THE PARDONING POIVER.
I would here agitin refer to the subject- of
pardons, for whic applications will be press—
ed upon your attention. There may be cases
of sentences of undue severity, and perh'aps
others where the pardoning power maybe
exercised without injury to the commumty,
but they are rare. - hirty-four conv1cts have
been pardoned during the past three years—,-
Three of them have since died, and_ nothmg
has been heard from twelve others s1nce they
left the prison. 0f the remaining nineteen,
six are now, or have been, sufi‘crlngimpnson-
ment for recent crimes, although not g1ven
from oficial data—is believed to be correct;
and taken» in connection with well-known
facts, leads 'us to conclude that a large
proportion of convicts . who are released
from ..the penalties of the law, by the
legislative clemency, continue a course of
crime against the. State, and are unworthy of
the high boon which has been conferred.—
They have been convicted only where proof
has been so clear and positive as to leave no
doubt of guilt; and it would appear reasona-
ble that the General Assembly should be can-
tions and guarded in granting petitions for
pardon—especially when those petitions are
supported only by experts testimon of a
negative Character—lest they d1m1n1sh' the.
respect due to the claims of law, and fa1l to
shield those who are controlled by its provis-

HOSPITALS.
The number of State beneficiaries at the
Retreat for the Insane, on the first day of
April, was one hundred and nine; at the
American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb,
thirty-nine. at the Perkins Institution and
Massachusetts Aslum for the Blind, six. The
reports from these institutions, respectipg
these beneficiaries, are favorable. No further
appropritions to sustain them will be required
the present year.
The General Hospital Society has had, du-
ring the year, one hundred and ninety-eight
patients—one hundred and eleven of whom
were received from thirty-three different
towns, and have been aided by an appropria-
tion 081,779 28 from the state. The average
cost of each patient to the State has been $2 01
per week, while the average expenses to the
Hospital have been over $3 per week.—
Patients have been successfully treated for
various diseases, much suffering has been re-
lieved, and a good proportion of inmates
cured and discharged afterhaving been in the
Hospital for a period averaginv less than
eight weeks each. Most; if not all of the at-
tendance and valuable services of surgeons
and physicians has been gratuitously render-
ed. -
The Hartford Hospital is not yet open for
the reception of patients. The building has
benefit and il’nportancc to the public, and
could not now be dispensed with. They
have been constructed with private capital,
aided by gran is from the state, of the franchi-
ses embraced in their several charters.—
T_he stockholders naturally desire a remuner-
ation for their investment, while. the State
aims to promote the convenience, and in-
crease the business, ofthe people. These ob-
jects are highly proper—are consistent with
the interests of all parties—and may be, in a
great measure, secured by harmonious action.
While it is the duty of the legislature to lend
its influence to secure favorable results to the
stockholders, it. is also its duty to confine the
actions of these corporations within the chan-
nels of a legitimate businem, and to guard
against.. c0111b111at1ons inconsistent with pub-
lic policy.
BANKS.
The general condition of our Banking In-
stitutions variesbut little from that of last
year. Some have not fully recovered from
the cmbarassments of 1857. Yet, as far as
the ublic is interested, they are in a sound
con 1t10n; their currency is promptly redeem-
ed at their own counters, and at the two
great centres of commercctand they are able
to furnish all necessary banking facilities for
the business of the state.
The able report of the Bank Commissioners
shows very clearly that the evils which have
resulted'from the management of these insti-
tutions have been caused by evading the re-
quirements of the law, or by turnm aside
from a regular and systematic course 0 'legiti-
mate business. With a clear perception of
these ‘ evils they have suggested remedies
which are worthy of our attention.
There are in the Site seventy-
three Banks with an aggregate
capital of $21,626,167
A circulation of 7,703,996
Deposits amounting to 5.463540
Specie amounting to 950,188
S ecie funds deposited in Boston and
ew York for the redemption
their bills 2,935,054
There are also thirty seven SavmgsBanks,
and twenty-seven Savings and Building As-
ciations. with deposits amountmg to $18,132;-
820 32, being an increase, for the year of. $2,-
212,128. Under the influence of the law rela-
ting to Savings and Building Associations,
passed in 1858, all but five of these Associa-
tions are closing up their business without
anticipating loss to depositors.
AGRICULTURE
The State Agricultural Society is commu-
nicating valuable information to the public,
relating to improvements in agriculture, and
in the mechanic arts, by reason of which the
farmer and artisan are stimulated to a more
intelligent, systematic and profitable prosecu-
tion of the various branches of business,
through which the wealth of the state is aug-
mented. For this and other reasons it may
be wise to increase the appropriation for the
benefit of the society to the amount fonnerly
made.
