 no proviso
with reference to the service of the United States. I mention this
as it bears with some strength on the question of the right of
secession, and indicates the jealousy of the individual States
with reference to the Federal Government. The Governor can convene
extra Sessions of one House or of both. He makes a message to the
legislature when it meets,--a sort of Queen's speech; and he receives
for his services a compensation, to be established by law. In New
York this amounts to L800 a year. In some States this is as low as
L200 and L300. In Virginia it is L1000. In California L1200.

The Governor can pardon, except in cases of treason. He has also a
veto upon all bills sent up by the legislature. If he exercise this
veto he returns the bill to the legislature with his reasons for so
doing. If the bill on reconsideration by the Houses be again passed
by a majority of two thirds in each House, it becomes law in spite
of the Governor's veto. The veto of the President at Washington is
of the same nature. Such are the powers of the Governor. But though
they are very full, the Governor of each State does not practically
exercise any great political power, nor is he, even politically, a
great man. You might live in a State during the whole term of his
government and hardly hear of him. There is vested in him by the
language of the constitution a much wider power than that intrusted
to the Governors of our colonies. But in our colonies everybody
talks, and thinks, and knows about the Governor. As far as the limits
of the colony the Governor is a great man. But this is not the case
with reference to the Governors in the different States.

The next article provides that the Governor's ministers, viz., the
Secretary of State, the Comptroller, Treasurer, and Attorney-General,
shall be chosen every two years at a general election. In
this respect the State constitution differs from that of the
national constitution. The President at Washington names his own
ministers,--subject to the approbation of the Senate. He makes
many other appointments with the same limitation. As regards these
nominations in general, the Senate, I believe, is not slow to
interfere; but with reference to the ministers it

 they are very full, the Governor of each State does not practically 
 exercise any great political power, nor is he, even politically, a 
 big man. You might live in a State during the whole term of his 
 government and hardly hear of him. There is vested in him by the 
 speech of the constitution a much wide power than that intrusted
