My Dear Sir:-Since you spoke TO me yes

OUR FINANCIAL SITUATION.

We hope that the members of the pres
ent Congress will prove themselves equal
to the discharge of the important duties
which rest upon them. 1t is apparent to
all friends of the Union that the financial
situation of the country demands the first
and chief attention. The negro question
is of secondary consideration as compared
with the question Of our finances, because
the question of slavery will take care of
itse {, while the finances will not. We
must establish the national credit upon n
firm basis. Nothing but direct taxation
will do it. England has been compelled
to resort to this expedent, and with an
enormous debt, such an one as twenty
years of rebellion in this country would
compel us to incur. Her credit is kept
good by direct taxation. We must do the
same. No Congress was ever called upon
TO exercise its wisdom and sagacity as the
present one is. Our national finances
must be placed upon. "a good and safe foot.
ing, or we are swamped irretrievably.-
We hope to learn that our Representative
have awakened TO an apprehension of the
very responsible duties resting upon them

Iii they should in their zeal violate that
neutrality established by Congress or do
any acts inconsistent with the treaty re-
lations existing between the United States
and Great Britain. Ills Proclamation
met with almost universal cenSure and
condemnation from the entire press and
people of the State, but the Governor "rc-
lying upon thu intelligence and candor of
the people, and conscious Of the purity OF

was prepared to sustain his views, when
the returning reason of the people pre-
vented the resort to Interior measureS,-
10 the Grmnes5, ability and integrity OF

in great measure indebted, for the pres
ervation of friendly relations between this

of or laws since 1897 was made, The
State House at Montpelier was completed
and a general banking law was enacted.
Ia his message TO the General Assem-
bly, in 1910 he declined a reelection and
assigned as his reason that he had always
esteemed ''that distinguishing feature in
democratic governments. rotation in office,
one of the most efficient safeguards of the
purity of our free institutions"

powers, or extreme caution, he never en-
gagged in public debate. If he posse ssed
little of the brilliancy of genius, he had
what is no less valuable,-great prudence,
a correct, though not highly cultivated
taste, and, what contributed most to his
advancement in public life, facility and ac-
curacy in the transaction of business, and
general knowledge of matters pertaining
to civil government, and its administra-
ton"
Governor Jenison, after protracted ILL
ness, died at his residence in his native
town on the 3Oth day of September 1S49
in the 54th year of his age.
