OUR TICKET.

OUR TICKET.
1t is with pleasure that we again insert at the
head Of columns the able, we'll tried and GAL
ways faithful ticket for State Officers for the con-
sideration OF the freemen of the State. The una
nimity with which il was agreed upon by the Con
venton betokens the general favor by which it will
be received by those of our friends who were not
present. All seemed TO say ofthe old ticket, "they
have proved themselves good servants, faithful to
the interests Of the people, competent in every re-
spect TO the stations they have occupied, and why
should it be clanged?" With such feeling among
the people, it was wise, judcious and in accord
ance with the principles of true democracy, that
the old ticket should be put in nomination.
Gov JENIsoN, Hs most people are aware, is
plain republican farmer, distinguished for sound
common sense, with good share of intelligence,
modest in his demeanor, and free and social with
all who come in contact with him. lie seldom errs
in judgment; is cautious and prudent, more liable
to fail in acts OF omission than commission; but
when ne discovers the right, he fails not to pursue
it with frmncss and decision lie is not urisocratic
in his notions, hut his sympathies are with those
who, like himself, obtain their bread by the sweat
Of their brows. AS such Wow him as the right
man TO govern working, agricultural State, like
Vermont. He is not a farmer of the Smile sort,
cabbages and with hower-bed for the ladies'; but
he has his broad fields, his corn, his wheat and
potatoes, and plants and reaps them with his own
hands. Give such man for Governor Of the
proud Commonwealth OF Vermont.
LIT. Gov. CAMPs duties are much less than those
pertaining to the Office of Governor; but Vermont
has the credit abroad of putting into the chair of
her Senate for the last few years, an able and dig
nified presiding offcer-one who would sustain the
chair Of any public body in the Union Let
then, say we, be faithful to him who is faithful TO
the people in the discharge of his public duties.-
Gov. c. once active member of the legal
profession, but has now, we believe, pretty much
abandoned the practice Of law, and turned his at
tcntlon 10 agricultural pursuits. His legal attain
mens will be of service to the State, as member
of the State Cabinet.
| TREASURER JAMES has held the Office for which
he is nominated one year. and discharged with fl
| deity its duties. No man, to our knowledge has
had Occasion for complaint; but candid of all
parties agree, as to his ability and peculiar quallf-
cations for the Office The place requires that it
should be occupied by an honest man-and one
more strictly honest than Mr. James is not to be
found in the Mountain State. He is not even scent
cd with Sub Troasuryism-not particle of Swart-
won't blood runs in his veins lie then is Just the
man we want for Treasurer. He too, is of the
Cincinnatus prolession-follows the plough in
ploughlng times, and pays the bills against the
State, when properly vouched, and presented.
This, freemen Of Vermont is the ticket which
the Democratic Wing Convention presents for the
Offices of Governor, Lit Governor and State Treas
urer. There is not, confess, much of the rufie
shirt gentility about it, that would favorably
commend it 10 the money changers that surround the
| ENGLISH nd ,,f Won
Buren,. But it combines talents, integrity aud re-
publican simplicity, with enough of common sense
to crush TO the ground Martins English Coach and
the occupant beneath it; and we believe no better
ticket could be selected from the whole State-one
the individuals of which would consult to a greater
extent the interests Of the whole people, and ACT
accordingly, without reference to party predilec
tons. All of the gentlemen are firm and decided
in their politics. but yet not SO blinded with rreu
dice not to discern the best good of the whole
irrespective OF party.
