Event Details
A New York paper intimated that William Lee, Esq. has received the appointment of Governor of the Mississippi (Alabama) Territory, but this is incorrect. The Territory of Alabama will not receive a separate government until the new state of Mississippi accepts the terms of admission offered by Congress and formally becomes a member of the Union. It is obvious that no Territorial officers will be appointed for Alabama prior to that event.
