Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives, and Felloic Citizens: The People of Indiana, in adopting their present Constitution, expressed their gratitude to Almighty God for the free exercise of the right to choose their own form of Government, in order to establish jus tiee, maintain public order and perpetuate the principles of civil and religious liberty. For the present enjoyment of these inesti mable rights and privileges for the bles sings of peace and order within our borders for bountiful crops and for general health and prosperity throughout the year which has just closed, our most heartfelt thanks and gratitude,, individually, and collectively as a people, are due to the same Almighty, Allwise, and beneficent Being. I feel the strongest degree of confidence, Senators and Representatives in the belief that you will, in the exercise of those high and important legislative powers with which you are invested by the Constitution, be constantly governed by strong motives impelling you to adopt wise measures fnr the advancement and maintenance of the true interests of tbo people of Indiana and also by a patriotic desire to prevent or allay all unnecessary and injurious local political excitement, and to promote and secure as far as possi ble the general prosperity, safety and honor of our beloved State.

The annual reports of the several state officers for the fiscal years ending in 1859 and 1860 have been laid before both branches of the Legislature, and these documents present an official exposition of the business and operations of the various departments of the state government.— They are worthy of and will doubtless re ceive, your most careful examination and consideration, in order that the proper leg islative remedies may be applied for the removal of any defects that may be found to exist, either in the law's relating to these departments or in the administration of those laws. Entertaining as I do the strongest confidence in the honesty and capacity of the recently elected Treasurer of State and without intending to cast any reflection upon the official conduct of any of his predecessors in office, still I deem it proper at this time to recommend to you such changes in the law regarding the Treasurer's office as will most effectually prevent any mis-appropriation of the public funds, or their use for any purpose of private speculation or gain, and which shall insure the availability and safety of money in the public treasury at all times. Changes calculated to effect these desirable and important objects will receive my most cordial approbation and support.

Our Common School System, from its importance, demands and will doubtlesss rcceivo your careful consideration. It is believed that such a modification of the

system more useful and less burthensome iu you* Aflfnrtc io secure these objects you may rely upon roy cooperation. -V .?

From the report of the Auditor of Public Accounts it appears that the total receipts from all sources for the fiscal year ending the 31st of October, IS60, amounted to $1,658,217,87. Tho total expenditures during the same period were $1,621,108 48 leaving in the Treasury at the close of the fiscal year an actual balance of $134,660 39. From the same report it appears that the domestic debt of the State on the 31st of October amounted to 2,008,993,59, aud the foreign debt to $7,ss" by 50. By a careful revision of all the laws which relate to the mode of conducting financial affairs of the State, aud by the application of the most rigid economy to all the various departments of the

State Administration, the present Legislature will, it is confidently believed, be enabled to provide ways and means less onerous and more effectual than those which have heretofore been in operation for the gradual reduction and final extinction of our State debt. In the administration of every department of the State Government tho strictest economy that can be introduced, consistently with a steady maintenance of the public interest, will be in accordance with the wishes and just expectations of the People of Indiana and in all your efforts to make provisions for a faithful and economical administration of

the State Government, you will have my

ing S rigid inquiry, by a joint Committee of the Senato and House of Representatives, into the past management, and present condition of the various benevolent Institutions of the State, and also of our State Prisons and if extravagance and mis-management are found to exist in the administration of either or all of those Institutions, to take such steps as shall in future prevent a recurrence of such abuses. The honor and interests of the citizens of the State of Indiana alike demand a thorough investigation in reference to the manner in the Swamp Lands given to the State by the Congress of the United States have been disposed of.

The importance of a well organized and thoroughly drilled Militia, in the present critical condition of our National affairs, cannot be overestimated and I will most heartily concur with you in any measures which you may devise for the purpose of giving greater efficienoy to the present very defective Militia laws of our State.— A possible (I hope not a probable) contingency may arise during the present session of the Legislature, which will make it necessary and proper for you to appropriate a sum sufficient to equip a portion of the Indiana Militia for the purpose of aiding in the prompt cxccution of the laws, aud in the maintenance of the government If this contingency shall occur during vour session I doubt not that you will meet "it in a spirit becoming freemen and patriots.

The present laws in relation to the mode of conducting elections are not sufficent to protect the purity of the ballotbox, nor to prevent frauds upon the inestimable privilege of the elective franchise and I therefore recommend such a revision and change of the election laws as will effectually accomplish these objects.

