and liberty loving people“ declaring in

. unmistakable" language their purpose to: y

give the General Government a firm: and
cordial suppbrt in’efl'crts‘to maintain con
'stitutional authority. , -

'As their representatives, we should.
enact and make ample provision for the
enforcement of the law which will pro-

" more general prosperity. and guard those

rights which are held in charge _by the
sovereignty of the State, and cooperate
with the general government in preserv-

Federal Constitution. .

Local interests cannot be protected un-
less we maintain the outer ' and stronger
defences of national authority, nor our
rights shielded thereby be ruthlessly as-
sailed witbout injury to private. interests.

The criminal assaults which ambitious,
arrogant and disloyal men have made
upon this authority have carried burdens,
of taxation to every State, town and vii-
lage, that have been felt by every farmer;
mechanic and laborer ; have rendered
necessary requisitions for men to augment
the army and navy ; have caused the
loss of our sons in .h0Spital-, and on vvery
battle field, and the consequent wave of
sorrow which has flowed over every fam-
ily circle. _..~
They have made suchi'new and unpre-
cedented demands upon the pecuniary
resources of the State as to increase the
expenditures of the civil list since the
year 1856 from $222,270.32 to $4.667,-
819.72 the past year, and , now instead
of exhibiting resources of interest bearing
stocks of over $400,000, with an in-
debtness of less than one-tenth of that
amount, we have a funded debt of $6,-
000,000. and unfunded of $1,249,660.

, It is difiicult to from an estimate
which’will approximate-our necessary ex»
penses for the coming .year.; , From pres-
ent indications- the military .campaign is
to be prosecuted with great vigor, and
we may anticipate 'au‘early requisiton for
more'troops. I wouldtherefore urge the
reenactment of the law authorizing the
payment of State bounties to volunteers,
which expires byits own provision on the
;"1_"6Ith inst., with such modifications as
the interests cf the service may require.
During" the present inflated condition
of the currency which ,afi'ords' a time pe-
culiarly favorable for meeting pecuniary-
obligatious, I. would recommend largely
increased taxation, and authoritv to make
loans required to supply any deficiency
for appropriations. I ~
There has been collected on the first
claim presented lo the general govern—
ment $621,700.28. This account, amount-
ing to $1,519,565 771 has been so far
audited and approved by government
ofiicers as to give confidence that the
whole amount will be collected with the
exception of interest and a few small char-
ges amounting to less than $6,000.
The supplemental accounts presented
aboutayear- ago has not yet been ap-
proved, and another is in the course of
preparation by the Adjutant General,
who, at my especial request, has assumed
this labor in addition _to'the regular du-
ties of his office.
A large amount of loans from the
school fund has been returned, and the
money re-loaned amounting to$2.049,426.
77 remains unimpaired. The income has
been distributed to the several school
districts at the rate of $1 20 for each
resident child within the prescribed ages.
The continual increase of children,
which, during the past fifteen years has
been 25 per cent. will necessitate a di-
minished dividend if made upon the same
basis. The recommendation of the Com-
missioner that the distribution be here-
after mude upon the attendance at school
would evidently be more in accordance
with the designs of those who established

its benefits, and tend to encourage and
support the general system of education.

The Superintendent of Common Schools
reports the attendemte of seventy-six
thousand two hundred and seven scholars
in 1819, public schools, taught by two
thousand and thirty seven teachers, at an
expense of $400,000 ; more than nine-
tentbs of which is derived from the in-

» come of the school and town deposit

funds, and from young men and older
boys in the higher classes has greatly
diminished, while the number of female
teachers has materially increased ,
There ‘appears to have been a genera

improvemet in the character of the schools.
The State Norman School is reported to,
be in an improved condition,‘ with an
increased attendance of those who are
qualifying themselves for teachers, ‘As a
useful institution, forming a part or Iour
system of education, it is worthy of con-
tinued support. '

"In. December last, I received. through
the Secretary of State of the Unifen
States, a communication from the Secre-
tory of Foreign Affairs of Denmark,
requesting contributions of school "apparaa
tea which would exemplify the mode of
instruction in usein Common Schools in
[the United States, for exhibition before.

