dred sub, .,.cts; and, jointly with other States,
or separately, TO adopt such measures as
may best comport with the dignity and safe
ly of the State, and effectually correct the
evils complained of. AS to what these mea-
sures should be, the Governor suggests that,
as the last effort at Cancellation, the pro
position be distinctly made to the people Of
the non-saveholding States to remedy the
wrong, so far as it may be in the power OF
Congress to do SO, by obtaining from California
concessions south of $50 SO OF otherwise; and
Constitution as shall hereafter amply secure
the rights of the Slaveholding States from mis-
construction and further aggression. In the
event of such concessions not being obtained,
he hesitates not to recommend ''peaceable Sc
cession."
The Governor expresses his confidence in
the wisdom of the people, and his full assur-
ance that they will steadily and firmly defend
their rights, We also have confidence in the
wisdom of the people of Mississippi, and too
much faith in their patriotism to believe that
they will pursue the unwise and reasonable
course which this message recommends
course leading directly TO disunion and civil
war; for it is not for moment to be supposed
that the unreasonable and impracticable demands
which Coy. QuITM AN nrnpnsns nlt'r'>- ''---,
can ever be complied with. The Governors
recommendation is equivalent therefore, to di-
rect recommendation of secession. That there
are many persons in the State who are ready to
follow him, even to this length, we have no
doubt; but we believe that the majority of the
people are ready to abide by the adjustment, and
are attached to the Constitution as it is SO

have no fear of the result
