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.

i in the Senate till March 4th. t0
3 The Secretary instructed him either to present ch
? it to the Senate or hand it to Mr. Rantoul on gei
. his arrival at the s'-at of Government. Mr. R. pri
not having arrived, he was unwilling to retain
1 his seat by the act of his own discretion, ffe },.,
! therefore presented the credentials, thereby uu- (jn
derstanding that, according to the report of the 0j,
1' judiciary Committee, the office of the sitting ve

; j .Mr. Clay raised the question of privilege, and j tj
urged the right of Mr. Winthrop to retain his gj(

acceptance. je5

Mr. Davis, of Mass., followed in opposition, 0j(

Mr. Rhett contended that the senators ap- gt,

no right to seats after the meeting of the legisla.

Mr. Clay repli d, contending that no elec- en

i cepted the office. There being no evidence tj(J'
. that Mr. Rantoul had accepted the office, he jn
urged that M. Winthrop's right continued. j?

My Dear Sir: "

r The impression is generally entertained here 10
j that if South Corolina determines to secede j*"
alone (as 1 suppose she will wituout doubt do) *
j that neither the President or Congress will attempt
to coerce her. They apprehend if a
collision ensues, that the whole South will at 0
} once espouse tlMLcause of South Carolina, aud ar
that a general "disruption of the Confederacy ^
would then be ineviluole. Many of the North- '
s em and Western men say, they will allow us
s to go peaceably, and that in the course of a
6 low years, wo will be knocking at the door for m
re-admission. 1 tell them, that when we oiler 01
_ to return, tliey will bo glad to receive us. The fn
politicians here, are much puzzled atthe refrao- J'1