In connection with this subject, I would
call your attention to the existence of a con-
ta 'ousdisease among cattle near the borders
0 this State, the spreading of which is caus-
ing great alarm among intellilgcnt agricultu-
turists and cattle breeders. o remedy has
vet been discovered for the disease. The
Legislature of Massachusetts has adopted
measures to arrest its further progres, but it
cannot now be full determined whether
these will be success 111. Its spread among
the cattle of this state would cause immense
loss; and it is left with you to judge wheth-
er or not the subject demands legislative ac-
tion.
STATE RIGHTS—SLAVERY.
The relation which this Commonwealth sus-
tains to the Federal Union, as one o
the. constituent members of the Govern-
ment—afi‘ected, as it is, by that relation, 1n
its prosperity and its character, furnishes the
only apology which I shall offer for referrmg
briefly, to a single topic of national policy.
The settlement of questions appertaining to
the powers of the General Government over
slavery, so as to produce tranquility through-
out the nafion, has hitherto baffled the efforts
‘of our wisest patriots and ablest statesmen.—
However desirable such a settlement may be,
it can, never be accomplished so long as the
exercise of those powers interferes with the
sovereignty of the states, or conflicts with the
well established views of right and just1ce
entertained b the people. -
Up to the time of the adoption of the Fed-
eral Constitution, the states were severally
independent; each possessed supreme power;
but- passing through the exciting period'of
the revolutmn, experience had taught them
that dangers were to be apprehended from
rivalry, from jealousy, and from the conflicts
ing interests likely to dictate and control their
policy. They had also learned their individ-
ual resources were inadequate for protection
against common and powerful enemies. For
the purpose, therefore, of guarding against
such dangers, and of forming a more perfect
union establishing justice and securing the
blessings of liberty to themselves and their
children, each state parted 'with a specified
portion of its sovereignty, and placed it in the
been erected and fitted at an expense of $50,-
000+$40.000 of which were contributed by
benevolent citizens of Hartford—the remain-
ing $10,000 being donated by the state. The
institution will soon be in possession of amu-
nificent bequest from a public spirited citi-
zen, (the late David Watkinson,) of $40,000,
the income of which is to be expended for
the support of the poor and sick of Hartford.
No provision is made for the admission of in-
digcnt patients from other parts of the state.
This object can be secured, hOWever', by aju-
dicious appropriation from the state, which
would be a better and more economical way
ofproviding for the poor and homeless who
are suffering from pain and disease, than
leaving them to be supported by the towns.
The claims of Christianity and suffering hu-
manity unite to justify such an appropriation.
I trust that neither this communication nor
any undue desire to economise the state ex-
penses, will lead to the curtailment of our
public charities. With an increasing popula-
tion, we have reason to anticipate an
increase in the number of those to whom
God has denied the ordinary blessin of life,
and visited‘them with infirmities an sorrow.
They are entitled to our sympathies and to
our benefactibns. To withhold these is to
disregard the law of love; to ant them is
humane and Christian, and W1] redound to
our honor and dignity as astate.
' THE mm'rm,
The Reports of the Adjutant General, and
of the Quarter'MasteriGeneral, will be sub-
mitted to your consideration. The active
militia embraces two thousand five hundred
and ninety-"eight men, rank and file, and the
enrolled, an additidnal-nurnb'er of forty-nine
thousand one hundred and thirt -seven.
The cost of sustaining the'mil tia has been
16,339 05—whi'ohfis-‘a reduction? of $12,764,-
.5 from the preceding year, and ‘has been
caused principally by a modification of the
law which formerly required an encampment
and drill of 3 days. There has been received
for the military commutation tax $9,779 37.
Two companies have been disbanded, and
no new company organized during the vear.
Under a law of 1859, a board of officers was
appointed to prepare a system of general reg-
ulations for the government of the 'militia ;
but no report has been received, and other
provisions of the laws of that year would
seem in a measure to supercede the necessi-
ty for such a report. '
An act for forming and conducting the 11111-
tary,‘force, passed at the last session of the
General Assembly, provided that all charges
preferred against a field. commissioned or
staff officer, and requiring a Court martial
should be submitted to the Commander in
Chief, and that he should order a Court, or
decline taking‘action, as he should judge the
pause suflicient or insufficient to warrant
such proceeding. I regarded the passage of
the law as indicating a desire on the part of
the people to suppress all,courts martials.
