in the enjoyment of every comfort their hapless condition renders possible-we unhesitatingly submit it to your hon orable body, with all confidence that the warmest emotions of State pride will be satisfied, the highest scientific requirements answered, the most exacting claims of intelligence and philanthropy fully met. To your intelligent scrutiny we submit it, only praying that your conclusions be reached in view of the acknowledged difficulties everywhere attending the care of the insane; that in regard to no class should there be brought abilities of supervision more comprehensive, nor is there one so much demanding, in these relations, the best qualities in human nature. That the Institution has had the benefit of such qualities, for a lengthened succession of years, your Board has had no reason to question. It is not we alone who are guardians of this sacred trust. It is borne in common with every heart feeling the throb of human sympathy. EDWARD G. MINER, President. FRANCIS A. HOFFMAN, FERNANDO JONES, ISAAC L. MORRISON. JACKSONVILLE, ILL., Dec. 9, 1868.
