To I'm spMAzz AND AsszsG1Lr:-
AZ the close Of another year OF uninterrupted
health, prosperity, abundance ana peace, the fer
vent exprssaion OF our thankiulness is due to Al
5m1ghty God for these signal manifestations OF His
SAvor while in portions Of our sister States do
Istructive pestlencs has, desolated hundreds OF
Aouseholds our own have been merclfulty spared.
Though the friendly relations OF the United States
with European power were for Q time endan-
Sered by an management OF our international
rights. the peril has been happily averted BY
combination Of nrmnessa and TOLERANCE which
always becomes q powerful government; and
there Ii ground for hope that the ancient nation,
which, with less prudent bearing on our part
might now have been at war with Us. may occupy,
on the other side OF tho Atlantic, sustained py our
sympathy and kind onices, the same position
which We hold In the western hemisphere, ~ .
representative Of free Institutions .s~eFrr
It would be q source OF heartfelt eAt1sfactton to
rs n we could say unreservedly that we had re-
sponded to this exemption from domestic and ma
tional evils By more devoted discharge OF our
social duties, q more cheerful submission 70 the
laws, ana more studious mlhlment Of our obliga-
tions to the public and to each other. In AL these
respects Lear q review Of the past win disclose
much which win need your most thougntful deIib-
GRAFTON with view to provide such remedies as
may be within your constitutional powers.
The condition Of the State Ia, nevertheless under
most OF It's aspects, exceedingly gratifying. Our
debt Ii comparatively small; It may, with proper
economy, within few years be entirely paid; and
In that case We shah stand In marked and COM
mendable contrast with other States and munici-
pahties, which are heavily burdened with pecuni-
AIRY liabilities. Our colleges, academies and schools
are nourishins. our charitable INSTITUTIONS in gen.
eral wen managed, our laws enforced with re-
AwSr-~ a. ;sootx
and exemplary punishment Tho reports OF the
ofncers in charge Of the different departments Of
the government win present to You in full the de-
tails, Of which Iproceed to give . summary
