But the Governor has something TO cay about tdf

1851 has seriously affected thc Of our Cauas
The Governor here clearly enough announces 70 tae
legislature, that, by the law 10 which nc refers, the
Tresury has been despoiled OF hvc halE~l THOUSAND
dollars But he does not ssy how iis sum u TO be re-
placed had occesion In one or two instances to al.

It'll IL he bad said Il recommend the repeal OF
that law the restoration Of those tolls But there Is no
such reconmen 1aiion No Sir, thai subject in-
vclving toe rnony risks to b. empha,icaly spoken OF
But Sir in reading this portion OF the message, my
mind reverted 10 the past; remembered TINT the orr
rstor Of tst legislation tbe immediate representa-
tive Of his Excoloncy. To Charles Mann, more than
to any other legislator belongs the responsibility OF that
law Ills reports in favor Of Il profoundly elaborate
and they did moro thsn anything else combined TO bring
sbout the result mildly drprrcGsd by the Governor,
hut about which he scnrciul % recommend nothing.
