 FsLlOU- CItisens :-The foregoing names have been brought before the public candidates for the offices to which they have been respectively desigDated.- The selections have been made in accordance with thc suggestions Ofan extensive correspOndence, which was adopted as g substitute for state cODteOuiOn, and which has beeH made tIse organ of distinct ex- pression of tire wishes of the republican electors in relation to this subject It is believed that u a,- teDdance at the polls will eVnce that the nomna,ioss are acceptable to grent majority of the people.
 The gentleman whose name stands at the head oi the Ticket has long been known to the psbiic as very industrious and ecen. member of Congress in both braaches oi which he has greatly dissins himself by the zeal, ability and 6rmness wiah which he has resisted iAe mad of the National Exec utiye, and mainianed the rights and libeEes of the People. Having been thoroughly trained in the Jeff ferson school oi politics. his conduct in every sua ton in life fully proves tla, DEMOCRACY is with him something more than name that t $ dsep-
 rooted principle. spri"gng ~p and producing the gSod

His demucraey is of very different sort from that modern fungus which has iaseDed upon the body polite in the shape of Jacksonisn,-a loathsome excrescence, which, # mot soon extirpaed, will ere long occasion the death of it's victim It is not that pharisaical democracy that voeerates its purity and superior sane,ity at the of the and upon the houee.tops that Janus faced demon, which, with a thoasand hands is constantly clutching at prey, and exclaming in the language of the horse-eech, " Give give ," Democracy has been, in SAMUEL A. FOOT, an abiding principle of patriotism, which has given a strong impetus to the whole current of his life in one direciion in striking with the devious course of many zig-zag politicians in modern times. He does not belong to that class of men who in Crom- wells day were called s walters upon Providence" and who are constantly feeling the pulse of public sentiment, that they may be prepared to dodge, as circumstances may require. The question with hi,n has been, what is my duty 2--an enlightened judg- ment has dictated the answer, aad with unffinching 6rmness he has coNformed the result. In the existing posture of public affairs, it s believed that he is well fitted to discharge the duties oi Chief Magis,ra,e.- Contrast his claims with the preiensioDs of the pres ent incumbent, who was elevated to thai higb station by the last Legislature contrary to ihe wishes of majority of the Electors. What has Gosernor Ed wards done make him worthy of the suppos, of the People What useful measure did he ever project, and by his influence carry through either the na.ion. al or state legislature? He has indeed written AP- PROVED" to barbarous law ordering the remains of tho unfortunate and frieDdless poor to be torn from their las. refuge, THE GRAVE and 10 be deliv. cred over subjects for tse dssecng knife! undes the preence of improving anatomical and medical science!! Is it by the accommodation of large for- tune during the late war by Means of lucrative of fee; by his habits of notorious incidence; by his cold, repUsve and arislocrac disposition and ,nan ners and by his political iergiversaton, first against and now for the administration; at nomen, advo. eating one system of measures land the next directly the reverse--vibratng like pendsam a"d exIib-

Is thus that this prince of weather cocks and precious en- sample of doIts can be successfully comue nded to the confidence and affections of an intelligent Peo. pie We trust that the friends of sound principle and correct government will assemble as one man at the pos and ensure the success of Mr. Foot by de. c'sive expression of the popular will; and thus give to public virtue and private worth an Msceudaucy which is necessary Co the preservation of free gov. ernment.