Within the last few months, gentlemen I of the Senato and Houso

tives, we have been compelled to be unwilling witnesses of the rapid progress of certain events which have seriously threatened the integrity of the Constitution and disturbed the harmony of the Union. In a few of the southern States a treasonable conspiracy, originated by pestilent demagues, has been allowed to grow and spread unpunished and even unrebuked, until, overratting its own strength and vastly underrating the patriotism of the people, it assumed form and boldness immediately after the late Presidential election, and now declares its objects to be the dismemberment of the United States and the founding of a Southern Confederacy of seceding States. To those who have carefully observed the rise and progress of this scheme of treason, it is evident that no compromises or concessions, which the people of the United States ought to make in order to preserve the peace of the country, would be sufficient to satisfy the disunionists of South Carolina and I regret to say that it seems to be almost certain that the people of a few of the Southern States are inclined, if riot determined, to resist Tiy armed force, any attempt to hold South Carolina, or any other seceding State, in the Union, by means of the military and naval forces of the United States. But, notwithstanding the extraordinary and treasonable proceedings, and partial, success of a large class of disunionists, I do not at present believe it will become necessary to use any cons derable part of the military power of the National Government, in order to punish overt acts of treason in any part of the Union. Every citizen of the Union is under an obligation to defend the country, and its constitution and laws, against the attacks of foreign enemies and the assaults of domestic traitors and if ever a majority of the people of the United States shall deliberately repudiate this patriotic obligation, and shall wilfully and submissively permit treason to walk abroad in our fair laud, defy our constitution and laws, and assail our National Government, then our onee magnificent, powerful and fraternal Union, will sink into a state of hopeless anarchy and decay, and thus expose to the nations ol' the earth a chaotic mass of mighty ruins, upon which the friends of free popular government, throughout the world, inay look with sorrow and despair.

My faith in the power of American patriotism compels me to hope that a majority of the citizens of those States in which the greatest amount of angry excitement now prevails, will be found in the hour of trial, ready to support and defend the constitutional authorities of the .government of the United States, to baffle and defeat all tho mad schemes of traitors arid disunists, to reestablish in their respective

rr, triumphs and partv creeds, all local laws .CX.'St and false political "theories. The liberty

ing iu the Southern portion of the United States, has been caused by the disingenu-

and dishonest chargcs'of unscrupulous

love which the patriot only bestows upon his country. Our Southern brethren have been taught to believe that the party lately triumphant in the Presidential election meditate an attack upon their domestic institutions and a violation of their constitutional rights. The history of that great party shows the utter groundlessness of these charges. A remote cause of the

These doctrines were temporarily crushed out by the firmness and patriotism of President Jackson, and by the almost universal disposition shown in all parts of the country to support him in the execution of the laws, and in the preservation of the Union.— But, in an evil hour for the Republic, under a weak and wicked administration of the General Government, similar doctrines have again found utterance and support.— But the immediate caune of the present crisis was the ropeal of the Missouri Compromise. That act of bad faith and worse statesmanship, that sin against the cause of freedom and the cause of peace, raised the slorm which now threatens to destroy the freest, grandest government upon earth. Another causo which has contributed largely to the present state of things in the South is this Appeals are made by speeches and papers sent from the North( and freely circulatcd in the Southern

does or can exist. If ^eceasion in South Carolina be treason, and no one doubts but that it is, to aid and abet secession in other parts of the Republic is no less treason. If the South hasher peculiar grievances, the North also has many just causes of complaint. Many of her citizens have been deprived of property, liberty and life without evidenco, without trial, without crime. Mob violenee has perpetrated such outrages upon American citizens as would lead inevitably to a state of war if committed by the subjects of a foreign power. If permanent peace is to be restored to our unhappy and distracted country, it must be done by the removal of all real causes of offense North or South:

The doctrine of secession, peaceable or forcible, now, or at any other time, is a dangerous heresy fraught with all the terrible consequences of civil-war and bloodshed, and leading directly to the utter ruin of all our free institutions. This heresy has not yet poisoned the public sentiment of Indiana, and may God in his kind providence but afar off the evil day which shall witness its prevalence amongst us. I most sincerely believe, and am proud to declare, that the people of Indiana of all parties are true to the Constitution, and loyal to the Union and that they will always be in the future as they have shown themselves to have been in the past, willing to yield a ready and cheerful obedience to all the

requirements of the Constitution and laws Sooner or later both parties will become of the United States, and to maintain and uphold at all times, under all circumstances, and at every hazard, the glorious form of free government under- which we live. Tho people of our noble State, with very few excemtions, are, I think, resolved to support the President of the United States in the free exercise of all his constitutional powers, with the manliness and courage worthy of a free people. The people of Indiana fully appreciate the importance of the Union, and all the blessings which it confers upon us as a Nation. They do not believe that secession or nulification can furnish a remedy for any practical evil, present, past, or to come they are resolved to transmit to the coming ages undiminished the rich inheritance of freedom, civilization and glon-, bought for us by the blood of the Fathers. The light of no single star which blazes on our national flag shall ever be dimmed by the unconstitutional action of either the people or Legislature of our noble commonwealth.

