The Governor's message to the Legislature, relative to the Massachusetts Claim is accompanied by documents, and contains a brief statement of the measures which have been taken relative to it since the last session, of which our readers have been before apprised from other sources. The Governor says, "The conduct of the Claim in regard to its allowance by Congress is considered to be in the care of the delegates from this State and the State of Maine. But as it appears from the letter of the Secretary of War, herewith transmitted, that the passage of the Bill for allowing the claim to the next session, will be essentially aided by the complete auditing and a full report from that department, of the residue of the Claims, it is highly necessary that efficient measures be adopted to effect this object."

"To this end it is necessary that an efficient Agent should be immediately and constantly employed; and I recommend to the Legislature to make provision for such an Agent, with authority to employ a clerk, if necessary."

We are glad to perceive that the subject is duly attended to, yet we believe not a few will be disappointed when they find, that notwithstanding the election and re-election of Gov. Eustis, which was to work such wonders, no calculation can yet be made on the time when it will be finally adjusted, and that there is no certainty that it will not continue a standing reason for his re-election as long as he lives.
