-INAUGURAL ADDRESS,
Gentlemen of the Senate '
and House of Repreientatites:
The present is to me an hour of serious thought
and feeling. In assuming the office to which the
State has called me, I caunot forbear to express
tie gratitude 1 feel for the confidence, she ropo
ses in me; and which it shall be in; study never
to betray. Next to ih approbation of God I
prize th confidence of my fellow men.
1 regret that I cannot bring to the discharge of
the high duties devolving upon me, better quali
fications and riper experience. I am aware that
the excellent Constitution of Ohio, does not ac
cord to her Chief Magistrate that power and pa
tronage, with which it is usual for our republican
government to clothe the highest executive of
fice, but, it is nevertheless apparent that the of
fice of Governor of Ohio is one of great respon
sibility. That ark which beats the interests and
character of two millions of fteemetris one on
which no considerate man would rudely lay even
a thoughtless hand. My sense of responsibility,
However, is much lightened by ihe li'gli esiim.it.
I enleitain of the wisdom of the legislaiuie.
You will pardon me if I give vent at this mo
ment, to a feeling of patriotic pride. Ohio has
been my home for the greater part of a long life,
now chawing to a close. It has been my privi
lege to see the wilderness blossom as the rose,
and the solitude of the savage fill up wiJi a po
nutation of glad, industrious aud civilized men
Other States have their advantages, but in any
of them lfeel a stranger; within our own beau
tiful borders lies the region of my choice, and
which 1 would exchange for no State on the con
tinent, no island of Ihe sou. With a soil which
yields a rich harvest to tho reaper's hand; a cli
mate well adapted to call forth the highest natu
ral and mental energies of man; a w.se and vir
tuous population; a Constitution formed on just
ideas of human rights and wants, commercial,1
political, of extraordinary importance, and unde
veloped resources beyond competition, Ohio is
destined undei the smiles of Providence, to see
no superior in this great confederacy.
In no period of our history have we had grea
ter cause for gratitude to the Alnvghty than the
present. Our basket and store overillows vv.th
rait. Our hands are nerved with mglit. Our
feet find rest and our hearts repose in quiet habi
tations. Our credit is respected at home and
abroad; political asperities are softening, and
the whole population is cheerfully pursuing the
career of prosperity, education and virtue. In
acknowledg:ng the hand whence all our blessings
flow, I trust that my voice is in harmony with the
hearts of my countrymen. The gieal inquiiy is,
how we can retain our rich inheritance?
The first and most important of all tho politi
cal measures of a republican government, is lu
quicken, strengthen, and educate the youthful
public mind. Whore the elective franch.se is al
most universal, it is iudispeusible that the mass
f the people bo instructed in moral aud politi
cal science.
On this point argument is unnecessary, since
it is universally aduiiltedthil the perpetuity of
our political institutions depends, under God,
upon the diffusion of sound education. An unin
formed people, with the best constitution, are as
unstable as the sea, and utieily incapable of fix
ing any safe and settled pol.ey, but aie designed
to be the dupes of the reckless and designing,
and after successful effoits at self-goveininciu,
to surrender their liberties.
The wise framers of our excellent constitu
tion, were careful to lay, in that instrument, the
basis of a system of public instruction; and ev
er since the orgaiiizitiou of the Stale govern
ment, hie Legislature has given mote or lesu at
tention to th s suLjcc'.
Although I would propose no radical ch uige
in the present school law, yet, I humbly conceive
that experience has shown that it is not incapa
ble of impioveme'nt; and 1 submit to the cx-nsid-ratiou
of the Legislature, whether it ouylit not,
at this time, to undergo revision ; whether altera
tions are not demanded, to elevate tins character
of the school teacher; to secure such a unifor
mity of school books, as is compititiWo with
the progress of improvement in the art of in
struction; to widen the sphore of common school
education, so that it may embrace, not only the
elements of that knowledge which is essential to
the ordinary intercourse and business of tho hum
blest walks of civilized life, but. also, the i mo
ments of moral und practical science; to provide
for a more strict accountability of directors, ex
aminers, and all other officers acting under the
law; and for the appointment of, a general super
inteudant of instruction.
Collegiate education has an important bear
ing on common school instruction. If is to ihe
college that we are to look for the competent
teacher, the qualified examiner, the interested
director, and the quickening of that spirit which
, demands cultivation of the common mind.
Influenced by views of this nature, General
- Washington frequently urged upon Congress the
establishment of a National University; and that
body as frequently made munificent endowments
for State Univeisities. The Colleges at Athens
and Oxford, under our immediate control, are
deserving your consideration. Although they
have been of inestimable service in fixing the
standard of collegiate education in our State,
and with furnishing us with many well educated
and valuable citizens, yet, it is feared, that they,
Jiko other State institutions of the kind, have,
not fulfilled the just expectations ofthe cointnu-'
nity. It is highly desirable that the failure be
traced to ihs causes, and that such means as are
within the power of the Legislature may bo cm
ployed to render them efficient auxiliaries in the
work of improvement.
Professional education has received but little
attention from the State Govcrnmeut. Tho Mo-
. dical college of Ohio may, however, be claimed
as a State institution; aud if is worthy of its na-
rentage. It has, however, received no appropri
ations oi late, ana nas been so prosperous as to
outgrow its buildings.
The faithful trustees to whom its interests arc
committed, will, iu due time, present its claims,
which I commend to your favorable consideration ;
more especially, as they can probably be cancel
led with tin auction tund of the city, within
whose limits the Collece is located. Tho health
' and lives of community are as properly the sub-
jetis . oi.. rregislatiye protection as its pork and
flour.
. The law heretofore existing, which imposed
penalties and disabilities upon such practitioners
of medicine as did not oive satisfactory virion
of adequate acience and skill, proved inefficient,
and was regarded by the public as anti-republi--
can and odioua. By rendering medical schools
respectable, and medical knowledge accessible,
we accomplish the object, effectually and in an
unexceptionable mode. If public opinion would
justify the measure, I should be glad to see the
"P.. portals of our modicnl schools by a permanent
endowment of their profossorship) thrown wide
- open to tne poorest youtn in the land,
There are certain sciences which, bee
i' . lhy cannot be cuiijyaled at private expense,
have alwaya received more or less of legislative
, encouragement, in civilized countries; among
ii " aciences are ueographjr and A'ronpmj,
tt is the practice of tire nation. to explore the
distant coasts; but ought ire not to survey out
own bills and valleys. A more thorough and ex
tensive examination of our own natural history
and geology, would result in valuable contribu
tions to science, and would be revealing un
known sources, repay a thousand fold the expense
which it might incur. A small appropriation is
all that 1 would suggest at present.
I advert with pride, to the fact that an Obser
vatory has sprung up within the last year in our
own Queen City, which is 1 kely to become the
best light-house of the skies in this hemisphere.
M iy its exploring eyes discover truths to com
pensate in some humble degree for the valuable
knowledge we have derived in the last hall cen
tury from Europe. I am not aware that it asks
any a d from the State, but I would not pass su
proud a monument without notice.
Among the varous subjects to which your at
tention will be called, perhaps no one is of deep
er interest to your constituents nt this time, than
tho question of Banks and the currency. Oni
15 inks are reduced to eight in number, aud some
of them ate preparing to close their business.
Tnat Banks piomo:e our prosperity is no longer
a mooted ques.ioti. Tuey incieaso the produc
tive industry of the country, furnish facilities
for' commercial operations, and afford a currency
which is readily counted, easily and safely trans
ported, and, under proper regulations, converti
ble into specie at the w II of the holder.
That B.uiks aie liable to failme and suspen
sion, capable of expanding and contracting their
circulation at will, and subject to the frauds of
dishonest directors aud stockholder, are reasons
for regulating but not' destroying them. The
English language has been the medium of im
measurable evil, but who proposes to abolish its
use? Tocslablish an exclusive nielalic curren
cy whilst our sister States have Banks is impos
sible. Legislation cannot pi event the use of a
paper currency. Slop its entrance at one ave
nue, and it will coine in with redoubled force at
another. To say that one man shall not pay & an
other receive what they mulu illy agree upon in
a bargain, can answer no valuable purpose among
a free and independent people. Legislation
may vitiate a currency it seldom improves one.
What system of Banking shall bo adopted at
this lime in the Stale of Oiiio? M uiy evils have
attended our former policy ,and they might have
been expected. The dilliculty of devising a
safe system in n new country is very great; the
balance of Irade being against it, there is a per
petual drain upon its specie; and its capitalists
bcinj few, its U inks are generally established
by those who wish to borrow- rather than lend.
Still, the banks of 0!i;o have contributed lanre-
4y to lior wealth and improvement; and the pre
sent prosper; 'y of the State encourages the hope
th.-.t tier blinking institutions can be placed upon
good foundations.
It must be admitted, however, that the ques
tion of the currency is one requiring much cau
tious deliberation, in consen notice of the various
opinions on tho subject and tho magnitude and
complexity of the iuteiesis it involves. To
make a Bank which s!i ill be safe, practicable and
popular is the problem, and is one of no easy so
iti. ion.
Tho State Banks of sister Stales have no!
proved more useful or secure than local ones.
Their connexion wiih the Government is liable
to abuse, and exposes them to the prejudices t.f
the people, which ouht never to he overlooked,
when they can be regarded without detriment to
the public intciesl.
The existing general law may be safe, but it
is not practical. le.
A system of local banks cannot meet with
general favor,-. because it confers, according to
inn pariiutuy oi ine locaitues, great anu exclu
sive privileges, and its adjustment gives rise to
tioubiesome conflicts, not to say cotiiiptioii.
Tho svs'.eiu befoie Ihe last Legislature, and
which is similar to that adopted in New Yotk,
meets with considerable favor. It is liable, how
ever, lo a serious objection. It would subject
us too much to the mercy of Wall Street.
The following plan, which is a modification of
the system referred to, it seems to me, obviates
this objection:
1st. Let the system of banking bo free; this
would secure its popularity.
2d. Let every bank be compelled to keep in
its vaults, at till times, one-third of its circula
tion in specie for the redemption of'its bills; this
would pievout unnatural contraction and expan
sion in the ctiriency.
oJ- Let each bank deposito with tho State
Treasurer, as security," for its circulation, the a-
mount it issues, cither in Ohio State stocks, or
in real estate within the limits of Ohio, at half
its appraised valuo on the tax list, independent
of perishable improvements.
4th. Let every hank be required to have a
capital of at least Jj;.r(),000 actually paid in.
5th. Let there be adequate guards against a
diminution of the security, by depreciation ofthe
valuo of iho stock or real estate held in trust
by the Stale Treasurer, and against fraudulent
action on Ihe pint of the batiks.
till). Let thero he also provisions for the ex
cicise of a necessary scrutiny into their opera
tions from lime to time, and for tho censure of
such as may fail to pay their bills on presenta
tion, at their respective counleis.
7th. Let their be due limits upon the capacity
of Iho stockholder to borrow iu the bank in
which his stock is held.
The fiist inquiry which arises in examining
this plan, is as to its practicability. This will
ppear, if we consider what will bo the probable
profits to the stockholder on his actual invest
ment.
For the State stock, or reul estate held as se
curity, he continues to receive his profits, to wit:
his interest on the State bonds, and his rents for
real estate.
For the 331 per cent., paid, he would receive
18 per cent., if the isrues wore all the time at
their maximum limits; but as this is impossible,
perhaps the average issue could not safely be
estimated at more than $250 on each $100
paid in. This would give the banker 15 per
cent. Deduct for expenses and losses, say five
percent., and wo have a profit of 10 per cent.
Secondly: Is this system safe? What is the
socurity to the bill-holder? Say ho holds in his
hand a $10 bill, for this fie has as security, 1st
ho ten dollars deposited in the State Treasury,
in real estate, or in Mate stocks. Sndly. I liree
dollars thirty-threo and a third cents in specie in
iho vaults of the bunk. tfdlv. Ue has tho dis
counted note on the borrower und his endorser,
(ton dollars,) making in all a security of
.Mi ten dollars of winch is in the hands of a
Slate officer, who is disinterested
If it is objected that real estate is not readily
converted into tnonoy, it may be answered, 1st
That the amount of specie required to be paid
in, mnkes tho resoit to the collateral security of
doubtful necessity, xd. 1 he real estate is sub
jected to sell at one-half instead of two-thirds its
appraised value; and that value to bo fixed by
the Assessor.
