One of the first duties of the Legiilllturc
be, to examine. with great deliberation and can-
tiou, all bills forpublic acts. ()_ur legulsys-~
teni is the work of ages, and‘ is liable tobe ma-
terially injured by hasty and ill advised legis-
latiou. Several statutes of recent date are ob-
viously defective, and need’ correction. None
should attempt to amend the law to" any consid
erable extent, without ..thc qualifications of

ong experience, profound learning, uutiriug
caution, and keen sighted sageeity. ‘ ' '

By a statute of the last _ecssion_,_eli important
change was made in the law regarding the se-
curity'ordi‘seharge of debts and liab'ilitics.'—.
The policy of_o_u_r system ofjur_isp_ru_dcnc_e had
previously been to allow the most perf’ectfre'c-
dom of action, both to the creditor and;debtor,_
provided the transaction was not eolituminiited
with fraud. 'l‘he former could, by superior
vigilance, obtain u_.priorit'y of 's'e’curity-—the
iatter could ‘apply his moucyor ,meaus,to the
satisfaction or security of any just‘ claim,with-
out regard to his other liabilities’. The" object
‘of the law of 1853,‘ was to secure 'a ' more
equitable distribution of the assets. of? an, inaol-, ,
vent ‘debtor, and tliis re6.Il1t.lvould undoubtedly
be produced by it. But‘ it may ' well be ques-
tioned whether the restraint ‘which it imposes
on business tl;aneuctiolis,'the obstacles which it
present to obtaining. pecuniary _.a_id, the inse-
curity which it gives to t_itl_e_s,_ and the el_lc_oura-
agement it holds ou_t_ to unthrifty tradesmen, to
provide for themselves? out ‘of the wreck of their
property, by taking advantage of .the law, do
not more-than counterbalance, all-the benefits
whichcali be,_'e_xpe'_cted to accrue from it’. In
my judgment it needs, at least, some important

amendments: " ‘ ’ ' . ~ ‘

Much of the time of the Legislature, has for
many yearsbeen occupied _,iu_ Rforuling private
corporations. ' These combinations _of wealth
and infl "once have doubtless conti‘ibuted'la‘rg’e-
ly- to-the wealth and . prosperity ‘of the State.
But everythingwhich is ppwerful to do good,
will, if perverted, be a dangerous .ilistr.uinei_it
to do evil. Every ,cllarter' of ‘incorporation
- ought to be strictly -scrutinized, and effectual-
ly restricted to ritsepproprlate. object. 7 _

Of such Corporations, .-the most -proinine'n_t-
are Banks. _ These associations in this "State
have, with few’ c‘xceptio’ns,"'furniplléd ‘ is‘ safe
currency, and havematerlally "contributed. to.-
the ‘general’ prope_i;_ty.: ."I'he, report of the «COIll--
missiouers will , lit aperticular account "of.
their present condition’. ,',The idea which has
prevailed, to some extent, that those Corpora-
tions are particularly beneficial to tIle'rich,ls a,
mere delusion. So farle. this from the truth
that where they confine. their operati_'ons,_ to
their appropriate business, they prevent the
monopoly of wealth--they enable industry, "en-'
crgy. and integrity, without pecuniary ability,
to compete successfully with riches and influ-
ence. Many of our most wealthy citizenswere
enabled to‘ enter upon a course of business;
which carried theulou to affluence, by the facili-
ties afforded to them, when without a dollar,
.by banking institutions. But” aresort to‘ dis-.
reputable practices in procuring charters, favo-
ritism in distributingstock‘, partiality in grun-
ting accomlil'odetions,- and the withdrawal of
capital, for the sake of iucreasin dividends
from its legitimate use, all of whic are believ-
ed to have,to some extent prevailed, have bro’t
.a degree of‘ odiulu of these-institutions which
does not properly belonging to.th,eni. , .

