malignant in their character TO re store the system

Who shall be the Democratic Candidate for
Governors

As the time draws nigh for the selection of a
candidate for Governor and 1T. Governor the
question naturally arises, who wiHalc the demo.
cratic candidates ! Our democratic brethren of
the press in the Southern portion of the State are
now, and have for some time, been busily cnga-
scd IN discussing the qualifications of their respec-
tive layofite candidates, for this honorable and
important station, whilst the North on tho other
hand, Is perfectly silent upon the subjcct-,ins,
IN measure, acccdlng the right to the candidate
as belonging to the South.
The Hon. ADAM w. SNYDER, of ST. Clair
county, seems 10 be the almost unanimous choice
OF the stcarllng Democracy of the South. 1t
would be needless to speak of the many dstin.
gulshcd qualifications of Mr. Snydcr-thc almost
unanimous voice in the South, in his favor, would
be sufficient guarantee for his gcnuincSrepubr
can principles, even if nothing else were shown
to vouch for them.
But whilst Mr.. Snyder is true democrat, we
want some other qualifications to accompany his
democracy. He must be the ardent AMI uncom.
promising friend of the Cana-lIe must make
"decis1ationS for The public eye" on this subject
before he can receive the support of the people in
tins section of Tho. State We care not who is the
candidate, or in which portion of the State he re.
sides, he must be the bold and open advocate
OF this magnificent work of internal improvement,
"a perfect Carlin-or we will drop him like n
hot potato, notwithstanding his democracy.
We arc happy to learn, from credible source
that Mr. Snyder intends to visit this section of the
state IN short time, and we sincerely hope thu,
