The Daily Dispatch: January 8, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
The Governor's Message. We surrender much of our space to the Message of the Governor of the Commonwealth, which treats at length, and with characteristic ability, of the great questions which now agitate the public mind. It will be seen that Gov. Letcher, who proposed a year ago a National Convention, is still in favor of that comedy, and also of sending Commissioners to the various States, except those of New England; sees no necessity at this time for a State Convention; believes in the right of secession, and is opposed to coercion. His views in behalf of a Central State Confederacy are also set forth. Whatever opinion may be entertained of the sentiments and recommendations of the Message, all will cheerfully acknowledge the sincerity and patriotism of the distinguished source from which they proceed.

James River and Kanawha Company. Gov. Letcher, in his Message, recommends to the favorable attention of the Legislature the contract entered into by the James River and Kanawha Company with Monsieur Bellot Des Minieres, Brothers & Co., for the sale of the canal. Assurances which the Governor has received induce the confident belief in his mind that M. De Minieres, who is expected here in a short time, will come prepared to execute the contract on his part. It is a significant fact that, of the fifty-four pamphlet pages of the Executive Message, only one is occupied by this subject, which led originally to the call for an extra session of the Legislature, so rapid and overshadowing has been the march since then of events which involve the vital interests of the Republic.

unanticipated occurrences that an hour or a day may bring forth. We must meet them as they arise, and our opinions and actions must be controlled by our judgment of the requirements of the occasion. Whatever duty to the State demands, must be done and to do it effectually we must throw away all pride of opinion and of consistency. White we can have no idea of what the future will develop, it is the part of wisdom to prepare for the worst. In a military point of view, our State is perhaps better prepared than any other, but to place her on a safe footing, much remains to be done. That your action may be guided and controlled by wisdom and patriotism; that your proceedings may be conducted in a spirit of harmony and conciliation; that the honor, the rights and the institutions of this Commonwealth may be vindicated, protected and preserved, and that our common country may be relieved from the horrors of threatens anarchy and civil strife, is my earnest wish. John Letcher.
