The Governors allusion to the liquor question is
brief. He says:
However opinions may differ as to the expe-
dieucy OF prohibiting entirely the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors as a beverage, none can DOUBT that
it is bo:h the clear right and the absolute duty OF
the Legislature to regulate their sale as TO d.
mpsh as far as practicable the risk of their abuse
and that 30 remedy that the law will permit and
opinion will sustain to check it should be left IN
tried
The abuse of the elective franchise is comments
ed on, ard the subject commended TO the earnest
consideration of the Legislature. With regard to
the recent Presidential election, the message as
sumes that its result is deliberate. irreversibe
decree that, go fsr as the State OF New York Is
concerned there shall henceforth be no extension
OF slavery in the Territories of the United States.
The Governor aIudes 10 the imputations upon the
Repub Jean larry put forth in the PresiGent mes
sage when lie declares to be wholly grouudiess,
and pTGGeeds to give at large the views of that
party on the great question Of the day. In this
connection he aIiudes to the outrages in Kansas,
and recommends that sum of money be sppro
priatei for the relief Of her destitute citizens. The
message, on the whole is a very able document,
aad places the financial political and moral condi-
ton of the State in very striking and favorable
light.
The Governor concludes by attacking the Presi
dent for his message censuring the Republican
party, and suggests the propriety of the Legisla
ture making an appropriation for the suffering in
Kansas.
