ALBANY, Jan. :.
GOV. Scymour's Message was sent To the
Legislature to-day. On national affairs he
say- e. Not only i the national life at stake,
but every personal, every family, every sacred
interest l. involved. The truths of our inan-
cial and military situation must not be kept
hack There must bee no attempt to put
down free expression of public opinion.
Afrighted at ruin they have wrought.the au
thors Of our calamitics north and south in
sist that this war was caused by an unayoid-
able contest about slavery This has been a
subject. not the cause Of controversy. We
are 10 look for the causes ofthe war in per-
vading disregard of Obligations of laws and
constitutions, in disr,spect for the constitu-
ted authorities. and above all in local preiu-
diccs which have grown up in two portions of
the atlantic States. the two extremes of our
country. THERE'S no honest statement Of our
difficulties which does not teach that our
people must reform themselves as well rs the
conduct Of the government and the policy of
our rulcrs
It il not too late to save our country if we
will enter upon the sacred duty in the right
spirit and in the right way. When We do
50 the effect will d. seen and felt throughout
our land and by the civilized world
We shall then strengthen our Government.
We shall weaken the rebellion, we shall unite
our people and the world will recognize our
capacity for -elfgoycrnmcnt when we show
that we are capable of self-reform.
Where it is the right of our government to
decide upon measures and policy, it is our du-
ty to obey, and 70 give a ready support to
their decisions. This is a vital maxim Of
liberty. This war should have been ayerted.
but when IT. food inundated the world over,
the administration could not comprehend its
dimensions, nor control its sweep. The gov
ernment was borne along with the current
and struggled as it best could with its resist
less tide
Few seem able to comprehend its military
or financial problems. Hence we are not to
sit in harsh Judgment upon errors in conduct
or policy.
But while we oonccdo all these excuses for
mistakes, we are not to adopt errors nor
sanction violations of principle. The same
causes which extenuate their faults in judg-
ment must make Us more vigilant to guard
against their influences.
The Governor then urges economy and in
tegrity in the administration of affairs, vital
in periods of war. He says meddling and
intrigue have paralyzed the valor of our
soldiers, and still their generals [remain? p
within the influence of the capital, while our
armies have gained victories in fields remote
therefrom.
