tiou of the African, for the separation of the ivlute anil colored races, and for tho removal or mitigation of a great source i of evil. I recommend that yon continue I the annual appropriation for the cause or I colonization, and that your voice be heard ' Sin the National councils asking for tho ; of the independence of lhe ( Republic of Liberia. In my former messages, my views in relation to llio necessity of making provisions by law, for a thorough geological and topographical survey of the Slate, and | in reference to the importance of creating | a Bureau ot statistics in one of the departments of State, have been laid before | the Lcgislatme. Again, earnestly 1 invite vuur attention to these subjects. In the early part of the year 1854, the State hoard of Agriculture, at an expense of 8500 employed Dr. Brown to make a cursory geological examination oj our State, ami to publish the result of hi* labors in the third annual report, which has been placed on your tables, you will find much valuable information on the subject of our undeveloped agricultural and manufacturing resources. We have neglected these interests too long, and the present is a favorable time to correct this error of our home policy. Europe is now convulsed with a contest, the etui of which cannot he foreseen, but which will, while it lasts, continue to disturb the commercial and manufacturing interests of the world. While we cannot lie indifferent spectators of this terrible combat among the nations of Europe, we should lie admonished of the necessity of cultivating the aits of peace, and of developing those boundless resources of wealth that a bountiful Providence has scattered broadcast over our land. Without depending upon tho Haltering and uncertain in Alienees, of national legislation, it is our duty to strengthen, and encourage the arms of enterprise and industry, hy tho strong force of a wise and steady State policy. , With a coal field of seven thousand square miles in extent—with iuexhaustahlc boils of iron ore—with a soil of unfailing fertility—with a central position between the east and the west—and with railroads traversing the Statu in nil dii op-tions—-Indiana, if true to her own interests, within the course, of tho next .ten years may double the present amount of her wealth and population. ■ ' j' ■' If we.desire to bring.into onr Gtato n portion of the now hoarded capital of Europe and the east, wo -must be able to point with certainty to the places at which it can be profitably invested; To enable ns to do this, we want reliable facts, Such as the'actual investigations of scientific men only can furnish. * The expenditures of a few thousand dollars, if authorized hy tho legislature, will secure to us Lhc advantage of a thorough geological and topographical survey* of the State. While twr sister States, by the aid of science, are unfolding their agricultural and mineral wealth, we are trusting these great interests to chance and to individual enterprise. \ . In view of these facts, that there ‘rare in Indiana twenty*five hundred miles of railroads, either now in running order, or approaching a state of completion—that the affaire of some of these toads arc controlled hy (he interests of citizens of other States—-that onr railroads furnish Employment to thousands of hands—-and that the policy of these ■' eorporalion3=cxcrciscs an important influence on the trade and commerce of oiir State, and on'the character of the citizens—it'bccomcs the duly of the Legislature, not only to adopt efficient measures for* the prevention of unauthorized and unjust exactions upon the traveling public, hut to provide, as. far as human foresight can provide, any by any means within the scope of legisf lativo authority, for the prevention a 1 those railroad accidents which so frequently result in the destruction of propertj and tho loss of human life.' j

five to command, in tho administration of public affairs, the services of the most; worthy and the mast competent men,— 1 The very best and most wholesome laws may, in consequence of their incorrect interpretation or improper administration, .fail to accomplish the purposes for which .they were made. ! lu order to secure efficiency, and success in the administration of ;the public affairs, it is the duty dud-the j interest of the Stale to provide for the payment | of fair salaries to public officers. The present •salaries of our Judges ate not sufficient; and | it is absolutely necessary to increase the comipemation of these public servants, if we desire and expect to have, in this department, the services of men qualified to administer justice, and to command, for the judiciary, the confidence and respect of the peoble. These | remarks are applicable to other public officers, land to the discharge of other official duties!

