GOV. LETCHER,S MESSAGE.

On The 9Th inst. Gov. Letcber, of Virginia,
sent his message 10 the legislature Of the State,
accompanied with letter from Governor
Brown, and the joint resolutions recently a.
dopted bv the Legislature of Georgia, IN which
they declare that the seParatlono OF the latter
Stats sis final and irrevocable, entertain any
proposition from any quarter which may have
for It's object restoration or reconstruction OF
the old Union on apv terms or conditions what
ever
The message is an extraordinary estate pa
per y portion of il initiates the style OF our
Declaration OF Independence, substituting The
name OF President Lincoln for George the lhlrd,
ia setting forth his grieeances.-Fhe Governor
is foil of fight, and nanifesls spirit OF reckless
daring and determination conquer or die.
One Of his closing paragraphs IS the follow
ing;
"The occurrences of the past nine months
have demonstrated conciusiyeiy that we cannot
live together as equals under the Government OF
the United States, and the ha5itnal violation OF
the provisions Of the Constitution, and the open
disregard of the laws by President Lincoln ard
! his official, render governmental association be-
/ tween Us impossible. Mutual confidence has
been succeeded by mutual hatred aud aver
/ sion. No government can be enduring
which does not possess the affection and respect
of the governed. Iteannot be that the people
of ihe Confederate States can again entertain
feeling of affection and respect tor The Govern
meni of the II. States. We believe, therefore,
separation us aud oughi to be hnal and ire

stances, entertain any proposition, from any
quarter, which may have for It's object res
,ora,ion or reconstruction OF the late Union, on
