A PERPETUAL GovENoR.-It seems that
owing to the blundering of the last Legislature
of Mississippi, that State has a perpetual Cove
nor. ). The Natchez Free Trader, of Tuesday last,
says:
"In bis late message to the Legislature on this
subject, which we publish this morning, Governor
McRae says that he is Governor for life. We
should have no objection to his being Governor of
Mississippi for manyyears to cone but the organ
ic law of the State provides that the Governor
shall be elected every two years. But it seems
that thelbotch work CT the Legislature of 1854,
iu submitting changes to the Constitution,
having managed to make the term of govern
orship perpetual, and no one can tell when
the official term of the Judges and members of the
Legislature will expire.
