There is only of the whig papers of the interior that has not poured indscriminate abuse the last message of Gov. Bagby-namey. .the Perry (Marion) Eagle. That paper approves of changing the mode of electng directors, but doubts whether the Cover nor's plan is best. It says =
 ''We not sure that the Governors plan i' the best which could be devised, if the present mode is | abandoned. We would prefer to givetle nominating power to the Supreme Court Judges, or to.a Board of Commissioners, to be appointed by them for that purpose, and then let the Senate confirm the nomna- tons. The nominations should be removed as far as possible from political influence. The. number of Directors proposed by the Governor is loo sma- We think four and President, suitable nuIp- Der to perform the duties of Directory, than two and President, as proposed by the Governor.' a.
 If the fear of political influence be reason for abolishng the State Bank System, the same reason will hold for aboshng almost every other public ir- stitution. Every thing is under politicsinAuence in this country and must necessarily be. The question be decided Is, how this influence will be exercis- ed with the least eyil and this believe to be by giving the power of appointing directors totlie Gov ernor, with the aid of the Senate The system has worked well in inTennessee under tAs regulation, and
 great part of the merit o it is attributed to this ve- ty cause. .
 The Herald continues: r "
 "The question of taxation the Governor has frank ly and fearessly presented, and we hope and trust the legislature will meet it with equal frankness and fearlessness. ltis question have to meei soon CT or later, and we may as well grapple with it now to delay It until a mure cnnvenient season. Ii ought really to have been met sooner. Last ear d small tax should have been laid as beginning A drecttax to pay the necessary expenses of the State does pUt alapnus. We believe it to be the only jus, and honest way of raising npney for that purpose Indirect taxes always bear unequally, because man pays taxes what he cousuaies, and not upon what he possesses. But direct tax forces property to pay for its own protection, as it alwat ssh ,ult.'
 This IS manly and will be appt,rrd by the candid of all paites. Let direct tax be imposed, anJ the people will know how much the government costs sand take good care, too at t will not cdsr ,nueh It is this indirect way of calling , people for money, that is one o ibe greatest ,eel1ns ID te disribu- ton b The less intelligent nf jbe people may fan cy thar the proceeds from thai jaqaitous measure are 50 much clear gratuity fr their use; but they will probably be startled when they discover that for eve ry fifty thousand dollars they receive hy it, they are compelled to pay about seventy five thousand. This IS the way the party cram their measures down the hroats of the pubic. They gd their spurious coil, and call it solid gold. I
 We only hope that the legislature now in SC sson will promptly and decidedly reject the proceeds from that bill. If can't repeal or nullify ii, we can vindeate our principles by not touching trc unholy bribe which it sends forth for party purposes. ..
 The Herald concludes as follows;
 "His Exeellency represents, in strong and glowing language, the necessity of preserving ibe public fa
 insolale. And we have the proud satisfaction of believing that such patriotic sentiments will meet a hearty response from every citizen of the State of Alabama" f. (. It
