S1.OOA YEAR
Governor Olden's Message.

The Annual Message of the Cover
nor was delivered TO the Senate on
Tuesdey Of last week. Owing to the
large space we devote to the exciting
news from the South, we have been
unable to publish the message in full,
but we subjoin synopsis of its con-
tents.
1t shows that our State debt is in
creasing Notwithstanding the income
of the State is increasing 1t is near
ly double the amount limited in the
Constitution. The Governor recon-
mends the reduction of the debt, either
by selling some of the securities of the
State, or by direct tax He recon.
mends the suggestion of his predeees-
sor that the several counties should
pay the costs incurred by the State
in criminal prosecutions also retrench-
ment in the public printing and cleri
cal services for the Legislature He
thinks some $25, or $4,000 can be
saved in a year by these reforms.
He recommends revision of the
School laws, and more moral culture
in the schools. He recommends the
State Agricultural Society to the fos-
tering care of the Legislature he en-
courages State Military organiza-
lion, and recommends the building of
another State Prison in the Eastern
part of the State; also new fire
proof building for the State Library.
He shows by statistics of the prison
that crime is increasing IN our State
in a greater ratio than population
This is probably true, but it is also
true that there are more pains taken
to procure indictments, and more cer-
tainty ofconvicting those indicted than
was formerly the case, and this ex-
plains in some measure, the dispropor-
tionate increase alluded to.
On the subject Of secession, the
Governor is mild and conservative.
He advises a revision of our laws on
the. subject of fugitive slaves and re-
fers the whole question of slavery in
the Territories to Congress. He
hopes the Committees of Congress will
agree on measures of Compromise, and
in case they should not, he recon-
mends the Legislature to pass resolu-
tions inviting all the States to appoint
11eligates to National Convention to
agree upon terms by which the Union
may be saved
On this subject, the message is kind
and conciliatory in tone and spirit,
and we doubt not will meet the ap-
probation of the conservative and pat
riotic masses of all parties. Some of
bis constituents will perhaps regret
that he did not vindicate with more
emphasis the majesty of the Constitu-
ted authorities of the Nation at this
time, when 30 many are disloyal to the
General Government, and when, as he
admits. the anarchy cf secession is in
the land. 1t would be impossible even
for Gov. Olden to please all classes of
people in treating upon a subjectnpop
which there are SO many shades of
opinion, and it is not to be expected
that all will acquiesce In the measures
he proposes.

A PATRIOTIC PRAYER. The vener-
able Chaplain of the house, the Rev.
Mr.. Stockton, of Philadelphia, is

are traitors in the land, who want to
destroy this glorious Union" tle Dis

and for a moment they seemed to be
