From ,si. announcement !, appears that His /
Excellencv. q p Moarox. is attempting TO carry

account. The IntelIgencer. good authority.

revolutionary purposes. We understand that
His Exceliency has applied to the officers OF
State. to the Sinking Fund commissioners. to the
Bank Of the Suite. and to the commissioners OF
various counties for the to the ma
chnery Of government not only without the au- /
thorty Of Law. but in direct sirbatim thereof. In
fact he Is urging the Administration officers Of
the State to assume responsibilities which render
them liable 70 severe punishment-i0 the penalty
of severe fines and imprisonment
The Governor is evidently lsboring nDder the
hllucination that he il the State-the govern
ment. and that all must yield to his wishes and

tiusuished failure He has gone up like rocket
aud he will fall a. the stick
The Constitution says the Governor % shall see
that the laws are faithfully executed" He has
only executive power IL is made the duty Of
the General Assembly to raise the revenue ne
cessary for the support of the State Government,
anI To appropriate it The Constitution aud the
laws provide the officers who shall collect and
hold that revenue. and dsburse il in pursu-
ance of appropriations made 10y law" The Gov
ernor has no power To receive and disburse the
monies belonging to or received for the benefit
OF the State That i made the dnty of the An
ditor and Treasurer Of State exclusively.
The factions conduct of the Republican mem
bers Of the vi Legislature prevented the passage
of Laws making the necessary appropriations to
