motives which actuate a man TO support

honor and justice are on its side, its be-
ing unpopular would Be sufficient to keep
him from usisg his powerful Influence in

illustration of tie injuries Inflicted upon
the State and people by such political
vampires which he states in the follow
ing passage
Special legislation, has hitherto done
much to inplre the State Acts have
sometimes found their way upon the
statute book, which were only intended
to aggrandze individuals and outside
agents have frequently controlled legis-

as elsewhere, since the foundation of he
State Government-l refer to the infiu-
ence exercised over legislation by those
who are usually called Lobby Mem
bers." Gentlemen of influence and
position are frequently found at the Seat
of Government, during the session of
the Legislature, selling out their services
TO secure the passage of laws Caring
bat little for the merits of the measure,
they are ready. for consideration, 10

is generally the case, the fee is con

constantly taxed and means are used
which sometimes throw suspicion upon
the integrity of the legislator himself
1t need not be said that when legisFs
tion is transferred from the Chamber
and Hall to the " Lobby" the public
treasury will soon be plundered. When
the Legislature Is used for the purpose
of passing bills concocted by spectators,
public confidence must soon be destroy

into contempt.

place 1t is little singular, that no

subject Of The pardoning power, bet
ter than anything We can say on the
subject. We quote the following from
his Nsssage::
The Governor is charged with no
duty more delicate, more embarrassing,
or more painful, than that of deciding
petitions for pardon. These petitions
are oftsntimes numerously sighcd by
respectable citizens, and occasionally
pressed by the streaming tears of
broken-heal ted kindred To resist such
appeals requires strength and stcadi-
ness of nerve pproximating to stoicism,
end deafness to the cries of the af1llct-
ed whicl, resembles Indifference to
hsmau woe. The friends, and cften
relatives Of unfortunate convlcts, have,
during the past year, implored executive
clemency in no less than twenty eases
where sense of public duty compel lied
me to turn deaf car. If | had allow
ed sym pathy to have controlled my ac-
tons, great many now III prison would
be at large. Applications were made to
commute punishment from death to im>
prisonment, in four different cases. The
Supreme Court having decided that this
power is vested in the Governor by the
Constitution. the record in each case
was carefully examined, and, although
it panied me much to refuse to save the
life of fellow being, | could not obtain
the consent of my judgment to grant
the commission. The law makes
murder in tire FIRST degree capital Of

the facts leave no doubt On my mind
