the Quarter Master General, instead of involv-

We have cause for congratulation that,
atriidst the distresses and embarrassmcnts
which have oppressed the energies and resour-
ces of almost every section of the country, our
financial C()t]C:l,‘.lO,n, has enabled us to meet all
the r€ql1lt'ctj1CnlS for liberal economy; and tl:c
means’ at our command for the education of
our youth have not been impaired or tliuiiu-
ished.
The receipts into the Treastiry during the
year ending the 31st of March last, (including
the sum of $i0.8-I5 43. receiver! from the
Treasury of the United Sta'cs) timouiited to
$101,016 49. The expenrlittires during the
same period, have been $77,941 IS,-—leaving
a_ balance in the Treastiry of $23,105 3 .
An item in the list of expenditures which has
particularly attracted my attention, is that of
thirty one thousand three hundred and thirty
six doflars, thirty five cents, fir Judicial expeng.
es. A part of the sum: embraced in this item
is made up ofcliarges for the support. o!'prison-
ers in the County \Vork Ilouses; although in
most, if not all of the counties in which prisons
of that description are established, the revenue
arising from the labor ofthe prisoiiers, is more
than adequate to the payment of all expendi-
titres. r1"llE_jllSllCCtif those provisions of law
which authorizes such a state of things, I have
not been able to perceive. Iftlie expenses of
the several county prisons are, by law, to he
paid by the State, the income accruing from the
labor performetl in them, and from other sour-
ces, ought in justice to be paid into the State
Treasury; btit if the Counties are to reap the
benefit of the income, they ought upon the
same principle to bear the burden ofthe expen-
diture. At this crisis the ru'es of economy in
every tlepartnierit of the public service cannot
be too carel'u_lly consttlted, or too rigidly en-
forced. All measures which have for their
object the correction ofabuses, or the equaliza-
tion of the public burtbens, should conimeiid
themselves. to your special consideration and
tavor. It is deserving of votir enquiry, whether
gt very great redtictioii in the expenses com-
tlainetl of might not be ci'fL-cte-l, by requiritig
all bills of courts to be liquidated by county
officers, and t‘:iitl otit oftlze conutv treasuries.
From the limited attention whiclivl have l)8"l]
able to b_estow u_pon this snlijizt-t. have become
strongly impressed with the b_elicftliai such a
requirement would noi only be the means of
greatly reducing’ the judicial expenses, but
would also partially, if not wholly, supersede
the necessity of levying an atiriual state tax
upon the people. Desirous as yoti ai'e,of ad-
vancing the piiblic interests by every laudable
means within your power, Icannot doubt this
subject will receive at your hands a thorough
itivesttgatton.
lam gratified toitiform you that n0lv.'3tl1_-
standing the pressure ofadverse circutiistrinces,
the school fund, under the prudent and skillful
_administraiion of the present Commissioners.
has, the past year, yielded the same amount of
means for diffusing the lilessings of education
among the children of the State. as was furriisli-
ed during the previous year. The capital ofthe
fund amounts to 8.‘2.0I4.3-*3-I 87; and the
amount of revenue arising from it and paid into
llle Treasury the past year. amounts to the
sum of ~‘I>'l2<I,S90 50. This sum has enabled
the commissioner to continue to the various
_commo\n schools tlirongliout the State, the sum
oforie dollar and fort.y cents, or) each child
enumerated, auiountiiig to the sum of»-S118,-
49G. and exceeding the largest dividend that
has been distributed to the schools in any for-
mer year, by more than one thousand dollars.
The whole iiuniber of children between tlieages
of-I and 16 years. according, to the enumeratiori
in August last, is eighty fotir thousand six hun-
dred and forty,exclusive of fifty seven belonging
to districts which could not receive a dividend,
on account oftlicir school not being kept accord-
iiig to law. The condition of the School fund
will be more fully developed by the report
which is to be submitted to you by the Com-
tnissioiier.
