day sent i'll Ills message to the Legislature lie takes
encouraging view Of the position of affairs in this
State and gives substantial for lis belief that
no State of the Union is solvent or has farer
prospect Of meeting all her liabilities The aggregate
receipts Of the State Treasury for the six months end

recommends that the donation Of land made by the
United States Government be. devoted to the estab-

have been 50 sadly impoverished and neglected. It

prosperity Of the State and the tranquility of its peo

credit to its enterprises. Recognising with pleasure
these evidences OF returning good feeling, and wish
ing to reciprocate every indication of approach to
friendly relations, would reiterate the recommended
tions of my last message in favor of liberal policy
the part Of the Legislature in reference to the re-
meval Of political disabilities. While upon the SUBJ
jeet of past differences would take occasion to
express the hope that national politics will occupy
hereafter much less prominent position in the at4irs
of the State and in the minds of the people than here
toorc, political issues having been determined for
years to come, at least there is but little prepriety in
keeping up political agitation
