GoyERNoR,s ADDRESS.

Gentlemen Of The Senate and Of the House o.
Representatives
We have been called, by the suffrages of
our fellow citizens, from our various occupa-
tons and pursuits, and entrusted with the re.
sponsibilities and duties attaching to the ex-
ecutive and legislative branches Of our State
government for the present year. In the lam
guage OF the Constitution, acknowledging
with grateful hearts the goodness of the great
Legislator of the Universe, in affordng us, in
the course of His providence, an opportuni-
ty, deliberately and peaceably," to meet to-
sether for duly considering the common wants
OF our common constituency, and, "devout-
ly imploring His direction in so interesting
design" may we devote our best efforts, with
out personal considerations, party bias, or To-
cal prejudices, to promote the best interests Of
the people of Massachusetts.
The semi-decennial census, taken during
the past summer, in pursuance of the resolve
OF 1850, presents an authentic and most graf
flying record Of the rapid increase of our
State IN population, and in the magnitude Of
her various agricultural, mechanical, and
commercial resources. Never before has she
been permitted by gracious Providence to
advance so rapidly, in every thing which con-
duces to the prosperity and happiness of
community.
The statistics of her industrial pursuits are
not yet so classified and arranged, as to per-
nit me to state with accuracy their aggregate
results; but | am enabled to announce that
the population of Massachusetts, by that CEN
sus, is one million, one hundred and sixty
three thousand, and thirty. three, showing an
increase of nearly one hundred and thirty
thousand persons during the past five years.
The following is table of the total popula-
ton, as exhibited by each census since 1900,
the amount of the increase in each decade,
and the average gain per cent, FER annum.

OPTICAL CONTEMPT OF THE PERSONAL LIB.
ERry LAw.-Though Gov. Gardner resisted
the enactment of the personal liberty act of
the last Legislature, when it was finally enact
ed over his head, he is understood to have
freely declared that he should cheerfully per-
form his duty, and thoroughly execute its
provisions, both to the letter and IN the spirit.
Section IA of that act is as follows -
"Any person holding any judicial Office IN.
der the constitution or laws of this Common
wealth, who shall continue for ten days after
the passage of this act to hold the offica Of
United States commissioner. or any Office I'M
der the laws of the United States which quail
fes him to issue any warrant or other process,
or grant any certificate under the acts of con.
gress named in the ninth section of this act,
shall be deemed to have violated good beha-
vior, to have given reason for loss of public
confidence, and furnished sufficient ground,
either for impeachment or for removal by adj
dress"
The purpose of this section is plainly to
make it incompatible for any man to hold the
Office of U. S. commissioner and any judicial
office. even the smallest, under the state laws.
The remedy in cases where person already
ment or address, is not very simple, perhaps
not legal,-no matter for that this certainly
would seem to be clear-that no man holding
the office of U. s. commissioner, and persist
ing in holding it, should be appointed to any
judicial Office in this commonwealth. Yet
Gov. Gardner has just done this very thing.
by appointing Reuben A. Chapman, Esq. Of
this city, o. s. commissioner, to the office
of Justice of the Peace. Now Mr.. Chapman
isquite the proper person to be justice of the
peace, but it is very clear that Gov. Gardner,
in appointing him, has ovorrode the personal
liberty law, in effect spit upon and condemned
it. The question thus raised is not ofthe
propriety or even of the conititutionality of
the personal liberty act,-that is not for the
Governor to decide but it is a question of
the violation by Gov. Gardner alike of his
duty as the executive magistrate of the COM
monwealth, to respec! and enforce all laws,
and Of his personal pledges made at Dorches-
ter last spring in regard to t is special law, it.

CAsrE--by Sidney A. Story. Boston Phillips
Sampson, 4 Co.
Whe have already commended this excellent
anti-Siayery romance, which is advertised in our
columns to-day, to the favorable notice of our
readers, and take this opportunity to refer to it
again, because we find our own opinions as to the
appropriateness of its title confirmed by others.
The Boston atlas, in highly commendatory no.
ticc of the book, says -
1t is possible that the title may have repealed
some readers. 1t may have been thought TO indi-
cate the discussion Of some abstract question -
Yet we never read a novel written with purpose
in which that purpose was more thor juehiy WOW
en- n'o the narrative. The book is sine1larly free
from didactic writing or what old fashioned
preachers used to call improvement
The atlas further says
From internal evidence. we have the strongest
roason for believing that "Ida May" and caste"
were written by the same person. Though the
latter, as the Courier and Inquirer said, 2 bears
amasculine name upon the title, yet the peticoat
rustles through every page" The style is very
similar, though the latter is perhaps, more high
y finished. There Is the same minute fidelity of
local coioring which cannot fail to impress the
Southern resident or traveller. The gimpses Of
plantation life in each could only have been writ.
ten BY one who had familiarity known Southern
family. Each individual "darkey, is a study, his
derfully distinct.
IN these respects. the two books agree marvel.
lousy. Then the characters bear a strong re-
semblance. Col. Bell and his wife Clara. in
Caste are the Col. Ross and the proud beauty,
Mabel Wynn, Of sIda May !; Mrs. Avenal in the
South. and hor son Edgar in the North, are the
Mrs. Wynn and Walter Varan Of the first book.
Who author Of Ida May may be, we cannot
say, outwe are certain that the same person wrote
Caste.
The Calais Adv@sisey learns from the best au-
thority,' that Mrs. Pike, Of that town, did not
write Caste, but is 1t certain that she wrote Jda
May2 There have been many guesses, but the
question was never definitely settled. At any
rate. we take the liberty OF saying, that the an-
thor Of "Caste" made the greatest possible mis-
take IN not putting distinctly upon the title page
OF her book--tBy the author of Ida NAV" mis-
would have secured half hundred thousand rad
ers At once, People are little shy Of novelties,
and keep up their preference for old favorites -
But we believe we shall do the reading public 4
real service BY connecting these two books. and
BY recommending those who have admired the
first, 70 take look 81 the last, which we are eon
hdent is By the same author.

MIS-. GEN. GAINES AND HEB FIRST Hus-
SAxD.--Mrs. Myra Whitney Gaines is sister
in-law to Prof. Charles Whitney, who lately
lectured with great appreciation before one of
our city associations. Mrs. Gaines's first hus-
band was William Wallace Whitney, native
of Biagharnpton. N. Y, who died of the vel
low fever in New Orleans while prosecuting
his wife's contested claims. We understand
that Mrs. g. is greatly indebted TO the Whit
nsy fan lily for means to enable her to prose-
cute this suit for so many years. We con-
gratulate Prof. Whitney, whose family are
now sojourning at the Water Cure Of DR..
Rogers, in this city, that he win now be re-
paid with interest for his fraternal love and
fidelity to his deceased brothers family. May
Tiaue thus ever have its own reward.