Under the provisions of an Act of Congress,
approved September 4. 1811, entitled "An Act
to appropriate the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands, and to grant preeuipiion rights,”
I have deemed it my duty to receive from the
Treasury ofthe United State the sum of$l2.-
380 70, the sum found due to this State as her
share ofthe proceeds ofthe sales of the public
lands, accruing between the 1st ot January and
the 29th of August. 18-12, and have catised the
same to be deposited in the Treasury of the
State, subject to your order. As the mostjust
and equitable way of disposing of this sum of
money. I would suggest that it be added to and
made a part of the School Fund, and the income
thereof applied towards the support of the coin-
mon schools.
4 Under the faithful and judicious manage-
ment of the officer having charge of the
State Prison at Vtfethersfield, the affairs of
that institution, during the past year, have
continued to‘ prosper. The whole amount of
the earnings of that Institution, for the
year ending the 3 lst of March last, was $18,-
089 40 and the expendititures for the some
period amounted to the sum of $l2,0?.O I5.
leaving a nett income of‘$6,069 05 .for .the
use of the public Treasury. The discipline
ofthe prison continues to be of that excellent
and most desirable character, which, tvliildit
effectually punishes crime, tends also to pro-
duce a salutary reformation in the offender.
Especitt lly does this remark _apply to the
younger portion ofthe convicts, many of
whom at the expiration of their sentt-nces,go
into the world with morals so far improved
as to render them good citizens and deserv-
ing the confidence and respect ofthe cotnniu-
nity. The Directors and ‘Wardens, I am
gratified to learn, have for some time past,
_employ,__ed as large a number of the convicts
as possible, upon such branches of labor, as
‘would least confiic‘. with the mechanical in-
terests ofthe State. And I trust the time is
_not for distant when convict. labor will entire-
ly cease to be brought into competition with
the labor of our worthy, enterprising and in-
dustrious mechanics. The report of the
VVarden and Directors, which will be laid
before you, will furnish _i_ni'or.mation more in
detail than is here prese,nted, and will enable
you to deterriiine whether additional legisla-
.tion on this subject is demanded by the pub,-
lic interests.
The condition of otir Banking institutions,
and the manner in which they have been
conducted the past year, will be fully iiiazle
known to you by the Report of the Brink
Commissioners. The suggestion by those
pflicers of any reform in existing laws on the
subject of Banks, will deserve. as it will
doubtless receive, the favorable consideration
of the General Assembly.
By the provisions ofa Resolution adopted
by the General Assembly in thexyezir 1837,
a sum not exceeding‘ twenty five hundred
dollars annually, was appropriated and pla-
ced at the disposal ofthe Governor, for the
education of indigent deaf and dumb persons
between the ages oftwclve and twenty five
years, at the Americaii Asylum in Hartford.’
During the past 'VCllI'\St'3V€t].l.(3€l'l pupils have
enjoyedthe benefits of this ttppropriatioo,
two of whom will leave the institution
in the course of the present inoritli in
consequence jgof the expiration of their
term ofstudics. The arnount appropriate.-d
‘ is adequate to the support of tweiity five per-
sons—ten more than are already provided
far. The general health of the b{:‘I1l.‘"iCl«'tl'lt"S
is good, and their advancement in learning,
under the care and ttiition ofthe distinguish-
ed Principal ofthe Institution is as rapid as
could justly be expected. The Directors of
the Asylum, ata recent meeting, passed a
resolution changing the lower limit of the
age for the admission of pupils, to ei}-_'hl years
instead of twelve. Their pt'irit:ip'r.-l object
was to provile for cei'ta,in ex_tren_ic cases.
such as those oforphaus, or very poor chil-
drcn, who may often require the benefits of
such it pt‘o'.'islon_ earlier than others. In
this respect I deem the alteration an import»
ant one,‘aiid ll‘let'elOl‘C rcconinierid that it cou-
stitute the basis of an amendment to the Res-
olution ofthis State on that subject. ln the
want of your coiicurretice in this recouiiucn-
d.-ition, it may bcconie necessary for you to
provide that public beneficiaries adniittcd
under the age of l\\'t“l\‘g years, may, at the
discretion of the coinmissioiier h:iving charge
of lheuiatt-‘r, remain at the Asylum for a
larger period than is now provided by law.
