advanced by various banks on the request Of
my predecessor, in the full faith that you
would legalze the transaction and assume
payment of whatever is due. l take it for
granted that there will be no hesitation in
adopting this course. The action of my pre-
decessor was doubtless in accordance with the
wishes of a very large majority of our people;
it was dictated by the highest patriotism, and
it was done when the exigency was so pressing
that ii was deemed impracticabe to assemble
the Legislature for seasonable cooperation
in procuring loan. The total sum thus ne
gotiated, with the interest accrued, amounts
to some $4,000, and the details of its expen-
diture will be fully exhibited in the Report of
the Adjutant General. l respectfully urge
that you provide promptly for its payment.
A further use of the State credit will be
called for in carrying out the provisions of"an
act in aid of the families of volunteers, passed
by the last Legislature. The act contemplates
the assumption by the State, within certain
prescribed limits, of whatever expenditures
towns may make to aid the families OF those
in the ranks of the Union armn. Its object is
Just and benelicent, and its effect has been very
marked in inducing men to enlist who would
have been 10th to 90 had they not, seen this
provision made for their support. In this view,
the act constitutes species OF contractor the
part of the State with the soldiers, and We thus
stand pledged TO its faithful observance. Its
