bed men, to say the least. and In the mild.st
form but do not think We had single such

We cannnot but bslieve that the Governor
indited the above. a. the peculiar phraseology
indicat's it's paternity; but We cannot believe
that it is really meass IN it, literal se.se. If
it is. then the Governors eagle. in the Mes.

We do not. Of course, attach much impor.
lance to tho oath Of men who have treason in
their hearts. for we find hundreds now in open
hostility to the Constitution and Laws. who.
but few months ago were above suspicion
but we were surprised that majority Of our
Legislature should 90 boldly give expression
to their sentiments Of hostility to the Govern
ment, and still more surprised and unwilling
to believe that Gov. Tuney meant to endorse
their action.
Tho concluding sentence Of the extract is
painfully significant. Well may we exclaim,
Is that dagger we zee before us! 1t ap-
pears almost incredible that man who would
write the annexed patriotic extract contained
in Message to the Legislature. could, in his
right senses and with all the facts before him,

it appear. however. that such is actually the
