and while crar Credit ft iut% »uch to l-nn^mand anj amount o( capita!, at an inUiestof five per cent, or less', no good rsasoocan be nwigoed why we phould longer hesitate to follow the successful exampies of other State*. New York, Pennnjlvania, and Ohio had, at the commencement of their work*. which Wive enriched their citizens* and done honor to the sagacity and enterjrizeof their projectors, but little more means or resources than their public credit, which enabled I hem to obtain in the money market, *uch sums as they needed: The money thus procured, in th« firs', instance, immediately benefited the people, by being thrown into circulation in payment for labor, material* and subfwtence,andso soon as the woiks were completed, the people and the Slates were repaid many fold,by the increased demands and higher prices for their produce by the activity imparted to every branch of industry, and by the enhancement of the landed property of the country. The additional value alone of the lands in Hie district, of xountry intersected by the Miami Canal in Ohio, f.ir exceeds the cost of the construction. The actual wealth of a State or nation, docs not consist of the sums hoarded in the treasury,but in the wealth of the citizens, and their ability to pay whenever hc exigencies ol the Government make contributions necessary. The treasury of 9 well managed Government, is the pockets of the people,in which something should be placed by wise legislation, before much is required. To borrow money at a fair rate of interest, and expend it on some well selected objccls ol paramount public utility, will not cinbaras* the Government or impoverish the people, but on the contr.iryf will enrich both. If the interest is annually raised by taxation, the ability of the people to pay these tax*s is projxyiir.unlly increased, because the prim ipal of the is expended among them. Hy this firo*##*, Hit* capital which has accumulated in the commercial cities, it transferee to the wc!t, where it is needed, and thrown into circulation, affording means to enterprize, and stimulating to activity every department of industry. This is not mere tpeculation it is theory based upon reason and abuindantly verified by facts and experience.

With a view of engaging in works of Internal Improvement, the propriety of adopting something like a generul plan or •yslem, having reference to theseveral portions of the 8tate, and the connexion of one with another, naturally suggests itself. No work should be commenced but such as would be of acknowledged public utility, and when completed, would form a branch of soma general system. In this May only, can any permanent public advantage be realized, the people generally foeaeiited by the expenditure, and the imputation of partial or local legislation be *ivoided. In view of this object, the policy of organizing a board of public works, I* wgatn respectfully suggested. Such a board, acting with a view to the general interest of the State, would only sanction such as were capable of being extended and connected with each other upon home general plan, so as to open communications between the most important point«, find subserve the general interests of the pni'tmCi

The receipts ntcmnt of the three per cent, fund, since the last annual report of the Agent, amounts to twenty thousand,one hundred and five dollais, falling short of (he existing appropriations nearly one half. is obvious while the present system of appropriating this fund is continued,it cannot be relied on as a means of improving our roads and highways, so as to producc uny permanent public advantage. It is annually distributed in small portions lo the several counties in the State, and by them again subdivided, and applied t$ detached portions of the riumeiou* State roads, that incumber our Statute Hooks, without reference to any continuous linecommunication between different parts ot the State and is thus frittered away in payinj for mere temporary improvements,without regard to the permanent convenience or vccommod uion of the public. And it would seem too often to be the case, that the great object ol the fund is lot sight of HI efforts to distribute the money in certain neighborhoods, or to accommodate individuals by placing small portions in their hands for disbursement. It is true, that the people hate been much benefitted by the c* pendituic of the money among them txjt this should only be considered a secondary object. The money could as well be thrown into circulation, and the same advantages accice by applying it to the com »t ruction and improvement of a limited number of principal thoroughfares, selected with a view to tlm general advantage. If soma such plan had been adopted and pursued from the commencement of this fund,until the present time.our Slate would now have been intersected by a number of well improved roads, that would have contributed very essentially to the public convenience and accommodation.

