-" Hold. hold, Mabone
Nv ,,ou tuik oil aud talk none ."

We have been taught how to sympathise with
him. Our new Governor, who, we were assured
by his friends, was to reform the abominable nui-
sance Of intcrminable Executive Messages, has
come down upon with one SO long (to say moth
ing of its Aa,ness) as greatly to resemble the Erie
Canaf II is so long that could not print yes
terday morning, when it was at our service, with
out making paper quite toe late; and even now,
when wc do publish it, in our finest type and as
compactly as possible, are allowed no room to
speak of it. The Governor talks all and al
lows US room to talk none, at present.
When Gov. Yates was in power, a Dutch ad-
mrer critically and phrenologically observed that
Gov. Iates's head was not so long as Gov. Clin-
toms, but then it was twice as thick A compar-
ison similar in spirit though differing in terms is
forced upon US by this document. It. has all the
length which marred Gov Stewards Messages
while devoid of the ability which rendered that
difuseness endurable.
We will not here review the Governor's tinan
cial expose. Il Will be seen that he is able, in
season of extraordinary depression of business and
decrease of all Canal Revenues, to show deGci,
of less than 5000 600 in the total Income of the
State for the last year, bit none in the Camel Re
7en@es, even by his own showing, there being
balance of near 81 0 900 in their favor. Blu, there
is small balance asains. the General Fund,
caused, we believe, by outlays for permanent ad-
ditions TO the State Property Whether the Peo-
pie will consider this unforeseen result of an ex-
traordinnry depression sufficient excuse for i'm
posing on them tax OF $65O,0O0 per ansun for
five years, and at the same time stopping the Pub
lie Works, remains yet 10 be seen as the Governor
will find in due season.
Gov. Bouck is evidently in favor either of per-
sisting in the stoppase of the Public Works or of
changing ground ut an early day and going on with
them-one or BOTH Our readers may perhaps be
more successful in determining which of them
than we have been. We commend them to care
ful study of this portion of the Message.
The information that Governor has q, last been
selected q from the Agricultural portion of the
community" will of course tickle the farmers
amazingly. We apprehend, however, that if His
Excelency has earned the forty to fifty thousand
dollars he has drawn from the State Treasury for
his official services through the last twenty years
(and We have supposed such to be the fsctl his
mastery of the science of raising Southdowns and
ruta bagas must be about on par with his states
manship.
The Governors constitutional argument, against
the right of Congress to prescribe uniform, mode
of electins Members of The House, when the Con.
stitu,ion expressly dsclares that :. Congress may
at any time a:ake or alter" the regulations re-
spec,ng the tune, place, and manner " Of making
such elections may be very forcible, but it does
seem shst his ambition has led him to attempt too
hard task Ii takes great lawyer to argue
the seal Of the bond in so plain this. He
is very careful to conceal the object and effect of
the provision he condemns.
His opposition to tie Bankrup. Law and to all
legislation for the relief of unfortunate debtors,
appears to Us very far behind the spirit of the age
But this is a matter Of opiuien on which we are
aware that many disagree with Us.
His slavery argument we like. The Abelitior-
lists have virtually done what they could TO eecure
his election, and now he returns the compliment
by urging repeal of all the State Laws unfayora-
Bile 10 slavery and the adoption of an opposite
policy throughout. He does not yer propose any
such penal enactmeu,s against Abolitionisss ss
