Governor Moore warns, "The recent developments at Harper's Ferry admonish us of the propriety of the State being ready, at all times, to protect the lives and property of her citizens." Moore reports on the State's happy financial situation, its Judiciary, the Public Schools, the Deaf and Dumb School, School Lands, the Geological Report, Penitentiary, a Digest of the Laws, Railroads, and the University of Alabama.
After Lincoln's election, Governor Moore convened the State Convention that adopted the Ordinance of Secession.