A voluntary and prompt repeal of all State legislation, (either by Northen or Southern States,) contrary to the letter or spirit of the Constitution and intended to defeat the execution of any of the laws of Congress, would be a peace-offering worthy of a great intelligent and free people, and would bo hailed with joy by every patriot

The novel alarming, and treasonable assumption that any State in the Union has a right under the Federal Constitution to secede at pleasure, is a doctrine unknown to the Constitution, at war with the principles on which our government was established, and destructive of those high and sacred objects sought to be accomplished by the Confederation. If the anti-Democratic and anti-Republican position now assumed by a large party at the South be true, "that the result of a Presidential election, legally and constitutionally conducted in all respects, is to be held a good reason for a dissolution of the Union," then the Union can only be preserved by abase surrender of the right of the majority to rule, and by striking down that liberty and equality which the Constitution was ordained and established to guarantee and perpetuate.

ELEGANT EXTRACT FBOiU TOE ItHtc Speech of Sen tutor Deoglaa iu the ni tedS ta lea,Srnatr—He Oppoars Coercion.

We make the following interesting extract from the late speech of Senator Douglas in the Senate of the United States:

He argued against making war Dgainst 10,000,000 people. He saw there was an eternal separation, but he would not consider war till all hopes was passed. There is no other way or recourse left to enforce the law in a seceding State, except to make war and bring the State within your possessiou first, and then enforce the law afterward. A war between eighteen

States

on the one side, and'fifteen seceding States on the other, is to me a revolting thing.— For what purpose is the war to be waged? Certainly not for the purpose of preserving the Union. ,1 have too much respect for gentlemen on the other side of the chamber, collectively and individually, to believe there is one among them who does not know what war is. You can not expect to exterminate ten millions of people, whose passions are excited with the belief that you mean to invade their homos and and light the flames of insurrection in their midst. You must expect to exterminate them or subjugate them, or else, when you have got tired of war, to make a treaty with them. No matter whether the war lasts one year, or seven years, or thirty years, it must have an end at some time.—

tired and exhausted, and-when rendered incapable of fighting any longer, they will make a treaty of peace, and that treaty will be of separation. The history of the world doc3 not furnish an example of a

war of sections, or between States of "the

same nation, where the war ended in re- ),n ,°

treaty of peace, and a final external separation. I don't understand, then, how a man can claim to be a friend of the Union, and yet be in favor of a war upon ten mil Ions of people in the Union. You can not cover it up much longer uuder the pretex of love for the Union. Now, the question must be met, and whatever concessions I am called upon to make, I choose to make voluntarily, before blood is shed, and not afterward. No man has more pride of country than I. It humbles my pride to see the authority of the Government questioned, but we are not the first nation whose pride has been humbled. Republics, empires and kingdoms, alike, in all age^, have been subject to the same humiliating fact. Lut where there is a deep-sealed discontent providing teu millions of people, penetrating every man, woman and child, and involving every thing dear to them, it is time for inquiring whether thcro is not some cause fur the feeling. If there be just cause for it, iu God's name let us remove it.— Are we not crimnal in the sight of Heaven and posterity, if we do not remove the misconception. Arc you so elated with the pride of your reccnt triumph, or pride of opinion, that you can not remove an unfounded apprehension, when it is rushing ten millious of people into disunion and breaking up the Government of our fathers, and leaving us hitherto a proud republic on earth to become a by-word among the nations?

I still entertain the hope that this question may be adjusted, although the indications are that blood will be shed and war

Old men, who had long since resigned their places, for younger and gallant hearts have again organized,and are volunteering their services to tho State. About seventy from that old and favorite cordis, the Irish voluutccrs, met together on Monday evening last, and after some preliminary business, formed themselves into a company under the name of the Hibernian Guard.

The Zouave Cadets numbering fifty men rank and file, armed with Minie rifles and accouttered for regular campaign, were received into the service of the State on New Year's day, and under command of Lieutenaut Chichester, were dispatched to Morris' Island. The corps, comprises a very fine set of young men, who have been under anxious drill for several months.
