The follow is a copy Of the Governors Message
.'Faving been duly elected by you as Executive OF
the Provisional Territorial Government of Nevada
Territory, and deeming it my duty to address
you upon the subject of our separation from the land
Of Mormon legislation, present to you my reasons
why an organization OF the Provisional Government
would, at tire present time, be mpoitc. AT the time
we were compelled 10 assemble IN our sovereign ca
pacy 10 endeavor 10 rid ourselves Of the teOcrailc
rule Of Mormon we had protection for life, limb,
or property; we had petitioned Congress for relief
agsnst the unjust and Illegal attempts Of the Mormon,
to force upon laws and customs obnoxious to every
American; we had no Courts nor county organizations
save those controlled by the sworn satellites OF The
Salt Lake olgaIchy. go .
On political rights were entirely at the will OF q
certain clique, composed Of those who opposed
10 the rst principles of cur Constitution and The free
dom OF the ballot-box. Under these circumstance,
we endeayoTed to relieve ourselves from these imposi-
tons and believing that Provisional Government
would best assure us protection to life limb and prop
erv we held elections, and made all necessary
Iangements for the formation Of temporary Govern
ment, until Congress should give us justice and pro-
lection. Since election, have been deprived,
by dispeDsatOn Of Providence, Of our esteemed dele
gate 20 Congress, James d. Crane, whose whole ener-
pies were devoted To the best interests Of people
and W no carried with him 10 the grave the kindest
wishes Of US all and who should have inscribed upon
his tombstone, An honest man, the noblest work OF
God
"Witbin the past few months, an attempt has been
made by Judge Cradlebangh to establish the United
States District Court in this district. Coming among
us as he did with the prestige of his noble stand
against Salt Lake Legislation, we at once yielded to
him and his Court all the respect accorded in any
community but Notwithstanding all his endeayors,
backed by the good wshes of the people, the socaed
laws of Utah Territory have proved TO him insur
mouniable barrier. We have now en- route 10 wash
ngor a. delegate TO Congress to represent and
wishes John j. Musser unanimously elected by the
people TO fill the vacancy occasored by the decease OF
the lamented Crane and in whom We have the most inn
pcit confidence.
The recent discoveries of gold silver copper, and
lead mines, has caused An influx OF population, totally
unexpected at the time Of our late Convention. The
new emigration is composed Of the bone and snew OF
California, Of men who are disposed to pay all due
obedience 10 laws which extend 10 them n reasonable
protection IN Ter the circumstances.
But few members of the Council and the House Of
Delegates have assembled in accordance with the eau
for their election, now, therefore, Isaac Roop, Gov
erior of the Provisional Territorial Government OF
Nevada Territory, believing 1t to be the wish of the
people st TO rely the of Justice of Congress,
and that it will this fesson relieve from the nume-
rous evils 10 which we have been subjected 10 pro-
claim the session of the Legislature adjourned until
the fret Monday Of January, 1850 and call upon all
good citizens 10 support with all their energies the
laws and Government of the United States.