supremacy of the laws. These interests must] be preserved, and maintained, at all hazards. The total amount of money arising from the jsale of swamp lands, paid iuto the treasury, ;and in the bands, of the receivers; is at the [present lime, about 8800,000. Of this sum, j £3-10,000 has been disbursed under the law authoring.(be dilchihg and draining of the lands. In some portions of the State, the expenditure of the funds has produced good results; in other parts, the money has been paid Ho officers, and nothing beneficial to wet lands has been accomplished.' The operation of the swanip land laws have confirmed the views expressed in my former communications to the legislature. The correctness of the construction that has been placed, by officers of state, on these laws, as they relate to the mode of issuing patents, is, in ray opinion, very doubtful. Tim subject demands your early attention. - Itis jet possible, by prudent legislation, to secure, for the common school, fund, a const detabe amount of the proceeds of the swamp lands,' The very valuable' report of the Auditor of State ; will place before.yoil the details of the management of this trust. It is the duty ofthe present General Assembly, to fix bylaw, the number of Senators and Representatives that shall compore the Legislature, and to apportion:such'Senators and Ilepreseiilives among the several counties, according to the number of,white male inhabitants almve t we niy-ofte-years of age, in each. In connection with - your attention, is invited to the suggestions that Were contained in a previous message, ih reference to a reduction of the present number of Senators. In the discharge©! the firstd ily named, amt in any action Which, in your discretion you may deem proper, In' respect 10 the suggesttons concerning a reduction of (be number of Senators, you will, no doubt, be control ed by an equitable regard for the interests of the citizens of all portions of the State. .It ts your duty to establish all the guards and restriciious (hat inay.be necessary for the protection of the purity of the ballot-box, nnd rhe security of the elective franchise. 1 soeggst that .you prohibit/.under severe penalties, against the separation of nil the officers of au electron, until the ballots are counted and the result of the poll is known and declared... Tlie attention of the Ugslatma is again called to the consideration. of the subject of providing suitable buildings for the Slate ofhcers at the seat of government Tbs proceeds of the property owned by the Stale, ami the additional aid that the General Government will, doubtless,'furnish; will b« sufficient to ereel a substantial miitd'mg on the "Governor’s Circle," .for the accommodation of the National, amt Stale officers, without imposing any lax on. the Slate Treasury. The Capitol building sbou|d be appropriated .only, to the uses of the General Assembly,'Ihe’Rt-preseh-litllres of the people, and the Slate Library, ; i An appropriation should be made for lbs inclosing of the capitol* grounds with an iron fence. Thisis rendered absolutely necessary in order to preserve ibe building and the groiind. . . ' v.l. _ ' ' * • The loss of some of our.

In accordance With the requirements of the restitution of the last General Assembly,.authorizing on examination'into "the slock affairs of the State,- the; loss', of surrendered bonds, and the excess of scrip/; the undersigned, in company with the Treasurer, of State, visited the office of our agency.at New York, in August, 1853, The missing .bond* having been found a few da) 1 * previously, were carefully counted, and are-now: in the office of the Treasurer of Stale. . The ! apparent*,discrepancy between the t»ooks of the Agent of State and those of the Auditor, os to the amount of bonds surrenrendcred, was examined in order Ho correct ! this discrepancy, a complete copy of the books 1 of Ihe Agent of Stale was made, and carefully 1 compared in every particular. This copy is now in the bands of the .Auditor of Slate, • who, by reference. to. it, has corrected the supposed errors; and it is believed that the report of the Auditor, based upon this examination, presents a correct view of the State debt.

cause of complaint against Indiana can be made by any Stale of the Union. <■ Whatever views may be entertained by others, it is my deliberate opinion that, at this day, the people of ho State are more national n their political sympathies than are the citizens of Indiana. Enjoying the privilege of making pur own laws, in out way, on all subjects not prohibited by the coittUtatioa of the United States, we acknowledge the existence of a similar right in the people of every Stale and Territory ip the. Chiba. I know of no other principle but this, upon which we can stand with safety and honor. It is the chief corner-stone on which, tinder God, the seemly end perpetuity of the Union testa. If we cannot maintain ' Ibis position, there ; is no hope',’of peace and harmony th the future. Whenever we abandon this stand,'we shall lend nui influence in invoking that worst of all political calamities, a dissolution in reeling and sympathy ol the rtembers of this great confederacy—thus transforming the moral and fraternal ties that bind us together; into mete galling rfhd oppressive,physical forces,' • Our only hope of perpetuating our instituUbns in nil their' original vigor ihd purity, rests upon the adoption of that system of legislation that throws'the several Stale: and Territories of the Union more and mote upon their own resources, and confines the action of the General Government within the limits defined bj tire Constitution. ' •'Ardently desiring to co-operate w ; ithyou, in alt that will advance the interests of our beloved commonwealth, and looking to that Being who, alone, li able to guide us in'llie paths of wisdom, you have my wannest aspirations, that all your proceedings, .at this interesting arid critical period in our history, may have a tendency to increase the strength', and maintain toe honot of our Slate, and promote the happiness and prosperity of the people. JOSEPH A. WRIGHT. Xfcreinr 4, 1855., ' * ■ ,-

