Gentlemen Of the Senate and House
o. Representatives: In assuming the
duties Of the Office 10 which I have
bsen chosen, I invoke Gods blessing
upon our people and state. Il is primary
among our obligations % zee that every
duty which the state owes to tho United
States Is faithfully discharged, and thst
the rights lad powers Of the state are
maintained and upheld. Between the
rightfu! authority Of the state and the
powers o. the United States there should
b NO conflict, and il they b asserted
and sxsrcissd IN The spirit Of ths con-
stitution and with . proper appreciation,
OF their relations, there will b none un-
der the constitution. Each state, and
the United States, arc 20 related that
the support Of one 10 fidelity to both,
and ho.til;ty toward either is hostility to
10th. The exercise Of unwarraDted au-
thority by either provokes collision, and
is . public wrong. The federal power
has become % great, tho area Of it's
operations 90 extended, and the allure
ments to it's service 20 seductive, that
cur most watchful care is necessary to
preserve the proper dignity and jus. in
fluences Of the stats, that il should at
tract attention and excite sesio0sconseeo.
When local troubles and eentrovsrsies,
growing out Of matters wholly Of state
concern, are made the lpsstsxt for the
interpositioa Of federal authority and
the menace Of national arms, surely you
will agree with me that Indiana Is SO
great . commonwealth, and her people
are 80 entirely capable Of self govern.

and to maintain the NEST SINGER

Of every duty, and the exercise Of
