THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

III Wv EsAhNOEaia ME60ANG Ess
To the almost entire exclusion ofcvery thing
else We publish in to-day's paper the Governors
Message. Our first intention in regardtO il was
to present a synopsis of such parts as we sup,
posed might DO interesting to the public, leaving
out all his personal matters, his alteration with
MeNutt, his vindieation Of his own conduct in
his administration, SC; but as we contemplate
making some use ofthis document, we have con-
eluded 10 publish the whole oft. Il is rather
Notifying to have our columns filed with such
stuff, but, having determined to publish it, we re-
Solved,as patient gulps down dose ofsalts and
tarter to have it over as soon as possible by Civ,
ing the whole at once.
Itwillbeseon thatthere arc no Recommendation
requiring mediate attention or jusfying this sx.
traordinury call ofthe legislature. THERE'S moth
ing in the message thatmigh tnot have bsen we'll
postponed for the ordinary Legislation ofthe state,
The Governors official course has been made
known through the public journals to every eiti-
zen, who feels an interest in it, and his private
quarrels with individuals are matters, which he
has no right to obtrude 10 his message upon the
public. Surely Governor Tucker is a very ehon
esi" man, perfect proverb for his integrity, but
We can not conceive by what code Of morals he
can justify subIecting the citizens Of Mississippi
to 50 heavy an expense, as this called session Of
the Legislature viii impose upon them, for the
purpose Of converting the politicians Of his party
at The scat Of government that he might have
his political claims reeonsidered by this "Legis,
lature Convention, and also be enabled to lay
before the voters Of the State at their expense q
vndieaiion Of his disgraceiu administration
With all his presumption he can not imagine
that the public attach sufficient importance Il
his political character as 10 induce them to b,
willing toincur an expense Of not less than forty
thousand dollars that he might have an oppor.
tunity Of representing his curse in an oficia
message, in such light as he may be anxious
to have it considered As se personally boal
Governor Tucker very friendly feelings, W,
hope he is now satisfied; he has laid his defene,
before tho public, without its having cost him
cent, and he has at length obtained such a nom
inution for Congress, as viii justify him in can
wasting the State
The only object, for which we thought Their
was any necessity for eonvening the legislatur
and the one, in which the public generally iel
the most interest, he has passed over without al
alusion to il; we refer Of course 10 tho district
ing ofthe State.
We shall say nothing at present ofthe Positio
which he assumes, in regard to tho liability Q
the general government for the money whie
was paid to that promising child Of the RePudi'
tors, their pet Treasurer Graves. We intend
take that subject pat some other time, and al
ter wo shall have laid before our readers the ev
idenco that exists in regard to that matter, ifun

shall give him upas an uncnnseionable rcpud
