GOVERNOR'S MESSAGK. Delivered to both branches of the General Assembly, in person, in Ptiday, the 8th of D cembcr, 1826. Gentlemen of the Senate and of (he House of Heirst nratives, I am much exou'irated to witness, that the great author of nature, toe mundictnt disposer of all human concerns, and omnipotent dispenser of every blessing, has, in the arrangement of his providence, permitted us all to assemble heu together, in the capitol of the state at this tune, prepared to enter upon the pet lot iiutncc oi the mot important social duties, that ate

embraced within the powers ot moitals Nor, are you other than the majesty of a State, charged with a faithful execution of the most holy trust. Gratitude to Heaven for countless favours, as the fins fruits of our convention, claims horn us an acknowledgment, that without the as sistance which xve shall derive Irom the unrivaled wisdom, goodness and pow er ol the Almighty, our most potent cfi'jits to enlarge the sum of human luppmess, would be mat ked xvith futilhy.
