state on that fund, Upwards of forty thousand dollars, and the law provides for a dividend and expenditure of the residue of the sum appropriated as it may accumulate. It is well worthy of inquiry, whether the large expenditures that already have been made have answered the expectations of the public? Whether larger sums have not been paid to numerous commissioners for services that could as well have been renJered by one third of the number employed, and at little more than one third of the expense? Whether a number of the roads opened under the provisions of the law, are not entirely useless to the public, and even suffered to become altogether impassable by a second growth, and neglect to keep them in repair? Whether the whole of the fund can he appropriated for an indefinite period, exclusively to roads when canals are embraced in the compact? If you should think it expedient to continue the law in force any longer, it is respectfully submitted to yourconFidcration, whether it would not render the fund more effective, to reduce the number of commissioners, and change the provisions of the law, so as to prohibit a divisio n of the fund amongst the several commissioners until a certain amount had accumulated; and to extend the scale of appropriation to other sections of the state which have been settled since the passage of the law? In obedience to the resolution of the last G,eneral Assembly inviting General Lafayette to visit this state, and requesting the Executive and citizens to "receive him with the honors due to the illustrious Guest of the State and Nation,"' I proceeded, in conjunction with many of our distinguished citizens, to the town of Jcffersonviile, where he was "welcomed to our soil in such a manner as was thought most consistent with the character and circumstances of the state. The resolution authorized the governor to draw
on the contingent fund for the payment of
the expenses incurred; and the committee of arrangements have reported to me that the whole expense amounted to the sum contained in the accounts and vouchers, which are herewith respectfully submitted for your inspection. This reception of the "filial disciple of Washington,' and friend of America and rational liberty thoughout the world, was, it is hoped, congenial to the wishes and feelings of the General Assembly, and under the joint counsel of many who stand high in public esteem, was conducted with an eye to economy and a decent respect for the character of the state. If it were the object of tiie resolution to maintain the honor of the government, and barely make a public acknowledgment of our gratitude to a national, benefactor, 'with true and genuine republican simplicity, that end has been accomplished. That 1 had the honor, in conjunction with so many of my fellow citizens, to greet the presence of this illustrious veteran in the cause of liberty and our country, and to express to him our unalterable sentiments of gratitude and admiration, will ever be a source of the most grateful recollection. CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.

been unusually cold; the Ohio, being very low, has been frezen over in a number of places. A rise of the river is very much wished for by our trading citizens, to carry to market the produce on hand ready for exportation.
