UNION AND HARMONY.-Silas Wright
our ne1t Gouern0r
A.. we expected the nomination of Sas
Wright has been unanimously made we sta.
ted Yesterday that more than one hundred, out OF
the one hundred and twenty-eighl delegates, were
friends OF Silas Wrighrs denomination. Inc
democratic Party is an united party, and there
will be no dis.ensions in our ranks. we 90 INTO
the canvass with certainty OF success, and with
one of The purest men and ablest statesmen IN Inc
country al the head Of our ticket.
The nomination of Mr.. Wright is an evidence
of a determination on the part of The true friends
of democratic reform and democratic progress,
not TO desert those who have proved true 10 the
principles Of democracy. The unanimily with
which he was nominated shows how weak and
few we're those who opposed him. We were sat
isfel that The intelligent and honest portion Of
the democracy OF this State were strongly in Ia
vor Of Si!as Wrighrs denomination, though we
were also aware that an organized and skliuiiy
directed movement, on the part OF lew who op,,
posed him. was in active operation. Seeing all
this. and believing that the best interests OF the
democratic party and It's principles were in jeo-
pardy, we boldly came out in his favor. There
lore, we feel doubly gratiied atthe just
as we predicted-and we predict now that his re-
election is almost matter Of certainty. We do
moi exaggerale when we say 10 our friends and
our oppouen,s also that Sila, Wright will be
elected BY 20 900 majority, over all opposing can
didates. Union, harmony, good cause and a
popular candidate, on our side-wilh disunion,
discord, luminosity, and an unpopular cause on
The side OF our opponents, who says we shall not
be victorious

TREASURY NOTES.-Some of the Wing
presses and their correspondents, (says the Union,)
are attempting 10 depreciate the value OF treasury
notes. We see occasional paragraphs that they
are q 3, perhaps per cent. below par. This is
a gross mistake, il not misrepresentation. We
understand that they are at par in Philadelphia,
New York &C. They were below par for short
tire al New Orleans, because The city banks
there refused TO receive them at par. But The
Secretary Of The Treasury soon put every thing
10 rights by inslrucling 'the collector OF customs
in tha, city, and other United States receivers OF
public dues, 10 discontinue the receipt OF The notes
OF The city banks, and accept only gold and silver,
or treasury notes" Thus plainly telling them,
"our nores are as good as yours. ltyou will not
take ours, we will not take yours" 2dY By
issuing circular on the lth September, making
"al treasury noles, as we'll before as alter mau
rity, redeemable here, Cat Washnslon,) al the
treasury ofthe United States in specie, or in sight
drafts OF the Treasurer ofhe United States, equiv
alenl 10 specie, and payable in specie, drawn at
his option, upon Baltimore, Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, or The public repositories al such
other places as may be mutually agreed upon"
the Secretary Of The Treasury disspaled all doubts
about their par value Blu, il would be strange
indeed if any attempt 10 run down the treasury
notes should prove successful, when there have
not been Two millions of dollars them yet thrown
into circulation.
