Message of the Governor Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives. XVI [ See Journal of the Senate Page 85-]
The new and responsible relation in which I stand to you and to the People, cannot but bring with it the associations which have accompanies the performance of the duties of another, in the Executive department of the Government for the political year which has just expired. The sudden removal by death of my Predecessor, in the first Executive office of the State, from the service and honors of the Public, has excited the deepest sensibilities of his immediate associates, and should impress upon us, not only a recollection of the transient and evanescent tenure of public and official station, but of life itself; and that the results and consequences of our Councils and our Acts as Public Agents, will, in all probability, in a greater or less degree, affect the public interest, when we shall also have passed from the scenes of the present life.
