ala 10 their families Will entirely Cease.
III other subjects come To my notice
during the session, demanding your ac-
tion, shall communicate them 10 you
without delay. am not unaware, gen
tlemen, that the whole field OF legisa-
tion is open TO you, and that your own
experience and vigilance will doubtless
lead you TO all proper legislation, while
your prudence will prevent all that is
unnecessary.
OUR STATE.
The fundamental law of our State de-
clares, that all men are born equally
free and independent, and have certain
natural, inherent and inalienable rights,
among which are the enjoying and de-
Tending life and liberty, acquiring, pos.
sessing and protecting property, and
pursuing and obtaining happiness and
safety" Our motto is "FRREDoM AND
UNITY Our laws and institutions are
all based on the principles so early
avowed In the face Of the law, we are
all equal; at the ballot box, in our
courts of justice, and in all our institu-
tlons Of learning, our rights are the
same no matter what our color, or what
our race. On this basis of equality we
have lived and prospered. From its eff
fectS we have not felt or feared social
degradation, Our people are intelligent,
frugal, industrious, enterprising, pros
porous and happy and We cannot but
hope that that equality, which has so
blessed us, may, yet, and speedily, be-
come the primary law Of every state in
our Union
close this communication by the ex-
preston Of an earnest hope, that you,
gentlemen, in all your deliberations may
be guided by an earnest desire so to leg
islate that your labors shall tend to in
crease the material interests OF the peo-
pie, and add lustre and honor to our be-
loved State. May the blessing of God
rest upon your labors, and crown them
with happy results.

sgT The October elections grow better
and better, the falling in the aggregate
vote from the last Presidential election
being simply due to the absence of any
special exciting causes.
In Pennsylvania, the total Union ma
jority cannot be less than $4,000.
In Ohio, the Secretary of the Union
State Committee estimates the total ma
,iority Of Cox, the Union candidate for
Governor at $4,000.
In Iowa, Gov. Stone (Union) runs
nearly 5000 behind the rest of the tick
ct (Which is elected by 10000 majority, J
in consequence Of his bold advocacy of
negro suffrage.
In Indiana, where there were only
county elections, the Union men gain in
nearly every county, while in many the
Democrats made no contest at all. The
Lafayette Journal, for instance, says:
"The election yesterday was the fun
NEST thing ever witnessed in Lafayette.
Altogether it was q one-sided matter,
the Democrats having no ticket in the
field. The Republicans voted till they
became tired Of the fun and then stop

ResolatiOas-By Mr.. Jones of Dover
directing the clerk to procure one weekly
newspaper published in the state for
each member.
Mr.. Colby, of Hartland, thought it
was not best to increase the tsxes of the
state for the purposes proposed
daily paper containing legislative re-
ports was all that would be required to
understand the business of the legisla-
ture, and all that members should ask
for.
Mr.. Jones replied that in many towns
of the state no daily mail is received.
Members wish to send legislative re-
ports to their friends and constituents,
and could do so most conveniently
through the weekly newspapers.

luton, the vote being yeas 81, nays II.

JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

Permit me, gentlemen, to call your at
IGNITION to that class Of the rising gener-
alton tlenominated Juvenile offenders.
This class Embraces children of both
sexes, and their number is very sensibly
on the increase. To reform such, while
they are undergoing restraint as pun
ishment, should be our unceasing endea-
vo.. Very few crimes committed by
this class are punished by confinement
IN the state prison, and though confne-
mem there IS somewhat reformatory, yet
Ghe stigma u having been in the state
prison IS almost forever inefaceable.
Far the greater number OF juvenile Of
tenders are, Of necessity, punished by
confinement in the county jails, where
hey are most generally associated with
old and hardened criminals, who at once
devote themselves to teaching those
children the art and mysteries of crime

SALARIES AND TEES.

BY our present law, the States Attor-
nays Of the several counties are salaried
officers. Compensation in this mode is
made more to depend upon the popula-
ton Of tlse sey eral counties than on the
labor done and service rendered to the
State; and ] submit 20 your judgment
whether this mode has not natural
tendency to diminish watchfulness over
the public interest by those officers. As
lar as my own personal observation ex-
tends, am induced to believe that crime
now IS not SO thoroughly ferreted out,
and the criminal SO certainly brought to
trial, conviction and punishment, as
when these officers were paid for what
they did and for nothing more. If this
be the fact, our present law S defective
and unwise.
