Return J. Meigs 1811 State of the State Address
Governor Return J. Meigs, Jr. delivered this annual message to the General Assembly of Ohio in December 1811. These eight pages are excerpted from the 1811/1812 Senate Journal. Meigs (1764-1825), a Democratic-Republican, served as governor from 1810 until his resignation in 1814 to assume the position of Postmaster General. Prior to his gubernatorial service, Meigs was also Chief Justice of the Ohio State Supreme Court and a member of the U. S. Senate. As governor, Meigs was instrumental in recruiting troops for the War of 1812. It was during his administration that the legislature chose the location for Ohio's capital and began planning the construction of a statehouse and a penitentiary.
