The Governor transmitted the ANNUAL KXKCIJTIYE Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and lloust of Representatives; Wo are assembled by constitutional requirement, and with renewed authority from the neo- pie, to execute in their behalf the highest ordi-l nary functions of State Sovereignty. The du-" ty again devolves upon us to eonsidcr the mu tiicipa) laws and regulations under which we live, and if changes and improvements ore clear- ly needed in sworn, enlargn, and prptrTlf lholr intended benefits, it is for us lo devise and apply them. Many special and local interests also, if within Ihe proper sphere of legislation, will doubllcss demand investigation and action.

And Ihe sense of responsibility to our constituents, which the discharge of these duties must necessarily awaken, should strongly remind us oi our obligations oF adoration and gratitude to Ihe infinite Creator and Preserver for alMIia mercies and especially fur Iho general health and plenty by which tho season is distinguish- 1 It is obvious that whalcver lends to deinoral- 17J1 IhA nofinln In U. tk.l. i.J ur uissi- yaie ine avails ot II. must also tend to retard Iho general prosperity, and to diminish or de- iiiuiviuuaia.

The ceilainiy and promptness of i are usually lar more efTeclual in tho retention of crime than extreme severity, I atsu think that positive and open druukeuness may bo properly declared a legal ofTence, and punished as a mUdcmeanior. Your special altcniiou will probably be called to the ever important subject of popular education. Tho aciion of lite last Legislature failed to meet the expectation of many enlightened and patriotic citizens, who have Ion" and icalously labored to advance this great Interest in the Stale. Should their plans and viewa be ogam presented for your acceptance, ibey will tuorit, and doubilesj receive, a candid and thorough investigation. It 1.

not to be supposed that, will, revenues derived chiefly frnm direct taxat on of the people, wo should be willing lo sustain a system of education, even for our com-moil artificial and expensive as those established in some of tho oilier Slates, where umplo and distinct funds aro permanently appropriated to that object. Yet it should not ho doubled, that oil Improvements of paramount necessity or Importance aro alway within our means and I doubt not that audi as you may deem needful and practicable will be adapted. And whiletho intercsniSf our primary and sub- ordinalo schools are duly fostered, llio instilu- tluna nf lughor gradcj-lncluding our colleges, provision was pruoauiy adopted to atom double laxaitun 01 ino same property, uy treating us Tho Joint Ilesolutiun, that tho Senate and unpaid price In tho hands of ono man, as a sub.

It Is obvious, however, that tho no- nun ui sucn a suusmuuon caunui rcasonauiy ue carried to tho extent of the existing enactment and that this provision operates to protect from actual taxation a very considerable amount of personal property through the Slate, without securing any just equivalent in iho taxation of debts. Uuubting whether so general a provision of this character, if indeed any such, can test upon the satisfactory grounds of justico or policy, I commend the subject, in lis various bearings, to your thorough examination. And should you eco ft to enlarge tho basis of taxation, by subjecting to it the properly now practically exempted under the provision aforesaid, I would advise that another effort be made to rovitc and sustain tho Uniform Militia. The necessity may at any time occur, of seeking protection from an organized and efficient milt-tary force, against sudden danger from abroad, or domestic violence. And the only audi force which should or can be invoked at such times is that of the militia a force identified with the people, and always accessible.

A deep feeling of compassionate regret and apprehension is not unfrequcnlly experienced, at the sight of children and lender youth Imprisoned in the common jails as criminal offend-deis. There is rcaron to fear that this mo Jo of dealing with such young persona has by no means the most salutary or refurming influence. When in that condition, they generally find little ot no kind and actiso sympathy surrounding them, and soon come to view themselves as be ing stamped with the mark of permanent exclusion from good society, and from the honorablo pursuits of life. And if tu ibis bo added the) Mr Kcyes presented tho report ol the corn-association in confinement with hackneyed and miltce on Rulca, and Ihe report was adopted. callous malefactors, tho work of effectual de pravalion may but too soon bo consummated.

Such a mode of punishment would, of course, extend to all these minor and pclly oiTcnccs, which srn commonly the incipient steps in tho path of crime. 1 for bear to enter into details, or to suggest whether such establishments should be Iho work of the Slate, or of counties, towns, or other asso ciations having enliru confidence thai alt this will be wisely settled, if the main proposition iikvi jvui ayi'iuuawun. Jly a Resolution of tho Legislature, passed at the session of A. D.

