Gentlemen of the Senate and of ihr House of Representatives: Since the last annual meeting of the Representatives of the people, our State has continued its rapid advance in wealth and improvement; the current of emigration has never been exceeded; the resources of the Slate are rapidly developing and increasing; the condition of every class of cur industrious citizens is improving, and the numerous evidences that w e see every xvherenround us. of a happy and prosperous" people, call upon us for public and grateful acknowledgements to the Divine Dispenser of the numerous blessings enjoyed by our country. Our Revenue continues to increase in proportion to the ordinary demands upon the Treasury; and although the system in its operation, is not as perfect or equitable as could be desired, or as economical in its assessment and collection as it ought to be, yet it is adequate to our present "scale of expenditure. The receipts during the past year from nil sources, amount (o si 1)0,707,08 and the disbursements to 121,372.23 winch, with the balance nn hainlnf v !
