It is not iot dutv to recomiueua measures to oe brought before the General Assembly that de volves noon his Excellency the uovernor; dui trust the Senate will paidon me, in making at this time one or two suggestions. In the first olace I hone that the present session of the Legislature will not be a protracted one, but that we, on our part, shall do all in our power to make it as short as tne weitare ot the state win permit, and in order to do this we must avoid all unnecessary protracted debate, ana dispose oi tne matters which may be brought beiore us in a prompt and business-like manner. I would also suggest, that under tne present con dition of the State treasury, and the depiessed state of the business affairs of the country, we should watch with great care the public purse, and vote no appropriations, but what are absolutely necessary for the best interest of the common wealth, and save the people from burdensome taxation.

The dancing party of Mons.

Arcan, at the Allyn House, was very numerously attended, on Tuesday evening. The pupils went through the evolutions on the programme to the great delight and amuse ment of the papas, mammas, sisters and brothers, who occupied the side seats. The great dining- hall of the Allyn House had double and treble rows of benches, and chairs about its sides, and many bad to stand at that. Mons. Arcan has been very thoroughly tried in this city, the past season; and he proves an acquisition just the man that was wanted to fill up the niche in society and make the wheels that would otherwise grate monotonously, run along smoothly.

He has a knack of teaching children and grown persons every species of dinc-ing movement; voice enough to call the figures, and savoir faire enough to make his way in the world. His room is over the Hartford County Bank. We do not like to call names in such a case; but every person present at Mons. Arcan's exhibi tion, will agree that there weie several beautiful, graceful and skillful performers, among the youth of our city, in the various hornpipes, highland flings, floral dances, waltzes, polkas, and schottish-es that were executed. Dancing can never die, write, say or preach what we please.

raising a coniiuitteo to introduce Lieut. Governor into the Senate; passed, and Messrs. Rwfc-well and Pardee appointed. A message was ie- ed interest in the arts and in all departments of agriculture. Whether the annual appropriation which was formerly made by the state to this society shall be renewed, is left for your consideration The law of joint stock corporations requires the President and Secretary of such corporations to make an annual certificate uuder oath of "the amount of their debts and credits as nearly as the same can be determined," and enter it upon the publie rec ords.

The object appears to be to spread before the publit a statement of the condition of eveiy such corporation, in order that they may have a correct basis to judge of the responsibility of such corporation. A literal compliance with the statute requires such corporation to include in their certificate all credits which are bad and doubtful. The public have no means of judging between a credit of value and on which is worthless. I would therefore recommend that the President and Secretary of every Joint Stock Corporation be required to place a just and true valuation upon the credits of their respective corporations as near as they can estimate, and that the amount of such valuation be entered, in such certificate. The second section of an Act for tbe assessment and collection of taxes, approved June 27th, 1857, mposing an extra tax on bank and insurance com panies, is regarded as at variance with the general ule for the equalization of taxes, and 1 would re commend its repeal.

The General Railroad Commissioners will exhibit the condition of our Railroads. There are now in operation within the limits of this State five hund red and eighty-nine miles of railroad, which pass through more than one half of the towns in the State, and which, we believe, afford our entire pop ulation greater conveniences for participating in the benefits of these channels of communication than are enjoyed by the citizens of any other State The cost of tliese roads and their equipments is $26,423,691 19, making this an interest of great magnitude. The facilities which they furnish for the rapid con veyanceof passengers and properly have done much to promote the comfort aud prosperity ot our cm zens. They have been constructed under legislative authority, by men of enlarged views, many of whom were stimulated by the noble desire of increasing the business, and developing the resources of wealth within our borders. It is iust and proper that they should be protec ted in the exercise of their corporate powors, and have an opportunity to secure a reasonable remu neration for their investment.

It is also a duty of the Legislature to protect the public iu their pecun iary rights, and from personal injury. To do jus tice between tliese corporations and the public, 1 regaid it as essential. First, that the party ho operate a Railroad shall be responsible for any loss or personal injury which may arise from the neglect of such party, or the carelessness of employes. Second, that creditors be so far protected that when a corporation defaults its interest or its principal, may be prevented from operating its road so as to decrease the value of its property to the injury of its mortgagees, third, that mortgagees have full authority to foreclose, and with such foreclosure that all the corporate powers of the company be vested in the party foreclosing. I commend this important subject to your careful consideration, and submit the question, whether it is not desirable to ncconi plish these objects by additional stalutatory enact inetits.

