MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF Mis-.
sIssIPrI-Ihe Slavery Question-The
Round Island Afar.-The annual mes
sage of Gov. Matthews, of Mississippi,
was delivered TO the Legislature of he
State on the 7th inst. After a compre-
hensve review Of the local affairs Of the
State, he speaks IN strong and emphat-
ic terms upon the subject ofthe Wilmot
provlso.
lie denies the right of Congress to
Iegislate upon the subject ofthe Federal
Government is not a sovereignty, but
the mere agent Of many sovereignties.
He condemns the conduct of General
Riley, in procIaiming Mexican law,
thereby excluding every religion but
that of Catholic, as altogether al vari-
anCe with the laws of this country and
unparalleled. As the Congress of the
| United States mGde no provision for the
government of the territory, the Presi.
| dent possessed no power 10 appoint a
Governor. The election Of delegatesto
the Convention and the proclaiminr a
Constitution, excluding the South from
taking their property TO that territory,
he says, is illegal and all done without
the apprabation of Congress. He op.
poses all further compromises, as iniu-
rious TO the interests Of the South, as
the compacts heretofore entered into
have been violated by the North, and
recommends a firm resistance 10 the
last extremity. The spirit Of fanati-
cism and aggression will never be
stayed by compromises, but will con-
liuue its work of destruction until the
aud will be drenched in blood, and the
glorious temple of human liberty. rear
ed by our fathers, and consecraled by
their blood, shall tumble into ruins. In
the event of the adoption of the vii.
mot proviso, the admission of Cali
fornia into the Union by virtue of her
pretended Constitution, the abolition of
slavery in the District ofColumbis, or
the prohibition of the commerce Of
slaves between the States, he recon.

Should Congress- when California

Should Congress, when California
shall present herself for incorporation
into the Union, annex q condition 10 her
admission as State affecting her do,
mestc institutions contrary to the wish
es of her people. and even compel her
temporarily to comply with it, yet the
State could change her constitution al
any time after admission, when to her il
should seem expedient. Any attempt
to deny TO the people of the State the
right of selfgovernment in d matter
which peculiarly affects themselves will
infallibly be regarded by them as an in.
vasion of their rights; and, upon the
principles laid down in our own declar-
alton Of independence, they will Ger.
talnIy be sustained by the great mass Of
the American people. To assert that
they are conquered people, and must
as State submit to the will of their
conquerors, in this regard, will meet
with no cordial response among Amer

thority. 1t is to be expected tha, in the
residue of the territory ceded 10 US by
Mexico, the people residing there will
at the time of their incorporation into
the Union as State, settle all questions
of domestic policy to suit themselves.
No material inconvenience will re-
sui, firm the want, for short period
of government established by Con
gress over that part Of the territory
which lies eastward Of the new State
of California; and the reason for my
opinion that new Mexico will at nc

into the Union, are founded on unoffi

inquiries on that subject.
Seeing, then, that the question whic
