We donot regard the present system AZ

the system has begun to work smoothly,

tclligcntly.
The Governor says nothing about
Convention; but his moderation OF tone,
his recommendations of rigid economy,
and what he says about cnlranchisemcnt
and good feeling all point in the opposite
direction.
There is scarcely anything in the Gov.
ernors remarks, perhaps nothing with
the exception referred to, that will
not meet general approval We believe
We can say on behalf Of the Republicans
that Gov. Jacob enters upon his office
with their respect, and if he enforces in
his administration and cmbodics in his
future recommendations to the Lcgisla
ture the policy here indicated, he will re.
ceive their cordial support therein.
