Book excerpt: Excerpt from Message of the Governor of Ohio, to the Fifty-Fourth General Assembly: At the Session Commencing January 2, 1860 Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives: The people, with whom is the sole sovereignty of the State, have committed to you, for the fifth biennial period under the existing Constitution, the legislative authority of the Commonwealth. Upon this first secular day of the new year you assume the great function thus assigned to you, and enter upon the performance of your important duties. Powers of government, delegated by the people of free States to chosen Representatives, whether Legislative, Judicial or Executive, are sacred trusts. The people who honor, by such proofs of confidence, those whom they select for employment in public functions, have a clear right to expect from them fidelity, zeal, and unremitting diligence in the promotion of the public good. Having confided, by election, the powers of government to citizens of their choice, they return to their respective avocations trusting confidently that all public interests and public rights will be diligently promoted and faithfully guarded, and that each individual will be fully protected by equal laws and impartial administration, while contributing, in his sphere, to the general good by private thrift. How weighty the obligation which such confidence must impose on right-minded men! How deep and earnest the solicitude which all true-hearted representatives must feel, that neither by remissness, nor by indifference, nor by abuse, the just expectations of a generous people may be disappointed! No extraordinary changes in the condition of the State have occurred during the past year. Private and public affairs have gradually recovered from the depressing effects of financial revulsion and official delinquency. Health has invigorated and sustained the energies of industry.
