Ora GOVERNOR by late adVices from Mad
,.oo. VIC are informed, tina, his EAceIleneJ
Gov. TALLMADGs, occupies not The os' enSi
able position in his relations with tho Legs
a,urc, after all the apparent disposition III hi'
message to plea'e. Our Informant says INC
whics consider him a dcserter from their rahR'
ma limo ,ha, The best interests OF tie parry
demanded from every member composing "
moi, most s,eadfast adherence 10 It's principles;
and too, under circumstances that coinpe'S
,Lcm 10 believe, ii WAS not love for The pm
ciples Of lheir political opponents that was the
Inducement TO his mciamorphosc Of action
On ,he other hand, the democrats accuse his
Excellency Of hypocrisy, aad say they WIZ
not, as a party, be ''solisoaped or honeyed
np." by any such pre,ensions OF love Tor their
p,inrinles as are contained in his message.
In short, If we have a correct idea OF the matter,
The Gov. has no party, and few supporters at
the Capitol.
We look npon the Governors course aud
present dilemma, something in this light
During The administration Of John Tyler, ior
some cause, (Which the people guessed a'') he,
then wing u. S. Senator from New York,
very suddenly became enamored OF The course
of The President. and came out as an advocate
Of the Captains Administration. The result
was, he was appointed Governor Of this Ter.
rl,ory, and arrived hero some timo last TALL.
In due time, came on the Annual Session oil
the Territorial Legislature, when, according 10
all prescedents, il was incumbent on him TO
address message TO the two Houses setting
forth the condition, wants. &c. Of The Terrific
ny, and pointing out wha, is necessary Tor to
be done by them in order 10 secure the happl.
ness and prosperity of the people. Now what
is he to dol OF course he could have but a
very limited knowledge Of the waois, Iesour.
ces OF condition OF the Territory, and IL would
never do TO assume knowledge he did mol
possess. Here is dilemma--he looks around
him--.he legislature is democratic. and II is
his only course 10 - conform TO the asceriained
will OF the people," and be democratic too
What else could he do under tho cifcums,an
ces Bu, il appears the democrats do mo-
appreciate the pure motive. and they are ou
against him, politically, and so of course, ar'
the wings. aI oHi
Now We don't believe in the propric,y Of i'm
porting officers to dictate 10 Us the course to b
pursued Ia our Legislation. as II Is well know
fac, that we have men OF all parties In ,hi
Territory, eminen,y qualified TO Gil, with HOT
or to themselves ard the Territory. any oliic'
called for by the Organic Law OF Congress
under which we act. We consider II no com
plimen, TO our eiixens from the President, Il
send usa Governor OF any Other Territorial OF
ficer from neighborng state, and we ,hin'
any man in so doing, plainly mauiies's dis
position to disregard the will, wishes and in
,eres,sof the people.
We have not the honor Of personal &C
quain,ance with Governor TALLMADos
but are informed that he is mild, amiable an'
talented man but, ,ha, his political course 70
the pas, two years will admi, Of severe com
men,, all accord.