At the commencement ot the last year our man ufactories were in full operation the products of agriculture were in active demand for home and foreign markets our mechanics were successfully prosecuting their work capital was fully employed labor fairly remunerated confidence stood high and our banks redeemed their liabilities in specie, Before the close of the year our business interests became embarrassed our manufacturers and arti zans reduced their production, or stopped their work labor, the great capital of our country, failed to find full employment, or adequate compensation confidence was impaired the value of projerty re-duced men in all the business relations of life be- came bankrupt, and our banks were unable to re deem their issues. Our State and Nation shared i the common prostration, and it becomes a quostio of serious importance to our citizens to inquire into may not be adopted which will tend to prevent tho recurrence of such revulsions. The President of the United States, in referrin to this subject in bis last annual message to Coi gress, says "It is apparent that our existing mis fortunes have proceeded solely from our extrava- gant and vicious system of paper currency and bank credits, and that these revulsions must continue successive intervals so long as the amount of paper currency and bank loans of the country shall be left to the discretion ot fourteen hundred irresponsibl banking institutions." The banks undoubtedly have had some influence in producing the changes to which I have referred but do not assent to tho sweeping declaration that tliese misfortunes have re suited solely from our system of paper currency an bank credits or that the banks in this State are ir responsible, either as it regards their ability to meet their obligations, or as being beyond the control legislaiive enactments. I doubt not they are as well managed and as sound as banks in any part of ihe country. Ihe great majority of them gave abund ant evidence of this at the time of the general sus pension of specie payments, by maintaining the re demption of their bills in Boston, which, in its ii.flu ence and effect, was equivalent to a specie redemp tion.

It is also a just matter of State pride, that immediately on the resumption of specie payments iu New York, our banks commenced redeeming their obligations in specie, and are now, as heretofore, aid ing the business and industry of the State. I can call your attention to no question of more practical importance to the business interests of onr citizens, than that which appertains to the subject of the currency and banking. While no man is able fully and clearly to state the laws by which the currency is governed, and to trace their effects yet by the application of a few important principles. I doubt not you may make such a change in our laws as will diminish the evils and increase the benefits connected with the system of banking. Inits influ ence it is not confined to the geographical limits of our own Stale, but it is connected wiih banking in ouier oiaies, ana rorrns pari oi a general sysiem, each branch of which, under the laws of tho State in which it is located, is exerting an influence that is felt by our citizens as far as their business extends.

New York, the centre of the business of our coun try, is tne centre oi tne sysiem, ana tne hanks in that city sustain the same relation to ours as the trunk to the or as the body to the hand I shall therefore speak of the subject as one gene ral sysiem, a part of which is uuder our special su pervi.sion. I would remark that currency, whether it is sne cie, or paper and snecie, is the standard of the value of property; an increase or diminution of currency mcieases or decreases the value of property. If the banks increase their circulation it is an increase of the currency which raises the value of property. If they withdraw their circulation they diminish such value. By this we see tho influence which they can exert for good or for evil as it shall be ben eficial or injurious to change the value of property Hence the importance of restraining bank issues, of preventing sudden expansions or contractions, aud the necessity of maintaining a uniform amount of currency.

Deposits are regarded as a basis for bank loans. This is proper to a certain extent, but when carried too far, results in evil. Banks iu many instances have increased their deposits by paying depositors a stipulated interest. They have become borrow ers as well as lenders of money And acted as bro kers for such capitalists as would employ them in that capacity. They have thus placed themselves under the necessity of extending their loans.

Deposits are truly said to "represent that portion of the floating capital of the country which is held temporarily in reserve from productive investment, waiting to be employed by its, owners, as prudence and opportunity shall dictate." From this it is evident banks should be cautious about extending their obligations based upou deposits. If they are not, depositors may call for their money while it is loaned. The bank, in order to meet such claims, must demand and press the payment of their loans. The pressure is then felt aud is the result of loans on deposit. The average deposits in the banks of the city of New York increased $5,938,568 from January to May, the loans increased $5,260,000 from the' 3d day of January to the 2 1 day of May.

