GOV. EVERETT'S ADDRESS. 

 Wc liave not room for thi^ highly interesting and im- 

 portant Address, and advert to it principally for the 

 purposB iif introducing his remarks on Silk. He says: 

 " A law was passed, at the Inst session of the Lef^is- 

 lalure, to encourage the manuliicture of Silk, The 

 bountv provided has been paid to several applicants — 

 Facts which have been developed, in the couise of the 

 year, ajrpear to strengthen the hope, expressed at the 

 commencejnent of the last session, that this hraneh of 

 industry is destined to prove of immense imporiance to 

 the Commonwealth. The ditJicullies in reeling, which 

 were supposed to constitute the great obstacle to the in- 

 troduction ofthe manufacture, have been overcome, and 

 machinery for spinning and weaving, of admirable effi- 

 ciency, has been contrived. Specimens of silk fibrics 

 from power looms at worth in Massachusetts, have been 

 exhibiled to me, which warrant sanguine e.xpectations 

 of entire success in establishing the manufacture." 



The Address represents the several interests of' the 

 Commonvvealth to be in a prosperous condition. $100,- 

 000, has been paid on the appropriation of last session) 

 for stock to the groat Western Railioad. 



A resolve was passed on the 0th of .\pril last, author- 

 izingthe Secretary of the Commonwealth, with the con- 

 sent of the Governor, to receive any sum or sums of 

 money, which may become due to this Commonwealth, 

 t>om the General Government, consequent to the dis- 

 tribution of any portion of the public revenue among the 

 several Stales of Ihe Union. This resolve has been 

 communicated to the Secretary of the Treasury of the 

 United States. The resolve did not appear sufficiently 

 extensive to meet the stipulations contemplated in the 

 act of Congress, June 23, and further legislation, accep- 

 ting the conditions of the act, is necessary in order to 

 entitle Massachusetts to her share ofthe benefits.
