|N introducing this medicine to the peopleot the 1 ni*_
1 * 1 Stale*, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to subint”
the following ala etneut of Dr. De Jrall'cnried, its dir%coit
ert r and in\ent>r:
The und*rignei frankly stsites that he has prescribed
this medicine for the last twent>-tw years, in all forms
of Ac te and Chronic Rheumatism, with a .sucre.--, unpar
alleled in the annals of medicine; and he has no hesita
tion in saying, that it is decidedly the most valuable rem
edy ever yet discovered for the rebel of this mos. painful
and distressing malady.
His note book contains upwards of three hundred cas
es, in which it has been used within the above named
period, ai:d in no single instance has it come to his know
ledge, of its failing to effect a cure when per*v\ero l in
Many of the cases were from four to ten years standing
and what may appear more remarkable and extraordina
ry,is that when a patient has been once rehe\ ed. ti e di
sease is permanently cured , remains so, not a solitary in
stance having been reported to him of its return.
All lie would ask for this remedy is a fair and impar
tial and patient trial, for the results he entertains no up
prehensions.
Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned
had well studied the origin, process, and character of this
disease, and is well assured, had consulted every author
on its treatment, who had written or been translated into
the Knglish language, and hail used all the remedies of
any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with
however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering human
ity.
’it has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent
Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and o r every other
country. Hut the undersigned Hatters himself that his
reimily will cure this most painful disease, when all oth
ers Imve failed, and that he shall have been an humble
lis'.rumcnt in the bands of God. of relieving the human
fatnilv of a vast amount of suffering.

Bostox, Oet: 27.1851.—T1ie brig Braman
brings Buenos Ayres dates of the sth of Sep
tember. The most intense excitement pre
vailed in Buenos Ayres, as to the progress
ofthe war. There is no doubt that Urqttiza
and the Brazilians have made a junction, and
that the Buenos Ayrean General had lostfi,-
000 horses and the haggange and artillery of
one of the divisions, without the firing of a
gun.
A letter says there is not milch doubt that
the Banda Oriental question is settled. Or
ibe driven to extremities, probably by the
large force opposed to him, has requested the
French Admiral to receive on board his ves
sels the Argentine troops, and convey them
to Buenos Ayres. This was refused, and
all the Oriental troops of Oribc’s army have
deserted, and even the Argentine troops re
fuse to fight,saying that they have had enough
of it.
The French and English admirals, after a
conference, declared that they should not in
terfere. and it was feared that Buenos Ayres
might be blockaded.
As the Brazilian admiral, Grenfell was go
ingup the Pan am river, one of his steamers,
the Alphonso, was fired into from a small
fort of Rosas, and the rigging was so much
cut up that lie was obliged to put back to
Montevi *e
The Buenos Ayrean Packet is confident
that even if Oribe is defeated iu his first en
counter with the enemy, that lie will finally
defeat them. It says:—“he is in his own
territory, and with the sympathies ofthe na
tive population. A war of resources, or tlip
guerilla warfare that crushed the power and
undermined the prestige of Bonaparte him
self in the Peninsula campaign, would be
ric.xt tointerminablc, not to speak of the inta
resources of this republic that are now hus
banded with a provident economy, that they
may strike a decisive blow when the fitting
opportunity arrives.”
In Buenos Ayres the news, as received,
had caused frightful fluctuation in the paper
money. Isist year, at this time, ounces were
quoted at 2 )2—for the week ending, Sep
tember 6th, they had been as high as 295,
and closed at 390, with a prospect of going to
400. ; M . .
From the tone of the Piickct, it is
judged that Rosas is attempting to foment a
republican rebellion in Brazil, which would
require the return of the Brazilian troops.
More Brazilian steamers and about 500
German recruits had arrived at Montevideo.
Another letter, dated Buenos Ayres, Sep
tember 6tl, says:—“there is a perfect panic
here to-dav, and ounces have sold for 400.
The Brazilians and Urquiza were carrying
everything before them, and it was feared
would invade Buenos Avres.”

furnish important Telegraphic intelligence from
all quarters in advance of the possibility of its re

days of publication our Tri-Weekly subscribers
will be furnished with Telegraphic slips, when
despatches arrive on those days.
Our despatches will embrace general intelli

other southern paper.
These arrangements will be costly, but we look
to the public to sustain us iu an enterprize that
will redound to its advantage. It is our purpose
to take advantage of the political eahn which has
succeeded two years of stormy agitation and dis

