GOV. CRITTENDEN.

Governor. We make the following ex
tracts from the address,
Very soon after my election, our
late President, the good and illustrous
General Taylor, offered me a place
the frs. place-in his Cabinet. l de.
clined ii, and among the reasons tha,
influenced me, not the least was, the ap.
prehens:on that so sudden an abandon.
ment Of the office to which you had
jus, elected me, might be regaI ded as
want of duty to the State, and Of
proper respect for the great honor you
had conferred upon me. But now, thai,
| have served nearly two years, and
that my term of office, shor, ened by
the new constitution, is approaching
its termination, l think tina, / may,
wihou, reproach or censure, be per.
mi,ied to resign, and that considering
all the circumstances you will approve
my course.
In the new station TO which l am
abou, to GO, ] hope tina, may, in some
humble degree, be serviceable to you
and our common country. Of one
thing you may be assured, tina. in
whatever small degree 4 may be able
TO effect anything, my best exertions
will always be directed to the quie,ing
of the unhappy discussions that now
prevail, and all things to the preserva-
ton Of The Union.
OF my administration as Governor,
you will Judge, and | have only this to
say, tina, have endeavored to do the
best; and that have served you faith,
full, if not wisely.
My resignation can occasion no
damage to the Commonwealth. The
high character and eminent qualifica.
lions of the gentleman (Lt. Gov. Heinz
who succeeds me, give TO the Com.
monweallh the greatest assurance of
an able, wise and faithful administra.
ton gifts government.
In terminating my present official
relations with you, permit me TO crafty
my heart by saying, that whatever of
affection, loyalty or gratitude, any hu-
man being can feel or owe to you, and
to Kentucky, that do owe. That debt
is my great treasure.

ToBkcCo CnoPs.--The Tobacco crop
of Virginia and Kentucky, we learn
from the papers, is very unpromising,
indeed. The drouth and the cut. worm
have almost killed il out. There is
great complain, among our f,rmers, at
the ravages ofthe worms, and the crop
has already sustained serious injury.
