GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Fellow Citizens of the General
Assembly
In accordance with the constitu
ton, you have assembled for the
purpose of eDacting Jaws for the
protection Of society and to pro
mote the best interests of the State.
The people have imposed upon you,
their representatives, grave re-
sponsibility, and they justly look to
you for wise, iudicious and patriotic
legislation in return for thoir gener-
Gus confidence. | trust they will
not be disappointed.
l congratulate you that Ohio,
during the past year, has been eX-
empt from the curse Of war, violence,
pestilence and famine that our
citizens, unmolested and uninter-
rupted, in health and happiness,
have been permitted to pursue the
ayocatious of civil life, while the
earth has yielded abundant hsrvests,
and all the departments of business
have for the most part prospered.
1t is to be regretted, however, that
within the last three months, capital
and labor haze been embarrassed and
distressed; that workmen have been
thrown OF, uf employment, and that
those who have abundant means,
are, for the time, p0werless to help
them. 1t is difficult to account,
satisfactorily, for the widespread
financial trouble which now as
sails the entire country. Onr
agricultural, manufacturing and
mining industries have been unusu-
ally prosperous during the past
twelve months, and the close of the
year has aggregated fair returns &c
investments in business enterprises
of every description. Our com
merce is once more assuming i'm
portance on sea, and our exports are
approximating more nearly in value
to the imports than at any time since
the late war; and yet we are in the
midst Of financial, crisis, approach.
ing almost to panic. 1t is believed
that the explanation to this state OF
things is to be found in the vicious
system ofspeculation, which, hazard
Gus in its ventures and reckless Of
consequences, employs capital moi
its own in questionable aad worth
less schemes, CANDLES in corners
made by the stock jobbers, and seeks
its profit in the distress and ruin oi
honest men. The gamblers control
largely the money market; they ad
vance or lower the price Of gold and
of stocks to suit their own purposes
they do not shrink from risks, be
cause they employ the means OF
other men; they have no dread Of
debts, because they never expect to
pay them. The whole system Of
wild speculation on borrowed capital
is pernicious in its influence and dis
asterous in its effects. 1t induces
dishonesty and promotes extrava-
CANT habits. It ought to be dis
couraged and SIS far as possible
prohibited.
But whatever may be the cause OF
the present financial pressure, it is
certain that it exists; and it is an
important part of our duty, gentle
men of the General Assembly, by
strictest economy in all our expendi-
lures, authorized by you, to relieve,
so far as you may be able, the burd-
ems of the people.
The following is a brief summary
of the present financial condition OF
the State:
