roads in cities and towns he ia as non-commit-
tai as Martin Van Buren,. On rivers and har-
bors and high protective tariff he Is wing
of the year 1885, and firm believer of special
bounties to manufacturing monopolies, at the
expense OF the whole community.
The Governor is true to the Saratoga plat.
form, and the resolutions of the conglomerated
Syracuse and Auburn conventions touching
the Nebraska bill. He recommends, according
ly, to the Legislature, the most decided action
for the restoration Of the antlslavery inter-
dict of the Missouri compromise, to the end of
arresting the extension of slavery and the in
crease of the representation of the South in
the two houses of Congress. This is the
cream ofthe mesaDe-the platform of the holy
anti-slavery alliance of last fall, and the pro-
gramme of Seward for his sectional contest
for the Presidency. 1t invokes a renewed and
violent agitation of the slavery question upon
false pretences; for while our anti-slavery
Governor pleads in this connection for the har-
mony of the Union, he is urging upon his
abolition partizans the most direct course for
violent and sanguinary dissolution of the
Union.
Upon the whole, This first message Of our new
Governor is an instructive document. 1t shows
that the Maine liquor law is to be sacrificed
for the reelection of Seward-that desperate
effort is to be made to overshadow the Know
Nothing excitement in fierce revival of the
anti-slavery agitation, and that the Seward
platform for 1856 is the Improvement of rivers
and harbors on a grand scale by the federal
government, a high tariff Of special bounties
for the enrichment of manufacturing corpora
tions, and war without quarter against the
South, the determination Of slavery, and the
disruption of the Union. Perhaps, in the ac-
ton of the Legislature, the Know Nothings
may reverse this revolutionary platform in a
counter revolution, displacing Seward, de-
molishing his principles, and maintaining the
constitution, the obligations Of the North, the
rights of the South, and the integrity of the
republic. We await the action Of the Legis-
lature,

TIE CAMPAIGN IN TIE CRIMEA.-The fol-
lowing is from the last letter by NJ. Kossuth {:
THAT the campaign is perfectly over for
this year in the Crmca, thus much you know.
To this knowledge will add the statement,
that the allied powers never had, nor have
the intention to deprive the Russians CT, or
drive them out of the Crimca. Since the fall
of Scvastopol they have done absolutely moth
ing thcrc-mere parade movements to keep
the troops warm. The public, however, en-
pectcd, day by day to hear that Gortschakoil
is cut off, and has surrendered with his whole
army, or at least that, to save the army he
evacuated the Crimea, while, instead Of
seeing this expectation realized, the public
has been surprised by the intelligence that
the Car selected just that time to make a
promenade down to Simphcrpool, in perfect
safety and comfort, and by rather orhinous
coincidence, just when he was starting from
Niculaclf for the Crimca, the English and
French Governments sent an order by tcc-
graph TO the allied Generals to stop any
movement III advance. and keep OH the de-
trnsive behind their old lines. 1t would have
been anything but polite to inconvenience the
Carl his journey of course. The halt
order has soon been converted into an order
to go into Winter quarters-whlet the French
army has already reduced by more than 90
600 mcn-thc decentralization of which force
is only the beginning of further rcdnc tons.
The Gar, on the contrary, feels so sure of
the Crimca that he actually engaged in the
construction of a railroad from Perekop to
Simphcrpol. And well he may feel sure
the rlmor is spreading in wcll-informcd quar-
tiers, that the allies do not intend to resume
the campaign in the Crimea but will rather
evacuate it, retaining only hold Of Kamiesh,
Balaklava and Eupatoria until peace is patch
ed up. This rumor is practically confirmed
by the reduction of the French forces, and
by the energy with which the allies apply
themselves to the destruction of the Docks
and works Of the south of Sevastopol They
are absolutely bent on having no serious
issue in this war;"