Those banks coutinned to increase their loans until the month of August, when they reached the sum of 3120,507,000. The dejosils were then partly withdrawn. In order to meet the demaud of their depositors the banks called lor and pressed the pay. meet of their loans. The unexpected failure of a large Trust Company occurring at the same lime caused distrust.

The (tanks distrusted their customers and ea other. ard piessed th payment of their loans so as to in duce their cash obligations S27.216.0OO between followed their example. It has been supposed tv many that a law suppressing the circulation of small bills would increase the amount of specie In th ands of tbe people and tend to greater stability in monetary matters. I doubt not such would be the effect if the law could extend over a large extent of contiguous Territory. But if Connecticut should adopt such a measure with reference to her banks, it would be difficult to prevent within our limits the circulation of such bills issned by ibe banks of ad- oining States.

Whenever the State of New lork shall adopt such a policy it will be well for this State to co-operate with the other New England Slates in suppressing such circulation. We may now inquire whether the experience of the past does not demand that our banking system should be established on a broader specie basis and guarded by such restrictions as will tend to prevent miliar revulsions, ne must keep In mind the fact that no definite percentage of specie on the amount of circulation or on the total amount of liabilities will make it certain that our banks will at all times be able to meet the obligations in specie. Also that while our banks continue the practice of redeeming their bills iu Boston, (a practice of great value to the citizens of our State) it will not be necessary bold as large an amount of specie as it would if that system should be discontinued, nor as large as is necessary for the banks in the centre of commercial business. That provision of our law which requires specie in proportion to the circulation of our banks, I regard as defective. Banks are under some obligations to depositors as well as to bill holders and they should be required to keep an amount sufficient to meet all probable demands, and such amount should be based upon the liabilities of the banks.

From the examination I havo given this subject, I am led to recommend, first, that the Banks be prohibited from paying interest on deposits second, that they be prohibited from making loans on call: third, that their circulation be limited to an amount not exceeding seventy-five per cent, on their capital stock fourth, that they be required to make monthly returns of their condition to the Bank Commissioners; fifth, that they bo required to keep on hand an amount of specie, equal to ten per cent, on the total amount of their indebtedness, and if during any month their average amount shall not be equal to this requirement, all discounts shall cease until they shall be restored to such a condi tion. We have seventv-six banks in the State, with an aggregate capital of $20,618,723, the condition of which will appear in detail, in the repot tot the Bank Commissioners. Their observation and experience will enable them to give you valuable suggestion relative to the operation of our Banking system. Their report will also exhibit the condition of tho several Savings and Building associations. Under our laws they possess the peculiar privilege of tak ing a higher premium for the use of money than private citizens or any other association It will be well to consider whether you may not with a true and just regard to all their rights, and your obligations to the public limit a timo for clos ing their business or enact a law which shall prohibit them from taking any bonus on any future loans and confine them to an interest of six per cent.

per annum. The taiill'law of 1846 has without doubt had its influence in producing tho evils to which we have referred. Other causes have been in oration and retarded for a while its tendency but it has produced its legitimate fruits, ll opened our poits so wide as to increase our importations of the products of cheap foreign labors to tho amount of 198,344 in 1857, above the importations in 1816. It is true our exports greatly increased during the same period, but the balance due for our importations lias been paid in specie, or now remains a debt against us. We are to pay such balance by sending the products of our labor three thousand miles and more, to markets cheaper than our own That law embodied the principles of a foreign valti' ation and a valorem duties.

It failed to discriminate iu favor of American laborers a principle in political economy, of vety high importance to our Stale and Nation, because the value of labor is moie extensive than any other interest. It reaches eve-ry citizen. It is the capital of our country. Bv the use of such capital, under our Institutions, and the blessings of a kind Providence, its owner may obtain all the necessaries and many of the comforts of life. For this reason, Connecticut should ever exert her influence in the general government, to have its revenue collected under such laws as will make a wise discrimination iu lavor of this spe cies oi American capital.

