GOVERNOR SUBMITS \ MESSAGE.
Governor Hum today submitted the
following message and opinion Of AT
torncy General Ward to the two Houses:
10 the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatiyes of the State of Delaware i'll
General Assembly met.
have received and herewith trans
nit for your information II communlca'
ton from the attorney general relating
to the suit now pending in the Supreme
Court of the United States, between the
States OF New Jersey and Delaware,
1t is necessary for men to enlarge upon
the Importance of this report. The unan-
unity with which the people Of this
State, through the various General AS
semb;cs and Executives, have always
defended the integrity of the jurisdiction
territory and sovereignty of this State,
in this controversy, constitutes luSt
guide for present action. | cannot bring
myself to believe that the present Sener'
alton of Delawarcnas still when property
adsiscl OH the subject, find themselves
less sensitive and earnest when maintain
ing their rights Of the State than the
generations which have preceded us.
Ii would seem that if the controversy
is ever to be settled finally, it could not
be placed IN position Of greater al.
vantage than to embrace the present
opportunity to have it fO,cver set at
rest by the decision of that tribunal
which, under the Federal Constitution. it
is competent to sit in Judgment between
sovereign States, from personal confer
cnce with the attorney general and
counsel who have here tofore represented
the State in this litigation and from such
investigation Of the case as l have been
able to make. believe that the inter
ests of the State have been carefully
guarded -ip tise, past; and that such ia.
teres.a will bes fully protected in the
ft9ture by such of the existing counsel
fce The .State~as are now living and are
free to act in her behalf together with
the attorney general of the State.
I. therefore, recommend that the Gen.
eral Assembly renew its declaration of
purpose not to abandon the vn1icating
OF its sovereign right and titlc to the
territory which immemorialy has been
conceded to be part of its domain, and
that it shall make such provision for the
further defense thereof against what
must be considered the unfoundrd pre-
tensions of the State of New Jersey as
| will comfort with the honor. dignity and
best interests Of the State.
