Excerpt from Message of the Governor of Oregon, to the Legislative Assembly: Fifth Regular Session, September, 1808
With cordial greeting I welcome you, on your coming to gether at the State Capital. In thus assembling to discharge the duties devolving upon us under the Constitution, it should be our first act to make known our gratitude to Almighty God for His goodness to us since last we met, and to ask His guidance in all that we do at this assembling. We have been the favored ones of the Republic. Neither War, nor Famine, nor Pestilence, have come within our borders. Peace, and Health, and Plenty, have held undisturbed dominion over us. And it gives me pleasure to say that the people of Oregon have not been unmindful of these blessings. Everywhere within our borders the hand Of industry has wrought dili gently, and a rapid development of all the material resources of our State has been the result. And as the servants of the people, and for the time being the custodians of their inter ests, it becomes our duty to exercise the powers thus conferred upon us in such manner as shall do the. Greatest good to the people whom we represent.

These messages chronicle significant events such as the conclusion of the Indian war in eastern Oregon, the establishment of the Oregon Branch of the Central Pacific Railroad, and the creation of the State Asylum for the Insane. The financial condition of the state is also thoroughly documented, from reports by the State Treasurer and Secretary of State.