J. he question of slavery extension still agitates the mind and disturbs the peace of the nation- threatens the rights of the States, aud the best in terests oi tne union, nis aquation has been renewed with every effort to extend slavery into the Territories, or to shield it there, under the Constitu tion of our confederacy. The passage of tho Kansas Nebraska act, and the effort to bring the peo ple or Kansas under the government of a constitu tion which they have never approved, I regard as the immediate causes of the present agitation. The chief executive officer of our national government has declared "that Slavery existed in Kansas at the lime of the passage of the Kansas Nebras ka act, under the Constitution of the United Mates, ana mat ivansas is at this moment as much of a Slave State as Georgia or South Carolina." Take these declaiations ii connection with the use which the Administia- tiou has made of the army of the C. with the the disregard of the pledges which it gave in favor of popular sovereignty, and to submit tho question of slavery to the decision of the people of Kansas without any restriction or qualification, and in con neclion with tbe efforts which the administration has made to have that Territory admitted into the Union as a State uuder the Lecompton Constitution and we are not surprised that the minds of our cit izens are filled with apprehensions for the future peace and welfare of the nation.

If the course which the administration has pursued on these subjects shall be regarded as a precedent for the fu ture. it may cause questions to arise between the Slates aud the national government which will still more seriously disturb our tranquility, ques lious having reference to tbe righ's of the Stales and tbe powers of the government. We have looked in vain to find a clause in the Constitution recognizing Slavery in the Territories. It exists in the states because il is the creature of local laws. If we go back to ihe formation of the general government we find that the convention which framed the Constitution, and Congress were in session at the same time.

Questions which related to Slavery perplexed and retarded the action of boi bodies. But they acted in concert, and it was well understood that the provision iu the Constitution for delivering up on claim, persous held to cer-vice in one stale, and escaping into another, was made for the purpose of satisfying those States which were not then iu favor of taking measures to abolish Slavery, and that in consideration of such provisions they conceded to the government the right to prohibit Slavery in tho common territories. Al that very time the ordinance of ltbt was adopted by Congress prohibiting involuntary servitude ex cept for crime in all ihe territories which belonged lo the general government. 1 his was regarded by all as a solemn compact which was to remain forever inviolable. For sixty years after that time the Legislation ot Congress recognized the existence of full constitutional power to prohibit this institution in the territories.

The doctrine that power to prohibit slavery carries with it the power to establish it, is of recent date and in conflict with the views aud expectations of those who participated in the formation of the Federal Government. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and the effort made to establish slavery JNortb of that hue, in a territory which had been devo edto fieedom, has opened the question oi extending freedom South of that line in a territory which had been devoted to slavery. The struggle now is lo deter mine whether the Constitution which was ordained to establish liberty shall be perverted to establish slavery. The agitation which this subject has caued. is deeply to be regretted but I do not believe it will cease until we shall "allow the states to regulate their own domestic institutions in their own way" cease to use our federal powers lo establish or extend lie system of human bondage return to and be governed by the principles upon which the government was rounded.

Iben, and not till then, will the American people cease lo agitate this sub ject and peace be restored to our wholo country. I have endeavored to present these subjects with out party prejudice. Parlies riw, and fall, and are forgotten, ont prn- ciples involving our business, our education, onr plans of Christian philanthropy and our civil lib erty, rest not upon thechanging foundations of a po litical party.

Speaker, and Gentlemen of the General Assembly The Constitution of our State, and the snffrases of our fellow-citizens have made it my duty to inform you of "the state of the Government, and to recommend to your consideration such measures as I shall deem expedient." This duty I shall endeavor to perform with proper brevity. Legislation should be such as will tend to check crime bring to speedy justice the violators of law secure a sound currency preserve the purity of the ballot-box place in a desirable position public institutions lead citizens to feel a stronger attach ment to the commonwealth and to the national Union give the greatest liberty under the restraints of law, and lead to the enactment of such statutes only as are based upon the Divine law. Such le gislation tor our State will lead ns to respect our selves, entitle us to the esteem of the good, and give us an influence such as a people under our institutions and laws ought to exert. The Legislature is assembled to consider questions relating to the finances of the State, and to inquire whether the public interest demands a repeal or modification of any of our present laws, or tbe enactment of any Dew statutes. Public finances should be controlled by tho principles of rigid economy, without parsimony, remembering "there is that scattereth and yet increaseth, and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, and it tendeth to poverty." Complaints are often made of the disbursements from the public treasury, indicating that citizens are watchful of their interests, such complaints arise, not so much from the amount appropriated, as from its failing to accomplish the good designed by such expenditures It is therefore necessary to scrutinize every claim pre lerred against the State, and carefully consider ev ery appropriation which- may be called for by our public societies and institutions.

