MESSAGE OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE governor; Of the Stat:- of Indiana : cotHmunicated brj thi- Secre tary of Sta'c, to both ffjuscs s' thr Leitilatur , convened in the ReftreaentaHve Cha:nb:rt on thr 2 I day of Gee. 13 17. Oentlem n f thr Senate, and of the ffo&ae of Refirea&ntativetm Sikck the close of the last session of the Legislature, it La pleasing to announ e that no untoward events, affecting ihc interest or prosperity ot' the state, have transpired. Notwithstanding there are several subjects deserving your attention, and incumbent on me to present for your consideration. The statute laws of the state, hare become so obscure, from the multiplied amendatory and supplemental acts, to ascertain the duties of the ckiz n, as areil as of public functinarics, is rendered difficult; and particularly so to the former. It is believed after performing the duties which the common avocations of life lemand, but htue time will be allowed for the greater portion of the citizens to inform themselves of the mandates of our statutary laws, involved in ail their present uncertainty. It is submitted to the Legislature to determine, whether as a mode the least expensive, t!ie selection of suitable characters, to whom the revision of the laws shall be confided, oe the most eligible; subject nevertheless to your rejection, in vvhoie or in part, at the next meeting of the Genera. Assembly The revision of our penal code, demands the attention of the present Session. To ensure the punishment of crime, the penal laws should be tempered with a degree oi mildness, becoming the nature of our Government and the feelings ol its citizt ns. The revision of the Militia Law, will claim yoilr early attention; without which the organization of the militia cannot oe completed ; and connected with this nioject, an additional salary to the a liutant general, is recommended) whose ..vices and responsibility render it advisable. The imperfect assessment ol the taxes for the present year, produced perhaps, in consequence ol tiie late p i ;od at winch the iaws of the iast session wr;c

promulgated, may render it nee to resort to a moderate loan ; on tion that it may be required to m demands, hereafter to be created, Treasury. A further examination into the ac of the late rerritory, is re ommenc it has been found that the clem the state, under the character ol t

rial warrants winch have been liqui e l, far exceed, in their amount, the caicu ation made by a committee of the Hous of Representatives, at their iast session. Although it is desirable to ha ve the demands winch exist against the stati un

der the character ot territorial wan liquidated as soon as possible ; i it to your deliberation to determin J ther it will be more expedient to - further time ior the adjustment oi l demands, that are vet outstanding ; i er than to legislate spe ially on I claims whensoever they may be pre ted for your consideration. The right of trial by jury form-, of the fundamental princtph s of our vermnent, and an impartial and tin ed mode of summoning una em par, ing juries, so far as it is possible t attained, will tend to secure impartii

aiKl a proper confidence i i the adini;

tration of justice throughout ti( st . e. A radical cl ange therefore, in this i t of our jurisprudence, connected with oi extension of the jurisdiction of magistrates in criminal cas., o cause juries

to be em panne led and the fie tit misdemeaners to be