It is much to be regretted, that there should
have been any just ground of complaint against '
institutions of such ' general’ benefit. As no]
specific law.-has heretofore existcdon the sub-
ject, it would be unjustto impose penalties for
,what is passed; but it is important that the
Legislature should provide fortlle future, for‘
‘the necessities of business". There is the’ stron~.
gest temptation tojmeke improper investments,
and to make unjust distinction in _gr_a_utiug fa-,
cilities, when the’ need’ of accommodations is
the rcatest. l‘iu'auel'ul elilbiirralismeuts areof‘
continual recurrence,-and-‘may. be ascribedpet-.
haps as much to a want, of caution in banking

lawlcques-, the rapid incl ease of population,
the_c coiitrlltiou of, it ill cities and villages,
and ‘ _' convulsions that threaten wars of long

The balance ill the Treasury of the State. on
the-31st of March, 1853 was $54,675 94. The
balance April 1st, 1854 was $56,289 l3—show-
ing an inereaseof $1,553 19. The judicial ex-
penses the past. year were $44,035 51, being an
increase over those of‘ the preceding year of
about $8000. Thiswas owing in part at least
to the repeal of the law, which imposed the cost
il_i ccrtain (:]‘llIllllal cases upon towns and coali-
lles. ' _ ‘

Tllcluubje-,ct.of»j udicial ,expeliscs,is. one which
deserves much cxauiinatioll.’ Little restraint
is generally. imposed by conscientious scruples,
where money can be extgrat-.tcd.f'rom the public
treasury. Possibly the appoiutincnt of an au-
ditor, whosc dutyit should be to examine and
allow _all hills which he should deem legal, and
report all claims of a doubtful character to the
General Assembly, might be some security.‘ A
subject, however, of far greater ii'nportan‘ce in
relati ' to courts, is the. delay of trial, in civil
cases”, The hardship resulting from this cause

:is so great, as to induce the Lcgislaturejat the
last session to give priority to cases of‘ a cor-
tcin character. It is manifest, however, that
this only aggravates the evil in other instances.
Although: the number of terms in the different
courts have been froili time to time increased,
no relief has yet been experienced. In particu-
lar cases, the result of delay is, loss of testimo-
ny, increased expensc of litigation, and pro-
lollged anxiety as to the issue. But the great-
est cvil to the colnluuuity consists in the post-
ponement of other cases, most of which would
be terminated at once if they could be reached.
The consequence is, thatrpurties are kept out
of‘ their money or otlie_i° property, business is
embarrassed, the estates of deceased and insol-
vent-persons are prevented from being settled,
and a‘ eneral dissu,tisf'a_ctiou with the laws is
occasi lied. In view of these facts I do not
hesitate to‘ recommend an addition to t|lclnuiu-
her ol'the--judges of tlle:Sliprc_me and Superior
Courts. The additional expense of salllries

would be more than coinpensated by the dc-
creascof judicial expenses. 1 have no doubt
that the plirties to cases which are thus delay-

ed, would cheerfully, if they could, contribute

Kcnou to pay all the expense of‘. the addition-
al ju gets. The evil however, could not be ell-

itirel rcmovetl witllout a radical alteration of

our judicial system. From an amount of expe-
u-ieuéur and ob~:er\'iitioli, ' which few of my fel-

.l0W'Cl,3lZf,3"l_l5 have had, I am confident that im-

mediate llild effectual relief’ would be obtained

by abolishing all regular terms of the County

Courts, and giving to that Court‘ at such spe-

cial sessiops us may be held, exclusive jurisdic-

tion, of appeals from justices of all civil cases,
of 'a_ peculiar _clla'l-acter, now in its exclusive

—jurisdi’ctioli_, and of all criminal cases, not now
belouginglto the: exclusive jurisdiction of.the

Sllp_t_!l',l0l‘_lg30lll‘h or _of.justices of tllc‘peacc,_by

giving to the Superior ‘Court exclusive cogni-

zance of‘ all other civil suits, 'nl_i'd', estahlislling‘

judg -s of the‘ Supreme Court of Errors, quali-

ring t,w'o,sessiolls of',t_llat court to be held for

easily be made, and it is believed’ would occu-

siop,uo,V_-inconveilience if‘,proper,care should be
taken in completing the details _of it. The
special sessions or use Colin!-y Court could be

