man in the capacity of Chief Magistrate, be
has too much regard for that honor and vel
fare-he IS too well acquainted with the spir-
| Il OF our Constitution, 10 refuse to CO operate
10 the execution Of its provisions, in that
sphere TO which the people shall call bin.
| He would, we believe, be the last man 10 set
up his private wishes or convenience against
nifty.
1t will be asked perhaps, why vote for
Judge Whitman, who does not want the Office,
when Governor Paris and others stand ready
TO accept it .pyiully? We answer, because
we consider him the llttest man for that Office.
We are not guided by personal or party con-
siderations if we were, we should consult
Mr.. Whiimans wishes in preference 10 the
interests Of the State. But we do desire TO
see man at the head of government who il
worthy Of the station and who will redeem
the character OF the State.
live are asked, why We are opposed to
the reelection OF Gov Paris we answer dis
tnctly, because we consider his admins
lrati0n founded upon wrong principles-be-
cause his hrst election was procured by unwor-
thy means, by sordid combination Of Office
seekers, and ofhce-glvers, who for their own
private ends attempted 10 control the will Of
the people because 10 short, he was fosted
upon the State by well known Junto, instead
OF being freely chosen by the unbiased judy
ment OF the Electors. These are some Of
our objections TO the re election OF Mr Paris
But we have Others OF equal weight. We OBJ
Ject 10 hls being reelected, because he has
not been this year the real Governor, nor
viii he next year, II re elected. In the words
OF Burke There is power behind the throne
greater than the throne ilselt'-a secret Jun
70, OF which the nominal Governor is only the
othcial instrument, and whose DEGREES he dare
not dIsobey. il is not surprising perhaps that
young men like Mr.. Paris, should not pos
sess independence Of character sufficient TO
resist the influence of friendly demsgogues who
helped him TO the Office. Blu, il is sufficient
reason in our opinion for not voting for him,
especially when such man as Judge Whit
man can be obtained, whose weight Of char
acter and knowledge of public business will
be sufficient guaranty or an able, Impair
tiai and independent administration.
But az we said before, il is not on party
considerations that we recommend Mr.. Whit.
man for the Office Of Chief Magistrate. If a.
mother gentleman equally qualified, lei him be-
long TO whatever party he may, can be select
ed, we would readily give him our sufrage.
Otherwise we shall feel i, our duty 10 vote
for Mr.. WHITMAN and we invite every indie
pendent elector to do The same, if upon can
did reflection and enquiry he thinks, as we
do, that he is the most suitable man for that
important Office.

From Tie HalloweH Gaseite.

From Tie HailoWeU Gazette.
The annual election OF Legislative and Ex-
ecutive officers for this State being no, far
distant, we wish to draw the attention of our
readers and OF all good citizens to the import
ant duties which the occasion devoIves upon
Ihem--of performing their part in the self gov-
ernmcnt which IS recognized and secured 10
the people by our constitution. We are a.
ware that il is the language Of some, and the
practice OF many, that things will so on well
enough without their aid-,hsi their influence
or example is not called for nor needed. This
doctrine is SO congenal 10 the indoeuce OF
most people, that we are sorry to observe it
too often gets The better of their patriotism.
People of this way of thinking and acting
ought 10 reflect that our Constitution, and in
deed our whole system of Government, Is
founded upon the supPosiIion of the active
support and co operation Of every member Of
The community. The Constitution eujoins il
as duty Oh every citizen qualified as therein
mentioned 10 exercise the right Of suffrage in
selecting Chef Magistrate and other State
officers. How then can any person, who
rightly understands and values the blessings OF
our free republican government, neglect the
highest duty OF republican citizen, and a.
bandon The government Of the Slate TO small
number OF interested and selfish individuals
We make these remarks with the more
eamestness at this time, on account Of the
nomination which we publish this week for the
Office OF Chief Magistrate, of gentleman Of
high standing nithetesteem Of bis fellow-cti-
zeDs, who now ably fills an important station,
as be has done many others equally important,
and whose talents and qualifications are fully
ADEQUATE 10 the highest office in the State.

which devolve upon This station. The graft
tudc which owe to the representatives OF the
people, impose upon me the agreeable obIiga-
ton TO continue my services, to defend with
my fortune, my blood, and my honor, this
constitution, which contains the rights of two
people, united in brotherhood by liberty, for
their common good and glory The union of
Colombia coniunctly with independence, will
compose the altar, upon which am ready to
offer up every sacrifice for this constitution
will march to the extFemites of Colombia,
to break the chains ofthe children of our new
world beneath the equator, and to offer TO
them the open arms and good faith of Colon
bia when they shall be free TO act.
| expect, Sir, that you will authorize me, to
invite by the relations of benifceDce, two ma
tons whom nature, and heaven have given us
as brethren accomplish this work Of your
providence by my zeal, and nothing hut peace
is required to give to all Colombia prosperity,
tranquility, and glory.

the people themselves, shall from their free

tune has placed me in this station, and success

are not titles, always cOnsecrated by Justice,
prosperity, and fine national will. The sword
which hath governed Colombia is not the ba-
lance Of Astrea hut an evil germs which somr-
times, heaven permits To- visit the earth, for
! the chastsement oftyrants, and To- give warn

of any service, on the day that peace is esta-
blished, and that day ought 10 be the last Of my

cannot be secure, when the people are uot II

IN receiving this evidence of your military
Efforts and virtues, have directed me to repeat
tie you The thanks and SINCERE cOngratuation
which | had the satisfaction To notice in my
note OF the 18th instant. You have fulfilled
the expectations and confidence ,reposed in
you. You have added new titles to those YOU
already had on the gratitude of the govern
ment of the republic, and to public esteem,
By the lnestmable acquisition of the important
fortress on the coast. The army which, under
your command, has experienced so many pri-
vatiohs and atiSues in a prOiracted siege, and
which have overcome all those obstacles, me-
| rIt equally the applause and esteem ofthe go-
verDmcnt. Be pleased to render to that gal
LIANT army in their name, and in that Of the
republic their thanks and | request you will
be pleased To- designate such officers and SOL
dlcrs OF that gallant army, such as you shall
consider as entitled prc-eminently to such
promotion in every grade, as their conduct
may merit; more particularly those who shall
have been distinguished by their zeal, courage
and cOnstancy. The captain Juan Castro
who has been promoted TO the rank of lieut.

J be the same who took them from the autho
lrity of Spain,.i will be preserved with the
same glorious distinction by which it was ac-
! qtdrcd, and neither Spain nor any other To-
