govern
ment should he self-sustaning. lie considers the
condition of the General Land Office, and recommends
an additional force to be used in completing the bus
mess already accumulated to a vast amount, lie
considers the Common School System, and is pleased
with its working and recommends to the Legislature
to give aid to institutions of learning throughout the
State. lie considers the establishment Of UNIVERSE
ty n matter alone for the future. The 100000 Ia
ken from the general and applied to the University
fund should be replaced and be subject to appro-
priatOn.
lie considers our present land system, anil
recommends the scctionisirg Of the public domain.
lie dsapprovcs of the policy of extending our from
tier too rapidly and recommends 'base line to lie
run at the extreme edge Of our present settlement
and all ouiside lands withdrawn from location lie
thinks this policy would the insiders from the
deprolations of the Indians, and to all outsiders
on their own heads be, their own misorunes' lie re-
conmends the sale of all lands forfeited to the State
for non payment of taxes, and thinks means
should be adopted to enable Assessors and Collectors
collect proper taxes upon lands owned out of their
respective counties.
lie recommends economy in reference to the public
lands. He thinks the revenue laws should be so
amended to secure the services of competent men
us Collectors and Assessors. His railroad policy is
fashioned pretty much after that of the previous ad
minstration and lie sees but little utility in the of
flee of State Engineer He recommends the continu-
ance of the Geological Survey and the establishment
of an Agricultural Bureau. He recommends change
in the time of holding the Legislature to the 18th
Dec, and his reasons are good.
He discusses the matter of the Public Printing,
but recommends nothing relative thereto, of much
interest.
In regard to the publication Of the laws he recon-
mends that they be published in paper in each
county, or at least one in each judicial district. He
recommends the justice Of prompt payment to Tex
MS of the balance due from the Federal Govern
lnent, and recommends an examination into the af-
fairs of the Penitentary
lie recommends repeal of the law granting pre-
empon privileges for every tire negroes indivd
ual may own. His remarks upon this point
poor appeal to the passions and preudiccs of the
masses, and is but repetition of the miserable cant
used last Summer in attempting to array the non
stakeholder against the Shareholder. Such appeals
are founded upon wrong conception of the state of
public feeling, and contrary to the true interests
and welfare of the State. We dissent in toto from
the sentiments Of the Governor this point, and be-
lieve them calculated to excite and perpetuate the
very worst prejudces amongst mixed population of
Shareholders and on-slaveholders. His remarks up
on Federal matters in evident contradiction to
the facts in the case "The evidences of the deter
minatlon Of the North to abide by the Constitution