I cannot too strongly urge upon yoti the
necessity of making further provision for the
relief of the Insane Poor ofour State. Pur-
suant to a recommendation contained in my
last annual message, the General Assembly
bcneficently appropriated the sum of two
thousand dollars, annually, towards the sup
port ofthat; most tinfortuuate class of our
citizens, at the R».-treat for the Insane. As
the Commissioner to carry into effect the
objects of this apprcpifiation, soon after the
adjournment of the last regular session, en-
tered into an arr:tngem_ent with the officers
of that institution for the support of the pub’
lic beneficiaries at two dollars and fifty cents
eacli,“per week. Under this contract, orders
have already been issued in favor of thirty
persons; and several applications have been
presented upon which I have not had time
to take any definite action. Of the whole
number, two have died and two others have
becn discharged. Six have been inmates
of the Retreat for a period of from fotir to
twelve years, and although et‘:jtJyll]g‘ com-
fortable bodily health, have long been derm-
ed incurable. Six others constitute a class
of hopeless cases, all of whom, with one ox-
ccption, have been admitted during the past
year: one of them has been dt-ranged more
than two _ve:.irs—t-.vo are cases of servile in-
sanity which is never cured, and the other
three are in ft hopeless state ofmcnlal imbe-
cility. Five others cotistitutea class of hope-
loss cases,’ one lias been in the R-cti‘r>at one
tear and is mticli i:uproved—-—anotber was
admitted in August last, and is also much
improved; the remaining three, though much
improved, present strong evidence of incura-
ble organic lesions. Eight others constitute
a class of cases whose advanced convales-
cence affords satisfactory evidence that a
cure will be r-flected : three of them have al-
ready been. or soon will be discharged ; a
fourth will leave at the expiration of histerrn
of three months. It is impossible to ‘fix up-
on the time whrn the remaining fotir will
be in a situation to leave the institution, on
account of the recent period of their admis-
sion. The expense incurred by the State for
the support oftht-se persons, since the pass-
age of the Resolution authorising it, has been
. . By information recently com-
municated by the Physician at the Retreat,I
regret to lea rn. that of the "large number of
insane persons in the State who are justly
the olijects of public charity, forty only, with
existing arrangements, can be perniauently
furnished with accommodations at that insti-
tution. Such a State ofthings is much to be
deplored and ought not to be longer tolerated
ll]‘,l.l]lS etiliglitened corrirriiinity.
Several ofout‘ sister states have already
provided comfortible asylums for their in-
sane paupers, with the most gratifying re-
sults. And will Connecticut with all her
boasted resources and advantages, longer
hesitate to go forward in ‘the same benevo-
lent and God-like work ? Will she contin-
ue to see that wretched portion of her popu-
lation, who are sufl°erin_<__r under the greatest
of human woes, confined in loathsome cells
and dungeons, and deprived of all the com-
forts of life, while she has means so abund-
ant at her command to relieve them? A
perniririent appropriation of five thousand dol-
larsa year for the support of otir insane
poor at the Retreat for the Insane would I
have reason to believe, offer to the proprie-
tors of that institution a sufficient inducement
to erect the necessary additional buildings to
accommodate all who might deserve the be-
nificence of the State. I commend this
whole subject to your humane and gem-2_1'o,us
considerat_iot_1. '
Vile have reason to congratulate ourselves
and the public at large upon the happy con.-
sequences which have resulted to the State
from tlieacts and deliberations of the last
General Assembly. Especially have we
cause to rejoice that our statute book has
ceased to be stained with a law ivhicli, how-
ever well intended, by treating honest; pover-
ty as a crime, and punishing it as a felony,
was a palpable invasion of the rights of per-
sonal liberty, and at war with the spirit of
our Republican Institutions.
I have thus, in obedience to the require-
ments ofthe constitution, briefly made known
to you the condition ofthe State, and sugges-
ted for your con,sid,eration, such measures as
I deemed best. calculated to subservethe pub-
lic interests. But coming as you do fresh