THE GEORGIA STATE FAIR.
Wc have had the gratification of attending tlie
State Fair at Macon. In common with all intelli
gent observers whom we met on that interesting
occasion, wc cannot regard the event otherwise
than uj an era in the history of Georgia, marking
a starting point in the improvement of practical
science as applied to agriculture, stock-raising and
the useful arts. An impulse never before recog
nized, lias been given to the developenient of tlie
teeming resources of this State, truly great in
all tlie elements which a bountiful Providence can
supply for the use and uurturo of a great and
prosperous people. Regarding the Fair in its ma
terial on exhibition, it was highly creditable to
tlie awakening enterprize of our people. We
heard more than one gentleman declare that it
compared favorably in this respect, with similar ex
hibitions in the older States of the North, where
agricultural societies had reached their maturity
and perfect organization. The concourse of peo
ple was great, and gave abundant tokens of the
deep hold which the spirit of improvement lias
taken oil the public mind. Distinguished gentle
men from distant States made frequent and ad
miring remarks on the fine appearance of tlie
Georgia population who thronged the city of Ma
con. While gazing on the. vigorous and robust
specimens of manhood, these gentlemen enquired
for the sallow complexions and bilious constitutions
which they believed were indigenous to the cot
ton and rice plantations. -Ml sections of the
State were represented. The magnificent rail
way facilities to Macon, poured in train upon train
crammed with human freight, from the Tennessee
river to the seaboard and Islands of the Atlantic,
from the East and from the South-West. The
Chattahoochee sent its delegations in pretty strong
force, hut they had to creep along in private car
riage, or jolt along in the post-coach, now anti
quated and left far behind in tlie race of iniprove
cd loco motion.
It would b impossible to describe what tve
saw, without writing a book. Tlie transai dons
of the society wifi he published in pamphlet, from
which wc expect to cull the items of general in
terest. Every department was well filled and
every branch of industry represented.
The Poultry department was probably tlie most
complete. We learn that there were exhibited
no less ban seventy varieties of chickens, eight or
ten of pigeons, among which we noticed the cele
brated carrier pigeon. The Getsc and Ilttek
formed a Congress of Nations, and showed their
colors from almost every quarter of tlie world.
The cattle show was the next prominent fea
ture. We saw imported Devons and native stock
raised from foreign crosses which appeared to us
to have reached the nc plus ultra of perfection.
Nor were they few in number.
The horses, thorough bred and harness, bore a
conspicuous part in the show, aud the mule, the
Jack and the long-eared race were splendidly rep
resented.
In the machine department, the beautiful en
gine from the manufactory of Gindrat & Cos., of
Montgomery, excited the most admiring atten
tion. It gained the first premium. There were
two other engines manufactured in Macon.,
The agricultural department was plentifully
stocked with specimens of grain, fruit and other
products of the soil. Os fruit, we saw the date,
grown on St. Simon’s Island.
The ladies department was the most thronged.
The crowd was too great to permit more than a
glance at the articles displayed. We saw enough
to show us that our fctir sountrywomeu are both
skilled and industrious in the use of the needle,
thepeneil and the’brush.
Augusta aontributed a very highly finished
Warren Barouche from the factory of Hulbert Jb
Cos., and Macon several handsome buggies.
A passenger rail ear front Augusta took# prem
ium.
But we must stop, and finish our hasty sketah
with a remark on the happy and judieiuns ar
rangements made for the Fair. The good people
of Macon spared no pains to render the Fair as
imposing and interesting as was possible. The
ground selected were admirably suited to the oc
casion, a fine hand enlivened the scene, and
[TSkMTJE •]
every thing was conducted with order and deco
rum, always saving and excepting the pick-pock
ets who exercised their light-fingered practice to a
serious extent.
The citizens of Macon, in a very handsome
manner threw open their houses to their friends,
over flowing from the crowded Hotels, and the
Hotel keepers did nil that the best of hosts
could (10, to meet tlie immense drafts on them for
bed and board.
We are pleased to loarn that the Executive
Committee have determined that the next annual
fair will be held at Macon.
Tub Plantbxs’ < Convention.— This body, held
during the Fair at Macon, was numerously attended
& was a highly respectable assemblage, represent

If it be true, tlie American doctrine, announced
by President Monroe, repeated by President Polk,

to watch and barrass the great commerce of the

and Mexico and California.

