struciions beyond our ingenuity. As ccmpo sition, the least we can say oft, is that we shall take no pride in il asa specimen of the Executive literature of Alalnnm.
 $ parate from it's eccenircities of style and con struciion, the message Is mol without good points, The sentiments and professions are all very we'll It invokes harmony and promises diligence and de- votion in promoting the public interest Its political. doctrines cannot be said 10 he unsound, but the ex- nression leaves a wide latitude of interpretations Jovernor claims to be devoted 10 The principles of democracy as "esiablisied by hlr. Jefferson and carried out by Gsn. Jackson" But many yari- etIes of politicians cover themselves under the nameof Mr. JelTer,on; and we cannot forget that recently Mr. Turniy of Tennessee, who became Senator in Cohst%s ptetty much as Mir Mar tin became Cover Ior af Alabama-by an aiIi- ance sr few democrats with the whig party s..,le ,no diO"Ipu policy nf' Mr. Clay to be 'Jackson' measure We mus, be excused, after the combinations of last summer. Tor waiting to judge the professions of the Governor by his acts.
 Ln,Ie that is specific is expected from inaugural addresses in generai but this is renlarkabl, for one omission which, under the circumstances, is signf- cant, and to many will be surprising. The lmRle. diate collection of the Bank debts, according 10 the prov sions of the law of ihe last Legislature, wlihom change relaxation, the issue that Judge Mar tins friends attempted make last summer, in their canvass 10 make him Governor. They camored against the regular candidate of the party aud ag anst hs friends as virtual repudiaturs of the Stale debt because they would not swear infexible adherence to the law, hut would only pledge themselves to it, if it should be found 10 work we'll, and 10 further lhe main policy of the most speedy and safe coIlec- tlon of the greatest available amount Of Bank asseits. This would not suit lhe supporters of Judge Martin, aud they accordingly camored down Col. Terry the enemy of the collection law. and put up Judge Martin us it's special friend We had right therefore to look for a strong strnd in his message for that law. But there ia no oh thing there. The law is not mentioned, even by way o cv recognition that Il Is in ex xstence. On the con trary, where the collection o the Bank debts is men toned, it Is disposed ol1wh the general recomnen daion of "the policy nhch shall promise 10 collect n. largest amount" and winch "ksrng Ike great otjee o collections steadily in psw shall bring them (the Banks) 10 hs earliest nal ustent and close of ich thsir complicated qfapS siteeptibie," Now these are precisely the views and very nearly the words of Col. Terry last summer, which were thea treated as itte better than subseryency to the Bank deboI influence, and indifference 10 the State ah because they le the co Election law out of the pledge!
 This affords another example of the ference, dis. covered by ''celebrated Roman Consul, ," between professions before an election and performance af, terwards. 'ff
 By the hy, too, we cannot refrain from remark ine npon the total silence of class of State politicians ill reference to Gov Fitzpatrick message. The Cover nsr recommends new extension in favor of those who failed to make the first payment under dhe present hwt Last sumnter there were hosts o clamorons electioneerers, who howed savage de- 1 noneation against eser4 buty whom thss supposed willing to modify the law, or give moments new
 indulgence to the Bunk debtors, as an enemy of the debt paying pocy 4 tGovernor Fiizpatrick's admii-
 stration. Where ate they now7 Positively dumb, not breath oi dissft, not word of alarm for the
 imminent disgrace d the State, comes from their mouths. All is quie and mute submission. We do not mean to make clmpaint ofIhe present position of Gov. Martin, or he recommendations of Gov Fitzpatrick. We ae rather disposed to consider them proper and prdient. But the complete aban- donment by it's authCs, of all lasl summer's canor, about the inviolabG of the collection law, is fact worth stating as cor pboralng the opinions that it was an eectioneeI na hunbug, invented for lhe sion, 10 be dismissedwlh contempt had accomplished it's ob,ct.
