The method of keeping accounts for fines, forfeitures and bills of costs, prescribed in and by the Resolve of the 16th of February 1828, will obviously create in the office of the Secretary of State very numerous accounts, with Sheriffs, their Deputies and Coroners in every part of the State. An alteration of the system, so far as to make one officer in each county chargeable with the collection and payment of these sums, is recommended.

There are several appropriations made by former Legislatures for specific objects which have been applied, only in part, and are not now needed for the purposes for which the appropriations were made; yet the balances appear on the books as a charge upon the Treasury. A schedule of the accounts is transmitted herewith, and it is submitted to the consideration of the Legislature, whether these same unexpended balances may not be transferred to some other appropriation, and the old accounts balanced.

A communication has been received for the Governor of Louisiana, enclosing a resolution of the General Assembly of that State, passed the 4th of February last, proposing "that the constitution of the United States, be so amended, that the President and Vice President shall hold their offices for the term of six years, and that the President shall be ineligible afterwards". The Governor of the State of Georgia has transmitted sundry resolutions of the general assembly of that State concurring with the proposal of the State of Missouri, "to give to the people of the United States the privilege of voting directly for the President and Vice-President, without the intervention of electors",
