TIM COMMERCIAL has special news by
telegraph from all important news CEN
tiers in the country. and correspondents
i'm places of most considerable interest
both in Europe and America.
Eastern wccklic> can not compete with
rs in news. We use the telegraph so
largely that every important fact, and all
documents ofconscquence. are published
i'm the Commercial simultaneously with
their publication in New York. and we
arc therefore two days ahead of all pa
pcrs published on the scaboard in the
circulation OF news in the west and we
arc often in matters of highest impor-
lance Il week ahead of eastern wecklics.
The Weekly Commercial contains
fort, eight columns of matter. of which
not TO exceed three are filled with advcr-
tiscmcnt>. leaving
Forty five Columns of Reading Matter.
The form Of the Commercial the
New York and London cigl,i-lagc style
lis far preferable to the old blankct-shcct
arrangements. Ii is handled with tacili-
~. and when fled and bound makes Il
handsome and convenient volume.
The proprictors OF the commercial.
while impartial news gaihcrcrs and pub
fishers. are not neutral in politics. We
are devoted Ia the nationality of the
American republic: the preservation Of
the territorial integrity: the vindication
Of our credit. and the inviolablc liberty
and equality before the law of all good
citizclls

We have carefully perused the annual
message Of Cow Warmoths and witheQt

uoas displdy ofstatenansh1n w are free
to say it cdnta,ns nothing absolutely OBJ
ieetionahles ~ A ~
The orenshg postic1 ofths message we
are inclined to regard IS the most slgnltl
cant, being the portion that refers to polltls
cal subjects and to which We must look
for indications of the Governors future
course toward. the people Of the State. l."
him have geen rrposed the powers of one
branch of~vthe State ges~raHae"t, powers
pregnant with good or evil for the State.
The same hw IF destiry which thus rails
ed him above the common level, compels
us to regard him as the Chief Executive OF
1.-THE State, and places our interests in his
keeping. His declarations Il as Governor
are, therefore, mdeser Of concern to US all
In this light we have read ana now speak
OF his message. .s.'-.... .s,.
1t is with pleas lre we. observe an absence
Of all partisan bitterness from the Cover,
nor's message. 1t is free from Radical
cant and does the people justice: He re-
cognizes the good feeling that exists
among the people of both races" with a
trankness and candor, which, considering
the persistent attempts of bis party f'iends
to prove does not exist, compeIs Us to say
he has an Independence of spirit we had
not expected: In another place, he speaks
unreservcdiy Of "the genial and hosp table
character OF our people, as an Indictment
to secure immigration into the State; and
nowhere is the message soiled by an ex,
preston rejecting upen the good charac
ter, morals and peaceable disposition Of the
people of the State. When a Radical Gov
ernor, of the imported class, can thu,
divesl himself of prejudices and partisan
bias, we are ready to own our surprise,
whatever maybe his designs, and to COZ
gratulvte him upon the victory ne has
i achieved. N .r r..l r.. f. ..t.+ 81
