Message :
Tie Governor acknowledges the receipt of • resolution of
the Honourable House of Assembly, expressing a desire to
be put hi posseerion of all the information upon which the
executive arrived at the opinion that " a mighty danger
threatens the land."
With ever, desire to place the fullest information be-
fore the house, it is manifestly impossible to prod** all
the groseds upon which the opinion above quoted was
based. It repainted pertly of oral information from
gentlemen or others connected with the different dis-
tricts, partly of information contained in private letters
to the Governor, and in letters to members of the Exe-
cutive Committee, or to other gentlemen of position,
which were shown to the Governor ; partly of represent&
Sion from surnodes or magistrates, et the alarming state
of their districts, of seditious and threatening language
being openly indulged in, of threatening letter, of night
meetings of the peasantry, of *sanctioned drilling being
carried on in various places, of statements of the
insecure and unprotected state of the
applications for troops, for men-of-win, for arms, fee
extra police or constables, for formation of volunteer corps,
; the whole tending to show that sedition sod r-
lus intention werewide spread through the land, and d-
in most of the parishes the residents, who were best able to
judge of the temper and feeling of the peasantry amend
them, ware in a state of apprehension and alarm.
Even in Kingston, well protected as it is by • large
military faros and by the volunteers, so convinced •
werld note the
magistrates that • state of things existed which cou
be mot by the ordinary civil arrangements of the country,
that they especially requested the Governor to return from
the seat of the rebellion in the eastern parishes, in order to
place Kingston also under martial law.
But the best test palm*s of the accuracy of the infor-
mation upon which the government founded its
ion,opinihe is
to be found in the opinions of the two branches
legelature, in their replies to the opening address.
The gentlemen oomprising the Legislative Council coming
from various parts of the island, and with the bast
mesas of obtaining full and accurate information, abso-
lately endorsed the views expressed in the Governor's
opening address, that " there is scarcely • district
throughout the island where disloyalty, sedition, and
murderous intentions are not widely dissem
and openly expressed," whilst the members of the honour-
able house Well, many of them also coming from the
country districts, and possessing similar means of know-
ledge of what is going on to that enjoyed by the members
of the Legislative Council, express their opinion that
nothing but a strong government can prevent this island
from lapsing into • second Hayti.
The grand jurors of Hanover and Saint James have also
expressed their opinion that the spirit of disaffection is
widely spread throughout the land.
With this general statement of the grounds upon which
the opinion of the executive was founded, and of the con-
current testimony by which it is borne out, the Governor
appends such documentary evidence as can be got ready,
illustrative of the state of feeling existing amongst the
black population, but these few papers bear a small pro-
portion to the multitudinous communications which have
come under the Governor's notice bearing upon the Name