Our dividend for 1331^ will exhaust the remaining appropriations, and I respectfully recommend^ that the legislature than authorise a loan, of wot less than two hundred thousand Hollar* at five per cent., redeemable in 15 years, and to be paid by our annual teceipts of the three per cent, fuad which sum, if industriousv applied to the const rwrtton te permanent ijnprove*%c«t of a portion of our highways, would morp essentially benefit the citizens, and contribute to the wealth and resources of the Slate, than if yearly dividends were trebled, and annually expended upon our

In pursuance of a law of last session, commissioner has been appointed, to act in conjunction with one on the part of Illinois, in making surveys and improvements on that part of the Wabash River, which co«stitutes the common boundary between the two plates, arid has entered upon the duties of the service. Owing to sickness nothing more, has been done, than making some necessary surveys preparatory to the work. Whether the twenty-four thousand dollars appropriated,'will remove the obstructions to the navigation of the rapids or not,?iifticienl information has not yet been obtained* A r«po»*t from||»c cpmmirsioncrs ip?" be expected. 1 herewith lay before you, a Report made to the Legislative (,oun« il of Michigan, with an accompanying resolution, on the subject of (he southern boundary of that Territory, constituting'tins northern boundaries of Ohio, Illinois, and of this State. From this document it will be seen that Michigan, notwithstanding the approval by Congress of the constitutions of these Stale?, in each of whirh their respective boundaries are clearly defined, claims as her southern boundary, an east and west line drawn through the southern extreme of Luke Michigan. Were it possible to recognize this claim, Indiana would lose a district ten miles wide,extend ing entirely across the northern part of the State, including one of the fairest and most desirable portions of her territory, and be entirely excluded from any acess to the l.ake except through a foreign jurisdiction.*

This claim can never be accedcd to by Indiana, and it is highly important that the question should be brought to an early decision. During the last session of Congress, the subject was brought .mmediately before that body b) the application of the people of Michigan, to be admiited into the Uniou as a Slate, and the question underwent considerable discussion before a committee of the Senate, but no final action was had on the subject by either house. Thgrquestion was then contested principal!V between the Delegation of the State of Ohio and Mjehiganfthe latter insisting that it is purely a Judicial question, depending upon compacts and laws already enacted, and over which Congress has no jurisdiction and the former contending that il is a question of Legislative discretion and expediency. tor the purpose of putting you in possession of the position taken by the parties, I herewith l.iy before you the report of the committee of the Senate, containing the arguments and documents submitted to them by the delegation from Ohio aurl Michigan.-— The deep inierest our Slate has in this important question will suggest to you the propriety of calling the attention of our delegation in Congress to the subject, and requesting them to unite with those of O hio and Illinois in bringing it to a speedy determination by Congress, the only legitimate tribunal fur its -decision. But should Michigan succeed in procuring an admission into the Union upon an equal footing with other Slates, before the question is settled, Congress will no longer have jurisdiction over the subject it will then be a question ofboundary and jurisdiction between States, to be detei mined by the Supreme Court of the United States, most probably after a protracted and vexatious litigation. An additional reason why every exertion should be made on part of this State to bring this question,tp a speedy settlement is, that as the mouth of the Maumee river and ihe termination of the Wabash and Brie Canal, lie within the limits claimed by Michigan,it is .rcost, probable that Ohio will suspend allto-opemtion in the work, until the controversy is settled: and from the proceedings of a meeting of some of the public officers and citizens, it would Jeem that such is their intention. 1 herewith lay before you the report of the Adjutant General of the State ot^Jslas sachuseits to the legislature on the subject of the Militia,and also Joint Resolutions of Ifcrt States of Maryland aritl N. Carolina, recommending the adoption, by Congress, of an uniform system that wiil equalize the duties, and iclieve the people from tile bnrlhens of the existing methods of organising the Militia under the State authorities.

The progress made in the erecting of the State House during the past session, has been highly satisfactory. Thus f»«\ the material* uved are of the best quality, and the work is done in the mose substantial manner. There is no doubt but the build* ing will he completed by the time stipu la led in the contract. Kxpcrieoce has al ready shown, that it will be absolutely ne cessary for the legislature to adopt some effectual measure to prevent the work from being wantonly impaired and defaced.

