would say that It points to a principal per.
in the life of such men. namely, the violent
craving for one kind of cxci,erc which is

serYc that there are two false aPPctltcs t"
which h. is iiab!e--the one an appetite result

altogether morbid, is not to be relied upon
for digestion in tire same degree as that which
results from boldly exercise; the other pro-
cceding from nervous rritabiIity, which is
purely ialiacious. Those to whom public
speaking is much Of an effort, tard it tries
the nerves of men, even aftcrthcy have
been accustomed TO it for years,) should, if
possible, dine lightly at east an hour before
thew are called on to speak, and should re-
sist the propensity which they feel to cat

Railroad cars were not then in operation to
Jackson,) at least per cent. So that by the
time tie money was lodged in the bank at
Jackson the state would have expended 81 per
cent, of the sum of 1857 ,5O0-oNE HUNDRED
AND EIGHTY THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED DOL
LARs--or $4,16l 70--more than the Cover
nor says was lost in interest,"! Now, is it not
idle to talk about par? The commissioners
beleved-and honestly believed. that they
were receiving par for the bonds, when the
sum of 5 millions of dollars was deposited,
subject TO the control of the bank. at a point
where she could realize from three to five per
cent. on her checks, drawn against the de-
poSlte. This is too plain to require further
calculations But is it not strange, that they
should be condemned for their very best ex-
ertions to save the state and the bank? They
could not by any other course have realized
the par for the bonds. | think therefore, you
will agree with me, that this 5th objection
OF the Governor, rests on too flimsey a foun-
dation to be sustained by honest and intelli-
gent men.
said in my first letter, that the question
to be decided, was one purely of ethics,-that
In as much as the state could not be sued, her
legal liability could never be tested. When
a man is beyond the reach of legal process,
he is under no legal restraint. He has no guide,
and nothing to regulate or govern his actions
but the dictates of his inward monitor,-con-
science. So also with the state. AS she is
beyond the reach of legal process, it is folly
to talk of her legal obligations. But the state
is but mass of individuals acting in commu-
nifty, and her decisions will be guided, govern
ed and directed by the consciences of the peo-
pie. am not willing to believe so badly of
the moral sense of the people of this state, as
TO doubt their decision on this all important
