stop to interminahle law and give ev-
cry man fair chance, that he pocketed the
attront, and prevented the bill from becoming
law He defends himself like lawyer, and
gives cogent reasons for his course; but the
main thing,-the family reason, the fact that
certain man by the name of Gardner, owns
on that shore, and claims to cut across and
swallow up other shore owners, with the pros
pect of large future speculation-is not men
toned; probably the Governor forgot this.
Cesar cared not for himself, but only for
Rome. The Governor hopes some day to be
nominated fog Vice President of the United
States, and he tries to get Up little national
reputation, and writes addresses for Bunkum,
and swears to his bravery and loyalty like
very Falstaf. But the man that once claimed
to hare inaugurated the Republican increment,
when he thought it would pay, and scho tob-
bied for the Republicans nomination, with indie
fatgable zeal, although he may "swear the
legs from an iron pot, cannot convince us of
Lis trust worthiness, or make us believe he is
ANYTHING else than political quack.
We think His Excellency would make
good schoolmaster. He lectures the .egisla-
ture. and tells them what to do, az if they
were parcel of school boys, that not only
need instruction, but tutoring, too. We hope
TIE Legislature will profit by the Governors
remarks. and in especial beware of the lobby
influence that comes from the little room ad-
joining the Council chamber.