This consideration, together with the large
expenses ‘of such courts, and the light penal-
ties inflicted for military offences, induced
me to decline 'orderin the trial of officers
then' under arrest, an also of Others against 1
whom charges have since been preferred.

RAILROADB.
.The general Railroad Commissioners re-
rt that there has been no addition to the
lace of Railroad during the past year, that
the whole length of road within the State is
six hundred and two miles, and the total
cost $29,861,532_04, of which $18,727,717 31
has been paid in. The gross income has
been. $3,527,903 79 which is an increase of
$409,921 64, The net Income has been $1;
221,797,51, or four or cent on the cost, show
ing an iricrease of 175,392 59.
The Commissioners. report the roads as
having been Conducted With increased econ-
om , with convenience to the public, and
wit .out the logs of life of a single asscnger.
These facts, taken in connection w1th the at-
tention which has been, given to the road-
beds—the renewal of rails, and the repairs
and reconstruction ofbridgesshowsa gradual
improvement in roads and their manage-
,meut. Man _ who engaged in the build 0‘
of these rai roads sustained great persona
hands of the general overment,'to be exer-
cised on] as defined 1n the Federal Consti-
tution. hat instrument, which consecrated
guarded from the use of the words, “ slave’
or slavery”; and when men are referred to
otherwise than as freemen, they are called
“persons.” As such they are represented
and taxed, and delivered up, owing service.
The testimony is abundant that this compact
was made with the idea that slavery was an
evil to be tolerated, until the efforts and wis-
dom of man should cooperate with Divine
Providence to open a way for its termination.
Slavery was regarded then as a subject over
which the general government had no control
except so far as the constitution authorized
the rendition of fugitives from servic r la—
bor, the regulation of commerc be-
tween the states, and' the prohibition of the
migration, or importation, (after the year
1808,) of such persons as the states. then
thought proper to admit. All the. power
granted was prohibitor ud was early ex-
ercised by the governm to prevent the ex-
tension of slave into any of the territory
over which it 1111 jurisdiction. Some of the
states abolished the system within their sever-
al boundaries, while others adopted the meas-
ures to make broader and deeper its founda-
tions, and more secure its superstructure.—
This exercise of the powers of the several
states, and of the general government, re-
spectively, was, for a long period, acquiesced
in by men of all parties as a' correct and true
exposition of constitutional provisions on this
subject.
But now it is openly declared that it is the
normal condition of society,founded upon the
principles of God’s law, and designed, a (1
calculated to be a blessing to both races. c‘
are even congratulated upon what is claimed
to bc a final settlement of a question which
gives every citizen a right to take his proper-
ty, including slaves, into the common territo-
ry, and have it protected there, under the fed-
eral constitution, beyond the powder of any
human authority to annul that right.
If such a power is vested in the federal gov-
ernment, whether it is derived from the ‘on-
stitution, or the law of nature, the national
guardianship over slaves and slavery must be
as extetendcd as the jurisdiction of the gov»
crnment: and, if this guardianship is to be
exercised for the protection of property in
slavecs, in the territories, it must define the
social relations which exist between the
slaves and their masters, and may also be ex-
ercised for the same objects in states where
municipal laws fail to give that protection, or
to define those relations.
Slavery thus becomes a national system,
to be defined and protected by statute law, or
undermined and destroyed by unfriendly leg-
islation at the discretion of the national
Congress.
Such a doctrine, nourished until it shall
bring forth its legitimate fruits, interferes with
the domestic institutions, and with the social
relations, of the citizens of the several states,
strikes a fatal blow at state sovcrci 11ty, perils
the interests and stability of the '11ion and
must result in the overthrow of the liberties
of the people. '
For the purpose of sustaining principles so
directly atwar with the recordedviews of the
framers of the Constitution, and of giving per-
manency to the system of human bondage,
we have recently seen men arrested and im-
prisoned, for holding and uttering different
opinions, their social and business relations
broken up and themselves expelled from
their homes. Laws have been enacted which
drive free persons from their kindred, and
the places of their birth or consign them and
their posterity to perpetual servitude. A 11a-
tional code has been demanded which shall
protcbt and extend the system. The legisla-
ture of a confederated state has afflm1ed the
right to secede from the Union-whenever she
ma. 4 think it expedient to do so, and she has
inv1ted other statesto meet by representatives
in convention to condert measures for united
action thereunto. Treasonable sentiments
have been 0 nly proclaimed in the halls of
the Nations Congress; and, on the floor of
that body, it has been declared that the elec-
tion of a President, representing opinions in
lossesoyet the roads are ofalmost incalculable

visions of the Constitution) will of itself be a
suflicient cause for secession, or fora dissolu-
tion of the Union.
