Almost the'entire outside of to-ditty's-pa-

James Pollock, Governor of l'ennagyauia.

but because it will form a part of the history

'Under Gov. 'Airier, there was the most rigid
economy practised. and it is fortunate for
Gov. Pollock that be is in a position to have
it Mills power to boast over results which .
can lie clearly traced to his Democratic pre,
d ive asor. The balance in the treasuryorith
the receipts, amounted, on the 30th, day of
Noveiolier last, to 5C1,631,402.83. Tho pay
ments for the same period were 55,385,706.-

a high complement to his predecessor, when
he says that " no loans, temporary or other
wise, were negotiated during tho past, fiscal
year, as they tt ere not rennin:A by the it ants
of the treasury." • This at least is an ad
that the fruits of an enlightened
policy are appreciated by tflls Know-Nothing
l i Governor. Indeed, the message, although

principally detoted to the public

of any further agitation of the sale of the
