FoR GOVERNOR OF ONO,
DAVID TOD.

OrWe this week place at the head Of
our editorial column the name Of DAVID
TOP, the democratic nominee for the Of
6ce Of Governor. In makingl this nomi-
tion, ,theStatsC Convention has only cOmpli-
ed with the wishes of the democracy,
expressed through the press and Other
channels in almost all portions oI
the State. Mr.. Tod's qualifications, bis
intellectual powers and craftsmanship as
displayed in the Senate Of this State, Ond
his frmness and consistency as a mem
Der of the demOcratic1pHrty, had gainet
for him the admiration and friendship
Of the democracy generally, ant

WEsTERNNAvIeATGoN.-The subject oI
improving The navigation of the MiSss

attention from Congress: and the catas
trophe Of the Shepherdess will doubtless
have its due influence in inducing the
necessary appropriation. In view Of thi:

Of fedsralisls and their measures, have
had time to reflect and be convinced of
the falsiiy OfthOse charges, and to wit,
uess the utter failure of the thousands Of
promises of better times that were then
made.
Then various modes of decepiionwere
used by our opponents, by suppressing
their principles in some cases, and de-
nying them in others and by nominating
men Of doubtful politics for the support
Of the people. Now, emboldene1 BY
recent success, they openly proclaim
their anti.republicaD principles, and bring
forward for Office men whose opposition
to democratic measures has been so uni-
form and violent for a long series Of
years, as 10 leave no ground for the peO'
pie to doubt that their success will be the
success Of ancient federalism.
Federalism in disguise may and ba
succeeded. But with the issue publicl
and clearly made and presented before
the American people, between federalism
and democracy, the success Of the latte
is almost certain.