If it should be suid that the plan suggested,
nas been tried, and condemned in Michigan, the
answer is, that, upon camparison, the above draft
difTora materially from the "free banking lavf"

ted and saleable whilst those of Michigan, on
which the banks were based, were for the most
part, wild and unsaleable. This plan is prefera
ble, in my opinion, to the one proposing State
stocks alone, because it would enable the citizens
of Ohio who have subjected resources to enter
into the business of banking, without being sub
jected to unreasonable impositions of Eastern
Capitalists and Stock-jobbers; whilst, at the
same time, it would cause an influx of capital
from tho e isr.
Just complaint has often been made agaiutt
the mode in which the convicts of out Peniten
tiary have been employed. Their labor has
been brought into direct competition with that of
our Mechanics and Manulacturcs to their mani
fest injury. There is no doubt that the convic:
labor can be so directed os to compete with foi
eign labor alone, without being made less pro
ductive than it has been heretofore. No class of
our citizens is better entitled to protection than
the one to which reference is made, aud I take
the earliest opportunity to attract your notice to
lliia subject, and to recommend a radical change,
at s early a period as it can be efFected cons st
ernly with a proper management of tho Prison.
It is also worthy of consideration whether some
thing more cannot be done for the reformation of
that unfortunate, but dangerous, class of our fcl-luw-citzens,
wiio are suffering the penalty ol
ihe law.
Permit me to call your attention to the laws
on our Statute B.ok, which lay restrictions and
disabilities on the unfortunate coloied population
of our State. Laws which are too severe to be
executed or obeyed, can answer no valuable pur
pose. It does appear to me that a revision of
those laws is now called for, and that reason,
justice and mercy demand a mitigation of their
penalties.
It will be perceived by the Legislature, that n
revision of the Militia Law is demanded by the
people of the Slate. In a republic like ours, a
standing army is regarded as dangerous and hos
tile to liberty, and repugnant to the feelings of
the people. It is to the militia we should look
for assistance in repelling invasion from abroad,
and suppressing tumults and insurrection at homo,
and to aid the civil authorities in the preserva
tion of order, and the due execution of ihe laws.
The existing law exempts most of tho militia from
duty in time of peace, it creates an inequality
between the independent companies and those
relieved from duty; hence, it. is believed, thai
tho present law, if permitted to remain in force,
will abolish our military organization.
In my introductory remarks, 1 alluded to the
limited power of tho Executive with feelings
of pride, I recur to it. This peculiarity in oui
constitution mark the superior wisdom of its
framers. Man is fond of power, and the history
of the human race shows that he is strongly and
almost invariably inclined to its abuse. Hence,
the more narrow tho limits within which Execu
tive power arid prerogative is confined, consis
tently with a safe aud elicicnt administration,
the better for tho people. It is contended that
the veto is neeessaiy to prevent hasty and ill-advised
legislation, and to guard against infiactions
i f the Constitution. Theory must bow to posi
tive tact on this subject. After an experiment
of Ibrty-two years we have found no necessity
Cor such a power in our State government. 1;
has been contended also that the nalronaije of
;he Executive is indispensable to its efliciency;
and that, if lodged with tho Legislature, we
should have corruption without rcsiionsibildv in
appointments lo olhco. So tar as our expen
once as a State Government goes, it contradicts
the hypothesis
Tho framers of the Constitution of tho Uni
ted States were apprensive that the Executive
would not have adequate power; and many years
liter ihe organ. zalion ot tho government, many
revolutionary statesmen and panics, viewing our
Constitution in contrast with the governments of
Europe, were fearful it was " a rope of sand."-
Had they lived to our own day, however, their
teats would have run in the reverse direction.
It is loo obvious to escape ihe observation of
even the superficial observer, that the tendency
of our general government is to consolidation.
i'here Ins been, for years psist, a gradual accu
nidation of power in the centre.