Ample appropn ation should be made for the purpose of mitigating or relieving the miseries incident to our common humanity to meet the claims of education and the just obligations of the State. Otu laws should be founded upon genera princi pies, such as recognize mutual rights and mutual obligations. We should avoid special legislation. I entertain the views expressed by my respected predecessor, "that we suffer more from excessive legislation than from a deficiency of laws," and "that few additional enactments or alterations of the laws upon our statute book will be required at the present session. The reports of l.ho Treasnrnr and luiu.sn iuuiiied statement of the pi nt of the public receipts anror nnri l.nnt.rol pr wi I and expenditures for the past year.

The current expenses of the government have been $271,470 63. At the commencement of the fiscal year there was a balance in the Treasury of 12,468 30, and a loan due from that department of $50,000: on the 31st day of March last, the loan amounted to $85,000, wiih a balance on hand of Iti The Legislature will judge of the proper manner of meeting the present debt, as well as providing for the future necessities of the Treasury department. From the report of the Commissioner of the Schooi Fund I learn that the principal of that fund remains unimpaired and amounts to the sum of $2,046,397 32, with a surplus of $22,318 02 in the Treasury, or temporarily loaned. The income has been neaily seven per cent from which a dividend has been made amounting to $142 080 40, or one dollar and forty cents to each of the 101,486 children in tho State between the ages of four and sixteen years. There lias also been received into the Treasury for school purposes, from the one cent Ux on the grand list of the towns, $71,440 66, and from the town deposit fund, $35,000 These sums aie estimated to be but a little more than one half the amount which has been voluntarily paid upon the rale bill and property tax.

From ihe repoit of the Superintendent of Common Schools you will obtain a statement of the condition of the Common Schools, and the State Normal School, and much valuable re'ating to them. The changes which have been recently made in onr system of public schools appear to be slowly producing their benefits. Graded schools have been established in our cities and in some of our large towns, and are exciting an increased interest iu education, both among parents and children. The Normal School is doing much towards supplying the State with Teachers who have been trained under a system well adapted to fit them for their duties as educators of the young. Tho time limiting the annual appropriation to ihis school expires with the present year.

When it is conceded that viitue and intelligence mould and form the character of a people, I feel that we cannot afford to neglect so important a part of our public interest as the cause of education, and trust you will find it consistent with your duty to renew the annual appropriation. In tne repoi of the Trustees of the State Reform School, yon will notice a difference of opinion as to the beneficial effect of the law passed al the last session, requiring that "the expense of each boy shall bo paid from the city or lown from which such boy is sent." It is important for the Legislature to guard against any measure which may tend to prevent the usefulness of an institution so well fitted to reclaim the young from the paths of vice and make them respectable and useful citizens. From the report of the Adjutant General, and the Quarter Master General, you will learn the condition of the militia and the expense of maintaining the same. The changes which were last year made In our statutes for conducting the military force were designed to diministi tbe expense and increase the efficiency of this arm of public defense. The proper department cau furnish a detailed statement which will show whether any expense has been saved to the State.

Longer time may be necessary to develop the full operation of the law. Commissioners were appointed by resolutions of the last legislature to procure plans and superintend the erection of State Houses in the cities of Hartford and New Haven, provided such buildings could be erected without any other expense to tlie State than such sums as might be realized from the sale of the interest of the State in the present State Houses, and the grounds connected with the same. Soon after the adjournment of the Legislature the Commissioners published a notice that they were ready to receive proposals from any and all parties who had intimated a willingness to construct such buildings upon the condition named in the resolution. They have received no proposition to accede to those terras, and have made no progress in the duties assigned them. The attention of the Legislature has been frequently called to the claims of the Idiotic.

Infor-mation respecting this unfortunate class in our State does not now appear to be sufficiently disseminated to warrant any large exendilure in their behalf, but it may be well to take measures to collect more full and reliable statistics than we now possess respecting the numbers and condition not only of tbe Idiotic, but of the Iusaue, the Blind, the Deaf and Dumb, and other classes who are suffering from similar calamities. Such knowledge would tie a basis for wise and proper action towards each of the benevolent institutions which ate de signed to benefit these several classes, and the claims of humanity demand that they should be cherished aud sustained by your cordial co opeiation.
