th use Of the Seminary of Learning are w u r in the legislature, to be appropriated solely to that purpose, and his suomitted tor your considerations whether the location of swh institution upon or near such lancls, would not greatly enhance their value, and enlarge the funds tor a purpose so important. It is bcleicd that the Seminary township, situated in Monroe county would aft'oid a site combining the advantage! ot fertility of soil with a healthy climate, as well as a position sufficiently central to the various sections ol t he State. To authorise the sale of a portion of those lanus, under judicious regulations; wouid increase the value of the residue, and the sooner enable us to lav the foundation of an institution jo desirable. 13ut the proceeds of such sale however, Oj tiie ninth article of the Constitution, is required to be, and remain, a fund for the exclusive purposes of titeratue, which indicates that the proceeds alone of such tunc! were intended to be subject to expenditure. The money which has been and will be paid a an equivalent by persons exempt from militia duty, except times of war, is required by the constitution tojje applied in equal proportion to the support of county seminaries, and renders some legislative provisions necessary to effect such distribution.- To ularge the means of education, by fostering the resource under the coutioul o' the general assembly, and to hasten tne period when those means may be practically and constitutionally applied, will merit your timely and judicious attention. The future reputation and prosperity of the state, must greatly depend upon the means of education being generally diffused, and attended with the least possibe expense, ignorance has generally been the offspring of despotism, an . ruinous to to ttie rights and liberties of man kind. When the exercise of the most invaluable rights, and the discharge of the important duties of I re e men, are connected with ignorance and the privation of the means of education, the views which may be dictated by an honest concern for the public good arc at ail time?, uabie to be thwarted by the designing and ambitious, i he b esingsot liberty can only he appez ud, and rendered Ultimately secure, When, by the mean, of education, useful information is generally diffused. Its importance will be obvious to the legislature, and will no doubt receie, that consideration which its consequence and beneficial results may require. The opening and improving of public roads and hi ghways, presents itself, as another subject ot general interest. The recent population and im pro vent of a considerable portion of the stale, ad is maternally to the labor or expenditure to be sustained by the people ; and with regard to the different modes which have been suggested, and the various objections to them from being more generally acquainted with the situation of the country and the teciings the community, you will be better able to decide in relation thereto, what prvoisions. if any should be necssai y. The militia law may require amendments, ami particularly with regard to the time r quired lor making returns to the office of the ajudantgeneral, of the strength and situation of the mi.itia. Returns should b ?nade at an earlier pei iod, and some provision calculated the better to enforce the discharge of his duty, seems to be necessary. A Want of strict attention to the inspection and return of of the numbers of our Militia, has deprived the state of a considerable portion of arms, to which the state would otherwise have been entitled, under the act of congress, making provision tor arming and equiping the militia of the United States. Difficulties have been experienced between officers of infantry and artillerv, when the latter is attached to the former, either for duty or parade ; and the same effects, are to be expected in relation to the dragoons, under like circumstances Considering the numbcr of companies of artiiktry and dragoons, to authorise the selection ot a in jor to command each corps, would advance the public good, by guarding against difficulties not otherwise to be avoi led. It is to be lamented, that rbc frequent resignations of officers, yp I consequent changes in command.

material!) retail the progrcsi of improtement in military knowledge. Of the officers more time should be required to be spent in the practical discliarge ot military duty, especially indrills ef the brigade ; and, until the officers are made more familarly acquainted With what it becomes the m to teach their subordinates it is almost uscles to require ot the privates their attendance at the times tit present prescribed by the existing law Toe business of the office of the adjutant general is continually increasing, and requires an additional compensation, which, under the importance of a faithful and punctual disc harge of the duties attached to it, is recommended to your consideration. he late extinguishment of Indian title to lands in our State, and the progress of the United States1 surveys, require that provisions should be made to select and locate a scite for the permanent Seat of Government ; and the manner in which such locations shall be effected, as well as the number of persons to be employed in the selection, should devolve on the general assembly during the present session. The extent and fertility of riose lands, has induced individuals to anticipate, in their settlements, the surveys and sales of the United States; and renders it necessary that a temporary extension of limit should be given t the northern frontier rout ties to facilitate the execution of the laws. The additional population which the late purchase will induce to the neighborhood of Fort Wayne, as, well as the interest of the present inhabitants of that portion of the Mate, will occupy a portion of your deliberations. The annual report of the treasury officers, will afford you a coi rect view of receipts and expen ditures ofGov -erment for the year past -. and 1 have much satisfaction in offering the assurance, that the situation of the records will meet vour entire approbation. From those exhibits, in some measure, voti will be enabled to farm m estimate necessary for the current year including the interest on the public debt, which has or may become payable. In the nis uarge of our relative du ties, dispassionate discussions and an undevialing regard to the welfare oi the ?tatc and the interest of our cons ments, will I have no doubt characterise your deliberations and in every purpose calculated to pron nte those objects, a eoiliai eo-opcra'i m on mv part will checrfulH be afforded.
