GOVERNORS MESSAGE EXKCI'TIVK DEPAKTJ|E*V. Colun|i;ia, S. i.\, Nor.- I, 18.5'!. UiMhtwn of I he Seuaic ami flouse of R*prvi<ntatives: The object fryr which you wero recently convened hi exit, session has been determined. The popular voice has declared in "favor ?>f the party of our preference. The past admonishes us to reserve ttic full ! pleasure of our rejoicing to the day when (lie avowed policy of the party shall have been honestly carried out; when justice I shall he re-established, and tranquility be restored to the country. Then.indeed, will the viciorv be one worthy of the strongest demonstration whie.'.i patriotism can indulge. tSo far as the result Uiuy be regarded as a rebuke to that Xothern party, whose principle of cliocsion is luitred to the South, we ( share in the general satisfaction, Cunsid- | fred in relefcpro to l);e ijta.l j\stte between the North ana lliu South. I fpn? Unit it lyiJJ he a barren triiunpli ? that it will prove to be, at best, but a brief respite of feverish, exhausting excitement, destined to end in embittered feeling ami ?.istructcd counsel among ourselves. Slavery and l'Vcesoilism can never he reconciled. Ourcnciiiies have been defeated?not vanquished. A majori- , ty of the free States have declared against , the South, upon a purely sectional issue, and in the j^eiiunpdcr of ?J;eip, formidable Mi-nTit viuciiiicti lornpinry lllller llie s: mc banner.

The Southern States have never demanded more than euuality and so- , entity. They can not submit to less, and remain in the Union, without dishonor and pltimate ruin. The internal state of the commonwealth, ! over rvht'UO aiiiiirs you arc called to ilelilie- j rate, ;o;Jiihi??i a j?f?;ifyinjr conditio^ of gen- , ejfal prospyrjty ngd epiitvuliiivnj.

In?* 1 pressed with a sense of our mutual obliga- ' tious, and with hearts full < (' gratitude to j God, w o enter on the work of duty before us. In the performance of the part as.-.igncd to tue, 1 proceed to lay before you such in- j formation of |.|ie condition of the State, and to recommend Jo vpur po;isirJvnU;P" su.T. measures as j "judge iiepcgsarv or expedient." The profits of the bank of the State for tjie l ist year, amount to ?280.400.10, exceeding those of the previous vcar by ?7,418.48. During the fiscal year the public debt ! charged on the bank Ijns boctj reduced I $(>-1,340,78.

I refer you to tile report of the Comptroller tioiur.I tor a detailed statement of the. financial condition of the State. Since the first of October, 1855, the public debt bus pepn increased as follows: lly is-uic of bonds toeonsuqet Ne\y State ' House ?15">,000 : by subscription to lllitc i UM<Jo Railroad, $200,000.

As my term pf ofiice js about to expire, I feel no delicacy \o maKing certain recommendations in relation to the department. The salary of the Governor is wholly inadequate to the maintain* ape of the proper respectability and dign:iy of the station. I have nvoidtd all unnecessary expense ; I have indulged in no display whatever ; and from my experience, I have r.o hesitation in saying that no man ran dispense the quinary hospitality evjtcfted of hit ,, npr maintain that style which " V.f iwqple very properly associate vyitU the station, without drawing largely on lii.s piivale ineoiiic. The first ofliee in the gift of the people should not be one wJiieTi the /ealthy ouly can ntfWtl l<> accept. It is no answer to s iy, there is no want of aspi. mis for the position. Willing public ser' ants arc not generally the most ellicienU? Tlie republican standard of compensation for all public service, is that which will roinmaiid the talent that is able to serve llio commonwealth. It too often happens that hu who has giveu bis life to the public entails upon his faulty the incidents of a wasled lortiiue. I recoupment! that the. salary of the Governor bo increased to five thousand dollars ; and that he be rcquireJ io resident the eanital.

The Trustees uf the South Carolina Col lego, at their annual meeting In Pccclnhc last, elected Professor C. l'\ McCav, Prcsi | dent of the institution. His ability and r.t : taininents are considered by 'hose win i know hint to be of the higlitest order; am whom the prej idices which lie cncotinicrut ; at the very threshold of his adminislraliot , have been dispelled (if they have n?,t al ready been) there will iio bt\i one opiuioi as to li'.s titness for the position to wliiel he was called by a very decidcu majority o ' the Ho: rd, and that, too without the slight est soPcilutioii on his part. .Mr. Rivers, o ' Charleston, whose life lias been successful i ly devoted to classical pursuits, has beet i elected Piofessor of Greek l.iteiature. ii place of Dr. Henry, deceased ; and Dr. lai : Cunte, ol Georgia, a gentleman of well es ) establishy.,1 Sciiniiiic uttn'umerits. has beet [elected Professor of Natural and Mcchnui | eal Philosophy. Hollt these appointments I believe, are admitted on all hands to hav< been judicious and most fortunate fof tin institution.

It w ill he long before it w ill hav i the good fortune to rejoice in his equal. The conduct of the r|mlcn|s is fepyrte i to mc to be quiet and orderly. The faculf are assiduous in their several department , and tire future of the institution is as ci; eouraging as at any previous period of it ! existence. Thongli I was not educated n tlie College, 1 have seen and realize { its benefits to the State, socially, moral! and politically.
