s;dent has long been WILLARD FILLMORE; my
second choice, JOHN DAVIS. am not at all te-
nacious of personal preferences. and shall very
cordially support any candidate forthe high Office
in question who shall appear to be the unswayed
choice of the Wing party; but my judgement
and my feelings are alike opposed to any CONNER
cial arrangement whatever. None IS needed 70
unite the Wing party-lt is united now, ana
needs not to buy any support which is not given
freely, heartily and without stipulation or pur-
chase At least, so believes HG'
Tennessee-Gov. Jones's Message.
The Annual Message of Gov. Jones was de-
livered to the Legislature on the Sd INST. 1t
urges Revision of the Laws of the State, an
investigation of the condition and management
Of the Bank of Tennessee and Branches, Gas was
proposed by the last House, but defeated by the
Loco-Foco Senate0 and he suggests like lnVes-
tigation with regard to the three other Banks IN
the State. He zealously urges an increase OF the
School Fund and an enlargement OF all the means
of Education. He also presses the importance OF
farther provision for the payment OF the Interest
at least on the State Debt. That Debt now
amounts to S3,260,4l6; Of which $l,5O0,000 is
the amount of stock subscribed to the Tennessee
and Union Banks, and the balance has been ex-
pended in works Of Internal Improvement, which
as vet Weld little income. The annual interest is
$173,678, which has hitherto been paid by the
Bank of Tennessee, but the Governor states that
she has not the ability to continue such payment.
He urges that due provision be promptly made, SO
that no stain of Reputation may rest ON the
mantle of Tennessee.
Gov. Jones declines to make his Message the
medium of setting forth his views on National
Politics, but he urges the election of two United
States Senator's as an imperative duty too long
and deplorably delayed. He says
"The necessity and importance of performing tins duty
are 100 obvious require any argument 1t Is duty Pe
BILE disregard Of Of the solemn requirements oil The
CONSTITUTIONS and utter contempt Tor the interest dignity
and honor of the State 1t will be remembered that

The Governor urges the speedy permanent 10
cation Of the seat of Government, and in con-
Guiding thanks the People for their generous sup
port. His Message was well received, as it de-
served to be, and 5000 copies ordered to be
printed.
The Legislature proceeded to fix the permanent
seat of Government, but without success. The
Senate settled on Kingston, Roane Co. the House
on Murfreesboro', Rutherford Co. The result
will probably be, as heretofore, that Nashville will