No one can doubt that there is a strong public sentiment in Indiana in favor of a change in onr laws upon the subject; end it is the duty of the people’s servants 'to cany ant that sentiment. It will give me pleasure to co-operate with the Representatives of the people, in tho adoption of any constitutional measure, that may be calculated to remove this acknowledged evil from the Slate. The Reports of the Trustees of the Benevolent Institutions exhibits the condition and management of these monuments of the benevolence of Indiana. The people willingly pay their taxes to sustain these Institutions. It is, however essentially necessary to provide additional checks in tho expenditure of tho public money raised for their support,. Their cost, peryear, amounts to more than tho * sum paid annually oh account of the; ordinary expenses of the State Government. As they arc now placed upoii the Treasury proper to bo sustained by direct appropriations it is hoped that thw necessity of borrowing money to support them, will not again arise. I reccommend that tho management of the affaire of the three Benevolent Institutions be placed under the control of one set of Trustees, not exceeding five in number; and that the law which governs the expenditures of the Deaf and Dumb Assylmn, be extended over the otter Institutions.

During the course of the yean 1S53 and IS* 51, the present efficient State Treasurer has received and distributed about three-quartets of n million of public moneys, on account of swamp and wet lands. For the additional responsibilities and labor-imposed on hirb in the discharge of these duties, I he Legislature xltnniil'allnw a proper compensation. Before the next meeting of the Legislature,' :he. present lease of the State prison will expire; and the duly devolves on you to decide whether the present system of selling out the crime of the State to the highest bidder,' shall be continued or abandoned. The policy of making periodical sales of the management and tabor of the criminals that the State may have in. its custody, is highly objectionable. The Penitentiary of Indiana is as well kept, th conformity with the taw that governs rl.as any State Prison in the Union; but the system is essentially wrong, and unworthy of the State. The Stale shcnild have the entire control of the Prison, its discipline, its labor, and its internal regulations; and, as far as it may be practicable and expedient, a system of rewards for good conduct should be kept constantly before the view of each convict., • -Do not malic ihe convict a stave without-hope,-if you expect to reform him; but let him :know that the Stile regards him, even within: the ,wj|1s of the prison, as a man, in whose reformation and restoration to the rights of citizenship, she feels an (Merest. :

At tins time, whilo financial cmbarraesraonts arc aflecting’some of tba commercial ami manufacturing interests of the country, it 'is gratifying to observe that there are evidences of imlustry, prosperity, ami improvement, among the farmers and mechanics of the State. All classes of onr .laboring populalipu ire turning their attention, as members oi various industrial associations, to the consideration of the best means ofpromoU ing'tho interests of their several pursuits. Under the authority of the ‘Act of the General Assembly, approved February 17, 1852, abont sixty Agricultural Associations have been established in Indiana, and a very large portion of this number held intercsting.and profitable fairs in the fall of the year 1854. I suggest that (ho law under which agricultural societies arc organized, be so amended tliat tlicse-av-somtions shall bp invested with the right to hold real estate, for purposes .'connected with the holding of their animal fairs. Many of the societies. have purchased valuable grounds on which they are making permanent improvements. ■ ; lire State Board of Agriculture, is now in session, with a fall delegation from various parts of the State. By the operations of Boawl dumg the past year, more than four thousand volumes on agricultural subjects have been distributed among the people of the. Stale.’ These volumes contain, not only valuable information derived from the experience of some of the Vst farmers' of Indiana, but also, many useful and interesting facts in relation to the. Agricultural experience of the most distinguished farmers of other atalcsjof the Union. It is the doty of those who represent the pcoplein the Genera! Assembly to aid and encourage the efforts of the State Board of Agriculture and’, its auxiliary societies. By stimulating labor, by rewarding industry and skill, by encouraging the useful arts, ami by diffusing in various ways, useful and practical knowledge, these associations have exerted a most bcnefic : al influence in promoting the agriqnlturalTnlereat and in increasing the amount and the value of the products of our homo industry. I reccomnicnd that von appropriate the sum of three thousand dollars for (he permanent inclosing of the military grounds at the Capitol. Tin's sum in addition to that which will U» furnished by the citizcns'of Indianapolis and the Agricultural society of Marion county, will be sufficient to provide suitable grounds for the periodical display of the most valuable stock of tbc State, and for tho exhibition of the labor and skill of our mechanics and. manufacturers.

. In determining the question of the future managementuf the. Stale Prison, the idea of making it profitable In a pecuniarv way should he outweighed by a higher consideration—the duly of bdont ug the best means for Ihe reformation of the convicts within its.wails. . ■ : The cr niliiulioit limb you have »«;orn to support, declares (hat the .General Assembly ••shall provide bouses of refuge; for the correction of juvenile offenders.”- Of two :h;iindred and'sixty-seven men in the stale prison, thirty-six ore tinder twenty years qf-'oge; and more than one-half of the whole hmuber are under twenty-five years of age..