1853, tho Executive was requested to make examinations as to Iho expenses incurred by this State during the Revolutionary War Willi a view to the presentation to Congress of a claim for remuneration, if that course should be thought advisable. rinding tins resolution in force when 1 came into office, I thought it my duly to proceed un der it. Tho examination has accordingly been made to a considerable cxtcot, and I hope to be able, during ihe present session, to haro tho claim in condition to bo presented, if deemed expedient. In pursuanco of a resolution passed at the last session, I appointed a board of Commissioners, consistingof the Hon. Jacob Collamer, tho Hon.

Daniel Kellogg, and tho Hon. Hiland Hall, to rcviso the present laws relating to Railroad Corpcrttions and their very able report is herewith transmitted for your consider ation. By another resolution, at the last session, the Governor was directed to appoint a Commissioner to treat with the Iroquis Indians fur the settlement of their claim to certain lands in this Slate. The Hoa. James M.

Hotchkiss, of La-inoille County, was appointed such Commissioner. His negotiations, as I learn, aro not yet brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Nothing has occurred during the last vear. allay oor just apprehensions of danger to most of the vilal interests of the free Slates, from the determined purpose of a (art of the nation to extend iho limit. influence of slavery.

That purpose is understood to have been msnifested In ihe territory of Kansas, by a course of successful menace and violence equally defiant of law and the rights of opponents. A design Is also indicated, to break dawn that great nrineiido of rnmrnmi Uur hro. loforo universally adraillcd and affirmed, that a slase becomes free, when he enters a free Slate by consent of bis masler. The cxperi- incnt has been Iried, of purposely bringing slaves into a frco Slate, and there claiming a continued propeily in them. And all these events would seem to havo passed with an ac- quiescence, 10 say inc least, on Ihe part or na- lional auiimritips ihe true friends of freedom em scarcel'y con- icnipiaio wiin composure.

The time haa evi. denlly arriied, when all who would oppose thoj co .1 1.. further eocroachmcnU of slavery, should com. bine iheir igorous and persevering efforts fur mat purpose. Suggestions of frugalily in the public expenditures may bo spared as I doubt not you ore already self-commilled to a course of tho siricl-est economy, which you shall think consistent jvu 111111a.

The General Assembly of the SLulo of Vermont is now fully organized in IhjiIi branches, nnd thouork oflegislation has fairly commenced. The officers of the two Houses are the ramo as those of last year with one or two exceptions thru arc noticed in tho legislative report.

I he Senate committee on the Judiciary is coin posed of men of great experience of legal matters, and argues favorably fur the reform nf the last three years, fur, in 185-2, not a practicing lan cr was elected to tho upper branch of tho Legislature. The other com mittees seem to be equally well constituted. A much larger proportion of new members than usual has been elected to the Hdumj the current year. To those who have wen in constant attendance upon the sessions of the "Third House" during the last few years, this lack of familiar faces is painfully sugges tive.

I be olMcncu of such men as Washburn of Woodstock, Kirkland of Brallleboru, of Cabot, Dcono of Cavendish, Stoughlon of Rockingham, Judevina of; llardnick and Spencer of Castlcton, will be seriously felt in thediHCussions that inny arise. hat latent talent there may Im in those who will chiefly supply their places remains tu In! i den-loin-d.

It received a gawcous opposition from some who were seemingly suspicious that the thing ivouhl prove a failure. The hill will undoubtedly pass the Senate, and thus the way trill bo provided for a greater enlightening of the dark ami intricate maze oflegislation. Mr.

Tho hole number of bills already Introduced in the Ilouso exceed thirty. Quite an amusing episode occurred In the proceedings of the House on Monday. Mr. Beard of Pitufield offered resolution providing that much of thu Governor' Message as relates to temperance he referred to ihe committed on temperance.

The chief Interest In the proceedings of the Legislature yesterday, centered In tbo action of the joint Assembly, which met at 2i o'clock to elect Secretary of State and other officers, according to a joint resolation previously adopted. The several ballot thst were taken for a candidate for tbo first named office Indicated thst the differences of opinion manifested la lbs caucus bad not been reconciled. Geo. 11. Thompson was nominated by Mston of Richmond, while Drighsm of Fairfield, named Charles N.

Davenport the Democratic candidate, snd Senator Benedict, that great stickler fur regular nominations and lecturer on the Impropriety nd dishonor attending the refusal to abide by them, nominated Chalen F. Davey, formerly Clerk of the House. The result of five ballotiogs wa no choice, Thompson received 102, and at that point bis sot remained, neither Increasing nor diminishing very sensibly. Dsrry rose from 42 to 8'3, and it is generally believed Out be will be elcclc-1 un less some new mso is brought forward. If elected be will discharge the duties ably and successfully.
