Who would be n Candidate.

We have already recorded the death Of
Mr.. Muhlenburgh, the democratic candi-
date for Governor of Pennsylvania, by
apoplexy. A correspondent, of the Phil
adelphia Chronicle writing from Reading
says This was the second attack of
the kind Mr.. NJ. had. the first on the
death of his wife.-Ths attack, his
friends assert was brought on by the
fierce political war now waging in this
neighborhood. The attacks lately made
in the Journal on Mr.. Ms character,
charging him with gambling, drunken.
ness, profane swearing, &C., together
with an article which appeared in the
journal of Yesterday, signed Hugh Lind
say, charging hun with bribery and cor
ruplion, kept Mr.. Muhlenberg in such a
state of excitement that all his friends no.
ticed it, Probably no citizen OF Penn
sylvania stood higher than Mr. Mullen
berg. He had been once a clergyman
bu, lief; the pulp for the bar, and filled a
seat in Congress and the post of Minis
ter to Russia with the highest reputation.
1t was no uncommon result for him to be
returned to Congress from his dis,ric, by
a majority of 3 and 1000 votes, and yet
with all this admitted popularity and an
unimpeachable reputation he was unfor-
tunately the candidate of his party for
governor, and was assailed by his ene-
mics as "a gambler, drunkard, and pro-
fame swcarer,' together with a charge Of
bribery and corruption. Character is Of
no valhe when citizen becomes a can
didate for high oilice--a bitter political
war robs him of all that is worth preser.
wing, and such charges operating upon a
sensitive and excitable mind have led to
this sad result A man must be brave
who enters the political arena in these
times-he must stand erect as the rugged
oak or bend like the plant willow, fol
the wind will whistle iercely around
him.-Sm Weekiy.
