The Governors Message.

We have read with care. and, we confess,
with qualification, the Governors message,
which appears in the present number Of our pa
per- As State document, it is plain, straight
forward and temperate but generally, we think ,
discriminating, judlcious, and able. But we
took up our pen more particularly to note the
Governors stand on the ls3ues, direct or coIlat
era which grow out Of the slavery question:
Upon these, after all that has been SAID and
done by the controlling portion Of his party, the
past year, he has assumed IL position which was
hardly expected, we presume, by either his po-
liticul friends or opponents.
On the Fugitive Slave law, which he fears
not to condemn as unwurranted and unconslitu-
tionaI, and the perfect right of all to discuss
and Gelounce it-.on the Habeus Corpus act,
which he sustans as well warranted and per.
fectIy constitutional, and on the late attempt to
revive the old, monarchlcaI, and monstrous doc.
trnes of constructive treason, the ever favorite
resort of tyrans--he admins ers rebuke to
Hunkerism, which, whether she be dressed IN
the polluted ermne of the bench, or the moltled
garb OF the trucking politician, ought to make
her hang her recreant head in confusion.
Considering the circumstances and position
in which Governor Williams has been placed,
he is, we think, for The moral courage and firm
ness he has displayed on these points, richly en-
titled to The praise OF all true friends of freedom
and right, and for one we mos. cheenuIy &C
cord it.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE
Fellow Citizens OF the Senate,
and House of Renresen' ot;y

Fellow Citizens OF the Senate,
and House of Represen' atiyes 4;
The PERIOD has now arrived. when the
representatives of the people are required to
meet IN General Assembly, to perform tile
duties necessary to promote the general wei.
lare OF those whom they represent. Having
all the powers necessary for The legislature
OF free aud sovereign State, limited only
by such restrictions as are imposed BY the
fundamental laws of the General and State
vernments, there is no reason to doubt
but what they will exercise that power to
promote the design for which they are Sc
Iected, the happiness aud prosperity of the
people, whose agents they are. am happy
to m ct you at this time, and to Cooperate
with you III all proper and legitimate etforsl
to obtain this very desirable end.
On again entering upon the duties apper-
tanning to the executive department, should
he wanting III that senslbIttv aud gratitude
which | deeply feel, if | did not return NV
sincere thanks to the people, who have a.
gam honorcd me with their confidence and
assure them that | am sensible an increased
obligation is lid upon me to be vigiIant in
discerning their interests, to be active IN en-
deavorS TO further that interest, aud IN hum
bic reliance on Divine aid to exert all the
faculties and abilities | possess to serve
them faithfully.
The assembling of the representatives e.
lected by the people, in their legislative and
executive capacities, to consult for the COM
mon good, and to adopt such measures as
tn good may require, is one of those inter-
e ting events, which are often witnessed in
republican government, and in no other.
The honesty of purpose and integrity of
heart which are, and have been, manifested
IN the deliberations and acts of the General
Assembly Of this State, afford sure guaran-
ty, That they Will not be easily mised, nor
very often mistake their duties or obligations.
If 1t is true, as thIHk it is without any
doubt, that all political power emanates
from the people, and their agents are re-
Sponsibl to them for the manner IN which
they discharge their trust, we can be at no
loss to discern, that the real conservative
principle OF our government is in the right
OF suffrage, the frequency of elections. and
the responsibility of the persons elected or
appointed to discharge any public trust.
1t is common and frequent to he dis.
parag'ng remarks of Legislative proceedings;
the proprlely Of their measures lightly spSk.
en- OF, aud their integrity doubled. Such
remarks, however, do not always carry with
them evidence of their correctness, or of The
superior intelligence of those who make
'0em' but more generally proceed from van.

simplicity, and utility, we have never seen
equaled. 1t cannot fail to arrest the attention
and please the taste OF the sportsman. Before
we saw this we were not aware that such beau
tful and perfect double barrel sporting guns
were made in this country.
The many and favorable reports that have
been made respecting this important invention,
and the unanimous verdict given in its favor by
all military and sporting gentlemen who have
tried it, leave but little doubt of Its general
adoption in this country and abroad

CALIFoRNIA.--Late accounts from California
make it appear that the late elections have gone
after all, in favor OF the Democrats. Gen. james
Wilson, we see, is up for Congress, and will
probably succeed, as no man on earth is better
calculated to win his way in such promiscoous
population as that OF California And as 10 po-
litcal principles, he could always adapt his to
circumstances with mighty little trouble. Long
Jim was class-mate Of ours, and we know
something Of the man. His character can he
drawn in few lines AN Irishman in hot i'm.
pulses and brillancy, a Yankee in calculation,
a Frenchman in fattery, and a Bonaparte in
ambition.
