THE POLICY GOVERNOR HOLDEN
Since his return from washin gton Mr. Holden has
been camnly celebrating To the best way and
to tho welfare of his state in this the greatest
crisis Of her existence. The tcntatious
which he has undertaken o,schargo the guberna,oria
functions, the complete absasv Of anything like arb
trary determination after the dictates Of his own
feelings his submission Of his opinions the guidance
Of the loyal Uni0nsts whom he has invoked In council
about him, have mado for him earnest friends Of
those who heretofore his political and social con-
trsres, and parslyzed the'enmity Of those who at
nrst thought that more suitable appointment Of
Governor might have been made.
As these remarks would Indicate he has 20 far taken
and will take step which s not deliberately matured
He has pleased all by the manner in which he has
eschewed autocrac powers His first his arrival
was to summon the prominent Union of the State
and his house has been lepse Of them since He
has talked with all He has discussed canvassed and in
vestgated the merits OF and things every county
Of the State, and ~ thoroughly posted the best
terests Of all He has not been self-opinlonaed He
has welcomed the advice oli compe.ent assist him.
and in whose judgment he could trust.
His policy during his administration will be national
one. He will be thorough friend Of tho government,
and which does assirnlate the State to
the federal Union will meet with his approval; and we

s% S S f q sfy TnSn a1 should S Ia
view and act accordingly, and all VIII be well
IMPORTANT FEATURE
Of Governor Holdens policy will be to separate the
acts 6f the Legislature which met during tho pro-
grcss OF the rebellion into two ciasses--those
ferring to the so-caed Confederate government
and those referring TO State and domestic matters
only, and suggest the action OF tho Convention Of
class Many matters affecting individual interests
oil connected with the cause or the objects for which the
rebellion was naugufatcd have within the scope OF
the late State Legislatures thus, for instance the APP
pointment of magistrates who have socmnizcd hume
rous marriages during tho II the Of these Le
gsatures are to be declared void then the magistrates
appointed have been without proper authority the
MARRIAGES so solemnzed have been empty forms and
the children born from them illogitmate This Is
but one instance of number which might cite
where total disregard OF the authority OF the rebel
state Legislatures would be the occasion Of much private
and individual injustice Governor Holden comprebends
the situation, and while he will not in the eas counte-
any which concerned the rebel gov
ment he will prudenty regard the rights of all loyal or
dsoyai where such rights are consistently and justly
demanded.
