-Jonas ottidf of th cTose to ;

public expenditure ought to be regulated by the strictest economy, our receipts s - u"d be greater than our expenditures, and our authoriz d revenues competent to meet every contingency intervening assessments and the final collections we should also consider the objects likely to increase our expenses in fu ure years, and prepare the Treasury to meet them. Ainnng these may be numbered the increase of rcprcst ntation, which the next ra'io may produce, and the commence ment and progress of the public buildings at this place. To meet the expenditures occasioned by the inci case of representation the increased quantities of land which will then be subject to taxation will be more than sufficient, and the proceeds of the sales of public property at this place will probably pay t tie last appropriation for the c urt house, ami meet the costs of the

public buildings. As the population ol our country increases, so will in-'

crease our means and resouues, vhich will hereafter be sufficient to pay oft the small residue of our state debt, a.ul in a very few more years authorize a fuither diminution of taxes. Experience of the pa-t year has shewn that s me further improvement is practicable in our revenue system The procuring of maps of the counties from the Foul offices if made obliatoiy upon the courts d'ing county business, would, it is believed greatly improve the revenue This opinion is bused upon the results

already produced in a few counties where

auch maps have been procured. The

tier cent upon the collection too is be

lieved, not to be sufficient. In son;

countii no collector vas obtained for.

the last year. Wc cri at objects in tin

collections is promptness and certainty. This will repay in a large proportion, a s ifficittit complication to the collectors. Equal justice would also seem to re quire th.u collectors from distant counties thould receive mileage to and from the

duccment to the completion of payments,

the prevention of foi feittn cs, at d the in- p crease of the means to fu isn the vvoik.

These buildings should for the present

be commenced, and completed as the fund alluded to will authoiize. Among the improvements before alluded to, theic is none more deserving ol attention than a state library. Many vai uable books already belong to the state, and if some regulations for thcit use, and piescrvation should be made with only a moderate annual allowance for theii increase they would soon constitute a respectable collection. It will afford me great pleasure to cooperate with you in every measure calculated to promote the public, good. WILLIAM HENDRICKS. January It, 18 24.

flAT whereas, Jonathan Hicklin, of

the state of Illinois, holds six bonds

or notes on me, for one hundred dollars each, executed on the seventh day of December, one thousand eight hundred and twenty two; for which he gave me his obligation bond, for a title to two hundred acres of land, off of the north west end of lot No. 220, additional donation lands ; Sc whereas, some person unknown did, on or about the fourteenth day of December, one ll ousand eight hundred and twenty four, feloniously brake into my house, and took away said bond, and also as much money as would pay his ferriage over the Wabash. And as I believe the said Jonathan Hicklin has no right or title to the said land, and never will be able to make me a title to-ihe land, this is to caution all persons against put chasing said bonds (or notes) as I will never pay the kame unless compelled by law, ROBERT LOCK R 1(1 E.
