States will be pleaded in excuse and iusti6cation
OF such measure. Undoubtedly the Legislature
ought 70 provide some measure suited to the extra
ofdihaFy condition OF things now existing, and
especially oughs you TO interpose between rama
cious creditors and those who having the dispnsi
slon s to pay, are deprived of the ability by our
ananclal condition But great caution should be
exercised In making such provision. A blow dealt
az public credit any act BY which doubt or suspi-
cion could attach to the honor and poYted faifb
oi tae state not only ia performing her own obli-
performance Of theirs, Is, in nav iudament tf,s
greatest calamity that cozd befaii u.s. There il a
manifest propriety and necessity in not interferine

Judgment 50 as to enable the plaintiff to have the
benefit of the security which the RECORDING will
afford. Then yon should interposs and proh;tif
the 1ssafng of any execution, OF indeed Of an
executory process, the effect of which would be a
compulsory and ruinous sale of property, and
especially ought those who are now in military
service be protected from the harsssiHg fears Of
such results. ~ a@
invite your attention to the subject Of Public
Printing, the expenses of which ought to be re-
duced at least one-haIf. The same documents are
now printed in three or four different FORMS the
cost OF which, even at reasonable rates Of eorpen-
satlon to the Printer, will be enormous. By dmin-
with whatever is unnecessary, reduction Of
twenty-five thousand dollars can be made without
injury to the public interests. In my Judgment it
ought unhesltatlngly to be made.
respectfully suggest to you that legislation at
this time should be confined as far as practicable
to those matters which appertain to present eyi-
geneies, and to provision for those unavoidable
necessities of the immediate future which our
military status requires. t s'S11'9
he: gallant promptitude of our people eaabled
| me 70 make ready response to the calls Of the
Confederate Government for volunteers By reason
OF the seizure Of the arsenal early in the year
supply Of arms was at hand, and through the leans
enec1ed, Twas enabled to send the whole Of our
troops INTO service fully equipped. With no Mill
tary OF militia organization, with no organised
aeparlment ready 70 systsmatize and regulate the
complicated machinery Of war establishment,
mad to undertake the difficult task Of giving
efficiency to the military force. NV heart eyuiteds
with pride when heard OF the regiments of Iotis
lana extorting praises from their of
other States for their good discipline, their com
plete and comfortable equipments, and for the
CELEBRITY with which they repaired in quick success
sion to the field where an insolent foe were soon
to feel the weight of freemens blows dealt in the
sacred cause of independence. If anything were
needed to vindicate the cause we are now uphold
ing, and which, with the help of Cod we will con.
tinue to uphold so long as freeman's heart shall
beat, it has been furnished in the career Of nm
mixed despotism upon which the Government of
the United States have entered. Between people
SO radically different as the subjects of that Gov
ernment and the citizens of ours, no harmony of
political action can ever again be established.
They have forced upon US war which we have
accepted only because we could not secure our
independence, and enjoy the right of selfgoverIl.
ment without it. and we will continue to fight for
that sacred right with firm reliance on the God
of our fathers that with His blessing and our own
strong hands we will secure the blessings OF
liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