have resulted iti a splendid and grateful Democratic

and members faithful to their country were not
overwhelmed with tlie hoarse raven cry of disun

Be Gentlemen at Home. —There are
few families, we imagine, anywhere, in
which love is not abused as furnishing
1 a license for impoliteness! A husband, j
farther, or (brother will fspeak harsh I
words to those he loves best, and to those
who love him the best, simply because
the security of love and family pride
keeps him from getting his head bro
ken.
It is a shame that a man will speak
more impolitely at times, to his wife or
sister, that he would to any other female 1
except a low and vicious one. It is thus
that the holiest affections of man’s na
ture prove a weaker protection to wo
man in the family circle titan the re
straints of society, and that woman usu
ally is indebted for the kindness and
politeness of life to those not . belonging ]
to her own household. Things ought not j
so to be. The man who, because it j
will not be resented, inflicts his spleen :
and bad temper upon those of his hearth- j
stone, is a small coward, and mean
man. Kind words are the circulating
medium, between true gentlemen and
true ladies at home, and no polish ex
hibited in society can atone for the harsh
language and disrespectful treatment
too often indulged in between those
bound together by God’s own ties of
blood and the still more sacred bonds
of conjugal love. —[_Springfield Republi

These are the facts: Las; Sunday after
noon, Mrs. Russell, a lady living at Wootton,
near this city, observed something fall in the
garden, while at dinner. On sending out the
gardener, he found it to be a small balloon,
in the ear of which was a card, bearing tho
following inscription.

The matter was at first looked upon
as a hoax, blit subsequent events led to a
communication being made with the Adiniral

mediately on their receipt sent down Capt.’
Beech}', R. N., to Gloucester, with another
officer, to make inquiries. These inquiries 1
are now being prosecuted, Capt. Becliy having j
been twice at Wootton, examining all parties ;
resident there. It turns out that it is areal
Government balloon, of exactly a similar kind
to those sent out with the Erebus, when she

History of Alcohol. —Alcohol was inven
ted 950 years ago, by the son of a strange
woman, Hager, in Arabia. Ladies used it
with a powder to paint themselves, that they
might appear more beautiful, and this pow
der was called alcohol. During the reign of
William and Mary, an act was passed en
couraging the manufacture of spirits. Soon
after, intemperance and profligacy prevailed
tc such an extent that the retailers iu intoxi
cating drinks put up signs in public plaeesin
forming the people that they might get drunk
for a p"enny, and have some straw to get so
ber on.
In the 16th century, distilled spirits spread
over the continent of Europe. About this
time it was introduced into the colonies, as
‘the United States were then aallcd. The
first notice we have of its nse in public life,
waa among the laborers in the Hungarian
mines, in the 15th century. In 1751, it was
used by the English soldiers as a cordial.—
The alcohol in Europe was made of grapes
and sold in Italy and Spain as a medicine.—
The Genoese afterwards made it from grain
and sold it as a medicine in botties under the
name of the water of life. Until the 16th
I NUMBER 45.
century it had only been kept by apotheca
ries as medicine. During the reiarn of Henry
VII, brandy was unknown in Ireland, and
soon its alarming effect induced the govern
ment to pass a law prohibiting its manufac
ture.
About 12) years ago it was used as a bev
erage, especially among the soldiers in the
English colonies in North America, under the
preposterous notion that it prevented sickness
and made men fearless in the field of battle.
It was looked upon as a sovereign specific.
Such is the brief sketch of the introduction of
alcohol into society as a beverage. The his
tory of it is wretchedness, the tears, the
groans, poverty and murder of thousands.—
It has marched through the land with the
tread of a giant, leaving the impress of his
footsteps in the bones, sinews, and life’s
blood of the people.— [Exchange.
Baugain wit it Wil.uot.— Under thu head
ing the Pcnsylvanian says:
“The constant clamor and calumny of the
adherents of Johnston before* the, election,
charging a bargain between the National
Democrats in this State and the author of the
W.lmot Proviso, —persevered in to drive to
Johnston's support all whigs in favor of the
Compromise measures, which was to a cer
tain extent successful—this clamor and cal
umny have been tested by the result in Mr.
W l l mot’s own county of Bradford, where
Bigler loses about four hundred votes because
ot his bold and uncompromising opposition
to the abolitionists. It was the weakest and
most contemptible falsehood that could have
been fabricated and was used by the North
American, with a full knowledge of its per
fect untruth. Tike a foul vapor receding and
fading before the rising sun, the figures have
effectually dissipated it.
It is remarkable that although the
North has always been the navigating section
of the Union, the South has produced the
great authors of our superiority in navigation.
Rumsey, ol \ irgiuia, was the first projec
tor and inventor of steam navigation. He was
the first man on this continent to huikl and
navigate a steamboat, and this was done on
James river. The next attempt was made
by Eiteh, on the Delewaro; and Fulton came
after him on the Hudson. Fulton must have
known and used the pla..s of Rumsev and
Eiteh.
1 lie South has also been pre-eminent in
sailing vessels. The Baltimore clippers have
always been celebrated for their superiority
over other sailing vessels. And it now ap
pears that the man who modeled the America
which has beaten all the yachts of Great
Britain, is also a Southerner—Mr. George
Seers, ol this District. Lctjustice be done

