Before proceeding give synopsis Of the statements

cannot refrain from expressing our admiration Of the
excellent style in which il is written. Seldom has

commendable as mere literary performance, or ex
pressed in language more appropriate and dgni6ed
Especially in the introductory and concluding portions
there is an amplitude of thought and felicity Of dictor
unusual in such communications and highly creditablt
to our present chief magistrate We frankly confess
that il has considerably elevated the favorable estimate
with which had been hitherto disposed to regard

Having placed before the Legislature every subject
nected with the domestic policy Of the State and the i'm
mediate interests OF the people, the governor concludes
by calling serious attention to the question of slavery

subject he discusses in most earnest and eloquent man
ner denouncng the anatcal aggressions upon the rgh
Of our people in tones OF imprisoned but dgnlhed con
demnation His argument upon the constitutonaity o.
these aggressons is Of the most powerful and con
else which has yet been given 10 the country But hs
does not consider the OF danger 10 the South
reside in the action OF Congress on the Wmot roviso
and similar measures but in se establishment OF civi
adopting the Mexican laws, and in the action OF con
forming State constitution prohibiting slavery.
This view Of the governor is very imposing, and ab
argued, and calls for longer snd ruore
instion than give il al present We regard IN
opinions and sentiments most sound. patriotic AM