The correspondence on the subject of acquiring territory in Liberia for the colouration of our colored population will be found in the reports of the colonization agent. From this correspondence it appears that the contemplated quantity of land cannot bo acquired in a body. The object in view may, however be accomplished by snch a modification of the law os shall authorize the selection of lands in smaller quantities for families and individuals who may emigrate from Indiana to Liberia, The expediency of making such a modification of the law, is worthy of your consideration. Since the passage of the law authorizing a State organization for the purpose of aiding the canteof African colonization, 48 persons have been sent from Indiana to Liberia,. A majority of these emigrants were good mechanics, industrious and intelligent men and well qualified to exert a good influence in that infant republic.

A mortgage was taken upon tbe road and all its equipments, and duly recorded in the several counties through which the road passes. Upon the failure to pay the first instalment of seventy-thousand doll are,-due the first day of January, 1854, the' claim was, placed in the hands of able BtlorneysTor'collection. The report of the Trustee named in the mortgage, and the correspondence upon the subject, together with a communication from the President of tbe Company, will place before you the condition of this claim. Many important questions, all of which will doubtless receive your careful consideration, have been raised under the operations of our new Constitution and Revised Statutes, since the lost session of the General Assembly.— Amoug the subjects that wilt claim your atten: lion, are, the amendment of the law in relation to the compensation of Sheriffs for the removal of convicts to the State Prison—the expediency of investing Clerks of Courts with power to order the holding i f elections for Justices of the Peace —the decisien of the Supreme Court, bn the subject of the amendment of Statutes—and the extent to which it will become your duty to revise Ibe laws affected by that decision.

Itis confidentially hoped that the pre ent Legislature will, without mithorizii any unreasonable interference with the r fairs of railroad companies, provide, 1

and i.iflulin,’ corporal puiiislmitiil otmiflividuals,) undertaken to rtguiaielhc morals of the communities in which such lawless combinations are permitted to exist. Civil officers ami peaceful citizens, fearful of incur ring the dangerous hostility of members of these secret associations, allow their lawless acts to pass without punishment, ami almost without public censure. The inevitable tendency of these secret associations is to corrupt the morals of the community, and to divest men of their respect for law and order. In reference to this subject, it seems that some additional legislation is required, in order to insure prompt and efllciert action on the part of the civil authorities. If, in cases of unlawful assemblages, riots, routs, affrays, SfC., the circuit courts were invested with concurrent jurisdiction with the courts of common pleas, nnd informants were thus shielded by Grand Juries, the change would, perhaps, afford to society some additional protection against the violence of lawless men. No state of facts can ever arise, in a government like ours, that should, for a moment, tolerate private citizens in the usurpation of the right either to redress their own teal or imaginary wrongs, or to Inflict injuries on the property or on the persons of their neighbors —Wherever, such usurpations are tolerated or encouraged, the people are rapidly approaching a state of anarchy, in which laws can afford no protection to life, liberty or property. It is, therefore, the solemn duly of every citizen of Indiana to aid to the preservation of the public peace, and in the malntainance of the

tbe enactment of suitable laws, for i.ol icing to tlie strictest accountability all persons entrusted with tho management of these corporations. An early consideration of. tho expediency of creating tho office of Attorney General, is pressed upon the attention of the General Assembly. 'With respect to this subject, the justness of the views contained in my annual communication of 1851, has been confirmed by the experience of two past years. Tho amounts paid and the liabilities incurred by the State, for professional cervices during, that period, will'exceed the sum of five thousand dollars. Constitutional questions that effect the revenues of tho Stale, the common schools, tho tenure of officers, (kc., are continually arising in the courts, and yet there is, for the Slate, no legal adviser. Economical considcra-, tiom cleary indicate the necessity of creating the office of Attorney General. In the application of the principles of economy, in fixing tho compensations of the officers of the State government, we should be careful to avoid a parsimonious policy. Tho salaries attached to onr public offices should not be prodigally large; they shojild he sufficiently remuoera-

We cannot be indifferent spectators to the action of the Genera) Government and to the political events of the day. The past year has been one of unusual 'political excitement; and, to the patriot, it must be a source of regret to perceive that this excitement has, in no smalt degree, evinced a dangerous spirit of sectionalism, * " ' Indiana, as a Slate, has wisely selected her own dnmeiric policy; and the people feel that they have the right, from time to time, to change or modify that policy. Satisfied with the degree of prosperity that we have attained under out own free institutions, we have uniformly respected the constitutional rights' of etch member of the confederacy; and no just