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, )
Milledgeville, November 3rd, 1851. (
Fellow- Citizens
Os the Senate if- House of Representatives :
In closing my official connection with the
representatives of thu people, it will be my
object to place fairly before them the meas
ures I have heretofore felt, and new /eel it my
duty to recommend, sedulously avoiding, as
far as possible, the introduction of any topic
not affecting the interests of the people.
While abundant cause of profound grati
tude exists. forthe continued kindness of that
superintending Providence, by which our State
has been spared from the scourge of pestil
ence and famine, vet it is not to be disguised,
that we arc passing through a season of bit
ter discontent that may well claim the exer
cise of the brightest of the Christaiu virtues',
to enable us to perform our full duty to the
State, the Union, ourselves, and our children.
The beautiful system of a representative con
federacy of sovereign States, united upon
the principles of Justice and Equality, reflec
ting the enlightened judgment of the virtu
ous, intelligent, industrious and patriotic
people, is only to he feared by the wicked
and corrupt, while to the orderly and right
minded, it is a.pillar of strength that w ill in
the end insure justice to all. Let our object
then he. to enlarge the basis of true c-iviiiza
tioiuvithin the borders of our own State, by
planting deeply, and nurturing closely, the
elements of a moral and intellectual culture,
with every class and condition of our people:
that each and all may understand and feel
the value of free institutions, and be capable
of devising the best means of perpetuating
them.
It a (Turds proper ground of pleasure, that I
should be. able to communicate to the Leg
islature, the highly prosperous condition of
tlie Finances of the State, and the just ap
preciation of our publlie securities at home
and abroad.
It is believed, that at no former period,
have the b mds of the State commanded great
er confidence, or maintained a higher value
in the markets: nor does this remark apply
alone to that class of the public securities
know'n as the Domestic Debt, hut equally to
the. remnant ofthe Foreign debt, of ill),000,
held in England. The advance in the mar
ket value of the latter, within the last two
years, and the increased confidence ofthe
holders, have rendered all effortsto redeem it
impracticable forthe present.
The public debt, foreign and domestic, at
the opening ofthe session of the Legislature
in ISI7, as communicated in a former mes
sage, was $1, 578.875 00.
In conformity with the recommendation
contained in t lie message of my predecessor,
in which I fully concurred, the General As
sembly of 1347 appropriated the sum of;
$375,000 for the completion of the Western
&. Atlantic Rail Road, a detailed statement
of the expenditure of which, is contained in a
former communication: and, at the sanip ses
sion. $22,222, 24 to satisfy the claim of Pet
er Trezevant, for which bonds issued, and
were paid, as heretofore communicated.
The last Legislature provided that Messrs.
|P. O. Reynolds, James F. Cooper,and Rich
ard P.-ters, should investigate the claim of
John I). Gray & Cos., contractors on tnc
Western & Atlantic Rail Road, for extra
work, &c., and that the Executive should is
sue bonds, redeemable by the Road, for the
amount found due by them. Bonds for the
sum of $24,541 17 were issued, and paid to
Mr. Gray on the 19.1i day of August, 1350,
in pursuance of the law and the report of the
Committee, a copy of which is transmitted.
A further approj ri ition 0f520,000 was nnd<s
and directed to be paid over to the Milledgc
villc & Gordon Rail Road Company, upon
its completion; but no evidence having been
furnished of the completion of the Road, this
appropriation still stands where it was left
by the Legislature.
It will thus be seen, that the liability of
the State lias been increased, since the close
of the political year 1847, to the close of the
political year 1851. $397,222 23. The ob
jects of these several appropriations are so
generally known and approved by the coun
try, that further detail, in this respect, would
not now be desirable.
Since the elose of the political year 1847,
to the close of the financial year, 1851, there
has been paid, of the interest on the public
debt, foreign and domestic $414,770 91, and
of principal v the sum of $261,559 72 leaving
the debt at this time sl/724,722 22.
If from this amount is taken $3 00,000
