AUGUSTA- GEO:
Holiday KnnHHi Xov. P, HW.
The Governor’s Mess«K e *
Most documents of this kind, at the
present day, are put forth less as a guide
to Legislators in the discharge o
arduous duties before them, than as a
manifesto of principles to the P°P uli «*,
that they may know, from quar
ters, what are the qualities of ‘heir Mag
istrate, which entitle him to the confi
dence and perhaps further support of Ins
friends. The day has, by some years,
K onc past, when legislative bodies in
this country felt that they could be ad
vised by the Executive. Nor do the
Solons who assemble yearly at the State
Capitol doubt that their far-seeing wis
dom would he a safe reliance in all ca
ses touching the common weal and more
especially as regards their own and their
friends’ interest. An annual guberna
torial message is now a thing to be lis
tened to by the assembled Legislature,
but mentioned, afterwards, only when
the future political prospects of his Ex
cellency are the theme of conversation.
We e-teem Governor Brown an honest
politician,-* rare, avis, in these days of
laxity, when it is very common to hear
a distinction taken between private and
political honesty,-yet we cannot divest
ourselves of the idea that the message
was penned under a vivid consciousness
that there is to be a Gubernatorial elec
tion next summer, and hence with his
\ heart warming in good will to all, he
has avoided all expression of sentiment
1 which might give offence to any, save
those already his avowed enemies. W (
opine that nearly all will find his Ex
cellency in a mood unusually cenciliato
ry. We condemn no man for desiring
to make friends, but we regret that Gov
Brown has commended some thing!
I which under the single influence of the
r oreticai Democracy he would hardly fa
vov. While we shall be compelled t<
disapprove most emphatically some por
tioDS of the address, we yet impute m
had motive to the author, hut only i
possible warping of judgment under pe
culiar influences.
Os course the Governor is down on
the Banks. We say, of course, because
the pride of consistency as well as the
professed tenets of the party, to which
he belongs, force him to maintain to
wards the Banks, the hostile attitude
which lie assumed,when— a novice in in
trigue— ,he first found himself seated in
the Executive chair. He has made hit
ter enemies of the Bank men, and of
all whom they control; and as lie can
not humiliate himself, he must fight out
the battle in which he engaged under
the belief that theory is, in all men,
akin to practice ; a most woful mistake,
as far as large numbers of our politi
cians are concerned. Twelve months
ago he did not seem to understand how
hazardous it may lie to say to a compar
ative stranger, let us show our faith
by fighting the Banks; until he should
have first assured himself that the in
dividual addressed was not in bank pay.
He understands the principle now,
though, and as before intimated, lie lias
taken care to offend no one by a too ri
olent opposition, unless perhaps it be
the voluntary homicides. These poor
devils ought, he thinks, to serve the
State, in many cases, for a longer term
than that prescribed by present law,and
he is perhaps vight, there. We think so.
But we would have been pleased had he
suggested some plats by which more of
this class could be consigned to the Pen
itentiary.
His strictness upon our present Bank
ing system are no doubt just in the
main, though the evils complained of,
are perhaps less ascribable to the fault
of Bankers than of Legislators. But
the remedy whicli he proposes in tire
prohibition of small bills, we conceive
to be worse than any of the evils com
plaind of, and is something like one
were to attempt knocking down a ra
ging bull with a straw hat.
The views of the Governor in refer
ence to taxing Railroad Companies we
look upon as eminently proper, while
we entirely disapprove of his views in
regard to giving aid to Railroads direct
ly or indirectly from the Treasury. It
is perhaps in this point as much as in
any other that we think a disposition to
conciliate has obscured tire path of true
Democracy, i The views which we enter
fain and have set forth in regard to the
State Road would necessarily lead us to
condemn all projects of State aid to
corporations of a speculative character.
The plan of leasing the Western and
Atlantic Road we object to in every way
and form. The result would be to aug
ment the evils now connected with the
| Road as State property, and could only
build up another powerful corporation
to sway the legislation of the State by
f lobby influence. But while we condemn
the proposed lease because we thiuk the
sale of the Road is the only proper
course, we must commend the freedom
with which he advises the appropriation
f ' of the Road's income to educational pur
poses. But the'plan advanced for a
school system we conceive to be totally
inadequate to meet the wants of the
State, and, worse still for its practical
k worth, can never receive a popular sup
l port, because it would be diametrically
opposed to existing interests which will
always have strength enough to defeat
any scheme that might injure them-;
selves.
The most remarkable feature about j
the message is the absence of allusion to!
I national politics or to party. Iti this;
respect the paper is in striking contrast |
with those which have emanated from
some of our previous patriotic govern-j
oors!
Whether, in thus ignoring party in-j
terests and issues, he was actuated
bv a sense of propriety, or hadm,
view any contingencies that may cf
• feet his future political destroy,-we
' commend his course as a dignified exe
cutive precedent.
As the leading topics of the message
are likely to enter into the Legislation
of the present session, we shall then
take occasion to discuss their merits;
more fully than our space will permit.
in this cursory glance at the Governor’s
Message, which, as a whole, we regard
a document of more than usual
merit, because it exhibits far more than
the usual degree of straightforward hon
esty of purpose.

gfT It is not offsie that we
1 ; notice editorially a patent medicine ; yet we feel
it a duty when w»* are convinced an article is
1 very meritorious to inform the public, that they,
too, may be benefitted by its use, and to prevent j
: them from using other articles that have no
j merit in them.
Now we wish particularly to recommend to
lour readers, DR. SANFORD’S LIVER INVIGO
| RATOR, as an article that has given benefit and
j performed cures, in our circle of acquaintance,
| that were little less than astonishing. It is par
ticularly recommended for all diseases of the j
! Liver, as it is a Liver InvigoraUrr. Especially }
among our own children have wo noted its ben
eficial effects, where the little sutrerers, from
bowel complaint, worms and other diseases in
f cidcnt to children, have been made quiet and
, perfectly cured by the use of this article. It lias j
testimonials that none can doubt, for the cure of
Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and such troubles as al
ways follow a deranged I.iver. A few’ such case
have come under our observation, where it
■ seemed almost to work miracles.
1 Our advice to families is not to lie without it,
I ns it will save many hours of pain by its speedy
i use when disease first makes its attack —Ala

: —HonesDALE Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850—Mr.
Seth V. Fowls.—Sir : You are at liberty to use
the following statement for the benefit of the as-
UiCted:
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ot
the grave. During my sickness 1 was attended
by three physicians in our place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended for such complaints, but they al
fbrded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may he relied upon
as strictly true. Bf.tsky Perkin.
The above certificate was given in the pre
sence of Dr. A. Strong, ot Honesdale, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.

it the heaviest, boiled cotton they ever raw. One
