LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

The farmers and other industrious classes should
give Il strong support to the Hon. ORANGE MEKwIN
for the office ofLieuienant Governor. 1t is important
that individuals from these classes should! he introduce
ed into every part Of the government. They under-
stand better than others the interests, wishes anil
feelings OF the People, AND especially abOrious Peo-'
pie, who in this country of enterprise aud industry con-
stitue the great bulk Of our population. As the Office
Of Governor is TO be conferred upon professional
n,whyis it not rgh. to give to an intelligent Farmer
the Office Of Lieutenant Governor, to the duties Of
which lie is entirely competent 1t is not reco-ct,
that Farmer has held The Office of Governor orr
Lieutenant Governor in this S,,e certainly not for
many lears b" "ow fair opportunity is presented to-
vindcae the claims of ,ha, highly respectable portion
Of the Electors, justly styled the one and muscle Of
The community. Is nor Mr.. Merwin man of correct,
principles, and Of sound practical good seusc-f and
will he not faithfully perform the duties Of the Office
for which he is designated? An appeal to his public
and private life must be conclusive in his favor. And
who is his competor?-A man whose brow was ne
yer mois:ened with the ca, by which mos, people
are compelled 10 earn their bread-a man whose hand
was never hardened Ivy the implements Of the Lus-.
bandnan or the artifcer, an.i whose face was never
bronzed by the xposures Of an active life-who has,
live! d"'iTate'y il. city, aud entirely removed from
the orlinar! Of luxurious people. At an eas
ly period he hetook himself the public crib on, oE
which he fed until lie accumulated large fortune by
The emoluments ofoce. Now he has become super
fine patriot and jackson man,, great lover the
dear eopie-while lie wosA shrink from contact itly

ton itself. Will not then Fa,mer and Mechanics
friendly TO the election Of Henry Clay to the Presi-
dcncy Of the United States, do ,h-ir duty Let tbs,
patriotic phalanx with unyeIding 6rmness MARCH

which l pursued, one small prairie, skirted with
the finest timber, and covered with aprofesion of
beautiful flowers. succeeded another; and the
eye was continually refreshed with the graceful
stream and its clear waters. The richness of
the grass, the beauty of the forest, the mildness

chantment of the whole scene, induced me TO
linger for time in the wilderness.

Here and there, the bleached skull of some noble

of the temporary breastwork, thrown up after the
battle, and have since been scattered over the
field. At an angle of the encampment, and
where the carnage had been greatest, was slight