gratified that their snticipatious are
being realized in the saving of some from
greater depths of vice to which they
were tending when brought to the school,
and in such a complete. reformation in
them to secure a comfortable livelihood,
as useful and respectable citizens. ,
The whole number of convicts in the.
States Prison is one hundred and thirty-
niue.;being twenty less than a year "ago-
The law which reduces the term‘ "of" _
service for good behavior, continues to
have a beneficial influence upon jtheimor
ale and character of the prisoners. The
rewardls to them one of merit, ,and. gives
them a degree of self—'respect._ Good
discipline has been preserved withoutse-
\Q’ity. . ‘
No contract for prison labor has expired
during the year, therefore no advance
in prices has been obtained. The neces-
sary supplies of the prison and of superin-
tending the prisoners have increased. so
as to make the expenditures $65131
more than the earnings.
There have been sixty-one State bene-
ficiaries admitted into the Retreat for ,
the Insane during the year, and forty-
uiue dlscharged—thirty-eight of whom
had recovered or improved. There are
one hundred and twenty-six" remaining.
This and other institutions of humani-
ty and charity, established by Christian
benevolence, as will appear by a refer-
ence to the reports of their directors,
‘have continued to be the channels-
through which the State has relieved the
necessities of many of her unfortunate
children. _ _ , - ,
Their numbers increase not only with.
the increase of population, but in conse-
quence of the anxiety and distreu. occa-
sioned by public disturbance, and. larger
appropriations are required for their relief.
Those who possessaud appreciate the
blessing of a physical and mental consti-
tutiOn which can readily be so deveIOped
as to add to their usefulness and happi-
ness, will rejoice in any judicious .eXpen-
diture which you may make. to relieve
those who are deprived of any; of "their
senses, or who are deranged or deformed
in any of their powers. . ¢-- " I
The railroad interest has been "tendon -
ed prosperous by a large increase in the"
number of passengers and in the quantity-
of freight transported. While the oper- ~
sting expenses have been .. much larger
than formerly. yet the netincome from a
paid capital of $19.042,379.3_1 has been
$1,694,730 18, which is a gain of more
than half a million of dollars over the;
amount received last year.

read is in process of construction.
The Rockville road has been comple-

During the year only three banks have

There are now seventy—two Banks of

ference between the loans, deposits. circu-
lotion and specie reported in 1863 and
the present amount.
The conservative and healthful influ
ence of our forty-eight Savings Books is
felt in the stimulated industry of our is-
boring populatiou, and in the habits of
ecouomy and saving which are manifest
in the deposits. which have increased du-
ring the year $3,807,865, and on the first

The frequent applications which have
of late been made for acts of incorpora—
tion to carry on manufacturing, and oth-
or branches of industry, induce me to re-
fer to the public act relating to Joint
Stock Corporations. Under its provis—
ion labor, capital, and genius have been
associated, and various kinds of business
prosecuted, often upon an extended scale,
with advantage to individuals and benefit
to the State.
If any amendments can be made to
the law which will not call for an unnec-
essary exposure of private interests thus
associated, and which will assure the pub-
lic that the corporations are wisely and
properly conducting their business, let
. them be adopted.
. Is it not probable that the suggestion
which I had the honor to, make to the
General Assembly in 1858, relating to a
more correct and reliable annual state—
"ment is of this character l

The experience of twenty-five years
shows that the law is based upon sound
principles, and that in order to secure
just protection to capital invested,Ior to
labor employed iu‘ordinar‘y' barium, it Is
'wholly‘uhubcessa'ry ahdimpolitic to grant
-’speci‘al‘ acts of “incorporation.

; 'All "associations:fer-conducting a bu-

to pursue, other" than a copartnerehip,
should be organized under-this statute.

connected with any company, which for-

, The‘same‘principles are involved in a
statute of this State entitled "An Act

Taxes,"-which‘-iInposes-a~ tax of three-
fourths of one per cent. upon. the stock of

banks, insurance. companies, and other

associations incorporated by, or‘ estab—
lished in this State, owned or held by
persons residing out of the State.

The stock in such corporations owned
by our citizensis entered in the lists of
towns "where they reside and is taxed
like other property for towns, city and
State purposes. In some localities the
tax imposed "upon "stock owners by resi—
dents is much larger, and in others much
less than the amount laidupon thesame-

stocks by non-resident’s. Whenever a

higher tax is imposed upon the property
of the non-resident, he is not protected in
"the privileges and immunities” of the
resident citizen. 'It is not a satisfactory
answer to one who is thus compelled to
hear an undue burden of taxation that
the amount collected of the class to which
he belongs is only equal“ to. the average
amount assessed upon residents. The
fact remains that he is not protected in,
and. does not receive all the " privileges
and immunities” to which he is entitled
underthe Constitution. '

the purpose of carrying out the intention
of the Legislature in reference to sick
and wounded soldiers have rendered im-
portant service in ministering to their
relief, in securing the transfer of many

discharge of the disabled, and in prgvi-

Repairsat the Arsenal are regarded
as important for the property stored
therein, and changes in the law, sugges-
ted for the purpose of holding militia
officers to a strict responsibility, are
found by the experience of that officer to
be necessary to save the State from heavy
losses by the issue of property from his