Of the French Lick reserve, 5110 acres 'vercsold at an avarage price of two d.illars two cents per acre, amounting to ten thousand nine hundred and eighty-eight dollars, eighty cents, leaving near 18,000 acres to be disposed of lo individuals at private sales,

The Pottawattamie Indians, resident within the Stale, arc making preparations to remove to the teriitory aligned them by the General Government, west of the Mississippi. ,*1--

Another attempt has recently been made, to extinguish the title of the Miamies, to lanus within the State, which has been only partially successful. They have relinquished nearly all their reserves north of the Wab.ish, and seven miles on the west side of the great reserve on the south side of the river, including.in the whole about two hundred thousand acres. This acquisition,however, is of importance to the State, as it removes most of the impedimenta* from thai source, to the construction of the Canal, and will soon bring into market a considerable quantity of valuable land. It is hoped that no exertions on the part of the Geneial Government will be spare'', to remove this remnant of Indians from among us. »In behalf of the cause of Education, 1 recommend to your special consideration. our School and Seiminary Laws. It is only by steadily observing the practical operations of the Jaw and promptly correcting its deficiencies as they may develope themselves, that we can hope to perfect the system and bring it into general acceptance with the people. It is our business and duty to

ducalion, and we should therefore studiously endeavor to adnpt our Legislation to the peculiar situation and circumstances of the people: even their prejudices ought to be regarded, so far as no! entirely inconsistent with the great object to bo accomplished. By persuing litis course, there is a greater certainty of success, than by adopting at once the most perfeel system that has been devised in other States, and suited to the circumstances and opinions of a people diffl rently situated from ours. ft is highly important that some method should be adopted of enforcing a more rigid accountability in the manageme nt of the county Seminary fund.-. In some instauce*, they are entirely squandered and lost. It is believed that at present, they are more generally paid ever than formerly, to the trustees, but there'still seems to be somc'strange fatality attending them. I would suggest the propnetv of abolishing the office of Seminary Trustee, and vesting the duties in the County Treasurer, under the supervision of the Board doing countv business. The law of 1831, to provide a fund for the encouragement of common schools, directs that lists of lands and lots on which the taxes remain unpaid. shall annually be certified by theJ(3ollectors to the School Commissioners of the several countic*. who shall charce such lands and lots with a penalty of tifty per cent, on the amount of taxes due thereon. and one hundred per cent, per annum until the same is paid ard further requires the School Commissioners to certify to the Treasurer of Slate, on or before the tenth day of December annually, the sjmmint of lands on their books charged with the non payment of taxes, and the sums paid with in the year for the icdcmplion of such lands. In the year 1832, returns were received from bul 24 counties, and for the year 1833, the Commissioners for 22 countits only, made any return and of the returns received, the greater number were very imperfect and unsatisfactory. There is no penalty prescribed for (ho non preformance of this duty on the part of the School Commissioners. It is recommended, that it be made the duty of some of the Executive officers, te furnish the SclWol Commissioners with suitable forms for such reports,and impose a penul ty for failing to certify as required and al-. so the duty ©f the Treasurer to certify to the Prosecuting Attorneys all delinquent Commissioners, within their respective circuits. The fund that would accrue t© the several cour.a.-s in the Sta-e from thisource, if properly managed, would be very considerable and a# it is relinquished on the part of lite State from its principal source of revenue, it *s tie duty of t'. Ix gisloture to see that the prori« oni oi the law are strict* complied :!:f and that the fund is faiJifftlly appi ed it. ilie purr-y^e for ch it eraift d.

Jem and the act regulating the practice moor Circuit Courts,as expresscuih fay communication to the last Legislature, remain unchanged, and the subject is again earnestly recommended (o your attention.

The State Bank has just commenced operations under every favorable circumstances. The stock in all the Branches authorised, was subscribed by individuals, and the instalment paid as required by the

ment on the stock allotted to the Slate, amc~inting tofive hundred thousand dollars, was obtained at a premium of one and five hundredths per cent, on five per ecnt.1

making the sum of five thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars, oil the jimount boirowed. ^As the ensuing session of the Legislature will be the period for a new apportionment of the members of the Senate and House of Representatives, it will be necessary, during the present session, to make provision for taking an enumeration of the free white male inhabitants througout the State, above the ag of twentyone yeai*s, prepaiator) to that measure.

In pursuance of the joint resolutions of the last session, relative to the Insurance Companies within this State, Agents have been appointed to make the examinations and" enquiries proposed, whose reports, when received, will be laid before your.

As it is not probable that the labor thus applied, will in all instances be in confoi mity lo the plan of the Commissioner, and may in some instances, materially interfere with it, will il not be well to authorize the Commissioner to instruct the Supervisors ns to Ihe places and manner of applying the labour of the hands?

Incompliance with duty imposed by a joint resolution of the lasi Legislature, I had the honour of addressing a note to the Hon.
