For the Wing,


Messrs. Editors: During the last session
of the Legislature several individuals were
announced as suitable candidates for the
next governor Of this state. Those individ-
uaIs, we are aware, stand high in the esli-
nation Of many, and some OF them fill the
first offices in the state But, however grea!
their claims may be to other stations, upon
due reflection, we think they must yield 10
those of our worthy and long tried public
servant, ROBERT K MCLAUGHLIN, for
the Office Of governor. In making this dec.
laralion we are guided by the purest and
most disinterested motives, save those which
must operate alike, the selection of capable
and efficient individual to fill that important
station. and we can with truth say that in the
various public Offices in which the people
have placed him, he has been their faithful
servant. Among our state treasurers who
have retired from Office, he alone stands I'M
corrupted. Among our representatives, none
have been more true to their constituents /;
and among our senators, none have advoca-
ted the peoples interest with more ability
and success. or with more Jealous devotion
to the interests of the state. He resides at
the seat Of government where the executive
business should be promptly attended to-;
aud if he should consent to become a can
didate, we believe the citizens of this state
will join with US in electing him to the office
of governor. MANY CITIZENS

Cumberland Road IN Hiinois.-The last
Advocate says:
"We understand that the work is going on in In
diana and Ohio; and the wonder is why it should
be suspended in Illinois. Let those who can an
swer this question, speak! The people want infor-
nation.
We cannot speak "with authority" like
him of the Advocate; YET we would re-
mind the judge, if he is not no7u aware of
it, that certain things occurred not long
since which rendered very proper, an in
vestigation into the manner in which the
work on ''thc Cumberland road IN Hi
nois" had heen executed; and that devel-
opponents since that investigation COM
meuced, have shown it necessary both for
the credit of those concerned and for the
benefit of "the people," for whose welfare
the Advocate manifests so deep All inter
est. Such an investigation cannot be
made in IA moment. Time is necessary
in investigating matter deemed of SO
much importance to the people.

THE MARKET,

Cash.-ln this all important and favor
lie article the usual scarcity continues
The demand is tremendous. Holders
very firm.
Dust.-Since the rains ceased, this ar
ticlc has risen considerably, aud is in live
~ circulation.
Mud There is still plentiful supply
in some quarters, and it is supposed the
city will retain the present stock, as very
little is taken up for expectation. Some
near sighted spectators are SAID to have
dipped very deeply into this article.
Uhishey.-A most animated retail bust
ness continues, purchasers take up the
article with great aydity. There is AN
inquiry for city consumption, and though
the holders are by no means finn, but for
the most give way when pressed, yet the
demand rises as the article goes down.
Coughs and Colds.-The stock has d.
Unfinished since the weather became set
tied; and as in cases holders have been
well disposed to part with all they had,
the article has gone off freely. In what
has been long on hand, there is IA tenden-
cy TO a decline.
Cheese.-Great animation in the old
stock, and as season advances, some indi-
cations of activity in the new.
Ice Creams.-The early part of the
season was too cool for ice, but as it grows
warm considerable quantities are frozen.
Dens.- Very plentiful; but there is
not good feeling towards them in the
market, though receipts are offered with
them gratis, they are taken up with great
reluctance.

We invite attention TO communication
in another column, recommending our
fellow townsman, r. K. MCLAUGHLIN,
Esq. as proper person to be supported
for governor. Our correspondents rest
the claims Of their favorite candidate on
a very proper basis ability and integrity
in public service. Of these qualih-
cations, the people, to whom all candid
ates must appeal, we doubt not are well
prepared to judge, and will look favora-
bly, upon the pretensions of any person
who comes before them, recommended by
such encouraging evidences of fitness for
office.
The Shouneetoun Journal concludes an
article in reply to IA remark made in the
Wing some time since, with the following
paragraph:
"The editors of the Wing will please send us a
paper when they attack us again. Their remarks
were seen by mere accident, there being no Wing
received at our Office this week."
Comment.- The gentlemen of the Jour
nal are mistaken in asserting thai we COM
menced an attack upon them. If their
memories are not treacherous they can ca
silly correct the mistake. If it was by ac-
cident that they received the Wing Of the
9Th, il is such an accident as occurs, doubt
less, every week. 1t accidentally hap
pens that our uncle's mail goes south
ward once in seven days, and takes a
Wing along 10 all our subscribers and
exchange patrons.
