OF GOV. ANDREW.

RosToN, Jan. 8.-Tbe annual message of
Cor. Andrew .wns delivered to-day. It IS
very lengthy and comprehensive.
The receipts into the State treasury for the
rear were 81, go Se3 and the payments in the
snme time were so, 728,597.
The establishment Of military academy
under the patronage Of the commonwealth,
is urged.
The total number of men furnished to the
land service by Massachusetts previous to
October, 1868, was 75,608. Gov. Andrew
argues at length in fayor Of recruiting our
wasted regiments in the field. The Governor
volunteers for our armies, and other commu-
mites can afford to pay them to come, but
cannot afford to spare their own men from.
their own industry, the simplest political
economy teaches the wastefulness Of refusing
to allow these balances to be adjusted by the
law Of supply and demand.
Goy. Andrew closes as follows: ttThe
great Proclamation Of Liberty will lift the
ruler who uttered It, our nation and our uge
above NIL vulgar dcstiny.n
The bell which rung out the declaration OF
Independence has found voice at last artic-
u1ate to proclaim throughout all the land,
and to all the Inhabitants thereof. It has
been heard across oceans, and has modified
the sentiments of Cabinets and Kings. The
people OF the old world 1ayc heard it-their
hearts stop to catch the last whisper OF its
echoes. The poor slave has heard it, and

Nine full regiments have gone into camp
under the last call. Two more regiments are
nearly full. Recruits for the old regiments
arc pouring in By hundreds. There are more
soldiers than citizens in the streets. Every

them to the front.

The quota of Indiana under the last call
was 19, 900. this was reduced by enlistments

BALTIMORE, Jan. 8.-GoyeInor Bradford's
message was transmitted to the Legislature
to-day. He says the finances Of the State are
in q prosperous condition. He says, In refer
cnce to the question Of emancipation: II be-
l!eve to-day, US have done for years, that II
we had long ago provided for the gradual
emancipation Of the slaves Of the 6tate, We
should now be, as regards all national ele-
mcnts Of public prosperity, In advance Of our
present position. The products Of our State
aud It's natural resources are not such as arc
adapted to, or can be developed by, slave H.
bor. I nm satisfied that the people Of the
Statc, in their moments Of calm and delibe-
rate reflection. long since came to the same
conclusion. When con5piring leaders At the
South lifted their hands against the Union
and pointed to slavery as the institution npon
which their visionary Republic was to rest,
they struck blow at Its very yitals In every
border State In which 1t has continued to
languish, and which must inevitably result In
its ultimate destruction It becomes us,
therefore, to whom the whole question right
fully belongs, to take immediate measures
for it's removal, which should be no longer
delayed than may be required By proper re-
spect to those industrial pursuits with which
that institution has been so long and SO init
mately interviewer, and humane regard for
the slave himself, which forbids us to east
him, unprepared for so great change, too
suddenly upon his feeble resources"
