LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
Mr.. Editor

Mr.. Editor:
The nomination Of Hon. ORANGE MERwIN TO the
ofc" Of Lieut. Governor by the friends of Henry CLAY
md the american $! stem. in the place Of Henry w.
Fdwar =. tic Jackson caucus canddn,e IL universally
acceptable I" the republicans Of this county. II is
well known thar this nomination, far from being
sought ny Mr.. Mrrwin, was wholly unexpected TO him
and his personal friends Retired priva,c life, hr
had not the least idea Of taking any other part with
respect I" public affairs than simply fulfil the duty
incumbent upon every citizen, to exercise properly
the right Of suffrage and Z" throw his influence aud
weight Of character into the scale in favor of sound
pr nciprs and c"rrcct government. But the friends
Of Mr. Clay having every 10 be much dissaiis
ed with II. w. Edwards during the lac, session Of the
Legislature IA Speaker Of the House Of Representa-
tves, (n which situation he manifested decided par
'iaIe- for Jacksonsm,) they became convinced that
some other candidate must be designated for the office
of Lieut.. Governor; and their attention having been
directed TO Mr.. Merwin, he was selected wit, great
unan;mity, and will he cordially supported ihroug hou,
the State. Unlike II. W. Edwards. Mr.. Merwin has
ever pursued uniform political course; ever steadily
adhered to the principles Of the American System
and ever firmly supported the champion Of tina, Sys
TEN, the distinguished Statesman Of the West. Umde'
such Giro umsancrs il is surprising that he should
have incurred the hostility "fthe Jackson party in this
| State, in'oerant and proscrpiive it is, who will
make every effort to defeat his election, and
| triumph to the aposfacy Of II. w. Edwards. Bot the
genuine republicans Of the state will rally in support
Of MIR. Merw", and with the necessary exertions can
give the integrity Of his character, the frmncss Of
his principles and the steadfastness Of his political
life decisive expression Of their appreciation The
election being hand. proper that the attention
Of the public should be drawn this and other sub
jecls Of great interest, with view TO the adoption Of
