For the first time in the history Of on
State govsrnment Il becomes the duty o
the acting Executive Of the State. TO sn
nounce the death Of bic predecessor in Of
tfce, before the time for which he wss cleo
ted had expired. On the third day Of Oc
tober. 1860, At ST. Paul, Minnesots, Ashbe
p. Willard departed this life. HE remsin'
we're brought back 10 our State BY his wi
dow, accompanied BY the Governor Of Min.
nesots, the Hon. Henry M. Rice, cns Of her
Senators in Congress, and BY other citizens.
For their kindness in thus attending the
remains Of our deceased Governor to the
Capital Of our State !, desire. for the people
Of the State. 90 we'll @ for myself. to extend
to thsm our heartfelt thanks. This sad oc-
currence has devolved upon me, BY virtue OF
the Constitution Of our State. the duties Of
the Executive Office for the perioi for which
the late Governor Willard wss elected.
During the time that have been acting
% the Executive Of the State, there has been
no question presented TO ms, save one, that
can By any possibility, affect the pscunlsry
interests Of Indiana. Tho scEi.snnual in
tersst on our public debt for eighteen hun.
dred and sixty-one. was maturing without
the means In the State Treasury to meet Il.
There was no mode Of liquidating that in
terest except BY borrowing money. And
believing that the citizens Of Indiana desired
that her obligations should BE- kept, the
Auditor and Treasurer or State, together
with myself, taking % our authority On act
Of the General Assembly prescribing The
duties Of Governor, approved May 27. 1852,
made loan Of one hundred and twenty Eve
dollars from Msssrs. Winslow,
Lanier, e. Co., Of the city Of New York.
giving our obligations TO pay the same In
May next out Of The revenue for the year
1850. It's matter much to bs regretted
that Indiana is in such condition that she
is compelled to 60 into the market 70 Dor
row money far any purpose whatever. But
L 10 due 10 truth to state that this necessity
would not have existed but for the failure Of
lhe Senate Of Indisns to pass I revenue billll
Tor the years 1857 and 1868.
For the action Of the officers OF the State
and for the condition Of the
State Treasury since the last meeting Of the I
Legislature, ! respectfully refer you % the

Now in use irrespective of Price.

Now in use irrespective oil Price.
We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEST a Wilson's Machine.
LIST. It's simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated 10 the needles.
This is great desideratum andin this We claim
a decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to small wheel driven by q larger
one, instead Of TO the long arm of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directness.
Sd. The great power and dircctness of tho
motion enables us TO sew all fabrics, from gauze
to four thickncsses of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thicknesses from n sheet Of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping n stitch or breaking n thread We
know OF no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th. 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, il
will permit the scam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; it has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heayi-
Vsb BuiincHts, ocu-qulltsJ Gci ana IL Will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above.
5th. The Machine will do greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
1t will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBROID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety Of sewing that can be done by
a similar stitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine will make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly as ours.

prices, testlmouials illustrations of stitch, &C.