It is hardly necessary to say that the frec-
mcu of Connecticut. emphaticaly repudiate
such dangerous and revolutionary sentiments
and all action so utterly inconsistent with thr-
m'st principles of Constitutional liberty——
They hold that. slavery cxisfs by the arbitary
exercise of the reserved and assumed rights
of the states, and as thus established, sister
states and the Federal Government are alike
separated, as by an impassable gulf, from any
right, legally or forcibly, to interfere there-
with. «
W'hile ultcrly condemning all armed fitnaf—
ieal invasions into states which interf'ercwilb
their sovereignty, and disturb their domestic
- peace, as acts meriting the. just penalty of
violated law, the people of this state believe
that slavery “is an evil which has prayed upon
the very vital of the Union, and has been
prejudicial to all the states in which it has
existed;” that it “discourages arts and manu-
factures;" “places obstacles in the. Way of
universal education ;” “establishes false esti-
mates of virtue and vice,” and“stains'the very
source of moral principle.”
Entertaining-these opinions they feel called
upon by the magnitude of the interests
already involved—interests which are aug-
menting year by year as this nation presses
on towards maturity—to enter their solemn
protest against the assumption. and exercise,
of powers, by the General Government, for
the protection of slavery in the‘common ter-
ritories, or-for perpetuating the system; and
they feel jusufied 1n adopting all constitution-
91 measures to preventvthc extension of an
1nstitut1on whmh can only be sustained by a
censorslnp of the press, by interrupting the
legal channels of intelligence, and by enact:
mg laws which are in conflict with the nut-
ural‘rtghts of men, and in violation of those
pr1nc1plcs of eternal justice which are of uni-
versal application, and which reach back of,
and are anterior, to any human code. They
are, and ever have been devotedly attached
to the Federal Union, but believe that loyalty
to the General Government cannot be main-
tained in any section of our country unless
the people can freely, fully and fearlessly, dis-
cuss the’ principles upon which it is founded,
and on which it must be sustained. They
will vindicate themselves before the world,
in embracing every offered opportuni to in-
fluence the administration of the ederal
Government, so as to accomplish the mission
which God designed this nation should fullfil
—the establishment and extension of the bles-
sings of‘ freedom, civilzation and Christianity.

,MEssus. EDITORS :-—It seems that you are
aware of the fact of the organization of a
new Episcopal Society in Westport. It may
interest you to learn something in regard to
the Church edifice about to be erected. Per.
mit 111e, however, to correct. an error into
which you have fallen. You think Westport
is too small a place to support two Episcopal
Churches—to the casual observer it might
seem so. There are few towns in this locali-
ty where u 111ajorlty, or even a respectable
minority, of the people are. in the habit of at-
tending Church. W estport has a population
of about five thousand, yet the Church going
portion will not average six hundred the year
round. Westport is not. an exception to the
general rule. In order to bring people out to
Church—I am not speaking now of the roll-
gious portion—you must hold out some in-
ducement. In the first place, and most’im-
portant you must have a man of ability to
preach. Secondly, you must see that people
are accommodated wlth seats, and whenever
strangers attend let them know that you are
glad to see them. Lastly, but not the least
important, it. is necessary that you should
have good music. ,
The new Episcopal Church is to be erected
upon one of the most beautiful sites in town.
It is to be built in the Gothic style and of
stone. An organ has already been ordered
for it, and is now being built by that best of
organ makers, Urban of New York, which
for size and quality will be second to none in
this State. It is expected that the music of
the new Church will be, of a superior order.
I should mention, in this connection, that Mr.
Ernest Perring, said to be the best English
tenor living, is now permanently located here
and will assume the leadership of the Choir.
He is not only a very superior tenor, but is
also a splendid Organist. Mr, R. H. Winslow
is the head and front of this enterprise, as he
is of every other in this town which promi-
ses to be of public benefit. He is never un-
willing to give his money and his influence
to promote good objects. It is a good thing
to be rich, but it is better to be rich and use
money for the benefit of others. There are
many people in this town who, although
they differ from Mr. Winslow in politics, can-
not but admire his liberality as a man and as
a citizen. L.

The Wide Awake Gathering at New Ha-
. van.
The torchlight procession by the , Wide
niflcent scene, defying adequate description.
