His honesty and integrity aro unimpeaclied, and his great abiliios to administer aright iho affairs of (he Slate, have been acknowledged by eminent and experienced men both In this and other Stales. He has checked by a Judicious use of the veto power, hasty and corrupt legislation, and by hia firmness prevented (he chartering <•( a host of banks and other Irres ponsible corporations. The wisdom of his course h is been appreciated by (he people, and his conduct commended by them in their primary meetings. Hia official acts have been approved and endorsed by Democratic County Conventions in various parts of the Slate, and we have yet to hear the first word urged against him from a genuine democratic source. Fur honesty of purpose and purity of char acter, Gov. Oiolkd enj *ys an enviable reputation, and so satisfactory to the people has been his ad ministration, that it has frequently been compared with ihat of the truly honest and democratic one of Simon Sktokb. For these reasons, we shall not fail to urge upon every proper occasion, the re-nomination of Gov. Oiolcr, and, when nominated, give biro our hearty and active support. A Speck of War, The citizens of Erie, in Pennsylvania, are in a state of great excitement on account of a proposl (ion lfX.jhe Lake Shore Railroad Company to change the gauge at tbal.placo, so that the present delay and inconvenience arising from different gauges may be avoided. The alteration is about to be made under ihe authority of an act of the last Pennsylvania legislature; but Ihe people of Erie are determined to resist the change “at all hazards and to the last extremity. 11 They held a meeting on the 19th ult., and passed resolutions which, the Putt e-ays, 44 amount to rank nullifica tion, and are likely to lead, to open war. 11 They say (he law was procured by bribery and corrup tion, and is not binding on (hem. They are de- termined to tear up the railroad at all points where it cuosses die streets of the city of Erie. The city council met the same evening 1 , and ordered the bitfh nAMIaKU in Imp ttie duty of every citizen to aid in tit® work when called on, under a penalty of five dollars, and lin* posing a penally of $lOO for resisting the order. Truly, they have stirring limes in Erie. We hope the mailer will be settled without bloodshed ! I. O. of O. E.

Franck and Russia. —The N, York Ilernld . in the course of an article on the policy of England and France, says:—“To ask them to ao knowledge that they have been all along in the wrong, and to require them to recede from their position, id to suggest that they should stultify themselves in the sight of all Europe. It is to demand of them a forma! act recognizing their inferiority to Russia, and their readiness to receive | from the Czar any terms which he may please to i dictate. Compliance with such a request, urged j li n such a tone, and al such a crisis, would over*' throw at a blow the edifice which the skill of En glish, French and Austrian diplomatists have spent ■he last forty years In erecting, and would lake rank in history as (ho first unequivocal token of the decline of tho VVeatern Powers.” Deskrtion. —The Brunswick Reformer says— it is reporud at Head Quarters that Met Majesty’s troops are about to be removed from this province. Among other causes which have led tho British Government to entertain the idea of adopting this step, is, it is said, the increasing frequency of de sertion, and the alleged disposition of provincial jets to aid tho escape of deserters. That many such persons should be found in New Brunswick, in the home.of the Loyalists, is almost incredible. Still it is almost impossible, that eleven men, and they strangers, could have made their way from Predericklon to Houlion without the assistance or at leastconoivonce of some persons resident in the oountr] New Yokk Cloth Tradk.— Woollens are selling in New \ork freely si an advance of SO a 25 per cenl. over prices at the corresponding period of isitj year, owing mainly (o the enhanced rales of the raw material, dye stuffs, and labor.