The great watchfulness and close
scutiny necessary to guard against the
payment of fraudulent orders added to
the large amount disbursed, has made the
position often one of painful responsibility.
The full, able and interesting report
of the Adjutant General, which will be
transmitted, embraces an account of the
organization of the volunteer forces which
have been turned over to the service of
the United States, upon the requisition
of the President ; an account of the re-
enlistment of men in the field ; the result
of the draft ordered and executed by the
general‘goverument ; the quotas assign-
ed to this State, under all calls for troops
and the number of men furnished ; as
well as oficial reports of services render—
ed in various battles, and the present con-
dition of the State Militia.
The entire military stafl‘ have perform
ed their responsible duties with such
romptness and ability as to relieve this
Department from undue anxiety, and a
tom of justice induces me to speak in
commendation of their self-denying fi-
delity to the public interests.

The draft, ordered by the President in
July to fill the army, was an incident
which excited a portion of the people to
threats and acts which produced an
alarming and critical condition in public
afl'airs, rendering necessary the adoption
of uusnal measures to maintain public or-
der.

Arms belonging to the State were eu-
"trusted to the keeping of well known pat-
riotic and responsible citizens who _ten—
dered their services "to aid in maintaining

it cannot be reasonably expected that:

levcn this small number will be retained

for any length of" time under a system
wholly voluntary, which in'_ many cases,

' requires in addition to” personal service,

expenditures of money many times larger
than is demanded of those" who avoid the
ill“?!- .' '1.

As the Major General has given spec-
ial attention to the condition of the mili-
tia, I requested him to present the results
of his observation, together with any
plan which he might have far "securing an
efficient force. H is communication will
be-transmitted for your consideration. It
clearly presents the inadequency of the
present law — the error "of, relying
wholly upon a volunteer system—the ne-
cessity of offering greater inducements
for men to enter the service, while hold-
ing them to the faithful perfOrmance of
every duty—the value of competent and
thorough instruction, and the excessive
audtunjust burdens which rest upon those
who perform the duty.

These suggestions are of great practi-
cal value, as well as the reccommends-
tion that Congress amend the conscrip-
tion act so as to exempt a certain pro-
portion of the militia from any other
than a short service. ‘

It is evident that we shall soon be with-
out- any efiicient militia unless we adopt
a system which will impose excessive bur-
dens upon those who perform the" duty or
one which can be sustained only by hea
taxatiouop those whose interests are to
be guarded. ' The latter alternative is
the true policy. ' . "
The last General Assembly at its spec-
in! session, made provision forthe pay—
ment of bounties to volunteers, by which
enlistments into the army were encourag-
ed and secured. Authority was also giv-
en the Paymaster General, to pay upon
the order of the Governor, such an
amount not exceeding ten dollars per
man as the Governor should deem prop-
er, to any party who should procure eu-
listments of men, except those already in-
the service.

As the War Department has decided
to credit those who should re—eulist on
the quota of the several states; special
age’nts were appointed and sent to the
several military departments with instruc-
tions to obtain evidence, that ’pr0per cer-.
tificates of muster, and credit were given,
and to see that ‘pr0per orders were issued
for the payment of State bounties.

The War Department, and theofficers
of the several military departments ren—
dered every facility in their power, to
secure the” object of the agencies The

result has been the enlistment of 3,347

veterans at saving of a $26, 971.77 over
and pbove the amount which would have
been paid for procuring the same number
of new recruits. The payment of bounties
was authorized on condition that velun -
teers should be-accredited to: the towns
where they are enrolled, cr'have their
residence, as ascertained by the Boards
of Enrollment. There were, however, no
such boards in the military departments
to furnish the necessary certificates. and
it could not be expected, that men .in the

field would reuewedly pledge their servi—

ces unless they could obtain their bounty

at the time they should be mustered, and
they receive as favorable consideration
as those who had never entered the ser—
vice. To meet their reasonable anticipa-
tions, and to obtain the full quota requir-
ed of the State, orders were given the
Paymaster General to pay Ibounties to
veterans upon certificates from the Adju-
tant of the regiment in which they had
been remastered. It is desirable that the
Assembly take special noticebf this order._
A few volunteers have not received boun-
ties, because they did not enlist from, and
were not credited, to the towns where
they were enrolled or had their residence.
So far as this was done inadvertently,
and the volunteer received "no local boun-
ty, provision may now be made for pay-
ment.

