Governor. 1t is very lengthy.
The GoyEHNon's MESSAGE -Goyornor Mcdill's
Message has been received, but VIC see nothing in
it Of special importance, and must therefore refer
our readers who wish to learn its contents, to other
journals. The Governor makes no mention what
ever Of the great question now in controversy In
the land. If he has ever heard Of tie Slavery
question he does not tell Of it. It is well that Il
Governor Of Ohio who has no interest in the great
question Of freedom should retire to p,ivatc life.
lie is a union saviour end rotircs with the '%patrio.
tic utteranee, the Uhion-it must be preserved. -

House Of Representatives IN the intervals Of bal
loting. Mr.. Brooks Of South Carolina made Il
vigorous specch against the Union and it is said
also advacoting violence in the House. As yet

Is THE SENATE on the Sd inst, Mr.. Hale re.
marked that he was not in his seat when the Pres.
dents Message came in, else Ac should have oh
iccted to its reception, as it was irrcgularly sent
here. lie would not ;rcteud to state the reasons
why the President took such an extraordinary and
un unprecedented course, but Yankees were allowed
to guess, and he would ly no means presume to
say that tic President has taken this Cnporturity
to go down on his knees to the South, because soy.

about Central American affairs, but he (Mr. IIllc)
thought there was 4 place in the central part Of the

Mr.. Hale stated, On the authority Of Mr.. CAL
houn, that the Monroe doctrine, so much talked Of,
WIS originally suggested by the British Cabinet.
It was not the first time the President had deliver,
ed a lecture on slavery but it was insulting to the
majority Of this nation, for the President to say
in effect that all who disagree with him are enc
mics to the Constitution. Vie stcrniy rcbukcd
such an impntation. God, to punish our national
Sina, and for the humiliation Of our national pride,
permitted franklin Pierce to occupy the Presiden-
tial chair. and he comes down into the arena Of
Gemagogues, stripped Of everything which should
clothe him with Executive dignity. CLaughtcr)
Mr.. Wilson offered II resolution, which lies over,
calling on the President for information relative to
the troubles in Kansas.
The Senate then adjourned till Monday.
Observation-Disclosures Nlorchoad of Kentucky,
says. That notwithstanding, Kentucky, MS Il border
State, has more c0usc to complain Of fanatical ag-
itation than any other member Of the conCcleracv.
yet she has ever been in favor of tho Union and
deeply dcplorcs "that wild and reckless spirit
which has hurried the descendants of the heroes
of Bunker Hill and Lexington to q desecration Of
the Federal Constitution, by an attempted nullifca-
ton of (" supreme law of the and, made in pursu-
ancO of its provisions. She has seen with dismay
and CONSERVATION this spirit Of discord enter into
the sanctuary of our national liberties. She still
looks to the Union rs the best, if not the. only SC.
curity for her peace and happiness, and d'faithiul
and honest support of the Constitution as the only
guaranty Of liberty"
Tho Governor thinks the dark and rampant spir-
it OF Abolitionism and Frcc,Soilism, regardless
alike of the admonitions of patriotism and the die
tatcs of justice, is threatening in its mad career to
destroy the very foundation of the Union.
OF the powers of the Federal Government for
the support Of Slavery. the Governor discourses as
follows:
"The Federal Government, in its original organ
ization, coniormcd itself more wisely to tho then
condition Of the people and the property it was in
tended Ia protect. Slavery then existed in most
of the States. The Constitution did not pretend
to make any change whatever in the relation of
master and slave. Tho pronerly in slaves, such as
it was, preoxistod, and the Constitution recognized
it without limitation, and extended to the owner
its unqualified protection. 1t created no property,
but recognized whatever was property in the States
as such, and left it in the condition in which it
was found. When it speaks of property, whGtev-
err was made so by any OF the States was what was
intended. 1t did not undertake to define what was
or was not property.
The Federal Government being one of limited
powers, cannot impatt to or take from anything