which is the balance of the appropriation for
the completion of the Western and Atlantic
Rail Road, unredeeemed, and which, under
the act appropriating the same, must ulti
mately be paid off, and discharged from the
net income of said Road, the jublic debt a t
this time, is SI 421,722 22, less by sl-4T
153 33, than it was at the close of the poiiti-’
cal year 1847. The available funds in the
Treasury, applicable to the further reduction
of the public debt, at the close ofthe present
fiscal year, as appears bv the Treasurer's Ro
po.t, is 554.C38 19. This amount, (#54 -
3) C 9.) being the surplus in the Treasury,
should be applied, as early as practicable, it/
the further reduction of the publio debt; af
ter which, the liabilities proper of the State
would be SI 370,684 13.
It will be borne in mind, that the sum of
#133,000 was appropriated by the act of
1845, for the extension of the Western &
Atlantic Rail Koad, of which sum, #lO7 5(00
00 was e .pended under the direction ot my
predecessor, and the balance applied by tho
present Chief Engineer, by my approbation,
to the purchase of Motive Power and Cars,
for the use of said Road. This sum, how
ever, is no charge upon the Treasury; as by
express stipulation, the holders of this class
of the public securities are to look alono to
the profits of tho Western & Atlantic Rail
Road, for principal and interest.
In this connection it would not deemed
I trust: out of place, to remind the General
Assembly, thnt-tho great difficulty experien
ced by niv predecessor, in converting these
bonds into cash, or its equivalent, it isbeliev’
ed, induced the Georgia Rail Road &, Bank
ing Company and the South Carolina Rail
Road Company, to endorse or guaranty thu
payment of principal and interest ot a largu
amount of them; whereby negotiations woro
effected in one of our neighboring States.—•
That this transaction was one ot good faith,
Iha eno doubt. How far it is incumbent,
upon the General Assembly, ’tv suitable leg-,
islative provisions to substitute the credit ot
the State for tiiat of these Rail Road Com
panies, in this particular instance, I submit to
its sense of justice and liberality, w*
The remaining probable charge upon thu
Treasury to be considered, grows out of tho
legislation heretofore had in reference to thu
Central Bank, the original capital stock ot
which may be estimated, in round numbers,
The requisitions cn the Bank, in the loiim
of Treasury warrants, r.s appears by an offi
cial report on this subject,from 33t0 41 in
clusive, was #2293 500. and for the construc
tion ofthe W. & A. Rail Road, at different
periods from ‘4l to'63, the additional sum of
$33 >,OO. making the amount actually paid,
and liabilities incurred by the Bank tor vai -
ous objects of internal improvement, thu sup
port of the Government and other objects
not include lin the above estimates, not tar
from #22)0,000. In the face of the heavy
drains “upon the Central Bank, by the act of
1843 for the edveation of the poor, 1733
shares of the Bank of the State of Georgia,
and 89) shares ofthe Bank of Augusta,
which constituted a part of its capital stock,
amounting to #2623)0, was transferred to
the Treasury, and the income from this source
pledged to the object of Education.
From that period, the Bank has not been
deprived, merely, oftliis amount of its capi
tal stock, but the. dividends which h ive actu
ally 7 accrued and been paid into the Treasury,
amounting to the sum of #.29.132 50, in
cash, and the additional sum ot #lB 600 ot
the stock of the Goo. Rail Road & Banking
Company: making the aggregate, estimating
the Bank Stock at par, of principal and inter
est, $,313,032 50. What principle of public
expediency or financial exigency, warranted
th’s diversion of the assets of the Central
Bank, at a time when its liabilities were, pro
bald not less than #1 500000 w hen its bills
wcrebelow par’ when there was an exten
sive nd general derangement of the curren
cy o the w hole country, and w hen Banks, air
well as the people at large, were laboring un
der a pressure, more desolating and disas
trous than had been experienced for years, i*
to me incomprehensible. Asa financial
measure, its effects upon the credit of tho
State, if not the pockets of bill holders, were
not more instantaneous than unavoidable. —
Public confidence was destroyed, the moment
was apparent that, the Legislature had de
prived the Bank of a large portion of its. as
sets, which were pledged for the redemption
