 The Governor submitted a message announcing 

 that the State would probably be shortly called on 

 its shore towards the erection of the inonu- 

 a Independence Souarc, Philadelphia, under 

 the law of Is.Yt, authorizing the Cnmniissionii lo

 Stales, and agree to pay a stipulated sum towards 

 such monument. The Governor recommends the 

 repeal of the law on the ground of ihe reduced state 

 of the finances. New York's share, on estimated 

 coal of the monument, will exceed $50,000. The 

 Governor considers Independence Hall a sufficient 

 monument to the Ifoi'luralion of Independence, but 

 suggests that Now York will cheerfully bear her 

 share when beller able to do so, if Ihe monument
