tatives, on Tuesday the 3d of December 1822. Gentlemen of the Senate, And of the House of Reirese?itatives. In meeting you on the present occasion,

it is pleasing to announce that no untow

ard event has transpired connected with the interest of the state, within the period

for which it has been necessary for me to attend to the executive trust and duties under this view of the subject, 8c the ex

pectation of your receiving a communica-

tian in detail from my successor in office,

whose constitutional period will commence on thc the third day of the present session of the General Assembly, 1 ITave declined embracing in my comnftinication, various subjects, which may feenecessary to claim the attention of the present Legislature, on which, in my conception it will be thc province of my succes-

sor in onice to communicate ior your

consideration. Thc melancholy effect which thc peculiarity of the" season has produced, to many of our fellow citizens as well to those of our sister slates in the Union, is a subject of deep regret;

yet we have reason to send forth our grat

itude to the Omnipotent disposer of events, that the close of another year has not returned without the usual bountiful supplies of the necessaries of life, for the consumption of thc citizens of our own state, and a large surplus of produce lor exportation, to foreign markets; which if annually managed by those of our own state, with economy and enterprise, with a gentle forbearance on thc part of our Fellow Citizens, one towards another, will be the only sure foundation on which to rely for relief, from the present embarrassed situation of the country, and which is so generally experienced by almost every description of our citizens.

Ways and means for the support of thc Government should occupy the early attention of thc Legislature, as they are (the only proper tribunal to determine wrrat shall be the proper subjects, and manner of taxation. Subjects of the most general interests to the state, arc too often omitted until the latter part of the session of the legislature, consequently produces in the close of a hurried session

various defects in many of our statutary provisions. His believed that thc present method of assessing, and collecting the revenue, is not sufficiently ceiii.min its provisions to secure the support of the public credit. The assessment of taxes should an

nually be made at an earlier period,

subject is respectfully

recommended to your consideration. The law which makes it thc duty of thc clerks of the circuit couits to forward certificates of election of Governor, Lieutenant Governor Sc Representatives to Congress, affixis no penalty on those officers of the courts, in case of the failure to perform that duty. The law passed at the last session of

the legislature; which authorises called courts, for the trial of criminal prosecutions, has made no provision for council on the part of the state, where there shall be no prosecuting attorney resident in the county where the offence shall have been committed. Judgment has been obtained against the corporation of the bank of Vincennes, and commissioners have been appointed to receive thc effects of the bank, agreeably to the provisions of an act of the last legislature, two of which commissioners have refused to accept of their appointments, which, together with the circumstance of the effects of the bank having been removed from Vincennes, has prevented a further prosecution of the subject. How far the provisions of an act of the last session of the legislature has been, or will be complied with, relative to a revision of the statute laws of this state which is so essentially necessary to the furtherance of public justice, is a subject submitted for early consideration. Many of the counties have not a sufficient number of the acts passed at the different sessions of the Legislature since the commencement of the State Government, to enable those officers for whose use and information they were intended, to enter with certainty upon the discharge of their relative duties, and more particularly those new counties within that

portion of the state commonly called thc new purchase ; and for which counties there has been no provision made by lavr for the distribution of any number of the

acts of 1821.

The right of representation and taxa

tion, within the State, under existing cir

cumstances, presents a subject of the ut

most importance and interest, to many of

our fellow citizens, to which I invite your

particular attention, since the last apportionment of senators and representatives to the general assembly of this state, several new counties have been formed and organized in that portion of the state which was not included in the original counties, in consequence of which, from the existing law will be entitled to no representation in the general assembly, until the year 1826. The 4hsec. of the 1st, art. of the constitute n declares, " that elections shall be free and equal ;" and the same article and 7th sec. provides, that no man's particular services shall be demanded, or property takm or applyed to public use, without the ron cnt rf his representatives, or without a jus compensation being made theiefor. Two several communications has been made and forwarded to the governor of thc state of Illinois, pursuant to an act of thc last session of the general assembly of this state, relative to the navigation of the Wabash river, both of which were accompanied with a certified copy of thc act relative thereto. Sundry communications have been received from the governors of other states, accompanied with various resolutions of thc legislatures of their respective states, among which, is one from the governor of Kentucky soliciting the appointment of one or mote commissioners on the part of the states of Ohic, Indiana, & Illinois, to ncgociatc with such commissioner or commissioners as may be appointed on the part of thc stale of Kentucky, on the
