Tho courts are everywhere open for the
trial Of offenders against the law. Tho
executive and judicial officers Of the State
have been at al times ready to take proper
neasures for the removal and punsbment
Of any State OF parish official guilty OF nal

NV but for the fact that the material inter
rats of the State seem to me largely bound
ND in two leading principles which have
been consistently maintained by the party
having control of the affairs OF the
nation. The people owe but little now.
The products of this State, and the
nroducts of other States which make their
way to points of consumption through our
chief city, the entrepot OF the Mlssissippl
valley, can always find good market and
exact payment in gold. All our interests
point to hard money. Our sugar and rice
crops, the latter yearly becoming OF more
and more impor lance, receive the advantage
of q tariff imposed upon the importation OF
these staples from other countries, which
thus directly protects these vital interests
in this State.
In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to
say that 1 rely implicitly upon the solemn
pledge adopted by the General Assembly
during the extra session in April last, to &C
cord to me henceforth "All necessary and
legitimate support in maintaining the laws
and in advancing the peace and prosperity
Of the people of the State, 'and l confidently
look forward to your cooperation during
the coming session in all measures tending
to still further tighten ths burden OF the
people, and to still furtnsF enforce
economy, honesty and efficiency IN al
branches of the pu bile service.
