Laws of the United States, ffndm'aUd' that he is opposed to all centralization of power in the General Government. To accomplish the ro unoin of the States ' THE rnESIDKST DBFIRKB 1 th<< Southern people to accept the abolition " of fclnvery as ono of the rinal results of the - war. Undor the war-making power the y Military "authorities, have abolished slavery in the seceded Slates, and the oath which has been taken to support all laws and proclamations in refereuce to the abolition - of shivery makes it incumbent upon llic I members of the Convention to abolish r slavery in the amended Constitution. So great and sudden a change mu>t produce > dissatisfaction, idleness and confusion, but in the opinion of the Governor, the evil i will be temnorarr. * ' ' tllf message recommends " a reformation of the State Constitution in i several particulars. Tho Parish xepresenI tation in the Senate is un? q?al' And unjust, . and now that slavery is abohsbrd, a rofor mition ia imperalivo.

The message recommends feho election of Governor by the people,the increase of his power, that he be re-eligible or elected for a loftger term than two year*, that he be roqtiired to live at ihe;searof Government, and should receive a salary sufficient to pay . all expei ses. ~ , It is recommended that most of theeleci tions and appointments now made by the , Legislature be taken from thetn, and the , power of appointment given ta the Gov. ernor with the advice and consent of the i Senate. In all elections by the Legislature,/viva i voce voting is recommended, that the mem. ber'e constituents may know bow bo voted. Ttie*Mewage reccommends the consoli ) dation of the,Treasury Department; that the Secretary of State and Surveyor General keep their offices only afc the seat of Gov.-mment, and that the Court of Ap* 1 peal* meet only in Columbia. P As it is important that THE SOUTH SHOULD BR MPBMtllTtn U in the next Cbngrws the Convention should r provide tor the election of members at en I early day.