There were large deleu'at-ions from Hartford,
Meriden, Brid cport, orwich, New London,
Waterbury, erby, Hamden, Fair Haven
and other places, with the New Haven I‘Vide
Awakcs, turning out over 2000 torches, with
a dozen or so of excellent bands. All were
in uniforms and marched with military pre-
cision. Thousands upon thousands thronged
the streets to see and admire, and the line
was constantly cheered by the shouts of men
and the waving of‘handkerchiefs by fair hands
along the whole route, while pyrotechnic
Isplcndors blazed on the principal streets, and
numerous buildings were illuminated.
They marched prett much all .over that
wide-spread city. hcn they came upon
the Green, in front of the Tontine, the long
lines, four abreast, winding in bewildering
and fiery curves, entirely across the Green,
back and forth, the bands playing, rpckets
whizzing, and a splendul pyroteclm1c dis-
play exhibiting the mottos of “Buckingham
and “Wide Awakes,” the scene was truly
magnificent. A bountiful collation was pro—
vided at Liberty Hall, furnished chiefly by the
fair LADIES on NEW Haves, whose contri-
butions were so liberal that enough for an
army remained after the immense throng
had finished. The long march had sharpen-
the filed in with deafening cheers for the
ladlcs and took hold with a zest.
In due time the different bands began to
add their music to the pleasures of the occa-
sion, and the Waterbury Band, Colt’s Band,
and others gave an excellent display of their
powers. The Hartford’Cornet Band capped
the climax with “ The Wide Awake Quick-
step" played finely.
There have been longer processions, and
perhaps gygreater number of torches in line,
but the his Awake organization, with its
military drill, simple and effective uniform,
and solid mass of 11 ht—every man carrying
f alamp equal in bnlliancy to four ordinary
torches—throws all the torchlight proee s-
sions of former times into the shade, and they
seem the mere freaks of a disorderly rabble
compared with the regular evo.utions and
solid columns of the Wide Awakes. Hence-
fonh no torchlight procession will be thought
worth looking at compared with these.

ult., after a very brief illness, Mrs. Sail
Raymond, relict of the late Jabez Ra on
and great grand daughter of Gov. . mas.
Fitch, aged 76 years.
It rarely falls to the lot of any-lady in the
more quiet walks of life, to draw around her,
and preserve unbroken through so many
years, so large a circle of ardent friends.
Hers was a warm and genial nature, and a
cheerful and happy old ago, made beautiful
by her christian urbanity and simplicity of
character. . _
Her society was equally wglcome and
agreeable to the aged and the young: and
little children instinctively delighted them-
selves in her presence.
Amid the cares, sorrows, and changes of a
long life, she maintained a remarkable uni-
formity, and the gentle current of her cheer-
ful nature, roll’d steadily on. For nearly
the M. E. Church; and her house has been
the home of many a weary and care-wom-
Itinerant; some of whom have gone before
her, and will doubtless’welcome her “into3
everlasting habitations ;" While-many remain
behind to mourn her loss. _
Though strong in her denominational at-
tachments, she was remarkably free from.
sectarian bigotry: and preserved through
many years, a noble catholicity. Members
her truest friends, and now remain with her,
chiefest mourners. A very large concourse
of citizens followed her remains to the grave,_
thus testifying their profound respect and sor-
row. And many—as they bedew’d the place”
of her rest with their tears of affection, and
solibed out a. final farewell—turned away,
feeling that more than a friend was lost,
when “Aunt Sally” was buried.
“Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the
death of his Saints."

DR. HANSON’S VEGETABLE CHEMICAL POWDERS
lLL break up colds at once, without sweating, di-
eting, interruption of business, or the use of hot,
stimulating, and burning compounds, herb, teas, can-
dies, balsams, 01- any other disagreeable inconvenient
and nauseating doses ; they do not cause the least un-
pleasant symptoms—even iftaken in large doses, they
create only a thirst, which being alloyed with water,-
1111 agreeable warmth 11nd moisture at the surface is
soon experienced. When taken as directed, they break
up the cold and arrest effects, and the only operation
perceived is a. mysterious and unaccountable disap-
pearance of all symptoms, as feverishncss, chllls,lp_me-
ness, darting pains, dull heavy pains, tightness of the
chest, hoaracness, cough, sore throat, croup, catarrh,

r111; VEGETABLE CHEMICAL POWDERS are to colds
what Vaccination is against Smull‘i’ox and Quinine for
Ague. They area specific remedy for the prevention
and cure of a specific disease. And by breaking colds
with them the system is not weakened and deranged
ahd<rendered more subject to repeated attacks, but is
rather strengthened and fortified against them. They
arrest croup instantly and permanently, and by their
timely use, coughs, catarrh, bronchitis; fevers, rlbu-
