MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR BANKS OF MAsSA-
CHUSETTS.
BosToS, Jan. G. l860.-The Message of Governor
Banks, delivered to the Legislature to-day, mainly
relates to affairs of the commonwealth, which are
represented to be in prosperous condition. The
Governor devotes some space to the present excl
ting national question: in which he saws the repeal
OF the Missouri Compromise was the most stupen-
dous public wrong ever committed in this country
or that men will ever live to commit, not because
ofits effect Kansas, but that it instituted policy
OF violence inconsistent with liberty or lust govern
ment of freedom of opinion, the interests of labor
the rights of States the equality of the people, the
observance of the constitutional limitations or the
perpetuation of free institutions A violent policy
must be sustained by violent measures. History
proves it, and our experience, that of other ma
lions, will verify it. The people of Massachusetts,
under all circumstances, are inhexibly opposed to-
and will resist by every constitutional right the
extension of slavery the reopening of the foreign
slave trade, the Consolidation of despotic power in
the federal government, or restrictions upon the
freedom OF speech or the press or of opinions She
asks of the government the neglect of no interest
state or national; but claims protection for ALL and
is as ready to concede the rights of others as to
maintain her own. She will support the Constitu-
'loH anu tHe OnlOn, not because they respected
elsewhere, but because she knows their cost and
appreciates their value.
The Revolution began in Massachusetts, Here
arose the earliest discussion with the mother coun
try. Here the people first prepared to revolt Her
patriots were first prescribed. Independence was
first contemplated. Here fell the first martyrs to
liberty. The first British ensign here struck
to American seamen, and here was first unfurled
the American flag. We require no instruction upon
the subject of our duties, and will submit to no in
fringement of our rights. The Union must be pre-
served, and so must the State of Massachusetts,.
The Governor further says: Nor do | apprehend
that the restoration of the government to its an
Gent policy Will weaken its bonds tend to the
dissolution of the Union. In my Judgment dssolu
ton is one of the evils not within the scope if it be
within the purposes, of human power. There are
stronger and sterner ties than those which spring
from the wish or will of interested men. The Pacific
coast is an indivisible empire. Whoever shall d. |
vide the Mississippi must possess the power to dissi
pate Its rolling floods and desiccate its bed and turn
back upon themselves the myriads of bubblinp |
springs and mountain rvulets that have nourished
the father of rivers from the time when the even |
ing and morning stars first sang together The |
Atlantic coast is susceptible of separation unon
physical considerations but the possession of such
cities as New York, Philadelphia, Boston, that paw |
four hfths of the revenue of the government will |
be OF sufficient Importance to hold together the |
Eastern line of States, on whatsoever side polit
cal power may be lodged. Dissolution is not among |
the Impending evils OF the country; but the forms
Df government are more imminent and must chal. |

.titutional liberty.