It gives me mucll pleasure to be able to ill-
form you that the State Reform School has
gone into operation, and that eighteen juvenile
offenders, of from 7 to 15 years of age are re-
ceiving thc benefits of this humane institution.
The title ofa farm of about one hundred acres
of , land, on which a large and commodious
building has been erected has been vested ill
the State. Another tract of about fifty acres,
adjoiug the former, has also been deeded to the
State, the price of‘ which, $5,062 25, has been
advanced’ by the Superintendent from his pri-
vatc means, it having become necessary to do
this, to secure the f'ulfilllnent of‘ a contract of
sale by the owner. It was of great importance
that the institution should have the elijoyuicilt
of this tract of land, and the value of it as well
as of the other tract, has already increased to
an amount considerably beyond the price paid.
But the school cannot go on successfully,
feud perhaps not at ull, without further means.
A spring of water which has been secured,
f-abundantly suflicient for a f'nll supply, must
be brought at a considerable expense by an
aqueduct, or whatever is necessary must be
brought f'roln adistance by hand. A barn and
other out-buildings are indispensable. ‘The
farm must be stocked with cattle, and the
dwelling-house, school room and appurtenan-
ces must be supplied with fixtures and furni-
turc. To reimburse the money advanced, and
to provide for the absolute wants of the school
‘will require ll somewhat liberal appropriation.
,But when it is considered that this institution
is designed and calculated to reform as well as
fito punish; to prevent crime by instilling into
-the youthful mind virtuous principles, and to
faccustom-the young to habits of industry, in-
;st‘ead, of ‘hardening their feelings by’ degrada-
,tion'.-nlid disabling tllem, by loss of - character
and loss of advantages, from gaining an honest
livelihood, it will be seen that every dollar
t ken from the treasury, will in the end he
Jnlore than refunded. Some provision ought to’
ibc made, to prevent ‘delinquents from being
sent for very short terms, during which they
would he a ,burd_en, without being bciiefitted :
to enable them to _be discharged, without
being detained for cost ; and to prohibit
magistrates from sending there. such as
are either physically unable to labor, or men-
tally incapable of impi-oveiliem. - ‘ 2 . ,

- There is another in:-:tifution which has here
toforc attracted less attention, but which is not
less worthy._ of thcfosferiug cure of the public.

The General llospitall Society has received by

legislative grants, private donations and other

sources, $20,290. They have a building, dis-
tinguishcd f'or its graceful arcllitecture, saili-
brious location,'nnd convenient accommodation
which was erected at a cost, including the price
of a large and valuable lot, on which it stands
of $13,846. This building would acconlnlo-.
date about one hundred patients- The society
has apci-maneiit fund of $10,700, yielding an
annual income ofZ'about $650. The patients
are under the care of six practising and four
consulting’ physicians and surgeons. All the
patients who have tood in need of charitable
aid, have, forinany years received constant at-
tention, uuder-tlic most favorable‘ circumstan-
ces, from men of the highest order. of talent
and skill in the medical nrofcssion. Such an

It gives me pleasure to add, that our en-

lists, have provided for the lloldiug, for
the first mile, a State Fair. in the mouth
of October next. If any and is needed to
make the occasion one of credit to ' the

There are other topics, "to" which I,
might. think it proper to direct your, at-‘
iemion, were there not two of paralllount
illlportallce, upon which deem it my
duty to present to 'you, at some length,
the views which I entertain. 'l‘ile qu.-stion
whether a law prollibiting the sale of in-.
toxiealing liquors can collstitutioilaliy be
passed, and \vlletllel' if it ‘can, it is the

best remedy for the ackllowledged evils

wlgcl, result from the sale of such liquors
is ell-gaging the altclil.lJli, noronly t':,'l‘-pills.
:a_lllilrupisl..-, but of all clilao'f.'S of citizens
in this State and elsewllere. In‘ some of
the Slates the experiment has been tried
as to the practical eflect of such in law,
and although contradictory statements
have been made by thorn who profess lo
speak from personal knowledge, the
weight of testimony is strongly" in favor
of its success. The constitutionality of
such a law has been questioned’ by men
of high legal and political staudllig.——
But after a thorough examination oflllc
question, I do not t'Ili.efi.alll tlue.»'s|i'ghlest
doubt that such ii law is llotyllllcoll ‘titu-
tioiial-—tllat, ltdoca not colltllct with any

natural rigllls which may be slupposed to
exist, prior to and superior to ally‘ cou-
slitution or-law. Experience has abun-

such a law is or is not cuilstzllltiollal.-'—
l'he clauses ill the COfl:'l.li.llt|O!| of the
United States, which have been urged
as annulling such a faw,are these: ‘fills
