The Governor of Alabama and the Oonsti-
tutional Amendment.


The kilograms to the Northern press in re-
lation TO the recent message Of the Govern
or of Alabama, have very naturally pro-
duced the impression that Governor Patton
Is Internationally in favor Of the adoption
of the constitutional amendment. This.
however, is not the case. Governor Patton
is now, as ever, opposed in principle to the
amendment, aud re was only anxious that
the question should have the most careful
and earnest consideration with full knowl-
edge Of That consequences would in all
probability attend its definite rejection.
The following is the message in fun
ENECUrtvE DEP'T OF ALABAMA,
Montgomery, December 6, 1866
Gentleman Of the Sc,!ats and House Of Rpre-
SeEtdGvGs
Events Of vas, Importance arc now fran
spring which bear with peculiar force upon
the relations which Alabama sustains 20 tho
Union.
To these events we cannot be indifferent
they are of so vital character that VIC
should give them calm and deliberate cop-
sideratIon.
As TIE Chief Executive of the State,
deCnt it duty undcr the Constitution, to
express in form, the apprehension, which
you doubtless share With mo, lest the stab-
lity of our affairs be suddenly broken up.
There is an unnistAkahle purpose upon
the part Of these who control the national
| Legislature to enforce, ut all hazards, their
own terms of restoration.
The means they rroposc threaten to at
once reverse our progress towards the eS-
tablishment CT that permanent tranquility
which is so much desired by all. TODD 50,
is to immeasurably augment the distresss
which now exists, and to inauguratc confu-
| sion, the end OF Which no human presence
| Can foresee.
To-day the cardinal principle of rostora-
| tiof! seems to be favorable action upon the
proposed auendmcnt of the constitution,
which Transmitted TO YOU in my annual
message.
Upon the merits of that amendment my
| views are already known. They are found
| ell upon principle. aud are unchanged.
The necessity Of the case an. now con.
straped to think is different. we should
look our true condition full in the face.
/, therefore, recommend onew TO your
consideration this measure in the light in
which it now presents itself, or sHch other
measure as your wisdom may suggest.
Should you see prober to ratify il, we may
| trust to time and the influence of our repre-
sentatives ~ mitigate its harshness. If, on
| the other hand, admission be delayed, the
warning to our sister States may be relied
upon to prevent that concurrence on their
part, which alone can give the measure
practical effect.
Having done ALL we may then commit orr
cause to just God. r, NJ. PATTON.
The reading Of the message caused somc
excitement, an in the Senate it was refer
red to the Committee on Federal Relations,
by yeas "a, noes s. IN the House no action
was taken.
Telegrams of the 7th, already published,
announce that the Legislature rejected the
amendment on that day by an overwh elming
majority.