As the first selectmen are virtually the
agents of the towns, they were authorized
to recruit, and rendered valuable service
in filling the quotas of the towns. "

All new recruits have been assigned to
regiments, battalions, amd batteries, in
the field, except colored men, who have
been organized into the Twenty-ninth and
Thirtieth Regiments The Twenty-ninth
has gone into the field with full ranks,
under the flag of the State, to uphold
that of the Union. For this they have
given their energies and hazarded their
lives. They are soldiers fighting our
battles, and we should give them a sol-
dier’s protection The terrible scenes
recently enacted at Fort Pillow and
Plymouth urge upon us the duty of secur-
ing for them the same treatment which
we demand for all engaged in honorable
warfare. It may require retaliation.
That is a fearful remedy justifiable only
to restrain the barbarous practices of
inhuman enemies. When it begins, for
the lowest soldier who should receive death
in any other way than in accordance with
the laws~ of civilized warfare, we should
take enemies highest in rank, man for
man, life for life.

In comparing the records of the Adin-
taut General with those of the War De-
partment, it was found that a portion of
the enlisted men had not been credited,
but on discovering theiomission, the
credit was promptly given. The quote

assigned to Connecticut under every requi-
sition made by the President is thirty-
niue thousand "two hundred and fourteen,
and the number furnished is forty-two

Should they occur while we have n"
statute on the subject, the injured part;
would be seriously embarrassed, and d
layed in obtaining proper indemnity. i
would, therefore, be well to define th
responsibility,and the manner in whie'
the losses ma‘y‘be compensated
It is a principle almost universally ad
mitted that a government is under obi
,gatiou to give protectiongto every citizei
who does not encourage or engage h
the violation of law, and in case of failure
it is in duty bound to make good tlt
injury sustained consequent upon Incl
neglect. , : : '
Apply the principle tothe conflict uov
raging between the friends and the, one
mice of the Union and we find that even:
word which comforts, Iand every ac
which encourages. strengthens, and pro
longs the rebellion is a, demand for in
creased taxation to compensate for loose
sustained by loyal citizens. "
The State and National governmen
are only separate parts of one great lye
tem, each moving in-Iits own orbit, pet
forming its own functions, each acting
in harmony with the other, to define",
secure and perpetrate the liberties of thi
people, as well as to “ establish and in
sure domestic tranquility.”
They are founded upon the necemitiei
of an extended civil organization, ant"
makeit as much a duty to sustain thi
General Government in its efi'orts tr
“ establish justice and insure domestic
tranquility,” as it would be to sustair
State authorities, if the State had soverl
eighty over every question relating tr
public safety. '
, To comprehend and maintain this Cfll'f
dinal truth as the chief corner stone of I
free and powerful government, to remove"
every institution inconsistent with justice;
and put at rest every question, the agitae.
tion of which everhas or ever will disturb
and prevent domestic tranquility, is the
pressing and imperative duty of the
American people. " " -
' A large faction ofour fellow citizen:
occupying an extended “portion of our
country, under the influence of prejudice
and passion, have determined, and for
more than three "years made vigorous and
untiring efi‘erts to thwart the execution
of the laws by destroying the national
IUniou. N o; appreciation of the blemingt
of governmental protection, no conscious
ness of the indefensibility of their position
and no sense of their guilt, has modified
‘or ohauged their criminal purpose.
For success they rely open a division
in the opinions and counsels. of the peo
ple, and upon their own strength at
concentrated in their reinforced and
disiplined armies. . ,
We have no alternative other than to
permit them to hold our liberties subject
to their dictation, or meet them on thell‘
own chosen field of conflict and by the
strong arm of power working through
our armies, subjugate them to govern-
mental authority.
N0 peace can be insured to the sub
jects of any government, either in heaven
or on earth, without the exercise of power
sufiicient to subdue armed rebellion.-
We cherish no feelings of hostility on
revenge and desire not the life of theineur
gents,but feel it to be" a high patriotic and
religious duty to use adequate force for"
subjugating the ontoword- manifestation
of the spirit of rebellion to the claims of
law and order. .
Opposition to government must be
met with opposition to rebellion.
Liberty lost by us is lost to our chil-"
dren forever. .
Therefore we should combine our re-
sources and consecrate them to a nation's
strength until the armies of ‘ our shell-I
shall be overpowered. ‘

Until this shall be accomplished the
consideration of all questions which re-
late to repairing or reconstructing this
Union will be premature and when this"
shall be done; we may safely judge and
determine how far in accordance with
our obligations to law abiding citizens
we may restore rights forfeited by the
highest crime against human government,
and how far the future peace’ and pros-
perity of the people shall demand retri,
butive justice. I

The disafl'ectiou which has led to this
terrible civil war, has, in the opinion of
many been caused directly by slavery,
and of others by an unjustifiable agita-
tion of questions relating thereuuto, still,
nearly all agree that it has been eithu
the direct or proximate cause of the re-
belliou. .

The institution existed in every State
