duties on the 18th. The Governor, in his
message, pledges himself Ito faithfully carry

ance Of the Constitution The conclusion Of
his message is as follows;
''It]wouId be unnatural II we did not rejoice at
our great victory in favor OF a government of the
State by the people once more, and we would be
untrue 70 principle II we did not rejoice ut the
recent splendid exhibition Of popular supremacy
all over our Union, from New York to Louisiana,
and from Texas TO Virginia. But while we do
congratulate ourselves and the people Of sister
States we must the victory prudently and
wisely, and show the world we are worthy Of IL.
Let no animosities of the past mar it, beauty
Let bitter memories Of other days spoil lts
charms or lessen It's benefits. Let us forget the
past only far as il may serve to warn ue against
evils in the administration Of our Government
and go forward TO remedy these evils and make
and enforce a government for all alike with It's
benefits and it, burdens. We want no strife, no
turmoil, but we want and must have peace and
order and to this end the laws should and must
be enforced rigidly. But no man living under
them should be unjustly or illegally deprived Of
one ota Of his rights and let no man be put IN
fear, or injured. or denied any right, on account
of race color or previous condition of servitude,
or on account Of former residence or difference in
political opinion. Our united energies directed
upon this theory 10 the development Of the re-
sources of the state viii in short time destroy
forever the dark and ugly spots Of the past In her
history, and will make hera pace to be looked
upon, and q which all people wiil be delighted
% write and TO speak. We will then prove That
we not only have good government but that we
properly appreciate its blessings, and know how
TO manage and control such government.