of its liabilities, and applied them to another
and different object. If it were within thu
competency ofthe Legislature to divest indi
vidual rights which had merited to the cred
itors of the Bank, what guaranty was there
that the next step might not be taken, and tho
Bank ha deprived of all its assets, without
providing for the ultimate redemption of ita
liabilities.
It is no answer to this objection, that tho
Bank stock referred to, was applied to the
great object of educating the poor, as it will
be seen by reference to the records of this
Department, that for the years 184$, ‘49 and
’SO, inclusive, the beneficiaries of the fund re
puted, number 95.869, and the sum distribu
ted under Die act of 1843, for the same p
riod, is S6O 842, 50. being a fraction less
than sixty-three cults to each per annum, and
not sufficient, under the lowest rates charged
to pay for twenty days tuition.
’ Wh ltcver may have been tho policy in
which this measure originated, from the best
consideration I have been able to give the sub
ject, lam forced to the conclusion that tho
example established, of transferring a fund,
after being pledged to a specific object, be
fore the purpose of the pledge is fully re
deemed, should not he encouraged; and that
the policy of withdrawing the assets of the
Central Bank, and applying them to other ob
jects, and thereby depriving it of the means
of meeting its liabilities, is wholly indefensi
ble upon principle. The State has gained
nothing, nor have the people. By the trans
fer of the Bank stock to the Treasury, a ne
cessity is created to supply the deficiency in.
the Central Bank, by the State. It can oidy
be done by taxation; and the result of this
whole measure is, that every dollar distribut
ed has to he returned hack to the Bank by tho
people, without any substantial good, as I
have shown, in educating the poor children.
From the view presented, let not the im
pression prevail, that I am opposed to a sys
tem of free scho ds, or to providing the means
amply and liberally, to educate all the youth
of the country. But to accomplish tliia ob
ject, let the policy of the State be straight
forward and direct; let the country know that
a claim is made upon the property, the peo
ple, the intelligence and virtue of the State, to
furnish adequate means for extending to all
the youth a legacy of incalculable value, a
general diffusion among all classes and con
ditions? oLthp rudiments of an English edu
cation; for instilling into them, by early train
irtg,just conceptions of the social relations of
man to his fellow-man, a love of country of
liberty, and the duty of habitual reverence
humble obedience to the laws, principles,
and teachings of the'great Author of man’s
existence, without which, all governmeut is
hut a fraud, liberty hut a name.
The liabilities of the Central Bank, at this
time, consist of Bonds issued to redeem its
circulation, amounting to $371,000. Ol this
amount, $9,000 is redeemable in 1854, $39,-
000 in 1355, $34,500 in 1856, $17,000 in
1357, $21,500 in 1858, $50,000 in 1859,
$35,000 in 1860, $5,000 in 1%1 $47,000 in
18G2, $18,500 in 1363,and S74,COJ in 1861.
The available assets as, reported to me by
the Cashier may he estimated at SiOO,COJ.
This probable deficiency, therefore will have
to be provided for hereafter. Within four
year ending with the close of the present
fiscal year, the liabilities of the Bank havo
been reduced $279,0t987. A large amount
of the assets, within the period referred to re
garded as insolvent or doubtful, has been re
alized, or secured by the officers of tho Bank,
and much the larger amount of these claims,
I have no doubt would have proved s total
loss to the Bank, had the assets been trans
ferred to the Treasury. I have not believed
it to be the interest of the State, to order this
transfer heretofore, nor would I now recom
mend it to be done. I believe this discretion
vested in the Executive, as to the transfer of
its assets, sound and salutary, and there I
would advise, it should remain.
Upon careful consideration I felt it my du
ty to invite the attention of the last General
Assembly, to our system of levying and col
lecting taxes. The inequality of our tax
laws appeared, so obvious, as to eneour
age the hope that the Legislature would not
adjourn, without the substitution of tho ad
valorem, for the present specific and objec
tionable discrimination principle, adopted in
1874 and continued up to this time with slight
modifications.
