TO THE PEOPLE OF MISSISSIPPI. ExncuTrvF. Chamber, Jackson, Feb. 3,1851 In November, 1949, I was elected by you free suffrages, Governor of this State. M y tern of office commenced with my inauguration or on the 10th of January, 1850. By the provis ions of the Constitution; it will expire on tlx 10th January. 1852. In the middle of my tern of office, and-in the active discharge of its duties, I am to-day' arrested by*the United Statei Marshal of the Southern Distinct of Mississipp hv virtue of process, originating out of charge! exhibited against me in the District Court of tin United States, for the Eastern District of Loui siana, for an alleged violation of the neutrality law of 1818, hjfcbeginning, setting on foot ant furnishing th^rffeans for a military expeditior Against tliefSTand of Cuha. Under these charges, the Marshal isdirectet to arrest me, und to remove my person to the city of New Orleans, tftere to be tiiod for thesi alleged offences. Unconscious of having, in any respect viola ted the laws of the country : ready at all times to meet any charge that might be exhibitec against me, I have only been anxious, in this extraordinary emergency, to follow the path ol duty. As a citizen, it was plain and clear, 1 must yield "to the law, however oppressive or unjust in my case; but, as Chief Magistrate ol sovereign State, I had also in charge her dignity her honor, and her sovereignty, whicii I could not permit to be violated in my person. Re tUstance by the organized force of the State, while the federal Administration is in the hand; of men who appear to seek some occasion to test the strength of that government, would re flult in violent contests, much to bo dreaded in the | jresent critical condition of the country, liie whole South, patient,as she is under em croachments, will look with some jealowy upon the employment of military force to remove - J?.'k..? flnnomnr from ttio i11riSflition ofhit a WIIWIC1U VUTCi IIW? IIVIW W..W J~. ? State, when it had been withheld from her citizens seeking to reclaim a fugitive slave in Mass On the other hand, the arrest and forcibly removal from the State, of her Chief Executive Magistrate, for an indefinite period of time would not only he a degradation of her Sovereignty, but must occasion incalculable injury and disaster to the interests of the State, by the entire suspension of the Executive Junctions oi her government. The Constitution has nol contemplated such an event as the forcible abduction of the Governor^ It has not provided for the performance of his duties by anothei officer, except in case of ar puconcy. Sucb vacancy cannot happen while there is a Governor,'though he be a prisoner t<va foreign power. Although he may he absent, and incapable of performing his duties, be is. still Governor, and no other person can execute his office. It follows, therefore, that in such Case, the State would practically apffer some of the evils v of anarchy. The pard#oin&$ower would be lost Officers could not bd copuuissiooed at qualified; the Great jSuaLof the State oould nol be nsed; vacancies in offiee could not beffilled fugitives from justice eould notbe reclaimed 01 surrendered; the public vforks.lhe'ojjerations ol the Penitentiary, and all repairs of public build ings must stop for wantof legal requi^tions to defray tl?e expenses thereof, 'lite sale of Stab lauds, and 4the location of recent grants mus f>e suspended. f The Convention of the people, * called at th< last session of the Legislature, could not as_ Semble for want of writs of election. >Jn\:as< A of the death or resignation of the administra . tire officers oi tne stale uovemmem, uieau ku portant offices, including the treasury, would b< >-v?, loft without the superintendence or care of anj i**3* authorised person. In flue the whole Govern roent of the State would bo in contusion ant great inconvenience, and perhaps irreparable Injury flow from such a state of things. For al these evils there is hut one remedy. That rem edy is my resignation. i therefore, fellow-citizens, now resign tin high trust confided to my hands, wi& no feel iag of personal regret, except' that I could no serve you better; with no feeling of shame, fo I am innocent of the causes which have inducet the necessity of tliis step. On the .contrary although personally I lear no investigation am shun no scrutiny, 1 have spared no efforts con sistent with self-respect to avert this resultSo soon as I learned that attempts would b< made, under an act of Congress of the last con tary, to remove me from this State. I formall offered to the proper auihoritics of the U. State any pledge ol security to appear in New Orlcau and meet the charges agaiust me, so soon a my term of oflico should expire : and 1 remon strate against the indignity thus about to be oi ferred, not to myself, hut to the State, in drag ging away from his duties, her Chief .Magistrate My proposition was not accepted, and mj remonstrance not heeded. It is not for me to complain. You are tin aggrieved party. My course in this matto meets the approval of some of the most patri otic citizens near me. 1 sincerely hope, as i was dictated alone by my sense ol duty to th State, it may meet the approbation of my fel low-citizens. In thus parting from my generous constitu ents, it would be proper to give them an ac I I ,1 l.i count ot my stewarasnip uunng me suori ou the'titiicial connection between us has been s summarily and unexpectedly severed, that most defer the grateful task to a future day. 1 bave but to add that, during my short bu exciting period of service, I have in all thing striven to be laithful and true to the rights, tli interests, and the honor of the State. For this I bave been abused and calumniated by th enemies of the Scuth. Treachery and faitli fnlness would have secured favor and prais from the same sources. Fellow-citizens, 1 now take my leave of yo with gratitude for the generous support yo have extended to me,, and with cheering cor fidence that your honor and your interests ma be safely contided to the hands of the fait! ful and able son of Mississippi, who, ob Pics dent of the Senate, succeeds to my place.