We have seen measures, after being canvassed
hy the people, and passed deliberately by a strong
majority of their llepresentalivcs, arrested by
Ihe veto, in hands too, which from tho peculiar
delicacy of the mode in which they were clad
with supremo authority, ought lo have handled
tho "one man power" with great hesitancy and
modesty
The exercise of the veto has, of lute years,
become so common as scarce to excite astonish
ment or observation. It is a mailer of gratula
tion that the American people are discussing the
question whether this tremendous power cannot
he restrained, and the patronage of the Execu
t.vo curtailed
Should their objecls be accomplished wc
should have more rational liberty, less excite
men t, aud less corruption in our elections. With
gratification we can point to our government as a
model, and to own our expcr'ctice, as an argil
ment m favor ol both these reforms.
Of measures ofnaiiontil policy il is hardly to be
presumed that I should speak. There are, howe
ver, three, which have a bearing so direct upon
the interests ol the stale, and winch are so promi
nently before the people, that I cannot, pass them
unnoticed. Of these the first is the tariff. If
all nations adopt tho policy of free trade, the ap
propriate direction ot the labor ot the country
would be agricultural. A free trade will) the
world, is not to be expected; and the restrictions
of one nation, cull for the protective measures
ot the other. Jo sooner hud the war of the
Revolution closed, and the commerce of this
country with Great Britian been renewed, tliun
the evils of the British policy were seriously fell
and there is no doubt that the want of power
uiider the articles of confederation to counteract
this policy, was one of the first and most opera
tive of the reasons which led to the formation
of the federnl constitution. After the organiza
tion of the Government tho protection of domes
tic induslry was recommended by all the earlier
administrations; but until 1815 the wars of Lu
ropo and olher causes, creatine an increased de
mand for agricultural products, countervailed the
unequal laws ofthe mother country nnd superce
ded the necessity of protection. Tho tariff of
'10 soon led, by its obvious benefits, to a more
general one iu '24. But of Into yeuis it is to be
regretted that various Opinions have prevailed,
and a changing policy has been adopted.
To traverse tho arguments of political econo
mists for and against a tariff, would be easy but
fruitless. An ounce of fact is worth a tono of
theory, The following are obvious truths: 1st.
That tho tiuiff has raised tho valuo of agrjcullur
ul productions. 2nd. That it has diminished the
price of manufactures. 3rd. That it has open
ed a more stable market for our products. Not
tho least of the advantages of the tariff is an
emancipation from our dcpcndcnco upon the na
tionsof Europe for much of tho means of native
defence. Who does not know that clothing and
blankets areas necessary to an armyns powder
and ball? It is a remarkable fact, that under
viw "perHuon. oi me wii. our xporui ouvc
ineeaed rather than diminished, owing to
'.k .' t.: n- . . c a i . t ' -
the stimulating effect of the protective policy
There is no measure of government lietter adop
ted to dcvelope our resources, increase our
wealth, and fill up our unoccupied lands with
ind.if-trious and liappy people. Oujjht not the
Legislature to speak out on this subject, if they
concur with me in the viows esprcssedt
Another subject to which lalluded, is the tn
nexation of Texas. Argument on this s-ibjeet
would be uncalled for, and out of place in this
address; but I may be permitted to say, that
such are the eflbcis which the proposed measure
would have upon the ntitional treasury, tho na
tional fitiih, the extension of slavery, and the
peace nnd prosperity of the Union, thr.t I sub
mit to the wisdom of the Legislature whether
clear and direct note of remonstrance should
not be uttered against it.
In no meostire of nTitionnl character have the
cople a deeper interest than in the distribution
t the proceeds ot the Public Lands. A debt
is been contracted to nuke the internal im
provements of our State, and to enable her to
meet her engagements with creditors, to sust in
he honor, and to relieve the people of the our
then of direct taxation, and it is indispensable
that Ohio should receive her equitable propor-
on ol this inexhaustible fund. 1 his measure
:is been iuvesti'r ited nnd decided upon by large
imjoritics of the American people. It has nlso
nee n investigated by their representatives, and
hills t.) enrrv the measure into effect have been
passed by large majorities iu Congress, r.nd
twice defeated bv the will of two men. I advert
this subject now, not with a view that justice
will be extended to tho Stales during the present
crisis, but for the purpose of keeping it before
the Legislature, that, at ibc proper ti ne, nu ex
pression may be given.
