On the 7th of September Col Kinney wis sworn
Into office ns civil mid military Governor of San

You have eecn Gt by your unsolicited .-iff. a.; • to ;

Thankful fur tlio honor tints conferred. I ae-

Yon are now familiar with tint purposes which
hftre brought mu to your chores Contrary to the
Bftlioious rumors which preceded my utfival. you
low we tbftt 1 have Come not to rob and destroy,
but to build up your ci y tin I your fortunes, and
by peaceful emigration to assist in the develop-
MBt of your entire country. lam happy, there
fbrt, io referring to the late election as a flattering
aod aoMlueiro testimony of your confi.lenee in my
oolf, and of the eymp ithy and co operation wTHcTT
you are disposed to extend to my great undertak
ing—an undertaking, to say the least, quite ns
bonsflcisl to yourselves ns to me.
To entry out these objects of mutual advantage,
however it 10 necessary for us not only to hr unit
laws nud Bunielpal regulations as shall secure for
WlWpOOt nod consideration abroad us well ns at
home. The nbeeooe of t’te custom try forms of
GoVOrWMMt would deter many desirable persons
from wttling among us. and certainly the ostub-
Tilbmsnt and maintenance of such forms cannot
(• nay autnocr operate to your prejudice.
I presume fellow-citizens, ibis hardly necessary
boro for mo to repeat what 1 have so often an and
publicly stated to you in conversation, that under
nsy adßiniatrutioo all individual rights acquired
la good faith before the foundation of the present
Government shall he scrupulously respected, in
Saying this I speak the sentiments of all my uxso
’ In reference to the long standing difficulties with
4bo Accessory Tram it Company, I am still in hopes
that-they will soon be removed by amicable nego
tiations which Bay result in an arrangement ml
naatagoow alike to the company and to you. ‘!'•>
diet uadi a settlement without the sacrifice of
Jaatiae or bcaor shall be the constant aim of my
emlleaa Meanwhile I would especially urge n
. ahaaij nlwtinonrs front nil hasty and merely re i
tagatnry Bcnsnres. Let no action he taken with-1
aallbU end aalm deliberation. aDd let nothing be
4om which cannot be juitified ho fore the world.
gs v biob WO ahould be ashamed to vindicate at the
baaard of oar property and our lives
j Notwithstanding the failure of tbe last Congress
of tlie I'nited States to make nn appropriation re
munerating the citixens of San Juan for their loss
! c from the bomhiirdnont of tlie city by ( apt lb !*
j I ins. there is a cheering prospect that justice will
I to some extent, be rendered at its coming session
\ men-urc so important to the business interests
of the people, and so urgently demanded by every
consideration of justice and humanity, cannot be
postponed consistently with tlie g .nd name of the
Unerican Government. Kvory-: i (Tort of mine,

on tin? auspicious <*,iiiiiio fiecnirtit of the new Gov

| lying ns I do upon your cordial and undivided sup

the hope that whatever else may serve to promote
the public welfare nnd add dignity to the State
whether it he the encouragement of agriculture,

Grin and Bear it!
Wi 11, we .suppose lieisclicl V. Johnson is again .
elected Governor of (ie. rgia. We have no confi
dence in him—never had. and don't believe be
j can ge't bis own c nsent to ndniiir.ster the affairs.
!of State .independent of party bia*. We believe
that bis'oflivial acts will always bear the taint of;
party favoritism, and that he will not even ando 1
justice to ids political opponents. In short, we
! have no idea that lie will proven governor for
the i >;‘s. using his best efforts to promote the in- ‘
tercets of ail parties in tlie State. It is not in him
lie is all over covered and imbued with the bitter- j
ness of poi tv hatred, and lacks the soul to rise* I
I above bis prejudices But lie is elected, and il ‘
. others can stand it. we can.
’ Our main hope now is in tiio conservative i
strength of the American Party in the Legislature, 1
f Bv concert of action they may Ie able to restrain, j
in some degree, the corrupt tendencies of the Lx
eeutive. J hey should t ike sonio stop for relieving
I the people from the impositions imposed upon !
, them through the agency of the State Railroad J
! It has been tho instrument ol political bargaining !
1 and corruption long enuug'u. and we would rather i
; sec it gne't away, than to be longer used in aid of
political ambition. Its entire conduct should be
closely scrutinized and the abuses complained of
i investigated. Especially should the Executive be
made to account for the discredit which has been
i brought upon our State .by the levy and sale olj
! its property.’
We repeat, vve have nocnnfidence in the present
! Governor, and if his administration terminates
successfully for the interests of the people, we shall
be agreeably disappointed.

It is useless to speculate upon the causes of de

defeated, but not conquered. It is nut in the na

Had our lathers of the Revolution done so. there
would have been no Republican government on

may line been over-anguine of success, but the

The Whigs of Massachusetts.
There has recently been held a convention of:
Whigs at Worcester, .Massachusetts, which repu
di.ltcs the fanaticism of thfl l'u-i*'Hists of 11,1(11'”
State. Resolutions were passed, declaring in sub
stance that the Whig party shou and now. mere
than over, keep itself aloof from entinghng alli
ances: that they are now as ever the party of the
constitution : that the pending election is a State
matter: repudiate the Personal liberty 1 ill. and I
advocate its erasure before a collision ensues ; that
the present Liquor-law is a failure, and that we
go tor a law which is constitutional and will, pro .
mote tho cau*e.of Temperance : that the orgurVi-j
zation of a Northern National party on the single
issuo of opposition to slavery would enJanger ttie
existence of the ITuun. and the defeat of it would,
■paralvze northern sentiment: that if a uni nos
pu-ti .'s should ever become necessary, it must be
a union of National patriots of all parties of tho
Union to resist the aggressions <d fanaticism.
Mr. Choate in his letter said that the party of
Fusion is in the worst sense a geographical party,
and that the Whigs will not juin.any party that
does not carry the flag, und keep stop totlie music
of the Union
The lion Geo S Hilliard of Boston mnde a
lengthy speech, in which lie styled the “ Fusion ”
the rag baby party llealsoalluded to the speech
of Senator Wade of Ohio during the late Maine
Canvass, and said that ite_dhuniot sentiments,;
were calculated to wake Washington in his grave. !
As to the Personal Liberty bill, others might call j
it nullification, but be called it treason.
