Excerpt from Address of the Whig Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of Massachusetts, to Their Constituents: Occasioned by the Inaugural Address of His Excellency Marcus Morton The Whig Members of the Legislature of Massachusetts feel that a tice of some of the statements set forth in the recent Address of His Excellency the Goverr is due to themselves, to their constituents, and to the public. In speaking of this document they would treat it with the respect due to the official station occupied by His Excellency - but at the same time, with the boldness that becomes freemen in speaking to one who, in their opinion, is using the influence of his high office for the furtherance of party purposes; who is disparaging our free institutions, - impugning the credit and hor of the State, and endeavoring to exalt himself under cover of unfounded statements regarding the measures of his predecessors. The address resembles that issued three years since, by His Excellency, both in the topics it tices, and in those it omits. Like that, it declaims against our government, and makes vague and uncertain promises of reform, and is t wanting in an ostentatious parade of political, moral and religious truisms. It also, like that, avoids any tice of most of the great interests of our Commonwealth - its fisheries - its public lands - its manufactures - its commerce. On these, and kindred subjects, information is given respecting their present condition - suggestions for their future advancement. No allusion is made to the great question recently settled between the government of the United States and that of Great Britain, in which the pecuniary interest, and the public hor of this Commonwealth, is deeply involved. The Massachusetts claim is w before Congress, yet with all the discussion of the finances, hint is given of its existence, or its prospects. The rights of slaves, and the claims of slaveholders in relation to fugitive slaves in this Commonwealth, is a subject which has of late been considered with deep interest throughout the country; and it was hoped we might have been favored with His Excellency's opinions respecting it. Here again we are disappointed. On topics of public interest, where opinions differ, and on which the public looked for His Excellency's views, a rigid silence is maintained. On those which might be available for the creation of political capital, eloquence is t spared. Allusions to the differences of condition, which are a necessary result of the constitution of man - sinister remarks on the motives and acts of predecessors - the most common-place moral sentiments, and universally admitted principles of government, - put forth as if they were the peculiar discoveries and exclusive property of His Excellency, and his political friends, of all this there is eugh to make one regret, that when His Excellency became the head of the State, he did t feel it his duty to remember that he was longer only the chief of his party. On some of the topics there can be difference of opinion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
