ldefeated at the lat-selection .by a want of

lldoubts—und to prevent it similar recurrence

[of the Democratic party for Governor and;

lfit could be so, we would like to see:
I the next 41h of March convention campus-l
led entirely of men “ fresh from the ranks}

lNeither trading politicians nor hungry ofw

I uninslrurlcd—though not ignorant of the
feelings and wishes of their constituents.—
l.et them there consult together, fully and
unreservedly, Without fear, favor. or preju

harmoniously concurred in by every dis.
tricl. Candidates thus selected would bel
tsuslained by the largest majority ever giv
on to any candidate in the State. l
While “marrow ourselves the friend andl
advocate of the candidates—be they whom]
they may——»e may be permitted to say
that the much cherished one term principle’
has no chaims for us. If a public officer
disappoints the expectations of the people. l
let the people refuse him their euppori.l
and choose another ; but for the Democrat-l
ic party of Pennsylvania at this time to fl-l
dopt an ufil song got up by the “ bias in‘

ias a rule. provided they done their duty

ifor the people now to deride. is. has Gov.

to his party? and. can he be re alerted?
If he has, and if the convention upon
candid and serious rofleclion-—ltavingn full
ltnottledge of the wishes of the people in
all parts of the State before them-think
that he can again carrv us in triumph thro’
'suother contest with Federalism and its Vu»
rious cohorts. he should be nominated
without a dissenting voice, But success
should be our main object. All things
else. ‘(except principles and a regard for the
honor of the State) should yield to this im
portantconsiderstion. if a new man can
be selected upon whom a larger vote can
be concentrated, let such so one be select
ed, and we are sure that no part of the dc
mocraey of the State would more earnestly
support such a nominee than Gov. Shttnk
himself. Letsuch sentiments govern the
actions of all others in like manner, and all
will be well. Let the people take up the
subject in good earnest, and not the qflice.
