THE "➢IUD SILLS.i "";
The speech of Senator Hammon(tin which

'As' n speMmen of fulsome flattery,' we make
the following extract, froth au art.iclo on this
subject, in the Herald of the 7th inst. hear

MEI
*. It.is but sol4om—never we may remark,
,t
that 'any Administration has ever eingfa,
which has, from the commencement of its ca=
reer; called forth such unanimous admiration
and applause as that 'of 'Gov. Packer. All
parties.concede the wisdom of his actions., the
justness of his views, and the boldnestPerhis
'conduct. Wit haat regard to party feeling, the
people of the,Stabiltve,expresised, in unquali
fied terms, their approval of. tile course of
Gov. Packer as a Chief .111aglstrate,—and
just and liberal study of all the acts of our
present Chief Executive eannot'fail to bring
from every individual 'a frank and free ex
pression of the wise ,manner in .which the
reins of power have been administered by the
man ivhoni the people chose, at a trying time,
by nn almost unparalleled majority, to, govern
theta."
Now, we are ready to..adthit, that. Generht
Packer makes a very paesable Governor ;•-,-
na_bater tlign Pollock,.and certairdfno'Avorsti
than piglet:: .But'in this section of the State,
t . lee nothing - of that , " unanimous admira
timt applause" which the administration
of Mr Packer littO'called north." There i§ not
a ripple on the Atirfiice of Popubir
The sun rises - and eels—tile 111160 n waxes and
wanes—and the trees bud and blossoM 'in
their season, ust as if G,en. Packer was "prps
pecting" for lumber 'on tiie lie n s( Brunch, and
somebody else was Giwernor of the State.
. We consider Governor Packer a well-mean
ing man, with Sufficient State pride to guard_
and cherish the interests of our gloriouS old
Commonweidth,. and ability enough to steer
the ship of Suite as safely through breakers,
as any of his predecessors : but any effort to
claim: . more than this, must give rise to the
suspicion, either that the man is not equal to
• the station he occupies, or that "the organ"
is suspected of infidelity, to the alnistration.
The practice of glorifying tNeml,y
• gavel ed- 0 overnor, s an old peliticaViodge.
too well understood by the paple now to in
duce them to believe that aZure dwarllld a
whole generation to make one Gen. Packer ;
and we are much mistaken in our estimate
that geritleman's good sense, if he is not ut-.
terly disgusted at such a palpable exhibitiiM
of toadyism'.

by the Legislature at the lost session, ehang,

bills not. approved" during " the first ten
days after nil adjournment of the Legishit ore,
may be considered as awaiting The next meet
ing of the General Assembly, to be . returned
with the Executive disapproval," he hits:
- thought proper. to depart from it in this case,
