our NEXT GOVERNOR.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
The adroitness which is displayed by Gov.
McNutt, in his message, or rather the cunning
manifested by the individuals who had the
compilation and writing of that document, is
certainly beyond common praise. The me
sage is well calculated to aJlay much party and
individual animosity which exists against our
Fqzstaf chief magistrate; out if we are not
mistaken in the signs of the times, the Cover
nor viii fail TO discover any more green in the
eyes of the Wings than the lion discovered
in those of the foe. Although the message
contains considerable matter that is excellent
in its nature, the great body of the people viii
understand the whole of it to be an election
ecring document, well calculated to lead astray
the wavering in politics, if not some strong OPP
ponents of the Governor and bis loco foco
principles; and fromthe fact that some - or
20 thousand copies Of it has been printed by
the public printer, at Jackson, for gratuitious
distribution, it is evident that the Governor in
tends that it shall do all his electioneering for
the next campaign.
twill be perceived by almost every 6bserv-
ing person that the Governors message, is, in
many respects, a Wing document, and that it
contains some of the doctrines and principles
for which the Wings are contending. OF
course all that is commendabIe would be
recommended and sustained by the Wing can
didate, whoever he may be, for the very reason
that so far as the sanitary, and republican re-
concentrations contained in it, would carry
out the principles and doctrines of his own
party. We think the people have been. suf-
fciently gulled already by Gov. McNutt and
his loco foco brethren, to be cautious how they
trust them IN future A short time since the
whole gang were opposed to Modification, and
bitter were the anathemas uttered against al
those who advocated State Rights aud State
remedies. Now they aver that the NIlTfers
are .bpne of their bone, and flesh of then
flesh" and singular to say they qlpqys hare
been! Some of the same party win lay claim
to the title of Wings, in order. to perpetuate
their power, and alter their sounding and new
tangled title of g Democratic and State Rights
Paqy," that it may read /" Democratic and
WING SLATE Rights Party" These Van
Buren, men are cunning set of fellows, and
| it behoves every Wing to be on the alert, for
with their thousand and one c1ap-tr2ap5s, we
are in some danger Of loosing the election 2 oi
a Wing Governor next fall. Let every Wing
be on his guard and not be gulled by loco foco
soPhistry, and our next Governor win be quite
a different person fromA. G. McNutt.
