Mr.. EDITOR:
Dear Sir have no inclination to prolonga
newspaper discussion, but the communication of
your correspondent, Camden, requires few OBJ
servations from me, and they shall be as short as
possible.
lie says that I made, in former cnmmunca-
ton, statements so palpaby erroneous, that any
person with half an eye can see his object, that
ev dently belong to the in-popsr- party, dc. dc.
Now, let me, in the first place, inform him that |
am no., and hope that never will, belong to the
party in power, or any other party,; nor do | or
ever will desire such thankless office as War
den of Camden.
And further, wish it distinctly understood,
that am not the champion of party in power;
I am not one of those who think they never do
wrong; neither do l think that they never do
right: but do not wish to see mar, or set OF
men, forcing them out that they may force them
selves into power, by making%a great deal or
noise about nothing, for party purposes.
AS respects my 'palpable errors let us cS-
anime them. Where be takes his data from,
when he states that the inhabitants OF west De-
Ealb street pay taxes to the amount OF Saoo' /
am ,t loss TO conceive. Surely the Treasury
Of Camden must be very rich, if every little bye
street pavs in the same proportion! And where
he finds ten houses omit, am as utterly at loss

b 0ar neat. Gorernor.-Itsee now to be gen.
orally understood that General James Fl. Ham,
mond, of Barnwel District, is to be our next Co.
vernon. Parties in the State have settled down
nponthis nomination with great apparent unani-
nifty; and we have TO reason to doubt that this
gentleman will fill the chair of the Executive,
with credit to himself and with satisfaction to the
country. General Hammond is young man,
perhaps one OF the youngest who has been be-
'ore tie people as candidate for this high cfce;
hut he is possessed of considerable experience,
and very genera! information, and is estimated
by those who know him, as man Of liberal opin-
ions and sterling good serse. He is travelled
man, gentleman of fortune, and has held, with
distinction, seat in Congress from the districts
at present represented by the Hon. S. II. Butler
The political opinions of Gen. Hammond are
those of the party now in the ascendency-in our
State; but they are, we believe, entertained in
moderation, and unobtrusively expressed. or
course, we differ largely from him on many ofthe
tenets or his faith; but as it is not in our power
to choose our own man, we do not know any less
objectionable gentleman whom our opponents
could have determined on for this Office.
