con. Iu the outset I wish to say I shall don
make no allusion to the motives of the
Governor in writing this message. I shall
neither impeach nor vindicate his motives,
but leave them with his conscience, bia
country and his God. Other messages of
the Governor have been grossly erroneous
iu their statements, and greatly injurious
in their effects, but I have uot alluded ui
them because controversy in times like
these should be avoided if possible. But
this is the critical hour of our fate, and
this is the most unfortunate of messa
ges, aud if these who know its errors fail! amend our Cousiitu
to declare them, they arc derelict in doty und cun only mean
to the greatest of human interests. Even j and that another revolution practically
facts which are true, but which damage > means, and can only mean a failure iu this
our cause, ought not to be stated unless j struggle!
necessity requires their statement. But! Therefore I say: This message of Gov.
