crowd was SO large that they were compelled to
have two stands for the speakers. Mr.. Reed and
Mr.. Clarkson, of Philadelphia, and Mr.. Forward,
spoke from one stand, and Messrs. Hampton, of
Pittsburg, and Stewart of Fayette, at the other.

Speaking of the nomination of Silas Wright as
the Locofoco candidate for Governor OF the State
of New York, the Republic says:
Mr.. Wright has accepted the nomination, not
wlthstanding his coy refusals hitherto. lie has
been twenty years in office in this State Mr..
Wright is native of Amherst, Massachusetts.
He voted in favor of the present tariff and against
the treaty of annexation with Texas but he now
opposes the tariff, and goes for a man for Pres-
dent who is pledged to carry out The offensive
treaty Our opponents may think this all very
consistent but we do not believe it will win for
him the Gubernatorial vote of this State"

Mr.. WRIGHT's NoMINATIoN-'The Evening
Post appears to be delighted with the nomination
of Mr.. Wright, and regards the satisfaction of the
Express as mere expression of words, to dis

have no fears of the election of Silas Wright.
