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.
