So we should rather like to havo it on- leMnud that we don't complain, moro espe- c idly as if w e did we should be open to the iiiNiiisntiou or croaking against the Croak ers, who are really not worth the music.

The Gov ernor'a reply was that he ie litwd il to be a xtimitj un eutr. The member, in utter sur prise, asked him to state his reasons for this strange belief. The Governor said that therii were elements enough still exist ing to hold the Union together; that the nl itions of these elements to each other were of a character so strong and abiding as to render their severance next to iuipos- ible, The Union was, he said, growing too fast, nnd a temporary check or difficul ty, sueh as the present agitation seems to resent, was inevitable; but he believed tint in ten years the Union would he stronger and moro consolidated than it ever has been " Tlie Governor also condemned the folly of getting np "an agitation in Congress upon tlie little contemptible issuo of He!- p r's book;" and as for affecting commerce between the States, this, he said, was osuft- yel Jar Cuiigrtu to deal villi."
