free from infraction in my per' n, and ;.s a functionaiv; and though ever ilespiii g li centiousness as the worst enemy togx-d order in society, tending to create and luight en its exacerbations; still, the freedom of speech, and cf the pi ess, guided by truth and decency, have mainta.i.ed their high bearing with my most decided acquits cence. Whenever it has seemed necessary to defend the constitution of the State, to execu't her laws, or advocate her inteiest. has h not been done, at the sacrifice of my standing? though it called down upon n y head the keen displeasure of the MKili lY in their disappointment, or exposed me to the atire oi those ttet taming diffViu.t opinion?. 1 o know my duty at all times ai d in even emergency, was not more gratifying, than to execute it in person. hen or where did an opportunity piesent itself to secure to the state an advantage, when it was not eagerly laid hold of and turned to the best account? And acting upon the dim out line set by my predecessors to guide nie, the commission of any act illegal or unconstitutional, or the omission of any one required bj either, has been, at all times, the subject cf my mot scrupulous care. Having thus, cursorily, repeated a few of my sentiments, on some of the most prominent topicks of the past, and expressed my convictions as to my general c urse, your attention to me shall be released after a brief expose for a moment in the affairs of the last year. It may not be amiss to indulge for a moment in the pleasing reflection, that the last season has given us as many evidences of prosperity, health, and of increase of numbers and resources by emigration, as former ones. Nothing has occun ed, to abate for a moment, the high ex pectatiens of our people. After the lapse of a few years, they calculate to exhibit to other states some unequivocal tentimony of their character, as an entei prizing and iniel ligent population. Enviable, indeed, as is our situation, we become infinitely more happy in the compai ist n of our condition w itli that of the population of other parts of the globe, where the millions are beasts of burden, and the tens are rolling in their luxury in the name of God. One nation as a David, has ot late, turned upon her Goliah oppressor, but though we mav be permitted to admire the dauntless heroism of Poland in suppoit if a righteous cause, yet it is to be feared, thai the fall of Warsaw, gives occasion to the friends of liberty, not only to lament the success ot the Russian batlalhons, but to mourn over the check it giv es to the mighty revolution, in progress throughout Europe. But if God is for Poland, she vv ill yet avenge her wrongs upon the hosts cf the autocrat in the name of liberty. The topicks of a general natuie, for your consideration, at this session, are not very numerous. After mingling y our i tgiets together, with n e, that the State cf Ohio is about to withhold from us her assistance and co-operation in the construction of the Wabash and Erie Canal, and then surveying the obstacles in the way of the accom plishment of our wishes without such aid, or consent, you may be inclined to deliberate upon some of the alternatives which experience has substituted in place cf the canal, w ith undoubted success. Prefeiii g the canal, however, on the route it is located, as long as there is a ray of hope for its contin uation to the Maumee Bay, meiely out tf pure regard tor the preservation of good faith between the Stafe and the purchaser of the lands sold under constructive pledges to apply their consideration to a woik of that kind, y et, when this prospect becomes hopeless, let it be answered if posible, w hich is the best faith, the construction of a Hailway with the consent of Congiess, and the canal land-holder, or the sufftrit g an entire failure of auy facility by the forfeiture cf the grant? Where they are in other respects equal, the majority of the American people, at this day, give the preference to the Kail- wayover the canal; the former being altogether the cheapest and best. The abandonment, however, of the abash and Erie canal, bound as we are by the most cleu n pledge to construct it, by several legislative acts, cannot in good faith be justified new, fi r any substitute however imposing, unless driven to such course by unavoidable necesitu. Subject to this qualification, the legislature is most earnestly solicited, by the ju ice less h Mior cf a state, to take the responsibility fearlessly upon her, r.f making an energetic and speedy commencement of this wu k Justice and the public voire call for this ca nal, ar.d sanctioned by the growing rtsour ces of the state.it ought to be promptly ccmmenced, without further delay. Convinced that vou will be sustained by the magnanimous population of Indiana, in furthering this enciui ing and useful line ( f t anmerce, my opinion as to the obligation which rests upen you to make it is cheerfully given. The Michigan road lands sold in Octo her for 849.371. as repoiied to n e bv the roo inUstoners The average is about g : 000 per section, which wui ap ply the same amount to each tniic ot the road, if the balance ot '.he lands sell as wellas these Contractors upon this road may congratulate themselves in the prospect of the speedy redemption ol their scrip.
