MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR IIEn-
PE8f1EXS,

The message Of Governor Humphreys, Of
Mississippi, one of Andrew Johnson's par
doned rebel Generals, to the Legislature Of
that State, which VIC published Saturday
morning, does moi speak very we'll for the
temper or loyalty of its author, or the people
hc represents lie evidently forgets that the
rebellion Is at an end. He speaks of New
England with all the t!ippant insolcncc of a
stump orator in ante-seccsslon times. "The
"cloud Of fanatirissn that rose in the East, at
:" first 10 larger than a mans hand, and
"srsead with such Irresistible fury, over
Throwing constitutional barriers, and de-
stroyiug the rights anl property Of a por-
"tion Of the States Of the Union. still over
shadows the land," Is the impudcnt de-
claration Of this pardoned Humphreys.
by the "clond of G.naticlsm' in the East,
he mcars the anti-slavcry sentiment of the
country by the a" rights ofa portion Of the
Statcs," he means the right Of secession, and
by their property he signifies the slaves
cmancipated bS the war. And get this
Governor would probably brand as sauacr,
the assertion that he and his people have
not accepted the results Of the war in good
Faith. Ina single sentence he concentrates
the entire venom Of secession aud rebellion.
and in the very next he complains that tue
Senators and Representatives Of Mississippi
arc not admitted to their seats. If his mes.
sage is specimen Of the loyalty that seeks
representation In Congress, we hope sincere
II the doors may be boltcd against It forever,
or ut least until it is changed in it's very
essence aud nature.

OH
Your readers will have noticed from
the Publication in your last numbers, that
an election will be held on Friday next
for returning a Member of the Colonial
Council in the place of Lawyer E. A.
Heilbuth, who has withdrawn on account
of his approaching departure on q voyage
tor his health. | will not venture to pro-
pose any person for election, but | con-
slider it necessary 10 draw the attention
of those possessing the right of voting in
this town to the Importance Of the ques-
lions now pending in the Colonial Coun-
Gil regarding new rules for building in
the towns. In our midst there is one
particular gentleman whose studies have
been peculiarly directed TO architecture,
and who, as a native of the Island, and
resident for many years is intimately ac-
qualnted with our local circumstances.
| allude TO Mr.. William CIindinen, who
was formerly for a short period Member
of the Colonial Council. 1 do not be-
lieve that he will put himself up as q
candidate for election f.; but I think that
he, living very near to this town and be-
ing almost every day in town, can have
no more reason to excuse himself than
other persons who already have seats in
the Council by election which they did
not wish at all, but which they had TO
accept as a general communal burthcn.

Your obdt. Servt.

Der of the Colonial Council to serve in
the place of Lawyer Heilbuth, who has
lately retired, will take place on Friday
next, the 18th inst. at the Court House

electors to w. Clindinen Esqr. as a fit
candidate. We cordially agree with him
as to the qualifications of that gentleman
and would be glad to see him returned
as a member.
WI publish in this days issue a lengthy
debate that occurred, not long ago, in
the House of Lords on the present state
of Europe, in which the conduct of the
English Government, in the late Danish
war, was severely criticised. 1t will be
quite evident, after perusing this debate,
that England or Engishmen were not

BRAZIL. The Emperor of Brazil,
who, as we have said on q former
occasion, is very clever and enlight-
ened gentleman, is expected in the
United States before q great while.
Such Of our friends as have Brazil on
the brain should possess their souls
In patience until his Majesty S advent,
when they may possibly obtain i'm
portant information in regard to that
country, which could not be readily
procured through any other source.
While every one has the undeniable
right to elect for himself in the mat
ter, We are apprehensive that emigra-
ton to Brazil, like emigration from
this country to Mexico, will result, in
a majority of cases, in disappoint-
ment and misery.

The Gold-Gambling Telegram.

Fridays papers, from New York,
give accounts of the intense excite
ment pervading monetary circles in
that and other Northern cities, from
the receipt of u despatch announcing
that President Johnson lad submit
ted to the Attorney-Gencral certain
queries respecting the constitution
ality of the present rump Congress,
and that probably the Attorney len
eral would decide against Congress.
Gold run up two OF three per cent
and Wall street was knocked out of
all propriety.
For the life Of us, we cannot see
why all this hubbub. If the PreI-
dent has doubts concerning the con-
stitutionality Of Congress, Us now or
ganlzed, we presume the course
reported to have been taken was the
usual method of obtaining legal in
formation upon which to base his ac-
sion. The AtSorney-General is his
constitutional law adverser, and, as in
the recent correspondence in relation
to the case Of Jefferson Davis, he
would be perfectly justifable in apply
ing for proper information. But it
is not probable that the President
would seek to still further keep up
the political excitement which, for
the past few weeks, has swept over
the Northern States He has pro-
nounced much Of the legislation of
thepresent Congress unconstitutional,
but he may not be prepared to test
the qualifications of the body itself
just now. From his past course, we
are inclined to hope that the right
man will be in the right place, and
at the right time.
